Carmack on Rage: "We don't think we will have dedicated servers&qu


Recommended Posts

Problem is you get servers that "ban" certain weapons have have moderators on hand to prevent the usage of said weapon. Most of the COD5 servers I've been on ban rocket launchers. You also get servers that use the standard maps but with crazy user limits so it's a never ending spawn killing spree.

I can see how that would annoy the dev's as it means the game isn't being played the way they intended it to be played.

Really sucks tho, I tend to hang around one or two TF2 servers that have custom maps and a few user mods installed, I wouldn't have enjoyed the game anywhere near as much if I didn't have the option to do so.

I personally like the bigger servers. I like playing with about 25 people on free for all in cod4. In waw I liked playing with about 30-35. This will not be possible. I like to pick how I play and I wouldn't have ANY choices with mw2.

Yeah 9v9 is pitiful on the PC.

I would say even console games nowadays do 32, and 64 player servers, (MAG is 256 :laugh:) but those FPS games tend to be 30FPS. I can let MW2 away with 9v9 on a console due to it being 60FPS. On a PC though? It's just hilarious.

I am like you, I see the problem with different settings and mods on servers, but surly a simple filter system 'Better than now'. Valve tags system does work, but not all the time. Like you I have 2-6 servers that I play on that I know the maps and settings on.

The dedicated servers are really needed for big number servers, home internet and computers can not run server and game at same time with more than 10 people on. If they want to make the games multiple open to more people, then locking down hosting a server to your own computer means only people with 4Gb - 8Gb dual core and a 20Mb connection.

I am also not against match making, it can work and does work well, but give the option. No only match making. That's my point, I play borderlands and host a private server and public, its fine for 2 to 4 people, but any more and it won't work. I got lag on it now with me and other person. I have a 6.7mb MAX connection with 3mb average.
