I jsut love angry PC gamers who have no clue if what's going on

[Vash]

That's what I heard as well... how is it possible to host servers? Just being forced to rent them from official providers for $$$$?

[Pricey]

Maybe groups within in TX should stick together playing these games and if their group goes well then they we can recommned a division

Nope

Infinity Ward will host teir own servers and use a matchmaking system, in which you schoose your prefered gametype and gamemode (hardcore and normal) and you'll be automaticly connected to the best server.
To play wars and scrims you can set up a private match in which youc an customize all the options yourself.

[Ironhide]

Do I understand that correct, and you can open own "rooms" on the InfinityWard servers?

It's not clear yet, but it's either going to be that or a peer to peer system, meaning your freinds will be connected with you and synchronized, so that there is no host advantage.

[Vash]

Well that sucks hard I guess.... what if they decide to close their server in two years? What if they run out of money and need to close? That's a poor system and I hardly prefer to host games on my own.

If they close the servers they will use the peer to peer system only. It is the very same technique they use on the console versions, and the servers for cod2 are still running today for the xbox 360.
Oh, and i don't think activision will close down or run out of money any time soon.

[Vash]

That still sucks.

[Ridley]

That still sucks.

Well the game itself is still the same, and i dont care how i'll be promted onto a server as long as the gameplay is good.

[Vash]

RepCom could also be alot better with a good working server system. But it's sucky and annoying and I see a similar problem coming. I don't think that this game will be able to be played as a 'professional' one.

Well you can still set up private matches for wars and scrims, that's no problem.
Oh and i don't think repcom would be better with another server system, because teh game itself sucks pretty hard.

[Vash]

Yes, but there is no central server possible. So one of the players always have a latency advantage. Great.

And in my oppinion, RepCom had alot potential getting a nice multiplayer game. There are just several things which fucked the game up. Sad thing.
