If you were boycotting it for the lack of servers. Then don't buy a copy.

IW/Activision haven't put in the effort to give people what they want, instead someone's had to hack the game just to get the command console and servers.

pc gamers all over the world suddenly started to cry, not if pain but in joy because after months of complaining they got what they wanted.

Success?
Forgive me for not knowing stuff like this, but won't others have to have the hack to use them?

Pretty much, although it isn't a dedicated server in technicality, be sure that everyone on there will be a hacker and will use hacks...

I'm quite surprised at this.

I wasn't expecting it to take a whole week, seriously.
What will be interesting to see will be the general uptake of it and whether it persuades IW (or Activision's money men) to re-intriduce true server support for the PC version. Otherwise we're going to have a two tier MW2 where clanners and hobbyists play one game (and presumably get banned from IW net for modding) whilst everyone else plays the matchmaking and suffers.

Some would probably prefer that segregation of the hardcore from the fun players, but not me, it just blocks people from getting the most out of their game. Which would be a real shame. Especially when so many players get sucked into gaming through their encounters with clan teams (the nice ones).

As an aside
Three cheers for the return of lean!
I love pc gaming.

Yeah, the problem is its still for a game that is base without dedicated servers, therefore IW will still come to the conclusion that gamers no longer want dedicated servers.

This makes me think: if someone/couple of people can this fast create dedicated servers, wouldn't IW be able to do it in a day or so? Instead they just said a big Fuck You to PC gamers who wanted them

Fuck yes.

In your face IW!


...I can't wait till they ban this and make themselves look like even bigger douchebags.
If that's possible.

Good for those who bought it, but I'm still not buying before IW implement it themselves...

Love it.

They say they're doing IWnet so that people can't hack/use mods, and in less than a week it's been shown that their system can be bypassed so easily.

They're starting to run out of excuse to show that this isn't just to make it so you have to buy their DLC/map packs in order to keep playing on the PC.

I'm not surprised at all. If people don't give PC gamers what they want, they'll get it themselves. They're very resourceful that way.

Unfortunatly, you were beaten to the punch and the Escapist already posted a News thread about this. Hell I can see it right now in the Latest content section.

No offense but the words 'no shit Sherlock' spring to mind. That was partly the problem with the lack of dedicated servers. Infinity Ward could've added servers, but just decided they wanted to be special and not bother.

So, can we find these servers in-game or do we need to hack too?

THEY TOOK OUT LEANING TOO!? WHY ARE THEY SO DESPERATE TO BRING THE PC VERSION DOWN TO THE CONSOLE'S LEVEL!?
