CoD: Black Ops get Dedicated servers

DrPepper · Sep 14, 2010

Short Version

It seems Black Ops is getting dedicated servers but only if it is through GameServers.com to prevent cheating and hacks.

Really Long Version

One of the big complaints against Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is that it does not allow players to run their own dedicated servers. The complaints appear to have been heard by Treyarch, who is working on Call of Duty: Black Ops – but the solution may not please everyone.

Activision and Treyarch studios have come to an agreement with GameServers.com, making it the exclusive dedicated server provider. This means that anyone can make a dedicated server for Black Ops, as long as it is with GameServers.com.

Ranked servers with an 18 player limit run at $14.95 per month, while unranked servers will cost $0.99 per player spot up to a maximum of 24 players at a time.

Outside of the rented servers from GameServers.com, Treyarch will also be running its own fleet of dedicated servers.

"If players want to run a dedicated Ranked or Unranked server on the PC, they will have to rent one through GameServers," Olin told IGN. "Treyarch will be providing a fleet of 'Day-1 Servers' (through GameServers) which will be up and operational on November 9th.

"Nobody will have to rent a dedicated server through GameServers in order to play the game," says Olin. "But for anybody who wants to run their own server, it will be run from GameServers.com."

Olin added that this partnership adds the advantage of much more effective anti-cheating and hacking moderation.

"If you rent a server, you will still have the ability to Kick, Ban, and Configure it the way you see fit," Olin added. "Of course Ranked servers will have some set configurations that can't be messed with; but you will still have the power to administrate your servers as a customer of GameServers."

The only good anti-cheat is spectating, demo recording and good admins. Thankfully, unlike MW2 and BC2, BO is going to have spectator slots and a demo recorder.

As for gameservers.com they are a low budget host and the CPU allocation and bandwidth reflects their pricing.

Nice idea but nobody wants to waste the time in haunting cheaters, clan admins too !

Well, its something that we did with COD4, and WILL do with BO. Its the best way atm. Having responsible server admins spectating player, setting bait, and watchign cheaters / hackers fall prey, then reporting them to Treyarch and getting them banned.

So, yes, even thought i would love to play the game constantly, i am expecting to have to stop playing a lot...

There are players willing to spend a little of their time investigating possible cheats. Unfortunately most players will make baseless accusations and many server admins will do the same, but there are a few players who have had proper anti-cheat training from working as gaming league admins or simply many years of experience.

At any rate spectate and demo record are essential components for anti-cheat and competitive gaming. MW2 and BC2 didn't have those features because of how consolized they are, BO will have them. That's a good thing for everyone and a step back from the downward trend FPS's on PC have been in.
