Not too keen on Infinity Ward’s announcement that dedicated servers won’t be supported by Modern Warfare 2? Well, you’re not the only one. But wait! Before you go back to boycotting the game as hard as you can, consider the following:

“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is actually the biggest investment Infinity Ward has ever made into the PC version of our games. It’s also the most feature-rich PC version we’ve ever made. IWNET takes the benefits of dedicated servers and allows them to be utilized and accessed by every player, out of the box, while removing the barrier to entry for players unaware of how to maintain a server on their own,” said Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling.

“With IWNET matchmaking, it takes all that into account for you. All you have to do is select the playlist (pre-set gametypes with custom rules) that fits the style of play you are in the mood for. When you do, it will automatically find you a game with the best performance, ping, and preferences based on your location and individual connection as well as matching you with players of your same SKILL.”

He also explained that aim-bots, wallhacks, and other species of cheater will be all but eradicated by Valve’s anti-cheat system.
