and for what?Īssuming the matchmaking is like LIVE, you'll likely wind up being matched partially based on connection status anyway, so you'll have a decent ping.
They're killing the communities and providing a much worse networking architecture. They don't pay for the servers, the communities do. Why would they do this? Fair enough adding a matchmaking service, but why take away the dedicated server? but it's been confirmed by their reps multiple times now.Įveryone I've spoken to in the PC CoD community has cancelled their pre-orders because of this announcement :/ * No longevity (no zombies, hide & seek, gun-game, other stuff people start playing when the game gets old).Īt first I thought it was either a IW-representative misspeaking, or a hoax. * No competitive scene (all tournaments run mods).

They've also announced they will not allow user-created mods for the game, which means: ** No tournaments / ladders / competitions. ** No "just down the road" servers where you get to know other locals. ** No clan/ISP/web-site servers - no recruiting/advertising for these services. * No favourite / community-based servers. ** What happens if only one peer has enough bandwidth to act as a Server, and that peer disconnects? ** All hosts are on consumer broadband, which may not have enough bandwidth to host a large amount of players. ** No choice of connecting to a geographically-local server. If that peer disconnects, then the server migrates to another peer. They also talk about "host migration", which leads me to believe it's not actually P2P in-game - one of the peers is elected to be the Server. Infinity Ward have announced that the PC version of MW2 will not allow anyone to create dedicated servers for multi-player.Īll multi-player games must be played through a XBL/PSN style P2P matchmaking service instead.
