Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Will Not Have Dedicated Servers

[Klaw117]

Kotaku have been reporting more leaked Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 information, shedding more light on Modern Warfare 3′s multiplayer mode. As well as new kill streaks and individual perks, there will also be a series of team perks that will confer bonuses to every member of a side.

There’s some bad news, however. Kotaku say that “this latest Call of Duty still won’t support dedicated servers, instead relying on the hosted servers found in previous iterations of the game.” For an overview of why this is a problem, check out this analysis of host advantage in previous Call of Duty titles.

Well, it looks like I'll be spending my money on Battlefield 3 this fall. I just hope some hackers will make a version of alterIWnet for MW3.

There will also be a monthly subscription service as well for more features and maps.

Thanks for the link. Shows nicely what lag does regardless. Played WoW for 4 years and mostly in different raid guilds. My toons could be better geared than others in the raid, I do my homework re dps rotations etc and still or rarely equal dps with them.
I always figured something went missing as what I was seeing wasn't being registered someplace and the video sort of verifies what I was thinking.
cheers

PS. and lack of dedicated servers meant I didn't buy MW2 and considering now they want you sub I think that there is a snowballs chance in hell that I will buy MW3. BC3 ty I can wait.

Lol .. $60 for more of the same and an "optional" subscription as well! I won't be surprised if they chop off stuff from the core game and demand you pay for it with the subscription!
