Last week a "tweet" was posted up by a producer at Digital Illusions that, without naming names, pretty much slammed Infinity Ward's stance on not providing dedicated servers for the PC multiplayer portion of Modern Warfare 2. Now the developer has gone well beyond 140 characters in a new blog entry that explains their own opinions on the topic. Once again they state that their upcoming FPS Battlefield: Bad Company 2, like all of their previous Battlefield games, will have dedicated server support for the PC version.

Again without naming names, producer Gordon Van Dyke states, "A lot of buzz has been floating around the internet lately about dedicated servers . . ." That's certainly true. Digital Illusions feels that peer-to-peer solutions for PC players are not the best as they are dependent on the host's connection. Van Dyke states, "With dedicated servers everyone gets non-stop action with no connection penalties based on some other player and their internet. This makes dedicated servers the best solution for online PC gaming hands down!"

Van Dyke adds, "So rest assured PC players, Battlefield will stay true to its roots offering dedicated servers to all its players and continue the tradition of the ultimate FPS gaming experience!" Sounds like the developer wants some of the business that it thinks might be dumping Modern Warfare 2.
