[cod] Sorry have to vent, Modern Warfare 2 on the PC

[Steven Hartland]

The IW forms have gone mad about this, and rightly so.

I hope they realise what a huge mistake no dedicated server is and fix it BEFORE release.

Delay the game if they have to, but release without a dedicated server and as rightly mentioned on that cast, they should rename it to Airborne 2 as its going to fail just as badly.

Do they really not realise that you need a dedicated server to ensure good performance, I mean seriously?

Yer play around with noddy console like match making systems which never work as well as the standard server browser, if you have to, but FTLOG do so with a dedicated server backing it up; so at least people don't suffer because of crappy hosts and lack of bandwidth. Its not like a PC release can even guarantee the CPU performance of a host, like consoles can due to their standardisation.

    Regards
    Steve
