IW: No Dedicated Server Support For Modern Warfare 2

Speaking with BashAndSlash.com earlier today, Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling revealed that the upcoming PC edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will not feature dedicated server support and will instead use a proprietary matchmaking system they're calling "IWNet". This new system will offer a console-like experience, automatically pairing you up with other players of similar rank through IW's servers or allowing you to host private matches with customizable gameplay settings. Gone are the server lists we've all become accustomed to. This change is sure to raise concerns about mods225a and community-made maps, but unfortunately Bowling didn't have any answers on how they plan to handle custom-made content or if it'll be supported at all. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks for the tip Veli-Pekka!
