NOW,
this has been posted here
http://community.callofduty.com/thread/4682
and its already circulating the interwebz.

MW3 will have dedicated servers but they will be UNRANKED
meaning, if you want to play ranked games it will have to be through the shitty p2p system that was present in MW2.

Mr. Bowling mislead the media and the fans.

I just hope that we have some honest news editors(VG and other sites) who will give him a proper baklash for that
really, such a sad sad PR trick

I was planning on getting this at the end of this year, oh well
money saved for Batman:AC then !

I'm not seeing why this matters.

He didn't lie, you know? He just didn't tell the whole truth.

Well that's me definitely not getting MW3 then. I was thinking I'd maybe get it on a sale or something but no chance now.

Game is still not out. I'm not sure that they are going to do this.

If ranked stuff is only going to be P2P system, than it's, well, shit.

@G1GA, Unless they have sorted their piece of shit match making out then this is a very bad thing. There matchmaking system is like trying to get an internet connection through a piece of string wrapped in shit.

That's fair enough, but why's it so important to play ranked matches?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but surely the only difference is that your rank/stats are universal, rather than being server specific?

If you play on a private server, you still rank up. You just do it seperately from everyone else who isn't on your server.

(If true) I think this is primarily supposed to stop people from setting up ranked private servers where one shot from your weapon gives you enough points to reach the top rank.

In other words... 'cheats'.

I don't know if that's how it works, but you seriously think ranking up only on that server (i.e. have to start over again if you play on a different one) would be okay?

Dedicated servers are the fairest way to play multiplayer games as long as the ping tolerance is low enough for everyone to be more or less equivalent.

By disallowing dedicated servers to be ranked you're creating a paradigm where the p2p ranked servers will have host advantage while dedicated servers will be fairer and a better all-round experience, but you will gain nothing from playing on them as standard.

There should be no issue with dedicated ranked servers as long as they comply with ranked standards/rules and the anti-cheat systems are in place.

@PC Trolls, are you fucking serious?

@G1GA, ever played MW2? You could still set up a server with 1hit max xp. The bad thing was you never found out until someone did the first kill.

to be honest I expected a much harsher reaction
I guess this was posted to the wrong crowd...

and I also guess that having to not tell the truth and WILLINGLY say dedicated servers KNOWING everyone is going to expect to get their NORMAL dedicated servers just like EVERY OTHER FUCKIN GAME(ranked via a GSP)

Fuck you Mr. Bowling I will say it here just like I said it to you on twitter, fuck your shitty useless PR, fuck your company's policy to mislead PC gamers.

its a really sad that when he said touted dedis every outlet reported it but not now

@YoungZero The absence of the truth is still a lie.

Really I think the hysteria surrounding antiquated technologies like server browsers makes PC gamers look dumber than anything else.

Personally I like the opportunity to jump into a perfectly normal game at the touch of a button.

@DSB "Instant Action" or "Quick Match" or whatever you want to call it has been around since before internet-enabled consoles existed. I distinctly remember being able to join a game of Counter-Strike 1.5 (circa ~2000) with a single click, which was an option available alongside browsing servers. I have no problem with it being offered for people that want to do that, but is in no way a replacement for the freedom of choosing your own server to join based on your own set of parameters (beyond acceptable ping and slots available).

By the by, Battlefield games have also had a quick join button, despite being based on dedicated servers. IW.net is a piss-poor attempt at controlling online play that forces people into using peer-to-peer hosting, which is far, far inferior to the experience offered by stable servers with high-speed connections.

@DSB...Is that with, or without the four or five different logins you've had to enter, before you're able to enter the game at the touch of a button. I've been installing the GTAs today, and it really made clear the changes, because all's fine enough till you hit IV. Then it's a damn pain in the ass. NOT earlier games that are decades old in some cases, those do run easy, and right away. What kind of improvement's that?
