Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 PC supports dedicated servers
Call of Duty: Black Ops II will indeed support dedicated servers on PC, developer Treyarch has confirmed. And not just any old dedicated servers, oh no, ranked dedicated servers.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II will indeed support dedicated servers on PC, developer Treyarch has confirmed. And not just any old dedicated servers, oh no, ranked dedicated servers. The shooter series has been inconsistent with this feature widely desired by PC gamers, so good to hear it's locked down for the latest.
The confirmation came from Treyarch director of technology Cesar Stastny on Twitter (via Call of Duty Community), who simply said, "Confirmed: Ranked Dedicated Servers for #BlackOps2."
Infinity Ward dropped dedicated server support in 2009's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, then Treyarch brought it back the next year in the first Black Ops. While Infinity Ward did support dedicated servers in last year's Modern Warfare 3, they were unranked, meaning you couldn't level up or unlock weapons playing on them. And here we are today, with everything you want.
Cod Blops 2 is coming to PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on November 23, published by Activision. A Wii U version, though unconfirmed, is rumoured and highly likely.

So what do we do if the enemy steals the keys to the servers?
-
Make new keys, find a different server, assault the brigands, board the enterprise, and meme the generator.

Almost certainly not community-hosted ranked dedicated servers. Black Ops 1 was mandatory rented servers from Gameservers.com.
Their rationale will be that they can't guarantee the security of dedicated servers unless they're hosted by a trusted third party. This is despite Valve allowing community-hosted servers for TF2 and Left 4 Dead.
This is nothing new, just a vague tweet before the BLOPS2 multiplayer details being unveiled in September. Same exact thing Treyarch did two years ago, and the gaming press and fanboys are eating it up.
Meh, have fun repeating history. I'm going to go find a Q3 server tonight. -

Fuck Nuketown 2020. Servers need to stop running that garbage. It's never too early to get the ball rolling.

Probably makes more sense to do a rewrite before next gen instead of hamstring yourself at the end of the current console cycle.
