Was referring to the master browser, not authentication :)

I think caching is already done. When your computer or just the game
crashes, even with the reboot time and the fact that the server disconnects
you, you can't enter again for at least 5 minutes, with the "CD-Key already
in use" message. Maybe some adjustmennt in the caching management, with
server sending more up-to-date information about players and their keys,
should be better.

But with activision pushing their crappy "Online Service", I don't expect
the online experience to become better than it was in cod4...

Also, if they stick with "server authentification", make the console become
a little quieter, as even with an empty server (mine was frequently free
before the blackout), it's easy to have a log that reaches about 700MB in
just 3weeks !! And of course no mods to encourage that...
