Well, as of now, none of the guys from Infinity Ward or Sledgehammer Games will answer the main questions we need to know about this Unranked Dedicated Server system.

So far, we know that we will have all unlocks from the start and that they will be admin controlled (no ranking/leveling up). The problem is that we will probably have to create our class(es) inside the servers each time we enter a server. What I mean by this is with this system that they have said so far, it may be that we don't have saved classes before we enter a dedicated server like we used to.

So, it may be joining a server first, going to the 'create a class' menu and then selecting the items that will make up your loadout, or class. When you leave a server, your class isn't saved so you will have to make a class each time you enter a server.

We hope this isn't true and we are still trying to get an answer. Check back from time to time to see if there's been any info.

I've decided to start the post as new because the other one may be too long for people to actually see that there's newer posts.

This is from member Dante2010 of the Call Of Duty forums:

A day after instigating a tweeter campaign (where I got as many people as I could to bombarded @fourzerotwo @michaelcondrey @glenschofield) asking the vital questions, Michael Condrey finally answered:

Q1. Are server files stand alone?
A. Yes

Q2.Does steam have to be running in order for dedicated server to run?
A. No

Q3.Can multiple servers run from 1 dedi box? or is it just one instance?
A. Yes. multiple per

This is fantastic news! This means anyone - and I do mean anyone - can run a dedicated server, be they an individual or a company. No Steam account is needed to run them, and as such Steam does not have to be running. This means they will definitely run on a dedicated box, and we can in fact run multiple instances of a server on one box.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the campaign, and especially to Cprl.Rst (aka vampiejay) for getting the actual tweet response.

And thank you Michael, for taking the time out of your trip to London, to answer us.

Well, finally getting somewhere. We still don't know Max Player Count or whether we can have Progressive Ranking (Rank up 1, 2, 3, etc) and all unlocks day one. With only a week and some change left, we are trying to get all final news to see if it's save to preorder.
