[RUMOR] Official Modern Warfare 2 Dedicated Servers?
Boomsling \| 4:56 AM on 11.17.2009	13 comments

Doc, set the clock to 16 october, 2009..

Just saw this on bashandslash:

Update 1 Midnight Oct 15 '09

Aside from the interesting Steam-related news, the latest I have heard related to dedicated servers was a comment from a GSP (anonymous source as he wanted anonymity) that dedicated servers will in fact be available. Apparently, he was contacted by IW on this topic recently.

Given that GSP's love the Steam interface...could we in fact be heading for an online Steam+dedi server scenario?

Lets hope it's not bullshit journalism.

If they build it, we will come.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

HAI-larious!

If this is true, I love how ID bought into the no-dedicated servers bullshit "because IW did it".

If IW admits defeat and puts dedicated servers back in, not only will I buy the game on PC, but it will also make ID look fucking stupid.

If IW actually puts Dedi servers in, then they get my sale. Nuff said.

Boomsling

Cross those fingers.

It wont be the first time a major development house has done a turn around. Remember the left 4 dead match making fiasco?

Here hoping eh?

eduh

ill buy the game too if they allow dedicated servers/mods

If this happens it'll be the largest communal 180 since we realized the Xbox was here to stay.

I will buy the game if dedicated servers are there for the bad ping crowd.

@Magnalon: WTF are you talking about? id said that they would be watching how things go with MW2 before deciding. In addition, Rage is a single player and co-op focused game, not a competitive one, so it doesn't really matter that much if they allow dedicated servers or not.

Good on them if it's true, but fuck you, I'm not paying 60 bucks for something that should have been 50. Principles.

adultswim810

ill buy it for 50 w/ dedi servers

WastelandTraveler

man I hope we can hit 88mph and make this one happen.

Chortles

I think this will come down in deciding (by Activision/IW, let's not kid ourselves and hope that somehow IW gets to make the call on their own) not to cost-effectiveness, but rather "will enough people buy the game BECAUSE of the change to make it worth the programmer's time?" (Read: Are the bridges burned or merely charred?)
