wow....heard that line so many times....

 

I think it's more of a dig towards DICE and their server policy. I'm on MW3's side for that department. About time a AAA dev woke up and realized that public server files are important to a lot of us.

Modern Warfare 3 will be one of the last hurrahs for the console-dominated gaming era as the world shifts toward new-school, alternative platforms.

MW3 Anti-Cheat topic is there

 

http://www.callofduty.com/message/12833

 

Ofc the anti-pb trolls are there too.

 

MW2 is infested by hackers because of IWNET. not VAC.VAC was not developed to work with P2P system.

 

 

Also Bunkbuster is worts anti-cheat systmem ever.

 

There is thousands of reasons why PB will ban for no reason you out of the game.

 

And if you want have easy join game through steam say good bye to PB as it kicks you for using Steam Overlay. And I can't use FRAPS in CoD4 because PB will kick me.

 

 

And updating PB is fustarating and can be complicated.

Things like making it as secure as it can be - Modern Warfare 2 had a lot of problems with cheating and hacking, especially on the PC, that VAC didn't fully take care of.

Security is a major focus for Modern Warfare 3, especially coming out of Modern Warfare 2. We will be utilizing multiple methods of Anti-cheat and Security methods, including Steam's VAC system, CEG, and our own propriety methods implemented to provide multiple layers of defense in keeping online multiplayer fun, fair, and secure for all players without limiting the control they expect on PC.

The big feature for MW3 we are supporting is Dedicated Servers, this includes a serverbrowser, voting, RCON, and more. Also we've implemented some PC only rendering features including SSAO. Lastly we are embracing the STEAM platform by integrating fully with Steam including friends list, STEAM achievements.

 

 

 

How is the game being optimized for PC hardware?

No. Setting Max FPS is not a user controllable option.

No. We chose to keep lean out of the game to keep the gameplay experience universal across all platforms. This was a gameplay design decision.

Sounds like another case of MW2. CEG does nothing to stop real cheaters.

 

 

Cheat / Hack Free Games: The biggest benefit of using IWnet by far is the fact that you don't have to worry about joining a server full of aim-bots, wallhacks, or cheaters. Or relying on the server admin of the server to constantly be monitoring, banning, and policing it. Modern Warfare 2 on PC allows us to control the quality of the game much more than ever before as well as utilizing the VAC (Valve-Anti-Cheat) system to keep games clean of hackers and cheaters.

 

And they can keep it with 18 players max. Seems the two biggest games this year have failed for making TDM with at least 32 players like many older games have. I don't care if it ruins the "balance" because it was still fun for me in CoD4. It should be the choice of the player not the dev.

I just had to laugh at that.

Another prime example of game developers learning nothing from past experience re how effective their anti cheat measures are, and once again going with the free option.

How can they state

especially coming out of Modern Warfare 2
and then serve up the same old useless tripe that has shown itself as so ineffective in MW2 :scratchchin:

 

Now, if that statement had read;

We will be utilizing multiple methods of Anti-cheat and Security methods, including either Steam's VAC system or PunkBuster

From what I understand the dedicated servers that IW/Activision are crowing about are unranked.

The ranked servers will presumably be on the iw.net shizzle :unsure:

"Does Modern Warfare 3 on PC support an in-game Server Browser? Can you also use matchmaking?

 

 

Yes! In addition to the public matchmaking system for finding Ranked public games, you can use the in-game server browser to find and favorite unranked Dedicated Servers to join, which can be filtered by a number of options mentioned above."

The only people I support now is TWI. At least they have a good game.

 

  • 64 player slot count
  • PB and VAC
  • LAN support
  • Dedicated Server Files
  • Admin panel to control servers
  • Lean and strafe and prone
  • Ranked servers and unranked servers both with full access to the servers.

So much for the other games. :(
