Remember when just a few weeks before release, word got out that Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will support dedicated servers for multiplayer? While that might have made some people jump with joy, it hasn’t exactly panned out as planned — at least not yet.
In a recent AMA, Sledgehammer Games painstakingly ignored every single one of the dozens of Modern Warfare 3 SBMM comments and questions,
So what's the problem? Are streamers being matched with actual competent players and getting destroyed without their cheats?
No, the problem is a player get matched with all other below average team mates and another team is 1 average player the rest players above average ... its like having a team of pro vs a team of newbies this was all leaked through patents you can play with friends and it get more balanced, but then everyone is just camping and the only way to win is well camping which in turn is well not anything close to fun.
Years ago, Sledgehammer Games was working on a third-person Call of Duty game set during the Vietnam War. But it never came to be.
Former director at Activision, Bret Robbins, revealed that Advanced Warfare 2 had a working prototype, but it was eventually shelved for COD WWII.
That is a shame. AW is my favourite CoD. I hope they do a sequel one day.
I still prefer CoD based on historical settings or in near future settings(like CoD: Ghost) ... even though I liked infinite Warfare's campaign ... it was top notch
A lot of people who never played a shooter prior to like 2012 get really mad about anything that isn't a modern combat game.
Ugh...I hate these kind of replies that big companies give their customers/fans. You know, those 'answers your question without really answering your question' type replies. I know, why don't stop talking to us like we were born yesterday and try being a little more transparent with the people who are buying your products? Your severs are crap, we want to know if you are going to improve them. Answer the damn question.
Jesus. They're worse than politicians!
Oh, but never mind...here's a double XP weekend to shut you up! Lots of love - Activision.
Just give us a damn good game and stop lying to us! is that so much to ask for seriously!
Basically, what they're saying is NO to dedicated server support. They refuse to let go of even 1% of profits to better the gameplay performance. Only if sales were in the hole, like around the time of MW3 on PC when they finally brought dedicated servers back there because they knew that's the main reason sales were so low on the last game on PC. Bobby Kotick has said it before that basically they listen to customers through sales, not through the what the community is actually begging for. So, if kids still buy it up like hotcakes regardless, they don't make those types of changes, especially ones that will cost them any type of $.
Hmm.......this is a real bs answer. Should we expect dedicated servers or not? My money is on "more bs to come".
