No dedicated servers on MW2

[Pino]

Whatever goodwill may have been garnered by Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling's announcement that the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 wasn't delayed has been stripped away by an interview which surfaced later in the day. On the latest podcast (around the 1:41 mark) of Call of Duty fansite Bash and Slash, Bowling revealed that matchmaking within Modern Warfare 2 would be reliant on proprietary server technology (called IWNet), and wouldn't allow users to host their own dedicated servers.

Even without a doctorate in PC gaming affairs, it's easy to see how this fact would upset someone (or some community) who drops a wad of cash every month on renting a private server. Also preturbed by this news are fans of modded game modes and custom maps -- both of which would be unlikely under the IWNet framework. While Bowling maintained that the new server tech would be a boon for the PC gaming community, most hardcore PC gamers aren't particularly thrilled about MW2's server hosting capabilities being brought into parity with those of the console versions of the game. (That is to say, completely eliminated.)http://bashandslash.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=745&Itemid=111

yeah sucks because i know 3 hosting companies that have already started to sale dedicate servers for the release and now they have to refund all that money

lol @ vid

im not too fussed really, im buying the game and i dont think i get to play with you guys too much until summer (because of time difference). but i think they will kind of sell slots to communities for sure, or allow people to host their own somehow.

[taliban]

does that mean you have to pay them for the server or what?

[Agent47]

62714 yup this is some BULL

[SnakeDoctor]

no it means it will be like a console you do quick matches or fellow a friend into a server and they will all be dedicated infinity ward servers no custom names servers so no Joint[Ops] server to play with a fellow Ops member you will add them to a friends list and just fellow them into a publicly hosted infinity ward server. Now you can start a server like in COD3 on console but after you leave the game the server will close just like a console game would do.

This is why all the game hosting companies that have already start to persale dedicated servers will be screwed. They have to refund all the money they have collected unless this gets changed.

So selling slots will not take place if this happens nor will allowing people to host their own server because that would mean dedicated server's and that is what they are trying to stop. I am not sure how many of you play on console but i did this weekend with a friend i played CODMW and the only way to join a friend is to fellow them into a server that means one person joins a server and you have a per set server list that other players have started on the infinity ward server and then you are able to connect but as soon as that person that started the server leaves the server will crash or some one else in there will be come the server admin. Like most consoles that would be the second person that joined the server or the server host can hand over the admin to another player before leaving. So as you can see we would not have a Joint[Ops] server we would just join or create a temp server to play on and when done play the server is gone. One way around this is some one like myself that has 3 machine would have to buy a copy start a server and then leave one machine connected to the server at all times.

[taliban]

ummm ok, well we'll see what happens....

[thekiller]

you wont have to ask ppl to donate then ;)

[SnakeDoctor]

Oh yeah that is good then i will still pay for the website myself and the cod4 servers as well great way to think about that i guess the web hosting most pay for itself lol

[thekiller]

Oh yeah that is good then i will still pay for the website myself and the cod4 servers as well great way to think about that i guess the web hosting most pay for itself lol


i meant for the cod mw2 servers and cod4 is dead so u wont need two servers of that.

[SnakeDoctor]

Stop hijacking post with dumb ass comments this is about dedicate servers not how cod4 is dead or how ops are cheap bastards and can not donate but a few of them.

[KAYsniper]

what is ""DLC may now need to be paid for" ?
does that mean some one has to create a game and keep their pc on cod all the time?
can u lock the server?

strange idea by infinity. i hope it fails miserably

[no-cd]

"DLC may now need to be paid for"No, that means when IW releases new map packs you MUST pay for them to play, as if you were playing on a console.

DLC = Downloadable Content

[SnakeDoctor]

yeah like when battle field 2 released the new addon mod all it was was weapons and maps but they called it something else and charged people for it.

[SnakeDoctor]

If i wanted to play something like that i would have stuck with bf2

[SnakeDoctor]

Talking with my friend that plays CODMW now on 360 if you are in a clan or a group you join a friend lobby that a host makes then you get all your friends together in one lobby. Then the host set's the type of server you want to play and and then searches for it. Then when all members in that lobby join the game they are all on the same team. They may or may not be the server admin now as soon as the admin leaves the next in line becomes the admin until that server is empty then it starts all over again.

[Pino]

Its still p2p so you will feel the lag for sure

bahahahahaahah that video is funny as shit!

[PlayerName]

bahahahahaahah that video is funny as shit!

I wanna know what movie that is!!!!

[infinity]

I signed the petition. But honestly I don't think it will matter much even if we do get dedicated servers the game will still basically be a console port. And be as popular as COD3 was. But at least with COD3 It was console exclusive. I'll be waiting for BF3.

[SnakeDoctor]

kevin that is the whole point of getting a dedicate server so it will not be like the console and just a reminder COD3 was not released for PC CODWAW was and it did have dedicated servers because we had one for a few months but no one really cared for it,

[infinity]

Yeah I know COD3 wasn't released for PC that's why I said It was a console exclusive. And IMHO it failed.

Even with dedicated servers this is a console port. More than likely ported from the XBOX360 seeing as it has allmost the same arcitecture as a PC. Porting from the PS3 would be alot harder and wouldn't be as accurate of a port.

PC will be useing the same server architecture as the consoles if it is up to IW

Im not trying to be buzzkillington here I wish it wasn't like this. We got fucked!

[KAYsniper]

No, that means when IW releases new map packs you MUST pay for them to play, as if you were playing on a console.

DLC = Downloadable Content


OMG that sux hairy balls

so then u will need an account like steam or something to pay for downloads.

this actually will narrow down the gamers, cos not everyone wants steam and and pay for downloads.

i hope infinity suffer from this.

[KAYsniper]

RPmWTpfbxI4


loved that video mate!

[SnakeDoctor]

have you read all the boycott and also the amount of clan and gaming community that have already canceled the per-orders am sure they are already feeling it.

[KAYsniper]

you know even though i know i will be playing some stupid 12 year old whos hosting a game with shity 25kb upload i dont want to cancel my pre-order, im just full of hope that some sort of delay or patch will fix the problem

fingers crossed.

another thing thats going to suck for me is the fact that i always get kicked from servers for being accused of hacking, i take refuge from being kicked in servers where i know the ppl and they know me. now i doubt i will get any of that protection


so we have to come up with a plan to fix this problem. we have to have a server or a host that has good upload that will run the game 24/7 we OPS members will have remote access to the server, host game. The server will be flyingright and we all will add it as friend and advertise it, so if ppl want to join they can join friend
we have remote access to kick off any one we dont like (that if that is possible)
and also customise it to our liking, eg 20 man slot , killcam, spwn time, cracked etc.

lets see how it goes.

[SnakeDoctor]

WELL kAY I REALLY DONT THINK THE CRACKED PART IS GOING TO BE NEED ANYMORE BEING WITH THE RELEASE OF MW2 ALL OF US SEEMED TO BE GOING LEGAL ANYWAYS. I MEAN I WAS GOING TO BUY 2 COPIES LIKE I DID WITH CODWAW JUST TO GO LEGAL.

REALLY I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE DEDICATE SERVERS BUT HAVE A LOGIN ACCOUNT LIKE BATTLEFEILD HAS SO YOUR KEY MATCHES YOUR LOGIN AND BOOM YOU ARE SET TO GO. I MEAN SHIT BATTLE FIELD 2 HAS BEEN OUT FOR 4 YEARS NOW AND IF YOU LOOK AROUND ONLY HANDFUL OF THE CRACKED SERVERS HAVE RANKING ON THEM THAT IS BECAUSE TO DO THE RANKING YOU NEED A SQL DATA BASE BIG ENOUGH AND FAST ENOUGH TO UPDATE PLAYERS STATS WITH OUT THAT YOU ONY HAVE CRACKED SERVERS THAT HAVE UNLOCKED WEAPONS BUT NO PLAYER STATS AND AWARDS.

[KAYsniper]

ok no need to shout my friend

[SnakeDoctor]

sorry are work lol the program i am in only see's caps it is a weird program i know we have been trying to get that fixed for some time now but it is the only way for it to be seen and when i hit save it corrects the caps but for some reason on the post it did not will have to look into that


wow i just did the math if every one that signs that petition boycott the buying of codmw2 they would already loss

over $500000 in sales and that is only been up for 2 days

[KAYsniper]

heh but would all hoes signing actualy boycotte it? i signed it up but im still buying mine

interesting read about dedicated servers, it says that no one specifically mentioned that there would be no dedicated servers and Robert Bowling said PC will be the same as it always was
here (http://bashandslash.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=739&Itemid=111)

[KAYsniper]

:O activision trade going down in real time :O

here (http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ATVI)

[SnakeDoctor]

just wait i bet it goes down much more the closer we get to the release date. That and I bet that Bowling will not be the spokes men much longer too you know shit rolls down hill and being he made the statement it will come back on him from the share holders.

[SnakeDoctor]

I mean that petition has only been up 3 days and look at how many signatures it has already some people may say it does not make a difference but hell i bet it is well over 1million the more it gets out before it gets to 1 week of the release date. Plus being they pushed out the PC release from what i heard 2 weeks from the console release.


What they more not realize is alot of PC players are also console players lol i would have bought 3 copies if the PC ver was good enough one for myself one for angel and one for the 360 and i know i am not the only house hold that would have done that.

[KAYsniper]

yeah your right snake Bowling will get the stick

anyways the BIG question, who is cancelling their Pre-Orders ?

[SnakeDoctor]

never per order on any game for some reason most be because infinity and i live in such a small area I never have any trouble finding the new release the day they come out. I mean just look at WAW bought it the day it released and same with CODMW the day it released. I guess that is one of the good things about living in such a small heck town.

Plus I have a steam account so if need be i will just get it through there.

[taliban]

wow, didnt think it would be so bad, but i'm still waiting on it no matter what lol

[Pino]

Modern Warfare fansite bashandslash.com recently reported that Infinity Ward is removing dedicated server functionality from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. With dedicated servers and the server browser that comes with them replaced with custom-built matchmaking, PC gamers will have an online experience functionally identical to console players. Among other things, this means that clans can't run their own servers with their own mods and rulesets for their own private (or public, if they feel like crushing some scrubs for giggles) use.

Predictably, nerds across world took to the Internet with a wailing and a gnashing of teeth that would make the Left 4 Dead community proud. An online petition to bring back dedicated servers at the time of this writing stands at 100,000+ signatures. However -- and this may shock some gamers with advanced persecution complexes -- this move was not made to tweak the noses of the PC community. Infinity Ward heads Jason West and Vince Zampella explain the decision as a conscious effort to improve their game for the vast majority of their players.

"We're just prioritizing the player experience above the modders and the tuners," says West. He points toward the mounting feedback IW has received from PC fans of Modern Warfare who couldn't find a decent server to play on between all of the cheaters, the insular communities, and huge skill level disparities that the original game's community fractured into. "We thought maybe it would be cool if the fans could play the game," he laughs.

IW says that gameplay concerns for the majority of MW2 players are the overriding reasons for the decision. Zampella downplays the obvious piracy prevention angle (IW has cited numbers of people online playing illegal copies of Modern Warfare up to 60 percent). "The Steam stuff helps with the piracy. I don't know that the matchmaking stuff does," he notes. West takes a shot at the motives behind some of the outrage, noting that there's money to made by selling dedicates servers and adspace on them: "It's a little dubious. Some of the people complaining are complaining with their pocketbook."

Again and again during our conversation, West and Zampella hammer the point that hardcore PC players lose very little to this change relative to the returns that casual to moderate fans will see. Clans can set up private matches to do their training or what have you; all they lose is the ability to customize the game on a deeper level with mods and such. Infinity Ward sees the addition of solid matchmaking and community support like IW-run tournaments to the PC as a huge win, and not something that could be done under the old system.

Why not have both? West does not want to include dedicated servers alongside the custom-built backend, stating that it would just "bifurcate the community."

[SnakeDoctor]

they are crack smokers and as kay already point out the stock in activation has already fallen and unless they add dedicate server back to the mix the stock will fall even more. I am sure that the share holders will have some thing to say about this specially come the release date if the sales are not near the projected numbers of sales is more then 15% of what they projected. I have read a few different forums and have seen many community that over 90% of their members have canceled the per-order.

[RedHawk]

They could clean up this whole mess by just allowing dedicated servers in addition to their matchmaking service.

[Pino]

I recently broke news on a PC community member’s podcast that Modern Warfare 2 would be introducing a completely new backend infastructure called IWNET that would allow matchmaking for multiplayer games on PC. The news, by default, means no more browsing through a Server List for a server with the settings / ping you want among other things, and sent shockwaves through the hardcore PC community, leading to many more questions than answers as to ‘HOW’ this would work, and if it would really be better for the PC community as a whole.

Questions, assumptions, and speculation I intend to dispel.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is actually the biggest investment Infinity Ward has ever made into the PC version of our games. It’s also the most feature-rich PC version we’ve ever made. IWNET takes the benefits of dedicated servers and allows them to be utilized and accessed by every player, out of the box, while removing the barrier to entry for players unaware of how to maintain a server on their own.

How does it do this?

Matchmaking & Smoother Gameplay: When you want to player a multiplayer game on PC, in the past. You’d have to scroll through a Server Browser which listed every available server which was hosted by individual server admins. Each had their own private rules, mods, or ways of playing the game. Most players would also use the server browser to find just the best quality game (based on PING). With IWNET matchmaking, it takes all that into account for you. All you have to do is select the playlist (pre-set gametypes with custom rules) that fits the style of play you are in the mood for. When you do, it will automatically find you a game with the best performance, ping, and preferences based on your location and individual connection as well as matching you with players of your same SKILL. So you’re always guaranteed the best game performance for where you are and what connection you’re playing on as well as an equal game with other players of your same skill level, not rank, but skill level. It doesn’t mean you’ll just be thrown into a random game! It will put you in the game that will give you the smoothest gameplay possible without you having to manually find a server with the best ping.

Playlists and Private Matches: As I described above, Playlists are pre-set game modes and gametypes for public games. If you just want to jump into a public game of Search and Destroy or Hardcore Search and Destroy and you don’t care about fully customizing it, then you can utilize playlists to do that quickly for you. However, say you’re in a clan and you want to play a Clan match with another team, or you want to practice for an upcoming tournament that has specific rules in a private game. Then you can start a Private Match (which is essentially like running your own private server) where you have complete control over the rules, who can join, boot players you don’t want, and essentially control the entire game or tweak it to your liking. Once the rules are set, you can invite the other team in or just start it up with your clan to practice with the custom rules before the match. This now allows you to play custom games out of the box without the need to install mods, find a modded server with the rules you like, or worry about not being in control of the match.

Party System and Friendslist: Modern Warfare 2 on PC also makes it much easier if you want to party up with your friends, or again, with your clan for a match. You can utilize the friendslist to see when your friends are online, and invite them to your Party. A Party allows you to move from game to game as a group. It’s great for clan matches, because you can party of with your clan and move from public game to public game together. Or if you’re doing a scrim, party up and invite the other clan (who is in a party) and they’ll all join at once. Set up a private match together and play. It makes setting up scrims or games with friends easier and hassle free.

Cheat / Hack Free Games: The biggest benefit of using IWnet by far is the fact that you don’t have to worry about joining a server full of aim-bots, wallhacks, or cheaters. Or relying on the server admin of the server to constantly be monitoring, banning, and policing it. Modern Warfare 2 on PC allows us to control the quality of the game much more than ever before as well as utilizing the VAC (Valve-Anti-Cheat) system to keep games clean of hackers and cheaters.

All in all, IWNET adds a load of new features that the PC version of our games have never had before and allows us an infrastructure to continue to update and improve on the game post-launch.

I hear you there Red if they would allow the in game lobby to be set like that and then also allow dedicate servers for more fine tuned servers for communities.

glad i pre-ordered it when it was cheap.

[SnakeDoctor]

Seriously per-order does not have any thing to do with the topic this was more about the not having dedicated servers no home for Ops i mean serious if it was going to be how they want to have it now we should all just run out and buy a xbox360 and play it on console i mean really they are killing alot of community and sites please do you not see how many server hosted out there already started to rent space for dedicated servers all those hosting company's are going to have to refund that money.

i would say per-order we are not going to i am just going to buy our copies the day of release but i am also going to spend a extra $60 plus $50 to buy my subst to xbox live. Might as well i mean if we are going to play like a console might as well get the console too plus i may be able to extend our little community here because i have a friend over in Orlando that has alot of players that he plays with that may come together under the Ops tag for 360

[SnakeDoctor]

[SnakeDoctor]

Have to forgive tali he is sleeping with the enemy

[KAYsniper]

yeah last night iw team where at public interview on bestbuy's website, random noobs where firing questions at them

Dedicated servers is not included, they want us to trust them with IW.net and say that it will be awesome (humph) and they have not ruled out dedi servers from the future as Vince-IW said "We put a lot of work into IWnet in an effort to make the PC experience better for our users. If there is a need for somthing more in the future we will address as needed".

How the fuck do they ask us to trust them with IW.net? as the maximum players a server can hold is 18! :O
yes thats right "MW2 supports games from 1v1 in Cagematch all the way up to 9v9 in the Ground War playlist" said Mackey-IW.
you can see that this game is not designed for clans or any other big community.
IW.net will set you up with what server to join, which means UK players will playing games of 4V4 as the average upload speed for UK broadband is 256kb-700kb.
this is hardly a multiplayer experience!

MW2 is more like console as they have removed the Q & E buttons from the game
"The game is not balanced for lean" said Mackey-IW. The removal of lean defeats the purpose of playing a COD MP game, as it is like playing CounterStrike or Unreal or even Halo FFS.

This finally begs the question is this game worth buying, is it worth $60? really? As you can Pirate the game play the game in MP is a similar fashion with friends using Hamachi, and there will be some sort of crack.
Should any of us be hyped up for next week?

[no-cd]

...Are you serious? Thats like saying who uses the jump key anymore. More like who dosnt use lean. Lean is huge in COD because you could lean around walls and other objects so that only the upper portion of your body is exposed thus less of a chance ur enemy can hit you. I bet you would get better scores if you learned to use it.

[taliban]

well thats cause u suck!
real players use lean!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[Pino]

I dont know how u still buying the game tali

[no-cd]

MW2 is officially off my buying list, they just took too many features away and raised the price on top of that. Its a complete joke and if this clan is changing to a MW2 clan than im out, Infinity Ward has slowly transformed a skill based game (COD2) to a run and gun console game. Call of Duty 2 was and still is the best out of all that I have played...lets analyze this.

COD2 - Skill based, I can come up with about 100,000,000 reasons why.

-No Helis, think about it 7 kills is not alot...dosnt take a pro to get a heli and they are wayyyy to over powered.
-No airstrikes...same reason.
-COD2 maps pwn...COD4 - Creek: Stupid...COD4 - shipment:Stupid - COD4:Killhouse-Half Stupid

I can keep going, but im not saying cod4 sucks...just saying cod2 was better.

COD4 - Half Skilled based, at least they kept the lean function.

COD MW2 - Complete Fail. I wonder if IW thought, "How can we fuck over the pc community and make them all buy consoles". Sadly they are gonna get alot of money from this game because of all the console owners.

MW2
-Max 18 players...COD4 Max 32? i think, but there is a workaround for 64. Dont think there will be a workaround for MW2 though...IW owns the servers.
-No Lean...now you can enjoy playing a nice graphics version of CS.
-No recording, IW dosnt care if you did good in a match and wanted to post a vid
-You wanna buy it on PS3 because pc was epic fail, guess what...IW removed hardcore mode from PS3 version.
-You wanna buy it on Xbox360, IW decided to remove party chat...apparently xbox players are pissed, i honetly dont care about that lmao.
-On top of all this, pc version was delayed and console players get their copies 2 weeks prior to pc players (not like im gonna buy this epic fail anyways).

And its funny when you think about it because pc players are the reason cod was such a success in the first place.

[taliban]

I dont know how u still buying the game tali
yeh for souvenir lol, I havent bought a game in years

good thing I have my gaming laptop :D

[Bigstick]

I was being sarcastic about treyarch tali................lolz:p

[KAYsniper]

fuck me, I didnt think this would happen but shit yeah forgot thats the problem in cod 4 on my friends xbox
Basically you join a game via match making, then u decide u dont like it noobs, less players, LAG or some shit. so leave game, then u use match making again and BAM ur back in the same server! u do it again and no luck- ur fucked!
This is how matchmaking is like (on iw forums):

"So you are walking on a rainy day, you slip and fall on a coincidentally dildo shaped stone. The stone penetrates your pants and goes straight into your ass. You try to get up, but then you slip and it goes in again. Again, you struggle to get up but you fall yet again and get anally penetrated. The cycle goes on and on."

[SnakeDoctor]

sounds as if you put alot of thought into that last statement there Kay lol but yes you are right i was playing 360 this weekend with a friend and he had a invite lobby set up so all his friends and my friends online could join then we looked for like 20 minutes for a good game for all of us to play being we are all over the US and guys what ended up finally finding one played one game and the fucking host left. But this is better yeah right i would rather join a server with a 100 ping then try and find a server that will support all my friends. I mean even with a 100 ping you get used to the playing and then you are set.

[taliban]

lmao! oh boy that sux!

[Pino]

Lol that happened to me few times when i was on my friend house (somedude if u still remember him) i was lagging like hell and left the game and then use the match making and the fcking system got me there again and i was like WTF?! are you serious

[SnakeDoctor]

yeah you get players that say we never lose a match it is because they leave the game before it is over and the server crashes lol if that was the case every time we play a scrim i will restart the server at the last minute so we don't lose too :)

[KAYsniper]

lol yeah i remember somedude, cool guy lots of fun in cod2, i like the sig btw

also another thing is apparently you cant kick players out. so youl have to suck some guys fat cock or hold hands with some gay tranny. You aint got a choice!

[SnakeDoctor]

yeah i remember him as well because i always thought it was weird because we had a player on sudden strike from london called somedude that was in our clan for TNT

Not sure where you get the game has been delayed I just called game stop and they are having a MidNIght release on Monday night for it and if you go by that the time and date is correct for eastern time zone for Monday night at midnight when the release starts and as i said every place that is having the mid night release I have called says it is still a go so please post a link that says it has been delayed so i can refer them to that. I mean i would thing that Gamestop would know by now if the game is delayed. He actually laughed and said i was not the first to call and ask that question

[taliban]

holy shit! :rolleyes:


It never was delayed Snake

Kay watch out if you down load the torrent alot of hype online right now about it being fake and a trojan i just closed 2 sites stating IW released a fake copy to torrent sites.

The games are out, people have it!
you cant install the game without activating the license key which requires steam activation. Activation apparently might be open from the 10th or the 13th.

lol pwnt hahahaa!

[KAYsniper]

keys of the PC game, notice what happen to the buttons Q & E, there is still the ~ button for console, so some moding or tweaking seems possible.

Wierd! just saw the back of one copy and it said " NOT FOR SALE IN UK" that doesnt make sense at all, I swear there's pre-orders and all that, and I haven't heard of any banning of the game yet, except talks in Australia.

Playlists and Private Matches:As I described above, Playlists are pre-set game modes and gametypes for public games. If you just want to jump into a public game of Search and Destroy or Hardcore Search and Destroy and you don’t care about fully customizing it, then you can utilize playlists to do that quickly for you. However, say you’re in a clan and you want to play a Clan match with another team, or you want to practice for an upcoming tournament that has specific rules in a private game. Then you can start a Private Match (which is essentially like running your own private server) where you have complete control over the rules, who can join, boot players you don’t want, and essentially control the entire game or tweak it to your liking. Once the rules are set, you can invite the other team in or just start it up with your clan to practice with the custom rules before the match. This now allows you to play custom games out of the box without the need to install mods, find a modded server with the rules you like, or worry about not being in control of the match.http://www.modernwarfare2.com/news.php?id=3

There seems to be some problems with MW2 DVD's
Its been reported by some German group that the 2nd DVD doesnt work
Doess that mean those of us who bought the game will have to wait a little longer?

wow this game sounds like shit
... well ... it looks badass!
.. but NO LEAN?!?! WTF!!! LAAAAAME!! thats the reason why i threw farcry2 in the shit pile.
like seriously.. how can they remove lean? its like THE feature that made COD better than any other FPS.
all FPSs should have iron sights, lean, crouch and prone, any that doesnt = shit game.
good thing i checked up with you guys before i bought it!
no lean, steam, no ded servers = no buy for me ... sad i was looking forward to this .. but LAAAMMEE!
