OK, maybe it isn't 16 player max after all but no actual value, still keeping us all in the dark.

The information being quoted was an example and is not the official limit.

EDIT: Some more info from a PM sent to above IW representative

Question
I've been trying to determine if these are all listen servers run locally by one client or hosted on IW.Net. If the host drops, does the game end? Does IW.Net "test" the host to see if they have adequate system and/or bandwidth to handle the load? If peer-to-peer, is there some type of "load distribution" or is everything in the hands of the "host"? Thanks in advance if you can answer these questions.

Answer
Locally hosted, chosen by IWNet based on a number of criteria (ping, bandwidth, CPU, etc...) The game includes host migration for cases when the host leaves.


Number of 1-star review rises to 126 (Spore anyone?)

But that could mean the game ends and goes to lobby if host leaves. What if the host was the only one on the server that had an adequate connection??? Rage Quits.

I can't believe anyone is defending this junk. We should start flipping cars or something more productive than siding with the enemy.

Player hosted local servers? That's it? They're not even getting their own servers up? Why not just have dedicated servers? This doesn't make any sense. This is either a PR stunt to get attention, or they really are that god damn stupid.

No because IW did state and show that if a HOST leaves the game it will migrate to the next best host so they got that covered.

disregard for pc gaming isnt a new occurrence, but this move is unprecedented. we are talking about a MAJORLY successful gaming franchise being stripped of any reliable multiplayer dedicated servers. i simply cannot believe it.

Isn't it simply a matter of some small code being implemented to allow dedicated servers? I mean, I can't imagine it takes a significant amount of work to allow them.

I knew the SP was going to be short, but its probably going to be as awesome as the first.

The biggest problem im having is that it seems they're trying to rip everyone off. I mean it seems like there trying to give us as little as possible, yet still charge a premium $60 price for it. But they know at the end of the day they can do it, cause the game is hyped to infinity. So no matter what, its gonna sell. People can make all the petitions in the world, they could careless, cause they know when it comes down to it, its gonna have sales through the roof, whether or not you bought it.

Covered? Yes. Covered in shit.....

One host has Fios with a 15 players connected. 15 players have typical cable...... latency jumps to 600+ when the host leaves. You should get what we are talking about by now. BTW Just the action of switching hosts without using a dedicated server is enough to crash a client with 8 or more people easily.

Unless the development team is so good they rewrote the laws of networking while they were at it. Then I would be quite impressed and amazed. :laugh:

i wonder if it has something to do with a corporate policy where they want all games to be equal across platforms. im guessing they dont want to show favor toward consoles or pc gamers. maybe they think it is bad business. but clearly tens of thousands of people truly boycott the PC version then they will lose money over this policy.

nah it'll have the most pirated award and because people will DL it just to play the SP.
;)

xbox 360 version will have enormous sales.

then the next game they release will either have dedicated servers or it won't be on PC at all.

either way "we" lose...


i don't know, but if its a physx by nvidia game I'd boycott it for that alone. <-- sarcasm

Infinity Ward doesn't care. They know, they are going to have fantastic sales with or without the PC. Pirated or not is not going to cross their minds,its sales that matter and thats what they're going to get, you think they're going to lose any sleep over a few hundred thousand canceled preorders?, hells no.

All they're doing is putting everyone on the level of the consoles, yet the game is so mainstream that its not like it actually matters to them or the majority of the people buying the game.

When a company starts to not "care" about a "few" 100,000 of it's customers then anyone who buys from that company is a fucking fool.

That's the majority of the industry. You only see a select few that actually gives a damn about everyone besides themselves and how it pertains to their own wallets.

You just have to see that when a company has a huge upcoming hit such as MW2 the last thing they care about is appealing to certain people or platforms, its one game for all, if you don't like it don't look at it, because its really not going to be hurting there wallets if you or other pc gamers don't pick up the game.

Heh, they could be turning 100,000 buyers into 100,000 pirates and griefers. Pirate the game, play the game like an asshole so no one can enjoy it properly. Teamkilling people that support this company's decisions sounds kind of fun to me. I wouldn't bother wasting my time, but I can imagine those who would.

True, tho i think it would be hard to find anyone that actually supports what they're doing.
