Black Ops to have Dedicated Servers

Call of Duty: Black Ops will be receiving dedicated servers, according to studio head Mark Lamia.

When he was asked whether the popular feature would be found in Black Ops, in the newest 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 continued to show 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.”
