Call Of Duty: Black Ops To Have Dedicated PC Servers

It was pretty much a given, but now Call Of Duty: Black Ops developer Treyarch has confirmed that they'll be using dedicated servers for their new title, thankfully ignoring the 'advances' that Infinity Ward's IWNet 'offered.'

When asked whether the popular feature would be present in Black Ops in the new issue of PC Zone, Lamia replied, "I think dedicated servers are excellent. I don't see any reason not to see them unless... well, I just don't see any reason not to."

"It seems people like them and we're excited about what we're doing right now."

Lamia showed his appreciation of how much dedicated servers meant to a lot of PC gamers:

"We do work very hard to reconcile the desire to manipulate and modify those dedicated servers with offering them the persistent experience and benefits that the console system provides."

"We're working very hard to marry those two things, so people can run dedicated servers and also participate in the communal experience the console players get to have, given they're all on first-party servers."
