Infinity Wards recent announcement that it will drop dedicated server on upcoming Modern Warfare 2 sparks a huge protests among PC users.
With no dedicated server feature, PC players can't play using private server thus preventing mods support, more probable lag issues, and unsatisfactory match making.
Robert Bowling, IW's community manager, tried to clarify the issue saying that Modern Warfare 2 is the biggest investment IW ever made to PC, and it won't throw players to random match making. In fact, playlists, the party system and friendslists will make playing with clans sessions "easier and hassle free."
The biggest benefit of all is anti cheat system. "The biggest benefit of using IWnet by far is the fact that you don't have to worry about joining a server full of aim-bots, wallhacks, or cheaters," Bowling writes. "Or relying on the server admin of the server to constantly be monitoring, banning, and policing it."
However, it still doesn't keep PC users satisfied. Up to date petition for IW to enable dedicated server reached 108.000 names.
