“Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling (aka fourzerotwo), in an interview with BashandSlash.com on October 17th , announced that one of the mainstays of PC multiplayer gaming, dedicated servers, won’t be in IW’s upcoming sequel to Call of Duty 4 . Instead, players will use the unknown ‘IW Net’ for matchmaking purposes. No dedicated servers means no player mods, no player maps, no organized competitive play, no clan servers, etc., and strips away what makes PC gaming different from console gaming. Many vocal gamers have canceled their pre-orders, and a petition to reverse this decision is already past 86,000 signatures.
... and so we continue our search for the next next big thing. Is this ^ the future/end of PC gaming :-(

I heard it is a rumor.
However I think it’s true.

Reading the 2 linked articles, I think it safe to assume that the rumors are correct. That is not to say they wont “re-think” prior to launch but I reckon it’s a long shot

Nah that means they created MW2 from the ground up for consoles and then done a cheap port job to the pc, hence no dedicated server support.

Consoles are horrid for clan support.
Just buy a PS3/Xbox and hook it up next to your PC…
