Infinity Ward’s Rob Bowling Explains How No Dedicated Server is Not Crazy

Once the internet got hold of news that there will not be any dedicated server for Infinity Ward’s ‘Modern Warfare 2’ for PC, fans storms out with petitions, raging across the internet, and of course the usual bashing of the company. Among the chaos, Infinity Ward’s Rob Bowling (aka fourzerotwo) tries to explain how no dedicated server is not such a bad idea to the angry mob and also tops it off by listing out the benefits of using their IWNet (just read some of the comments..ouch).

On his blog he talks about how every users can jump right into IWNet without players learning how to maintain a dedicated server on their own.

He also list out the positive side to this such as:

  • Matchmaking & Smoother Gameplay
  • Playlists and Private Matches
  • Party System and Friendslist
  • Cheat / Hack Free Games

Bowling added:

All in all, IWNET adds a load of new features that the PC version of our games have never had before and allows us an infrastructure to continue to update and improve on the game post-launch.

I wonder if this will settle the community down till the game launches on November 10th.
