dumdum1974 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Sounds like a non disclosure might have just ended the day of the announcement, I could see GS jumping all over it as soon as they possibly could. Who knows... We all jumped also when mw2 droped dedicated support so what was changed at that time for us? Nothing I believe Well will see where this goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xguju Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Sounds like a non disclosure might have just ended the day of the announcement Now that I think about, this is a brilliant move on GS's part. They are absolutely brilliant, having everyone going to that forum post with the pre-order. Regardless of whether it is true or false, they get a helluva lot of traffic. And they have their order link right there, it makes it a common sense decision for all these server owners to just order from GS to prevent any problems in the future. Could it be the truth? yes. Is it an amazing PR Move? Hell yes. Could it be both? Maybe Should GS be trusted? Hell no. This PR benefits them more than anything and has no statements from Activision or Treyarch. The benefit of the doubt was given to that idiot Robert Bowling from IW because he was the community manager. While GS is big stuff in the GSP world, no one from the actual game team has confirmed anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attack1 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 if this is true i believe it is a crock of S*** ..... all the petition signing in the world didn't get us MW2 servers. I have a feeling this could be true. The little guy cant make any money, wth is that. Before long all we will be able to host is the old game titles. I for one was looking forward to the release of the game to drive home some sales. Guess I'll just drive home.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feltz Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 LOL they dont need to increase the traffic to their site trust me. They could do nothing and get more traffic than every GSP in these forums times 10. They wouldnt need to lie they could just say pre order COD BO threw us and the orders will flow on a daily basis.

powerpc Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Its not mine, we use Supermicro twin servers But i feel the gamehosting business is going down the drain, Console, Console, Console, no dedi, no mod/tool... Soon no pcgaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumdum1974 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I dont think this was PR move from GS,more thinking this was smart move from Activision they let them anounce to see what would be reaction ,because I am sure they know about competition rules around globe,so I think we should support lpgservers with his effort to do something about it.

dimitrifrom31 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 the fact they are selling "ranked" servers with 18 slots only makes me think they are aware of things we aren't. If they know there will be ranked servers and if they know those servers have to be 18 slots then they possibly have the exclusivity. Totally sucks as they are far from having servers world wide (apart from the monopoly aspect ofc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS-Liam Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 gameservers.com value just doubled ;-) Well congrats to them, Sucks about there choice though, Would of thought they'd seen sense after MW2 Fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention if hackers managed to crack mw2 servers, blackops should be easy task and I can already smell tons of "cracked" servers for blackops, much more than for any other game before.

tarnecki Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 http://www.codboards.com/portal/?tag=gameservers-com last nights multiplayer reveal told us even more about what we can expect from the hosting side of call of duty: Black ops. There will be no public server files. Servers will be rented from gameservers.com only. Anti-cheat will be provided by vac, not punkbuster. There will be a /record feature. Black ops will be a steam exclusive. For more reveals from the multiplayer event, check out our forums!!! http://www.codboards.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=133 no comment !!

trancemode Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 just another game to boycott, shame there been no real decent fps since cod4 and waw. I didn't really like WAW and I believe its the same company who is making black ops. COD4 is by IW and it is one of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimitrifrom31 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I didnt like waw either but I reckon it was a decent fps with all what you can expect from a pc fps : mod tools and dedicated servers (thats actually not much but it looks like too much for new releases).

Goran Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Yeh new releases are avoiding mod and maps tools, probably just to release the game and earn some cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proclan Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 My answers: 1. Gameservers.com offered them some cash for exclusive rights bottom line it's all about money and not the people that purchase the game. Most of you knuckle heads went and bought mw2 after signing a petition not to purchase it (smart move). If your not going to offer mods and dedicated files why bother making the game for pc. 2. I wouldn't rent a server from gameservers.com aka Walmart if they sold penny a slot servers. 3. Been playing games since 99' back in the zone days (msn gaming zone aka Rogue Spear/Rainbow 6) and there was another one I cant remember so yeah I've been around awhile. There going to keep doing this until you knuckle heads quit buying there games. Thats goes for the console retards too. New theory: If it's not a steam game don't buy it!
