Though Infinity Ward did away with dedicated server support in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 PC, the feature will return in Call of Duty: Black Ops PC this fall.

"Dedicated servers are excellent," Mark Lamia, head of Activision-owned Black Ops developer Treyarch, told magazine PC Zone as relayed by CVG. "I don't see any reason not to see them unless... well, I just don't see any reason not to."

Infinity Ward had previously explained that Modern Warfare 2 PC did not support dedicated servers as to make multiplayer more accessible, complete with a matchmaking feature "just like you have on the console" care of its IW Net backend.

However, Lamia notes that "We do work very hard to reconcile the desire to manipulate and modify those dedicated servers with offering them the persistent experience and benefits that the console system provides... We're working very hard to marry those two things, so people can run dedicated servers and also participate in the communal experience the console players get to have, given they're all on first-party servers."

Coming to PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii in addition to PC, Black Ops is due November 9.

...I hope the MP mode will have an impact lets say...we can fly down with parachutes

Just thinking, how would you guys think this game gonna affect the other COD title especially COD4 and MW2 since this two title is the most played title among other COD title in Malaysia..

Treyarch has probably the largest free DLC for the PC in COD WAW; about 4g I think

Do anyone here actually play cod4 for fun? Casual player?

Horrible in what sense? Behavior from other players? Latency issue?

Have you ever tried promod? Or stock mode is just your thing you were looking for? Killhouse is generally a unplayable map. I always skipped it unless I have p90, martydom, 3x frag and sonic bomb as one of my profile selection.

I think there is no need for activision to claim about. BO mp is clearly a step ahead of MW2 even if you don't try to bring up the dedi server issue. My only concern is the weird looking radio controlled mini car N yea, the SP demo at E3 bores me to near death
attacking campers in MW2 is a good challenge to your skill(though campers are darn annoying). However, I personally think tubing or rpging is a little harder in MW2

i hope this game is directX 10 or 11

yea hope its not dx10 or 11 so more people will be able to play

well most people think that if a game is dx 10 or 11 they assume it will run badly on their rig

As long as the game can host server (i.e cod4), good enough. We have generous people like BVPN or Narakka to host for the Asian gamers. But again, bare the lag la cause new game, everyone sure rush to play wan. I'm thinking of buying this game.

Well...As long as it has dedicated servers..We ppl dont need to face lagness now...I bet there will be competitive gaming for COD7...But I reali dont understand the new currency system...Make it look like Those MMOFPS games where u hav to earn money and Customize ur cHaracter...So sad...

Great game , waiting for it anxiously but are there people willing to host a local server here? I'm not gonna buy a game that can't play local servers

Edit : Eh , wait . I saw a few previous post and you guys said no local server hosting? True not? If so , i would just buy the MOH then.

Too bad , i was thinking to get it with MOH together.
But from what i see , MOH and COD also no hype . Unlike BC2 , even before beta there's people planning to host local servers.

Was thinking to get a decent FPS game to play during holidays.

So , what are we going to do?
How to play online if we were to buy? Only those far and high pings one.
