FourZeroTwo, IW's community manager, frequents the micro-blogging site and responded quickly.

TriggerPappy, the one who messaged FourZeroTwo for an answer, asked him if he had seen the petition signed by over 70,000 PC gamers and what his response to the chaos was. Unfortunately, FourZeroTwo kept his response short (partially due to the Twitter restrictions), and stated simply:

"fourzerotwo: Definitely made a big wave, and the response will not be ignored. I'll ensure everyone at IW sees the petitions and responses to it."

Maybe a compromise can be met where gamers get the dedicated servers they want. We will keep you updated.

Sorry if it has already been posted but nothing came up related in the similar threads bit.

This might seem like a stupid question, but what does a dedicated server do exactly?
And why is it so crucial for PC gamers to have it?

EDIT*
Nevermind, I got my question answered in the other thread.

Most people think that is fake since it isn't listed on his twitter and that is the source quoted.

He recently posted an official repsonse on twitter linking to the following article

Basically says its not changing, everyone is on same playing field now.

what does the dedicated server do though

I wish i had a pc good enough to play it pc version = cheaper

whats the dedicated server

Also, dedicated are crucial to our system of competitive and clan gameplay. Playing a clan match on a listen server will give an obvious advantage to the team hosting, so their are dedicated servers where players are at an even field. Taking away this system is really a devestating blow to the pc community

It's the same as consoles now, so they need to have improved matchmaking. If they have, it's better for PC. Only things they'll miss is mods though, like promod!

Tbh, the PC system of servers was much better, much more developed than the console system because we ran how we wanted to play. We made mods if we didn't like something, and basically did whatever we wanted with the servers. Without mods or dedicated servers... this game might be DOA for PC
