Maps

I'm surprised more people aren't mentioning the custom maps as a key component of the dedicated server approach. I got real bored real fast of the handful of maps officially available for COD4. if it wasn't for the custom map community I would have stopped playing a long time ago. It just gets boring. With custom maps there is something new to learn all the time, it keeps the player interested. The more dedicated the players are the more loyal they are to the franchise.
All this nonsense about clan players ruining the multi-player experience for casual gamers is also a bit off-target. I think you get better by playing against people who are better than you. It is how you learn. it is certainly how I learned. There are better ways to bring the casual gamer along.

DICE V. IW

You must look at all the promises that DICE put in when BF originally came out. The promised one thing to the next. As a BF2'er they have their problems as well. Players were OUTRAGED wating for patches, glitchers, hackers, to server crashers. Just to name some of the least. No One company is better than the next. They just use different tatics and ploys. MW1 was a fresh breath from BF2, a different look and feel to FPS, but it also lacked size in their maps. They "IW" wanted a CQC game, but to a BF fan this was a joke a spawn rapers fantasy.
Now to the appeal to the casual gamer, that is a joke, IW don't want some fresh face joe buying the game and quitting, because of a more hardcore player that squashes his dream in a 10 or 30 min round. The casual gamer gets frustrated so quickly then QUITS. " A Quitter will always Quit, A winner takes takes and sees that and rises up to that challenge"

Seriously U can try to put that shit on a disc i wont even bother buying the game & your trying to stop people from using modded controllers GOOD luck with that cause all of us that mod we find another way to by pass your LAME game filter and keep playing how we like ! WHy doesnt trey arch stoip bitchin about people using mods online in games ! seriously most of us have a mod or modded controlers so wat ever think of this dumbass : so people have trouble playing a game like others. Example NOM4D plays with his lips ( bad ass player) and people say hes modding , how the hell could he be modding wen hes playing COD5 with his lips ? See these dumbasses just bankrupted them selves they put a LAME SYSTEM IN AND SCREWED OVER THEIR SERVERS So basicaly TREYARCH SCREWED THEIR OWN COMPANY OVER By installing steam on the Disc ! Sorry your games are not perfect nor is the creator of the game. Its always been the mods, the pc gamers , and the people who hate mods ! I ll just get my hands on a better chip or program that will by pass your gay Detection system ! Soon some one will think of ways to detect your gay ass STEAM SHIT ON A GAME AND they will by pass it ! TREYARCH IS FULL OR SMART PEOPLE BUT ALSO FULL OF COMPLETE DUMBASSES WHO THINK PUTTING VAC AUTO DETECTION SYSTEM ON A GAME IS GONNA STOP HACKERS, MODS, PC GAMERS FROM BY PASSING YOUR GAY AND LAME SYSTEM ! What if we put an auto detection system on your servers and you had to install a bunch of our shit on your servers? you would be pissed ! NOM4D IS JUST AN EXAMPLE HE DOESNT CHEAT HIS PLAYING IS UNIQUE !

I'm going to laugh so hard if Treyarch gets the next Call of Duty and they add back dedicated servers. Then they would be the heroes and Infinity Ward the villains skulking in the dark. These days I play by 360 so these changes won't hurt me, still going to love MW2. Feel bad for the experienced PC player though, really does make all the difference in game quality. Lag on console is usually quite temporary and only for one game at a time, but on PC it can shift dramatically with a poor host. As for modding, don't really care because that is just a bonus anyway regardless of what people claim. Real issue is not having the freedom to set things up as you want them, have big games on a nice lag free server with a huge group of friends. Pretty lame.
Just sit back and relax

Altough i have witnessed in the last 3 days an avalanche of very accurate explanations about this hole issue of dedi-serv vs IW.net on all the major foruns, gaming sites, blogs etc. I think there is something the hole PC gaming comunity is missing.
IW/Activision alredy know this.. has well has we do, and they are well aware of what they are doing is in fact killing the PC Game/Comunity. At this point its better if we stoped trying to "explain" to them why dedicated servers are the only way.
instead, VOTE with our wallets and boycote this ridiculous and idiotic fiasco aka MW2. Cause honestly one thing that pisses ppl more is not even the name calling, but the outright obscene and arrogant attempt to insult our collective inteligence.
Boycote MW2!!

Guys look at it this way the game will cost 59.00 dollars. If every one that has signed the petition then right now at over a 147000 sig. that would cost Invinty Wards over 8.5 million in revenue. That how these corp. understand.

And to clarify, IW will not be hosting servers, they will simply be running a matchmaking service.
The game will be using listen servers, run on the PLAYER'S MACHINES!
Welcome back to the dark ages of peer to peer gaming.

As you said L4D does use a mixture of dedicated servers and matchmaking, but matchmaking can rarely get everyone into a server that's best for everyone in the lobby (in terms of latency).
This is exactly the reason why the server browser is immensely popular in the PC version of L4D. It bypasses the mess associated matchmaking allowing for an optimal online experience with as low latency as possible, clan matches to be played and communities to be formed.
STEAM VIRUS?

I'm still fuzzy, will it be necessary to install that damn virus/spyware crap called STEAM in order to play the game? I got F.E.A.R.3 and they had the crapware/spyware/virus called STEAM info on the side of the box in mice type. I didn't notice it until I went to install. I couldn't get my money back because the package was open and I'm NOT putting that freaking STEAM virus crapware back on my computer, so i was just screwed..........
So is the STEAM virus going to be included with MW2?
Lmao wow

I fully planned to buy this game for PC for all CoD series being fun and hard core type games, but i have a 360 and have played cod4 on it, trying to turn the PC Servers into that would be fucking terrible no mod support hell they would probably start charging us for map packs to if they are trying to change everything else to console. i got sick of IW after they stopped doing anything new for COD4 before a year after it was released, but this is just terrible. will definitely be passing this news on to anyone else planning to buy this on PC.

No dedicated servers = unplayable pings as seen on the console market. I always play on the servers where my connection is best.
Now we have no control over what server we are sent to.
So 6 leet players 12 noobs looking for a game. 6 leets get sent to a server with a sh1t ping due to matchmaking ? Why would anyone want to ?

I must admit I was and still am eagerly awaiting this release for the PC. Although after reading the news on no dedicated servers I have canceled my pre-order. I will not be purchasing or playing this in any form.
I've bought the series from day one. Now you wreck the whole PC community and server hosting which has put the green stuff in your pockets !!!
Hope the sales flop tbh.

Well it looks as if the developers want to control us pc gamers like they control the consol gamers. Best way to fight them is to not buy it. If they want to sell themselfs out to the console market ONLY then let them. Madden '09 and 10 have done it and there numbers dropped by over 2 million users....And they say Piracy is hurtful to there pockerbooks. Man they must all think we are stupid. Jokes on them.

I can't believe the move they made, I was all excited about MW2... and my clan aswell... over 200 players... and 99% of us have cancelled. We though this game would have more quality then COD5 by Treyarch but I guess... we can't expect much from Infini..Ward.. company.
Very disapointed... no dedicated servers... no modding and probably no custom maps.
THE SUCK. Let's just all move on... next.

My clan has played CoD since initial release with MoH before that. Preorders have been cancelled and we, like many other, are passing on this one. Bad move for IW when there are a slew of other titles coming out and looking for our money.

L4D uses dedicated servers on PC and Xbox. AFAIK the matchmaking's ping issues stem from the difficulties of finding a server that's good for *everyone* in the lobby.
