Call of Duty 2 Causing Server Unrest

Posted by Zonk on Monday November 28, 2005 @11:37AM from the players-are-revolting dept.

Despite the excellent gameplay, Call of Duty 2 is causing a lot of internet unrest among the players who want to participate in the online multiplayer component. GamePolitics reports on a thread from the official site. From the site: "Server admins - those mysterious men (and women) behind the curtain who keep online gaming venues humming - are fed up with the PC version of Call of Duty 2. So fed up that they are planning a 24-hour shutdown of COD2 servers on Deember 16th if publisher Activision and developer Infinity Ward fail to address their complaints, which include the lack of an anti-cheat system."

While I assume it would be nice for the developer to add things like Anti-Cheat

More like "necessity". This isn't just to make gamers happy, it's in the publishers best interests as well. If it gets around that online cheating is rampant, people will be much, much less likely to buy the game.
