COD MW2 - No PB support and Dedicated Servers

[zanzabar]

So can someone really quickly summarize to someone who isnt completely fluent on why this would be a bad idea? just basically the benefits and downsides to a dedicated/non dedicated server and pb to vac? and what exactly they're supposed to be doing? i know im a noob

thanks!

so with no dedicated servers then u have to 1) hope that activishion has a large number of servers and somehow properly configures them (the default settings with cod4 and 5 were garbage and looked to be the 360 settings for rate and interp), or 2) u will have to host your game from your home computer, that means that to not lagg or have lagging people all on the server u need to be in chicago or dallas in a data center on the back bone and u have to have a server grade up and down link of dedicated 8Mb/s or larger, then to not have server lag need 2 cores with about 2 ghz and 1GB of ram that are not being used to play the game.

so with no dedicated it makes it imposable to play online with more than about 8 people, and imposable to have a competative match. and it also makes it so u cant have pubs as u would have to have some1 in there all the time playing and there would be no way to navigate to it without friending the person who made the server


if u have left for dead go and try to host a multi player match on your computer, it will have the same effect as this.
