I think by now most PC community have heard or read about the news that Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 will not have dedicated servers and a few other things, we all would come to expect from a FPS title released in 2009. Hell we had most of that stuff in 2001, see my "An FPS Server guide for developers (http://www.fpsadmin.com/index.php?page=devguide)" I wrote back in 2007.
On Saturday's BashandSlash (http://bashandslash.com/) Infinity Ward's community manager joined us to discuss some of the PC features for their up and coming Call of Duty release, Modern Warfare 2.
I would also like to take a moment to say THANK YOU Rob Bowling for coming on the show and giving us some information regarding our platform of choice. Granted it was not the news we wanted to hear but that does not matter. All we wanted at that time was for someone to give us some information about the PC platform. For that I say again Thanks :salute: (next time come with some better news ;)). Now back on topic.
The podcast that was heard around the world: Bashandslash (http://bashandslash.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=746&Itemid=69): 123 pwnt!Rob Bowling, community manager at Infinity Ward was kind enough to join our panel on BASH today. He let us in on the news that IW was taking Modern Warfare in a new direction. The online game on PC has changed. Dedicated servers are out. IW.net is in.
This is a game changer and many of you may not be too happy. I for one will be willing to listen and try it out. It’s all I can do.
For the folks in our community that mod and map, the future does not look as bright as the past.
Thanks to Rob, PST*Joker from mycallofduty.com, Rudedog from fpsadmin.com, Garetjax from codtv.tv, Josh from Planetmedalofhonor.com, MatTks from @weplaycod (Twitter) and weplaycod.com, iBleedv20 at omnilinkit.com and the hordes in our chatroom and ventrilo.
Now that you're all caught up, I thought you would all like to see exactly what the current Call of Duty PC community looks like at the moment, when you make a buisness decision that is so far off the mark it's kind of funny (see the youtube video's at the end). Note that Modern Warfare will be released on the PC PS3 and Xbox360 on Nov 10th 2009.
Note that there are plenty of big named sites on this list, what IW should be paying very close attention to is all those smaller sites, where the members are much closer and they tend to stick together when deciding to purchase or in this case not purchase a new PC game.
Also note that this list has been sent to Activision but as of this writing we have not received a reply.
The list was generated by the members of our forums from all over the world, thanks guys and gals :salute:
Also as of this writing the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 petition (http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?dedis4mw) has reached over 78K signatures on it. in less then two days!
Anyone is more then welcome to use this post/list your own sites, please spread the word ** sorry if I mis-categorized your site(s) it's been a busy couple of days.

Official EA dice forums for Bad company 2
Their devs speak out to their community in regards to how they are handling their PC side of the game.
http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/b...l#post11677889 (http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-bad-company-2/838715-please-dont-let-happen-bc2.html#post11677889)
Note post #19 and I quote: Demize99 from Dice.
We feel it's important to support the unique community needs of the PC community. Dedicated servers are a big part of this, and we recognize that requirement. We're putting a server browser and matchmaking in 1943 PC and the same features are intended for BFBC2. We're working hard on the PC version with a dedicated team building and molding the game so it is not a console port. This team is lead by DICE developers responsible for Battlefield 2. Very experienced and hardcore PC gamers.

On Saturday's BashandSlash (http://bashandslash.com/) Infinity Ward's community manager joined us to discuss some of the PC features for their up and coming Call of Duty release, Modern Warfare 2.
I would also like to take a moment to say THANK YOU Rob Bowling for coming on the show and giving us some information regarding our platform of choice. Granted it was not the news we wanted to hear but that does not matter. All we wanted at that time was for someone to give us some information about the PC platform. For that I say again Thanks :salute: (next time come with some better news ;)). Now back on topic.
The podcast that was heard around the world: Bashandslash (http://bashandslash.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=746&Itemid=69): 123 pwnt!Rob Bowling, community manager at Infinity Ward was kind enough to join our panel on BASH today. He let us in on the news that IW was taking Modern Warfare in a new direction. The online game on PC has changed. Dedicated servers are out. IW.net is in.
This is a game changer and many of you may not be too happy. I for one will be willing to listen and try it out. It’s all I can do.
For the folks in our community that mod and map, the future does not look as bright as the past.
Thanks to Rob, PST*Joker from mycallofduty.com, Rudedog from fpsadmin.com, Garetjax from codtv.tv, Josh from Planetmedalofhonor.com, MatTks from @weplaycod (Twitter) and weplaycod.com, iBleedv20 at omnilinkit.com and the hordes in our chatroom and ventrilo.
Now that you're all caught up, I thought you would all like to see exactly what the current Call of Duty PC community looks like at the moment, when you make a buisness decision that is so far off the mark it's kind of funny (see the youtube video's at the end). Note that Modern Warfare will be released on the PC PS3 and Xbox360 on Nov 10th 2009.
Note that there are plenty of big named sites on this list, what IW should be paying very close attention to is all those smaller sites, where the members are much closer and they tend to stick together when deciding to purchase or in this case not purchase a new PC game.
Also note that this list has been sent to Activision but as of this writing we have not received a reply.
The list was generated by the members of our forums from all over the world, thanks guys and gals :salute:
Also as of this writing the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 petition (http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?dedis4mw) has reached over 78K signatures on it. in less then two days!
Anyone is more then welcome to use this post/list your own sites, please spread the word ** sorry if I mis-categorized your site(s) it's been a busy couple of days.

Official EA dice forums for Bad company 2
Their devs speak out to their community in regards to how they are handling their PC side of the game.

Note post #19 and I quote: Demize99 from Dice.
We feel it's important to support the unique community needs of the PC community. Dedicated servers are a big part of this, and we recognize that requirement. We're putting a server browser and matchmaking in 1943 PC and the same features are intended for BFBC2. We're working hard on the PC version with a dedicated team building and molding the game so it is not a console port. This team is lead by DICE developers responsible for Battlefield 2. Very experienced and hardcore PC gamers.
