According to the latest
BASHandSlash recorded
webcast (skip to the 1hour, 39minute mark for MW2), a number of very
interesting bits of information have started to make their way onto the internet.
Robert Bowling has confirmed that the PC version of Call of Duty is essentially ruined as far as multiplayer and customization goes. Let's get a quick rundown here of what Bowling said on the webcast.
• IW has control of the game
• IWnet servers will host multiplayer
• DLC will be a charged item for PC
• No dedicated servers
• Matchmaking system used to play with similarly ranked players
• VAC instead of PB
• Semi-capable password servers
• Semi-capable ad-hoc servers
• Competitive play is dead
• MW2 mods would not be possible
• Full integration into Steam
Feel free to take it with a grain of salt. But if it's true, PC gamers just got more than a bit screwed over.
