| Squilliam said: What I don't understand is why the hardcore uberwhiner minority get to bend the developers to their ear whilst the more casual players who just want a simplified experience don't get heard? Im willing to bet that the number whom actually know/care what a dedicated server is number at 1 in 20 or there abouts. Whilst im also willing to bet that the number of people who would appreciate simplified matchmaking getting them into the game faster/easier would be about 1 in 3 or more. Most people don't have clans and or more than 8 friends who will want to play the game with them at the same time, 95%+ territory here. I don't particularly care about what the small minority of people who would play this game want. They have a metric ton of games they can play which cater to their needs, however there aren't nearly as many people who play casually who can get a game like this which caters to their needs in a simplified fashion. When it comes to multiplayer im about as casual as you can get. I just want to be paired with people who are around my (low) skill level in these games. I can't get that from a server list and therefore I can get the experience I want from MW2 but not from MW1 (which is still around I might add for those who want those features to play). I don't know why in particular they can't have both dedicated servers and P2P and there probably is good reason or are people really that asinine about what IW expected from the community in terms of backlash? Since they knew it was coming then they must have some fairly good justification for doing what they're doing even if they don't tell you the full reason.

I don't have a clan, or more then 1 person that plays FPS games with me. Going away from servers really doesn't simplfy anything.
All it does is make things worse.
You click on a server that has the gametype you want rather then click what gametype you want. It's quite the same.
Unless you join a private server or click on something that says it's spefically for pros you aren't going to run into a problem skill level wise on a dedicated server.
I actually find it harder to get a "fair" game on matchmaking servers because people kept seeming to restart their accounts for idiotic reasons.
