You realize you can level up, get your unlocks, then never touch matchmaking again. If they made the dedicated servers ranked there would tons of complaining about people gaming leaderboards, and cheating to get unlocks, and all that garbage. Their decision of giving dedicated servers, but not making them ranked is what you call a compromise, which seems unpopular to most.
Em they worked fine in BO just under constraints which is a compromise. CoD BO work fine, CoD 4 worked fine, CoD WaW stat abuse and that was then patched out. Also there are no real leaderboards on the PC and people can cheat with matchmaking so it is not like it makes a flying fuck in that respect. Even at that they can do a BC 2 style thing as well.

So.... a successful game did something that ultimately remained unchallenged except for a few whiny people, and they are doing the same thing for the sequel?
Hilarious.
Yes I will buy and yes I will be doing the same thing I did with MW2 i.e. play for over one hundred hours and not even notice the "issue" you are bringing up.
So some people want a solid game experience both ranked and unranked and they don't want people to have a distinct advantage and play in a shitty high ping environment and that makes them whiney?

Eherm, I Think this is Great. Dedicated servers are bland and boring. It'l prevent millions of servers just on the same map for 247! Im Happy they have got rid of shitty dedicated servers!
Yes because there is no such thing as servers with map rotations and hundreds of other servers that have normal rotations aside from Nuketown/Arica Harbour/Caretan. No they don't exist. Seriously though there is a Dedicated server for everyone no one is forcing you to go on a 24/7 and no one ever will.

Today I discovered that the dedicated servers promised to PC gamers for MW3 have not been what everyone expected. Dedicated servers will be unranked only. This means that if you wish to level up and make any kind of progress you have to use IWNet, the matchmaking service introduced in MW2.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
The reason most of us wanted Dedicated servers is so that we can enjoy the game with a regular group of people, in a low ping environment, with the settings how we like them. While it's true that you can still do this, it's a moot point because you make NO PROGRESS while doing this. I don't want to have to play with a bunch of random people I don't know, across someone's inevitably terrible broadband connection, with no admins, just so I can level up.
So PC gamers, I ask you, Will you be getting MW3 in light of this news?
I for one, will be cancelling my pre-order if this doesn't change.
Good for you. I for one will buy it, mainly because I enjoyed the last few games.
Why did you make a post about this? Just to say that you aren't getting it? I am confused.
Don't be confused.
You see it has apparently become the norm on this site for every whiney person and their whiney dog to create a thread whenever they see or hear something they don't like regarding a game, usually ending with a declaration of them not buying said game.
They continue to do this even though nobody cares.
You'll get used it it.
So you should not complain about something about a game on a gaming forum where we are supposed to discuss what happens in games? I thought this was the whole point of sites on the Escapist. Especially when it is something like Dedicated Servers on PC which are supposed to be a standard thing like well actually I can't think of any exclusive standard worthwhile features on consoles but I'm sure there is something. No I don't mean to be elitist by this I am genuinely drawing a blank. If I come up with something I will put in an edit.
I mean really to everyone saying Dedicated Servers are unreasonable for ranked it is very easy to set it up so a low player count results in no EXP or achievements being gained. BC 2 already does this and it works fine I think you need like 8 or 10 on the server for points to be gained and I really don't see why this hard and set up certain acceptable limits so servers can be used for ranked like I dunno Black Ops.
I mean seriously it is not like this hasn't been done before and well. Stop saying this isn't possible when it is already running fine. The odd cheater excluded.

Yeah... I'm sure that boycott will be very successful... as much as the other ones.
Wow a picture that represents less than ~.02% of the people that went to boycott the game from a group that represents ~.55% of the boycott. Yes that must mean that the other ~99.45% of the people also bought and played the game. Also 9/10 cats prefer Whiskas.
Complete lack of the workings of PC gamers and Dedicated servers on this thread is nothing short of astonishing.
Also one thing I love and I will put this in nice big letters so everyone can see.
[HEADING=2]Many people here are complaining that people are whiners from previous MW 2 boycott and alughing at people without even asking for a source or even checking this out for themselves.[/HEADING]
I mean did people even bother to check that out or are is everyone just posting flame and laughing at people's opinions because of a post with no source?
