Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will support ranked dedicated servers on PC, Treyarch has confirmed.
Treyarch director of technology Cesar Stastny confirmed the news via Twitter, with a blunt but apt “Confirmed: Ranked Dedicated Servers for ‪#BlackOps2‬”
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 dropped dedicated servers entirely, whereas Modern Warfare 3 allowed you to have them but only unranked.
Meanwhile, perennial shootymens rival Battlefield 3 not only supports dedicated servers but has brought them over to consoles and now rents them to players directly.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will be released for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on November 13.
After the patchy performance of the Call of Duty series on PC for the past few years and the fact Battlefield 3 looks incredible on big computers, I’d say Treyarch might have an uphill struggle winning over the PC players this year. Good effort, though.
