Very bad news for all PC clans!!!
https://twitter.com/JoshPeckler has confirmed that COD Black Ops will NOT have public Dedi files


What did we learn? Dedicated servers, sure. But you will only get them from Gameservers.com. Also, there will not be any public server files. Public files would allow you to run the game from your own server, you will have to rent them from Gameservers exclusively it seems. But ranked or unranked servers will be available from this (trusted GSP) provider. Talking about monopoly position
The game will be distributed exclusively through Steam and that means VAC - not Punk Buster. VAC does not have the same anti-cheat savvy that PB has, so we will need to monitor the resilience of VAC to counter the hackers out there.
I think that this is very bad news and very disappointing to all PC clans.
Here are all the tweets Josh has posted thus far!
- There is an improved server browser on the pc for codblackops
- Matchmaking on the pc is just letting the game pick a server in codblackops
- There will be a Spectator mode in codblackops on the pc
- These are all from my interview with @pcdev
- There are no public server files... @tgn is full of it...
- The pc sku will have "/record" and the theatre mode
- codblackops will be a steam exclusive game using VAC
- Unranked servers will be fully customisable! Ranked I think you can customise the map/gametypes!
- Let's do this! First off dedis will be rented from GameServers only! Unranked and ranked! Fully customisable!
