No more dedicated servers anymore. Which means you cannot be the host.
And this is where you go tell Activision/Infinity Ward...
UP YOURS!
But wait, you purchased MW2 already. To late for you. So anyhow, the only way to connect on PC is to use IW.net for your server needs. Good luck with that.
wait a minute. are you trying to tell me that this game doesn't have a multiplayer screen that you can scroll through a list of servers to click on and play? -- I've come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass and i'm all outta bubblegum.
are they idiots? why would a company release a game with a multiplayer config like that? seems like the game design team took a step back in technology rather than keeping with the status quo. did they save some enormous amount of cash by not programming in the common multiplayer config of the current FPS scene? what specific individual made this decision and convinced everyone else this would fly in the market place? i was thinking of buying this game but not now.
FPS minus dedicated servers = stupid implementation of multiplayer -- I've come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass and i'm all outta bubblegum.
