Appearently there will be no dedicated servers for MW2 on pc. Wasn't able to listen to it but their official forums are blowing up with responses. They took out a major selling point for the PC version.... Pretty lame.

I guess I am going to pass on MW2 now...

Doesn't affect me, I'm a console CoD guy anyway.

I seriously don't believe it. So does that basically mean no online play, or will it be done though some stupid Xbox live set up?

Yeah I'm assuming it'll be peer to peer match making. I really can't understand how this benifits anyone. It will force more pirates and less PC sells resulting in more stats to go towards the "death of the pc" arguments

I think that there will still be dedicated servers, from what I understand this will be EXACTLY the same to how L4D works . . .

and reading the official infinity ward forums is like pounding your head against a brick wall for multiple hours .. .

Start listening at about 1:38

This is Rob Bowling aka fourzerotwo. He is an IW employee and the public face of MW2.

The confirmation of no dedicated servers is @ 1:41.

There will be no dedicated servers, instead there will be a matchmaking server system like a Xbox Live (that they are calling IWnet). Servers will be solely P2P like console games will be and oriented toward "matching the players with others of similar rank and skill".

I won't be buying this game.

This also means no cutom content, no custom maps, no mod tools, no admin tools, nothing.

This thread might as well be called "IW confirms TTP will not host MW2"
