Activision Broke MW2Posted:

Activision decided to disable dedicated servers in MW2, so instead of being able to join a server of your choice they're going to make it like the console when you're thrown into random matches and crap basically
There's already a petition with over 85,000 signatures that was started yesterday to get the dedicate server feature back. So hopefully they will bring this back. Very disappointing though, because I like to be able to go into servers of my choice, especially with a game like this.
I loved the gameplay and the character but like many others on the pc I had many bugs which pretty much rendered the game unplayable. plus those little side missions where you run around in a circle as fast as you can were really gay.
i mean, we just do what we used to do on DODS all the time. "hey you already in a game? cool i'll follow you".... what does it matter who's hosting it if it has the right ruleset?
either way, i'm still super excited for this game.
but wtf... just looked there's no preorder on steam yet... cmon they're integrating the IWNET with steam for pete's sake!!! only 3 weeks to get this shit together IW!!!!

As long as they have a stable system for me to play on come release I'll be happy, I'll still miss dedicated servers though. I was actually looking at buying one with my Christmas break work money if everyone was playing it
there is no person hosting. The IWNet servers host. but if they are the first to start the game and leave i doubt anything will happen.
that is what i thought at first, but it works like it does on a console. one person is the host, and it gets hosted on their local box.
"Asked whether this meant each player's PC would have to host other players, he said: "As far as I know. But as far as getting down into the technicals of all IWNet, I'm hoping we can get some, you know, get some of the tech guys into some stuff later on to explain it in depth."

its going to be just like far cry 2. They tried the same thing it sucks in my opinion because whenever the host d/c you had to find a new game. It fucked up the ranking system because exp was a hard to get and it killed all competitive play but who knows maybe it will work out in MW2
