    Dedicated Servers Announced for Modern Warfare 2

    After months of waiting and countless petitions, both Activision and Infinity Ward have lifted the lid on dedicated servers that are on the way to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. While it can't be said that the IW.net service was a massive failure, the complaints of rubber banding, host migration, game lobby issues, and countless other issues finally pushed Activision to give in to the players' requests.

    "We have not been ignoring your complaints," Community Manager Robert Bowling made in a press release. "We have actually had dedicated servers ready to be released since last November at the game's launch."

    "The goal of IW.net was to provide a safe, reliable gaming environment that provided a smooth and cheat free environment. We would like to take this opportunity to apologize to everyone for failing to deliver on any of these goals."


    A recent Tweet by 402, Robert Bowling, shed a bit more light on just when we could expect these dedicated servers to be released. However, in typical PR fashion a straightforward answer was not given, only a cryptic binary code was provided: 010000010111000001110010011010010110110000100000
    011001100110111101101111011011000111001100100001.

    We'll have more on this story as it develops!

      Obvious April Fool is obvious. Didn't even have to translate the binary.

      Edit: I must give credit where credit is due; this was a pretty good idea for a joke.

                  LMFAO dedi servers were ready back in November. Are they trying to alienate the few peeps who actually brought MW2 for the pc along with everyone else who didn't?

                  As an april fools joke, its poor taste at the very least.

                      I'm pretty sure the joke came from TGN, not IW.

                          Cruel only because you cry inside when you realize how much of an EPIC Fail that MW2 was. It's an over the top 15 Foot Knife Lunging Spray and pray game. Take it as it is.

                            Hah, pretty good April fools! Lol I'm just messing. Pasadena, huh? I know Pasadena like the back of my hand, from Space Center to Allen Genoa and still make frequent visits back to eat the best food around. There are a few taquerias over there that just can't be beat.
