John Carmack Says No Dedicated Servers For Rage
AndrewDBarker writes "Modern Warfare 2 will use a matchmaking setup powered by IWNet for online play (as we've discussed). It's too early to say what Rage will use, but Carmack indicated he believed the servers are something of a remnant of the early days of PC gaming. That said, he realizes the affinity many PC gamers have for them — and is glad Rage won't be leading the charge away from them. 'The great thing is we won't have to be a pioneer on that,' he says. 'We'll see how it works out for everyone else.'"
I'm thinking rage will be a tricked up Far Cry 2, FPS with some wafer thin role playing elements, you drive around, shoot some stuff, drive around, repeat. Like any FPS it will have implausibly located exploding barrels, and crates... everywhere. We are long past the era significant innovation in the FPS genre.
After logging in slashdot still does not take you back to the page you were on. It's been that way for 20 years.
But I stopped playing games a year ago... what a great year its been.
"They confiscated everything, even the stuff we didn't steal!"
lolwut. Have you been drinking, or are you playing that game where you stick random words together and giggle as others try to figure out what you're talking about?
