It is actually Valve related as its being launched on the steam platform, which on the sales page has nothing about this critical flaw. So letting potential server admins for this game know, who will be on this list, that there is going to be no server is a relevant point.
Anyone not aware of this could buy the game, from steam, rightly assuming it works in the same manor as any other well designed FPS, especially given its heritage. The result being a total waste of their money, so the more people that are aware of this retarded decision by IW the better IMO. That's before you consider the fact that if IW are allowed to get away with this then others like Valve etc may think its also a good idea; and your next iteration of CS may also ditch the ability to run quality dedicated servers. I don't think anyone at Value would be quite that stupid, but 1 week ago I would have said the same thing about IW, and now look where we are! All gamers, both PC and console, need stick together and support each other, that means spreading the word about this utter failure. Hit IW the only place that will make them look up and think, their wallet! This needs as many customers as possible to be are aware of the facts, so they can avoid buying what will be one of the worst online FPS experience ever released on the PC platform :( Regards Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shane Arnold" <clontar...@iinet.net.au> > It's neither HLDS, SRCDS or VALVe related. ================================================ This e.mail is private and confidential between Multiplay (UK) Ltd. and the person or entity to whom it is addressed.
