Call Of Duty: Black Ops II PC - No Modtools, No Server Renting, No Public Server Files - R.I.P.

What anti-cheat will be used?

Anti-cheat is a top priority for Call of Duty: Black Ops II. We have developed our own proprietary server-side anti-cheat technology which will work alongside VAC to deliver the most advanced detection and banning capabilities of any Call of Duty game to date. We have also improved our player reporting system to make it the most effective way that you can help us catch cheaters. And starting on launch day we will have a full-time dedicated pc anti-cheat team focused solely on detecting and banning cheaters. We have a zero tolerance policy on cheating. Cheaters bans are permanent.



Will Black Ops have Matchmaking or Dedicated Servers?

Both! Call of Duty: Black Ops II PC combines matchmaking with secure ranked dedicated servers. This means that you get into Public Matches or League Play via matchmaking lobbies. It is easy to party up and play with your friends. You can adjust your classes or scorestreaks between matches. It also means that every Public or League match is hosted on a dedicated server running in one of our high bandwidth datacenters around the globe.



Will you release the server files?

No. We are keeping the server files secure to protect the game from hacking and cheating and ensure the ranking and progression system integrity.



Can I rent a server?

No. We are providing a huge number of servers around the world at no extra charge – plenty for everyone to enjoy. And we will administer the servers.



Will there be mod tools?

No. As we continually improve and advance our in-house tools for our own content teams we are unable to provide consumer tools due to increased technical requirements, licensing restrictions, and technology dependencies.

Well, this is it guys. That's pretty much the nail in the coffin for Call Of Duty PC - unless you like that sort of thing. There will be no more custom settings and everything will be console limited settings pretty much. I predict 5 minute matches with low score counts and default rotations for the most part.

I believe, like the console, they will probably have a set playlist, but this will basically be like consoles with dedicated servers. I wanted to look past another year of CoD4 or CoD5WaW, but this kills any CoD future for good. Good thing I didn't get my hopes up because I felt like they would release bad news like they do every year, but I didn't expect it to be this bad.

[Edit]Seems like there will only be 12 - 18 players, 5 minute rounds, and everything default.




well at least there's still CoD4 and World At War

Well that is F*#&ed up! I probably wont even buy the game now.

I have already had my lesson and bought mw3 50 euros not worth 1 single euro. Nothing. Just a piece of shit. It's not gonna happen again. My advise to you is wait for the commentaries on youtube by PC gamers.

Much love CoD4, WaW and MW2

B.O was already a big shit for me then ...

MW3 is not too bad but too much Cheaters on all corners, I played it the last week with old friends, only 2h and even in 2h i left the servers maybe 5-6x cuz Noobs..

My favorite is ,forever, WaW, CoD4 and MW2

bump for those who didn't see it.

Pretty much everything after mw2
