They are good because they eliminate host advantage and the horrendous lag usually associated with client hosting :)

theoretically yeah, but have you played bad company 2 lately? their be rubber banding like it's a new hip hop trend... rarely have that issue with CoD, and when i do it usually due to my connection or IWNET realizes it and switches up the host.

That's not a dedicated server issue, that's DICE being incompetent with the server files.

You forgot:

- **** weak hit reg

- Rampant cheating

- Bullets that can take 90 degree turns and chase you round ****ING CORNERS.

dedicated servers are only good if you can make your own servers and have COMPLETE control of them yourself. the way Dice/EA did it with battlefield is a tease at best, you pay for a server that in reality you don't have to much control at all...

Dedicated servers files has been leaked. You can host your own server for free now, if you so wish.

And some of the admin tools out there, are pretty slick with the options: http://www.bc2cc.com/

Ahaha. I think it's more like Wanted :).

The dedicated servers in BC2 are definitely a massive improvement over that slap in the face that IW gave us, but I'm still yearning for the kind of dedicated server control that older games have. It's funny, in a pre-MW2 world, these locked down dedicated servers would have made us all raise an eyebrow, but in a post-MW2 world, I'm just thankful that the game has dedicated servers at all.

That's game mechanics nothing to do with dedis though. :)

The bendy bullets is a known phenomenon in MW2. From how I understand it caused by aggressive lag compo since there is no dedicated host. :(

Thought I would jump back in tonight. Glad to see the rubber banding & lagging issue is now all but fixed. However the hitboxes are still lol worthy. Once you learn how to exploit them there is no stopping you. I have no problem in make the game more noob friendly. But sometimes DiCE forget that some people already have very good aim. And once you increase the hitboxes, the scales tip in my favour. One round I was up front, and defence, and just slaughtering as they came though. I ended up with something like 20/1 without even trying.

Wasn't before long I was being called a cheater :rofl:

Are you sure it's not just that your shots are actually being detected more accurately now? From my experience hardly anything changed with the hit boxes. It's hard to say exactly how it's working though so who knows.

And rediscovered how wonderful c4 is now against mcoms. You get 50 points per c4 on an mcom now and 250 for destroying one. The last few games I played I was baiting players to the mcoms loaded with c4 and getting around 500-700 points easily.

Nice :laugh:

The game as been getting on my nerves far too much lately, so I've pretty much given up on it. I used to really enjoy it though...:(

Without sounding like an arrogant ****, my aim was pretty good before. And 99% of all my shots were registered no problem. Had no problem in taking down scores of enemies, and head shots were the norm. But maybe you are right, maybe my shots are being detected more accurately.
From my experience hardly anything changed with the hit boxes. It's hard to say exactly how it's working though so who knows.
I did some minor testing. And for me at least, the hit boxes have changed. They are HUGE! Now I am hardly aiming for the head (well naturally I do) but now I just tend to aim for the general head area (once aiming for the left hip. I got a head shot. Same with just above right shoulder), instead of pixel perfect. Again, I could well be proven wrong. But to me the game shoots different from before.
And rediscovered how wonderful c4 is now. You get 50 points per c4 on an mcom now and 250 for destroying one. The last few games I played I was baiting players to the mcoms loaded with c4 and getting like 500-700 points easily.
C4 does indeed rock (Y)

if i had one wish, it would be for them to revert the game back to the form it was when it was released... because honestly since then, it's been all downhill.

The game's multiplayer was damn near perfect when it first came out...
