yeah, it says "Multiplayer reinvented," then it goes on to outline crap that doesn't really relate to multiplayer ... it should have bullets underneath that heading with stuff like <br><br>*customizable spawn point protection, <br>
*larger and better maps, <br>*fully customizable dedicated linux server (windows version coming soon)<br>*updated mapping and mod tools<br>*optimized network protocol reducing data transfer requirements<br>*new virtualization mode that allows GSPs to deploy more instances on a single server<br>
<br><br>Now if it said THAT, holy cow this would be the biggest game ever (at least in my lifetime).<br><br>Why can't they see it?<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 25, 2009 at 5:56 AM, Christian Gerbrandt <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gerbra@gotadsl.co.uk">gerbra@gotadsl.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

i put up two servers myself.<br>in my opinion i dont think they would pull the plug on the masters-that would piss off alot of ppl and dont think the older cod's were written for matchmaking were they?</p><div><p class="MsoNormal">

<br>Agree; Nov 10 should be named the international COD Dedicated Server day ... EVERYONE should be in a Dedicated COD server playing for as long as possible on Nov 10. It's a Tuesday - which sucks. But it's the only way we can send the message. We're not buying this crap; we'll stick with our old games just because they have dedi's.<br>
<br>And all GSP's should send out a message to their customers to stream the news in their games / and or help configure the cvar message. And certainly not purchase MW2.<br><br>Then IW decides.<br><br><br><br></p></div>

<br> Knowing IW, they'll just blame this on the GSP's and<br> use it as fire as to why they need to get the<br> multiplayer model off the dedicated server platform.<br><br>
The sales stoppage is the more powerful pull. Nothing<br> is worse that spending tens of millions of dollars<br> growing a race horse just to watch it trip and break<br> its leg out of the gate in its first race.<br>
<br> On the contrary, if COD4 and other COD servers remain<br> going full speed with no dip in activity on release<br> day, that would prove that the dedicated platform is<br> more valuable to players. And it would dispel IW's<br>
claims as complete and utter myth.<br><br> I guarantee you that if they see a big fat goose egg<br> on release day, they'll announce plans to release a<br> dedicated server as soon as possible. Either that, or<br>
they'll just give up on PC at that point and speed<br> their transition to console.<br><br><br> We simply need to vote with our dollars.<br><br><br><br><br> On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 2:40 PM, Andy Baker</p>

Well, I have now pre-ordered CoD:MW2, just so that<br> I can cancel my<br> pre-order if IW doesn't change their stand on this<br> in the very near future.<br>
