Infinity Ward On Dedicated Servers

comp_ali · Nov 4, 2009, 04:21 AM

The 2 biggest controversies surrounding Infinity Ward's highly-anticipated upcoming first-person shooter, Modern Warfare 2, are the lack of dedicated servers for PC gamers and the rumored lack of Party Chat for Xbox 360 users. With just one week away from release it's unlikely we'll see anything change before then, which has a rather large group of gamers upset. Mackey McCandlish and Ryan Lastimosa of Infinity Ward recently took part in a live chat with the BestBuy.com community. Here's what they have to say about dedicated servers and their replacement IWnet.

They keep saying the same thing: IWNet will be better for players and will give better gameplay...better than dedicated servers which, a few YEARS after release still have ~15,000 servers up?? whhyyy...

I don't even care for the game and I still say, what a bunch of BS.

If they are going to make matching via IWnet like consoles they better make cross-platform multiplayer , this way no one will buy the console version
