Forums - PC - Modern Warfare 2 - No dedicated servers?

welshbloke on 21 October 2009

The answers I want which I have not seen yet.

LAN Support?

Is this P2P or are they using a server farm?

Can they support the volumes at peak times?


I think if they can answer yes to LAN support, Yes to server farms and volumes (server farms helps here) then I am a little futher down the line to easing of the hate throttle.

But... This will not help the server communities, it will not help the GSP's that you left dangling, it does not change the fact you dropped this on us just before launch.

From the above posts, it sounds like they are firmly grasping the concept of matchmaking that I so adore completely. Sucks for the people who don't like it.

This was known a while ago I think? There's an old video on youtube about the host migration:

So why not have both?

Indeed, why not? I like matchmaking sometimes, but most of the time I just like searching for my own servers.

That is a very good question.  Could have something to do with their networking framework.  Only IW knows the answer to that.

UT2004 pulled it off way back when, why can't they do it in 09?

I don't recall UT2004 having P2P matchmaking.

Do we know it is P2P though?
