No matter how long it takes to find servers, it's definitely better than getting host migration in the middle of the game or 2-3 hackers in each game where they totally ruin the game. Or worse, stuck with a bad host after migration or you couldnt migrate and get kick out. Host migration spoils the pacing. There is something called favourites,if you like this server,bookmark it and play there often.

I rarely see the same chap again and again in the dedicated server system. Besides,playing any game initially will you owned by other people. Practise more and you'll own them. If not,find some friends that is good and play together. Better than depending on totally random folks where some of them are just there to ruin your game with hacks.

Besides, MW2's matchmaking only have like 6 players a side for most game types,whats the fun in that? The battlefield feels empty on some bigger maps and it feels like a wild goose chase than a war if everyone decides to camp. It's called Modern Warfare for a reason. I would take 12 vs 12 to 32 vs 32 anytime on other games.

The only problem with BFBC2's server browser is it finds every single server out there which is annoying. Cant they have region?

I enjoyed MW2 during the free weekend,but comparing the experience i had in BFBC2 or any other dedicated server based FPS,i enjoyed more in those games. The matchmaking system is good,as it finds games quite fast. Host Migration does things quite fast too,even it does kill the pacing of the game a bit but the problem is,there is no PB or admin to monitor the game where hackers are everywhere.

I dont mind getting owned by good players,as they are the best people to learn from,but i do mind getting own by a hacker.

About SP, most people cant be bothered with it as MP is where the fun is.

Since you already have CODMW2 on both PC and PS3.

Time to get CODMW1 for PC. You can find a copy in Garage sale on the cheap.
