IW = open mouth insert foot.

Here is a quote from IW on why they don't have dedicated server

"Cheat / Hack Free Games: The biggest benefit of using IWnet by far is the fact that you don't have to worry about joining a server full of aim-bots, wallhacks, or cheaters. Or relying on the server admin of the server to constantly be monitoring, banning, and policing it. Modern Warfare 2 on PC allows us to control the quality of the game much more than ever before as well as utilizing the VAC (Valve-Anti-Cheat) system to keep games clean of hackers and cheaters."

Here's in game video

The problem with VAC is it does delayed bannings (think microsoft banning 360's) so those with hacks get away with it for a week or two and then VAC comes in and does a big ban wave. They say they do it so that hackers dont know which program is actually causing bans.

All this does is confirm that IW will probably skip a PC version altogether next time :/

Pc hackers are contributing quite a bit to PC gaming decline, imo.

Hacking is a cross platform issue. Not just PC.

Here's a new link for the video http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/27045

like we didn't see this coming.. IW are being suck morons this time around.

I wanta see the video though, so if anyone gets a new working link. Post it.

Just posted a working link.. It doesn't work in FF for me so I had to view in IE.

Did you see the comment in the video though?

It was something like (sorry I saw the video hours ago) "Crap man that guys hacking, someone get an admin...oh wait, ok someone start a kickvote please....oh ****"

Yeah this is exactly what I knew would happen. No dedicated servers (which means no mods and no admins) + no vote kicking + VAC = hacker hell. I actually hope hacking becomes rampant on MW2 because IW deserves it.

MW2 = most overhyped game of 2009. It truly is the new Halo, if you know what I mean. :p

Stupid console gamers... you've damned us all! :D

No, really, I am not too happy about the consoles. How can you be in favor of 9v9 multiplayer when you could have had 32v32!? Only a console gamer would willingly accept something like that.

I am going to go play Dragon Age now. **** Infinity Ward.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.
