I can access these servers with my Steam PC version right? This should increase replayability of the game for me by a LOT.

If the wonderful PC gaming community can also create custom single player maps or spec-ops.

Awesome. You can take the PC gaming out of the, uh, game but you, uh, can't... take the game out of ... PC gaming?

Not only that!!!! IWNet is already hacked. You can just download the full torrent of the game and then the MP hack and create a bogus steam account, then log in and play with people who bought the game!! hahahahahha

Whenever 'hackers' is used as a generic term, I am inclined to think that the writer doesn't understand how the internet works, and assumes hackers are possessors of dark magic reincarnated in the 21st century. Granted, in this case it is not so.

So true. Real hackers know that a "hacker" is a good thing, it's "crackers" that you have to be worried about.

Not all bad hackers are crackers though. There's the differentiation between the white hats and black hats...

That looks like the most fun anyone's had on Wasteland and Quarry.

I actually don't mind Wasteland.

Quarry, Derailed, and Estate are just awful. AWFUL... Estate is way too big for its own good, Derailed is just a fucking catastrophe, and Quarry is a quarry.

i love wasteland. WA2000 + thermal scope + FMJ = amazing. i love derail and estate too. great long range maps with short range capabilities. but agreed on the quarry hate. it looked like such a small map, and it's actually HUGE.

Oh, what's wrong with Derailed? I think it's a pretty fun map.

I can't think of one map in MW2 that I actually like. There's a few that are close (Favela, Highrise, Afghan), but most of them stink.

perhaps hackers created the contemporary PC gaming situation - lackluster PC titles and ports - but damn, they surely arent lying down in the 'graves' they dug.

long live community support.

From what i understand this isnt dedicated servers, this is on the iwnet servers. Se what happens when you take away peoples ability to kick players.

All these wonderful things and I can't invite friends to form a semi-cohesive team. Awesome work, fellas! Took a page from Treyarch even though you tried really hard not to.

Woopty freaking doo, as long as these hackers aren't fucking it up for the rest of us then they can fly and shoot unlimited grenades as they want as long as they don't do this shit in public servers.

actually you can do it in any public server

but everyone is able to do it not just the guy who has the console so if i enable infinite ammo everyone has it

"The biggest benefit of using IWnet by far is the fact that you don't have to worry about joining a server full of aim-bots, wallhacks, or cheaters," - Robert Bowling

The game wasn't balanced for Dedicated Servers!!

Personally, I am wondering what the next move from IW and Activision will be. You can believe that Valve will not let that hack that allows people to play pirated version on steam to last long. There probably will be a required patch that comes down quick to stop that. On the DS hack, I would like to know more information on how they achieved it. Port forwarding is one way but you would still need the necessary files in order to run a DS server. If IW did not provide those files, I highly doubt a hacker created the exes/DLL themselves. If the hackers just modified their PVP private game and go into the console to change the settings then this is not really a big issue.

you cant tweak a dedi server without a console so this is just a step if you actually go to the site with the files google it not sure if it can get me in shit

it states the it runs on the IWnet servers just like the videos you tube blurb states

but the ability to use the console means that we can customise the games to the settings that we wanted on dedis like S&D best of 4 point is lame what happened to best of 6-10 and the kills are worth half what they are in TDM now instead of 5 times

theres no incentive to play it

plus wheres my FF TDM oh theres 3 of my guys and 2 of theres lets just rain down a pred missle on them FF would make it more balanced out of the sheer necessity to stop being tubers for there kill streaks

I bet the "hackers" work at Infinity Ward and are now all like "See, see? We told you dedicated servers would be like totally bad and shit. All the cheating you see."

Meanwhile in reality ... "do want"

Looks way more fun than the real game. Props to the community for making the game better even if the publisher is opposed.

I think it's kinda funny that IW / Activision said "hey we're eliminating private servers to cut down on cheating and help us control the player experience and make it as smooth as possible."

and the Very First thing the "opposition" to that decision does is craft a server with an ability that completely breaks the game lol.

I mean we all know that IW / Activision really just wants to be able to sell DLC on the PC someday but on the surface it's still kinda funny.
