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.

    • Call of Duty: Vanguard, EA Sports FC 26, and more come to Xbox Game Pass by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft is in the process of making some big changes to Xbox Game Studios right now, which might include studio shutdowns, but Game Pass drops aren't pausing for that. The second wave of June was just announced, unveiling another Call of Duty addition, the latest soccer game from EA, an indie road trip hit from last year, and more. While Microsoft said it won't put Call of Duty titles on Game Pass on the day of launch anymore, older titles keep landing, with the latest one being 2021's Call of Duty: Vanguard. Here are all the games that were announced today for Xbox Game Pass, their platforms, and arrival dates: Junkster (Cloud, XBOX Series X|S, Handheld, and PC) – June 16 Call of Duty: Vanguard (Cloud, Console, and PC) – June 17 EA Sports FC 26 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – June 18 Abyssus (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – June 25 RV There Yet? (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – June 30 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – July 2 Winds of Arcana: Ruination (Cloud, Console, Handheld, and PC) – July 6 From the bunch, Junkster is the sole day-one drop into Game Pass libraries of this selection. As new games arrive, eight will be leaving the Game Pass programs on June 30. Here's the full list of leaving titles: Mecha Break (Cloud, Console, and PC) Payday 2 (Console) Rise of Tomb Raider (Cloud, Console, and PC) Tomb Raider (Cloud, Console, and PC) Slay the Spire (Cloud, Console, and PC) Ultimate Chicken Horse (Cloud, Console, and PC) Volcano Princess (Cloud, Console, and PC) Unpacking (Cloud, Console, and PC) With June drops finished, Microsoft should have a new Game Pass announcement in about two weeks to reveal the first wave of games coming to subscribers in July. Already confirmed games for the month include the Halo: Campaign Evolved remake, Corsair Cove, SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed, and Mistfall Hunter.
