[cod] Need to know

[Click Bouyow]

I just don't see that happening.  I can see the "ranked" and "unranked"
taking place, however CoD doesn't really lend it self to that, since we know
that TDM and DM will be gametypes.  No. There will be a server with it, just
what kind we don't know.  And Ryan isn't talking.so we have to wait...and
wait..and wait...hmmm hmmmm hmmmm

Bite your tongue!  NO WAY!

If they adopted the "WOW" model of MMORPG's, I won't even put it up
or buy the game. "WOW" may be pulling in $MIL's at first, but if you
notice after Matrix online, ALL newer MMORPG's have $0 monthly fee
and WOW is  OOOPS, losing market share big time.

If you are going to "charge to play", I expect your servers will be empty
and I am glad it is not my venture cap. in there.  Especially when so
many gaming resellers, like the ones on this list, put up large ones
for free, which aids in the sales of servers to gaming clans.

That is the COD model.  If it is like MMORPG, or like "EA" Registered
vs. "Unregistered"  it is dead already.  Join the BF2 list, and look
at what they are saying... ALL the non-registered servers are empty,
killing the COD type gaming model, and at about the same time BF2
has a add-on coming out that everyone is excited about...  "Yawn".

I need to know if the server will be on the COD2 cd. I did not see anything
at Activision. I know this sounds like a stupid question but I heard it was
not and Activision was following WOW's model. After they saw that WOW was
bringing in 15-17 mil. a month.
 
The Linux Bin. would help a lot. I want to launch a server asap, so I am
also looking for people to help setup and run a new gaming site, unlike
anything seen so far. 
This will be fully funded with deadlines and bosses...
Must know there way around the games and programing.
Thanks
