Re: Bad Company 2 Developer hints at Dedicated Servers

Well, at last the **** dont come up to their heads like IW.
Think I going to BC2, even It's going to be ****ING heavy to run.

Ehh probably not. If it can be played on an Xbox 360, it can't be too hard to run on a PC, even with console optimization.

Dice is awesome here, not only is IW losing value among Pc users their actually losing respect among the development community as well. I love it.

We feel it's important to support the unique community needs of the PC community. Dedicated servers are a big part of this, and we recognize that requirement. We're putting a server browser and matchmaking in 1943 PC and the same features are intended for BFBC2. We're working hard on the PC version with a dedicated team building and molding the game so it is not a console port. This team is lead by DICE developers responsible for Battlefield 2. Very experienced and hardcore PC gamers.

Well if IW continuee on this path then my clan will boycott MW2. We have a heavily modded COD 4 server and ran a modded COD 5 server as well but lack of a decicated server will kill off any modding and half the fun of the game

Yep, reassuring news. The IW decision was shocking. I still can't figure why they would cripple the multiplayer community in such a fashion when it was such a staple part of their previous games MOHAA & COD 1,2,4.

How can P2P be superior to dedicated servers? They've got their innovation mixed up. Consoles should be getting dedicated servers, not PCs losing it.

If IW intended improve newbie uptake they should have utilized both the server browser and matchmaking. Just as BF2 does albeit more intelligently.

That has to be the best news out of the gaming industry that I've heard in a long time...

This is encouraging, as was the BF2 1.5 patch.

However don't forget that they still left us PC gamers out in the cold for BC1. That being said, it sounds like BC1 would have been a dissapointment to PC gamers anyways given what we're used to, which is probably why they didn't release it on PC.

I was the world's biggest DICE fanboy after BF1942. I felt let down with BFV, BF2 and BF2142. If BF1943 and BFBC2 are stable and fun to play, they will win me back. I hope the games look realistic but have fun, fast-paced gameplay, condusive to great Friday night fragfests with my buddies. Not having dedicated server support would have killed that - a server is a gaming team's home, it's where you know you can always meet, hang out and do your thing.
