[cod] No bins for Cod: Black Ops

[Andrej Parovel]

  Yes they will have to ensure a lot of servers to serve the request of 
all gamers. I don't think it will works well, but these is Activision. I 
hope they will somehow make a non official version of dedicated servers, 
so every one could host a dedicated server. Probably it won't be a honor 
server but at least gamers can play as they wish and also can host their 
server on nearby locations.

But at least, because of all these sux decision, I hope there will not a 
lot of players moving on Black Ops. So Call of Duty 2 and Call of Duty 4 
will keep alive and intense as it is now.
