There will be no dedicated server for
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2,
reports a
new BASH webcast on
BASHandSlash.com, where they converse with Infinity Ward community manager
Rob Bowling about their concerns that PC platform is being marginalized for MW2
(thanks Steve). They learn the PC edition is still not delayed, and will include
Steam support, but their concerns are only heightened by learning that there
are no plans for a dedicated server for the game, as matchmaking on the PC will
entirely go through IW.net. Robert did not have answers to questions about how
this will impact custom map-making and modification efforts. The
Infinity Ward Forums have a petition asking for dedicated server support and
there's another
Dedicated Servers for CoD-MW2 Petition on petitionsonline.com that currently
boasts over 15,000 signatures.
