While we ensure that there is a solid administration interface, we are not creating any fancy tools. Why not? Because the community will do a much better job!

As they do for EVERYTHING, including DLC, so you are keeping the money maker for yourself, while shorting the end user and admin base.

What abunch of assholes.

Been playing MW2 since launch, and really the reports of hackers are way out of proportion. Its not any worse than any game released since the days of quake. I look forward to BFBC2, mainly because my buddies are BF fans, but I always preferred the CoD series over BF. Something about the movement or combat or weapons that makes the BF series feel clumsy to me. I dunno. Anyway, people just hate MW2 because they need something to hate... No dedicated servers is not an issue, IWnet has been working great for me.

Well BF2 has about 50,000 more users that MW2 and has been around for 5 years or so? Still, the bottom line, the hacking is insane and can really ruin an otherwise stellar gaming experience.

Anything to keep this from being like Battlefield 2, the most hacked online FPS of all time! I'm down with it!

Ping normally refers to network latency, especially in games. If you're the one running the simulation, it doesn't really mean anything. I just quoted that bit because it made no sense, like much of the rest of the article.

I specifically said "latency" instead of "network latency" because that's what I meant.

Suppose you're at a LAN party and you and a friend are connected to a dedicated server also present at the LAN. When your friend has 30ms and you have 5ms who's to blame for the extra 25ms? Likely not the server, switch, or Cat5. The problem is your friend's machine.

Hosting the game on your computer puts you at a very great advantage. You will have the lowest effective ping in the game (approximately ~20ms).

That makes no sense at all. Maybe "lowest effective latency" was what he meant? 20ms still sounds high, though.

"Ping" is equivalent in usage to latency when dealing with most online games.

And 20ms is high? What's a guy gotta do to be considered an LPB nowadays?

This appears to be a blatant disregard for the ISP's ToS, and may even constitute consumer fraud.

For example, I game with a player in New York who has a quad-core and a FIOS (fibre-optic) package...he hosts every game. Imagine his bandwidth numbers.

There will be an auto-pause available for those players who like to use it.

And the more and bloated drivers are the more the slow down the machine - not to mention those of us who complain don't need that junk.

10. The plaintiff hopes for pain and suffering damages along with punitive damages in the amount of 55,000 dollars. The plaintiff also wishes for all additional relief to which the plaintiff is entitled. The plaintiff has video evidence to help prove his case.

HAHA! You're funny. I know this is sarcasm since every videogame movie tie-in sucks nuts.
