tell me please, what we would do when they shut down the central servers<br>
for all cod games versions and all dedi&#39;s will be useless, what then,<br>
should I go to work in gross market or what?<br>
<br>
<br>
Kjell Munkestam pisze:<br>
&gt; I strongly agree.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Shutting down servers is really just giving IW a another argument for<br>
&gt; introducing IW-NET.<br>

&gt; Agree; Nov 10 should be named the international COD Dedicated Server<br>
&gt; day ... EVERYONE should be in a Dedicated COD server playing for as<br>
&gt; long as possible on Nov 10.  It&#39;s a Tuesday - which sucks.  But it&#39;s<br>
&gt; the only way we can send the message.  We&#39;re not buying this crap;<br>
&gt; we&#39;ll stick with our old games just because they have dedi&#39;s.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; And all GSP&#39;s should send out a message to their customers to stream<br>
&gt; the news in their games / and or help configure the cvar message.  And<br>
&gt; certainly not purchase MW2.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Then IW decides.<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt;                 Shouldn&#39;t this be done before 11/10?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                 Knowing IW, they&#39;ll just blame this on the GSP&#39;s and<br>
&gt;                 use it as fire as to why they need to get the<br>
&gt;                 multiplayer model off the dedicated server platform.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                 The sales stoppage is the more powerful pull.  Nothing<br>
&gt;                 is worse that spending tens of millions of dollars<br>
&gt;                 growing a race horse just to watch it trip and break<br>
&gt;                 its leg out of the gate in its first race.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                 On the contrary, if COD4 and other COD servers remain<br>
&gt;                 going full speed with no dip in activity on release<br>
&gt;                 day, that would prove that the dedicated platform is<br>
&gt;                 more valuable to players.  And it would dispel IW&#39;s<br>
&gt;                 claims as complete and utter myth.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                 I guarantee you that if they see a big fat goose egg<br>
&gt;                 on release day, they&#39;ll announce plans to release a<br>
&gt;                 dedicated server as soon as possible.  Either that, or<br>
&gt;                 they&#39;ll just give up on PC at that point and speed<br>
&gt;                 their transition to console.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                 We simply need to vote with our dollars.<br>
