Yup :D

Yup. You read that right. Modern Warfare 2 PC now has dedicated servers.

Wait, PC gamers! Before you send Bobby Kotick a thank you letter, know that it wasn't they who did it, but rather the gamers who took Infinity Ward and Activition's attempts to lock down the game as a challenge. And bring it those gamers did, managing to hack in the developer console and enable the ability to set up dedicated servers. Keep in mind, the game hasn't even been out a week.

Perhaps some of the boycotters caught playing the game were not being hypocrites, but rather hard at work turning the highest-profile shafting of PC gamers right around, as the video below might demonstrate.

Of course, the darker side to all this newfound freedom is the ability to use it to cheat, and the servers that have been set up so far are all "ranked" and still considered "legal" by IWNet, Modern Warfare 2's console-esque matchmaking service.

Folks who like their games in "vanilla" flavor only shouldn't despair though. After all, MW2 uses anti-cheating tech from Valve, who, if nothing else, are very, very aware of what PC gamers can do, and how to deal with them.

That said, it's just a matter of time until they the first thing they did was mod it so that you can lean again.

WHOOP WHOOP!!!!! dude you know what this means :eek: IWnet will be no longer YYYAAAYYYY finally our fellow gamers/hackers out there were able to do what most of us cant :D im soooo excited now.....

oh sh!t i think i just wet myself.... :o :p




oh and this is the greatest find so far thanks Bello
 
I will reserve judgement until such time as IW or them has made some sort of statement. Just now they block your steam account or something.
 
I guess there is a good chance that could happen Omega considering it is through steam after all.

I just wonder if SGS and iGame would be prepared to host "hacked" servers? I doubt it.

So we would be shit outta luck anyway.
 
Im thinking the samething. Which is why i will wait patiently to hear what IW's stance on this is before jumping on the Server train.

Yeah, maybe they will give in and just patch it.

BUT I have to be very honest here, I don't have a problem with Iwnet, I actually find it works ok.

I never have an issue joining a game and if host migrates or whatever, I just hope to the next game, quick and easy.

Where as with COD4 for example, normally I end up waiting 10 - 15 minutes to get onto the servers I like playing because most of the time they are full.

I must say i have never had a problem getting onto servers with COD 4 I love playing on SGS however there is one server that keeps kicking and its saying PB NVR 25000 or something like that.... i just change servers...
 
I sometimes cant connect to a game give me weird errors. trying differnt ping times and such. Pretty frustrating but otherwise im also reasonably happy with IWnet.

That is weird man, I never have any issues, the only 'errors' I get is server full or Migrating host.
 
sometime this year or early next year me thinks. then we'll see the stuff coming in.

honestly though with some refinement IWnet will be good ADDITION to normal dedi servers.

Now for the real question, when are the local servers going up?

It won't since its hacked meaning illegal to host it.

To think IW could have delayed it by another week put lean in and Dedicated servers support :rolleyes:

Then would have gotten 3 copies but p2p is crap!
 
I have my doubts IW will put in the dedicated server model for PC gamers. MW2 for PC only accounts for 12% of all their sales to date. We are a minority :(
 
I doubt that we will see dedicated servers just because someone hacked the game, its more likely that they will bring out a patch to stop the "loophole" in the system.

The hackers did it once. They will do it again after IW "fixes" the loophole.
