Even then, it is unknown if we will gain any hosting ability.

To me, it looks like UBI/GRIN really dropped the ball on this one. I'm going to wait until I have the full game and write up an article about this very issue for the front page. I can't express my level of disappointment with both of these companies at their choices to alienate the dedicated server and multiplayer markets.

As I just told Sabre Six, Armed Assault is looking better and better to me.

Look I hate to sound like a dummy, but I am a bit confused. There is all this talk about no multi- player, or no SADS. But I have read about 32 player MP, and domination mode being supported. These 2 statements seem to contradict each other. Can someone dumb this down for me? Teach me something.

There is not dedicated server support, so you'd have to host everything off someone's computer I believe.

TG servers are rack servers, not a computer like yours with a 3d graphics card. They are sitting in a datacenter somewhere in a rack with a bunch of other computers, all they do is crunch numbers. Without dedicated server files you can't use these types of computers to act as a "server." You would need a normal PC, like yours or mine.

noobi-soft's time has come to an end. If they wish to screw over PC gamers at the expense of console gamers then they can do so without my support. I can't justify buying there consolated games - each time I do I'm basically saying "yeah it's ok - screw up my enjoyment because you can't be bothered to include the PC side of the market" - who was it that made GR the success it is? Oh that;'s right - the PC market.
