Infinity Ward responds on PC multiplay issues
Posted on Tuesday, 20 October 2009 by Speed, source: GameInformer
Infinity Ward's Jason West and Vince Zampella have decided to respond to the uproar regarding the fact that there won't be any dedicated servers for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
"We're just prioritizing the player experience above the modders and the tuners,"
"We thought maybe it would be cool if the fans could play the game,"
West goes even further by attacking people who rent dedicated servers to clans and stuff:"We thought maybe it would be cool if the fans could play the game,"
"It's a little dubious. Some of the people complaining are complaining with their pocketbook."
As I said in my original post, Infinity Ward is betting big on getting the casual gamer on board and if that is at the expense of the hardcore crowd... then so be it.West and Zampella hammer the point that hardcore PC players lose very little to this change relative to the returns that casual to moderate fans will see. Clans can set up private matches to do their training or what have you; all they lose is the ability to customize the game on a deeper level with mods and such. Infinity Ward sees the addition of solid matchmaking and community support like IW-run tournaments to the PC as a huge win, and not something that could be done under the old system.
Why not have both? West does not want to include dedicated servers alongside the custom-built backend, stating that it would just "bifurcate the community."
Meanwhile, a petition has been set up against the removal of dedicated servers and Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling has reacted with the following:Why not have both? West does not want to include dedicated servers alongside the custom-built backend, stating that it would just "bifurcate the community."
"[It] definitely made a big wave, and the response will not be ignored. I'll ensure everyone at IW sees the petitions and responses to it.”
It seems that it's going to be hard to not ignore "the community" while not wanting to change the part the petition and uproar is all about...In other news:

When I'm still enjoying COD UO and 4 online, where we can enjoy realism and tactical gaming on our own dedicated servers, in the case of UO, years after the game has lost public popularity, then that speaks volumes, and suggests that the so-called marketing planners and managers aren't quite mature enough to be earning their paypackets...
