i really dont get why dedicated servers are such a hard thing for them to implement into games all of a sudden. i mean, i could understand why they wouldn't want to put the resources into it if they were hosting the servers themselves, but isn't it just a program they need to make, cant really be that taxing since pretty much every game in the past has had it as a feature.

instead of trying to homogonize the two markets maybe they should just realise that they're not the same, and spend a little more time and effort reflecting that instead of cutting corners. it's a bit shit how the attitude seems to be that they would rather alienate people who want to play games on pc's than have to do more than port their games across from consoles.

if you wanna play a private match, someone has to host it off their connection. last time i played an online game like that was playing rainbow 6 rogue spear (what a great game btw)

I'd already decided not to buy it, didn't like MW's multiplayer as it was and the extremely high cost of the game was too much for another 'on rails' single player game, even though they are usually good ish.

It's beginning to look like Battlefield will be the only old skool PC FPS style series left. 1943 and BFBC2 will both still have a dedicated server it seems. Can't wait for Bad Company 2 to be honest.

Craig, theres still Valve/Source games, which are true to form FPS, although on a smaller scale than the BF franchise, although im starting to wonder if EA are going down the same route as Codemasters.

Badcompany for the console vs none for the PC.... hmm who's taking money on Badcompany 2 being another console port with only better gfx to seperate it from the consoles.

Scrap that, EA tweeted this about 2hours ago

"@Cyphe762 We are making a PC version, not a port. Gameplay & services will be done specific to the platform."

=D

Fair enough, I personally discount the source engine games though because I DETEST the netcode, it just feels wrong to me and always has, I shall stick the battlefield, even though it is laggy at times. FOr me, lag is better than utter bullshit.
