A post to Robert Bowling's Blog has further follow-up on the uproar over the absence of a dedicated server for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. He lists several areas they feel will benefit from their new approach: Matchmaking & Smoother Gameplay, Playlists and Private Matches, Party System and Friendslist, and Cheat / Hack Free Games. On that last topic, he seems to believe IWnet will eliminate aim-bots and such: "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." Also, there's an interview with Bowling on IGN that discusses the game, but none of the recent controversy.

Maybe so. But Valve did fly a couple of those guys out to look at L4D2. So, they do pay attention to petitions.Tim wrote: The L4D2 Boycott was hypocritical rubbish.
You can make dedicated servers for Left 4 Dead. There's just no lobby. I've done it here.Tim wrote: But I have to ask, how different is this from the way Valve set up servers for Left 4 Dead?

Devil May Cry 4? Sold a bunch of copies on all platforms.
Aaaaaaaand Stockwell Day (Canadian Politician) never changed his first name to "Doris" despite over a million signatures.
Online Petitions don't do anything but generate buzz in the publisher's favor and keep people talking about a game while they finish the dull Beta to Gold cycle, which is just before the launch marketing push. See again L4D2 boycott.
I do sympathize with the hardcore PC guys out there who will sorely miss dedicated servers.
But I have to ask, how different is this from the way Valve set up servers for Left 4 Dead? Or is this something more like a Halo or Battlefield situation? The majority of people who are going to buy MW2 are console gamers who don't give a shit about dedicated anything. It could be a tech issue? Who knows? My point here isn't to defend Activision it's to say that let's quit the Q Q and make with the pew pew.
At least until the game comes out. Then the gloves are off.
