Modern Warfare 3 supported matchmaking as well as Dedicated Servers, allowing players to find and filter via an in-game server browser or set-up their own Dedicated Server for complete control, without being restricted by any 3rd party hosting requirements.

Are Dedicated Servers Ranked or UnRanked?
Only matchmaking to public games are Ranked (meaning, you have to rank up to unlock weapons to rank on the leaderboards), choosing to play on a Dedicated Server is UnRanked. Meaning unlocks are completely controlled by the Server Admin. They can choose to unlock everything or limit class restrictions to whatever they like to fully customize the experience. You do not have to rank up in Public games to have access to weapons in Dedicated Servers, you have complete control over what is unlocked for you in a Unranked Dedicated Server.

Yes! In addition to the public matchmaking system for finding Ranked public games, you can use the in-game server browser to find and favorite unranked Dedicated Servers to join, which can be filtered by a number of options mentioned above.
How is Modern Warfare 3 on PC handling anti-cheat?
Security is a major focus for Modern Warfare 3, especially coming out of Modern Warfare 2. We will be utilizing multiple methods of Anti-cheat and Security methods, including Steam’s VAC system, CEG, and our own propriety methods implemented to provide multiple layers of defense in keeping online multiplayer fun, fair, and secure for all players without limiting the control they expect on PC.

Lastly we are embracing the STEAM platform by integrating fully with Steam including friends list, STEAM achievements.
How is the game being optimized for PC hardware?
We do wide testing across all tiers of PC, in our office wehave an old minspec machine that receives just as much care as our top tier PC. We’ve also engaged the hardware manufactures for wider compatibility testing for us to ensure an optimized bug free launch.

No. Setting Max FPS is not a user controllable option.
Will ‘lean’ be in the game?
No. We chose to keep lean out of the game to keep the gameplay experience universal across all platforms. This was a gameplay design decision.

Battlefield 3: Un primo sguardo ai server
La Dice ha pubblicato sul forum di Bf3 diverse informazioni sui server, come molti pensavano i server potranno essere ospitati solo da certe aziende selezionate da loro.
Quindi i giocatori e le altre aziende non selezionate non potranno avere il proprio server senza acquistarlo.
Potete leggere le altre informazioni in inglese qui sotto o sul forum.
Read MoreHi everyone!
It’s time to talk a bit about BF3 PC game servers.
RSPs
The game server machines themselves will be run by a number of Ranked Server Provider (RSP) companies. We do not allow other companies to run game servers, or for other people to run game servers from home.
We try to strike a balance where there are game servers available across the globe, while still keeping the number of RSPs at a level where we can offer reasonable support to each individual company. Since we prefer to work with larger hosting companies, and we focus on countries where we have a larger player base, there will not be game servers available in every country on the planet.
The list of RSPs which will run BF3 game servers at launch is not ready yet. Once it is, we will publilalalala widely.Server administrators
While the RSPs run the physical machines, most if not all will be paid for and administered by the players themselves – individuals, groups of friends, or clans.
A server administrator control some aspects of the play experience – which maps are being played, which people are allowed onto the server, and can also affect the play style through various direct and indirect controls. Generally speaking, servers that are administered by reasonable admins attract players, while servers which have arbitrary rules imposed see less traffic.Ranked vs Unranked
One of the biggest choices which a server administrator has to make is, whether to run the server in Ranked or Unranked mode.
In Ranked mode, player progression is tracked on EAs master servers. Weapons are unlocked by playing the game. Player progression is also visible on Battlelog. The server administrators will have to abide by the Battlefield Rules of Engagement.
In Unranked mode, player progression is not tracked on the master servers. Server administrators have free reign on such servers – no Battlefield Rules of Engagement to heed. They can control in detail which weapons are available to the players, etc. This mode is suited to playing clan matches, tournaments, or to those players who just like the fairness of everyone having the same range of weapons available to them.PunkBuster
BF3 will use PunkBuster as its anti-cheat system. Game servers that run in ranked mode are required to have PunkBuster active.
There have been problems with the PunkBuster screenshot mechanism under DirectX 10/11 in the past. However, we have collaborated with EvenBalance to make screenshots function reliably with DX10/DX11 in BF3.Third party anti-cheat organizations
There are several community initiatives against cheating. These initiatives are usually volunteer organizations that maintain their own databases with cheaters. They do both manual work – reviewing screenshots, game recordings, and other cheating evidence – and also implement automated systems.
It is up to each individual server administrator whether to join with one or more of these organizations.While not officially partnering with these organizations, we try to ensure that BF3 works well with their systems in time for the launch.
The biggest three organizations that support Battlefield games are PBBans (PBBans | Always Quality over Quantity), GGC-Stream (GGC-Stream / News) and PunksBusted (PunksBusted.com Sponsored by Ventrilo). There are also several smaller organizations around.Server administration interface
BF3 will support a Remote Administration interface similar to that of BFBC2. The basic protocol will be the same, but commands differing a bit.
There is a plethora of tools available that can talk to the remote admin interface. We are in contact with several of the developers who created tools for BFBC2, and will aid them in adding support for BF3. If you have developed a BFBC2 remote admin tool which is popular (used on >100 game servers), send me a PM.
The protocol itself is still under constant revision. Expect the protocol to be published by the time that the retail game is released.Now I know you have a gazillion other questions. Spectator mode? Battlerecorder? mixed mode rotations? I don’t have solid answers for most questions yet. Hopefully we can cover those once the Open Beta is live.
Modern Warfare 3 : Avrà i Server Dedicati
Oggi Noah Heller della Beachhead parlando al gamescom con il sito Eurogamer ha confermato che Mw3 avrà i server dedicati.
“The big announcement today is that we’re supporting dedicated servers for PC, which is really cool.”
Dopo il “fail” che avevano fatto con mw2 direi che era la cosa migliore che potevano fare.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops Trailer
Questa mattina, è stato rivelato il primo trailer riguardante il titolo Treyarch Call Of Duty: Black Ops.
Dal trailer, sono deducibili varie componenti della gameplay e del motore grafico a dir poco sorprendenti: Innanzitutto, il motore grafico sembra ancora migliore e ancora più dettagliato di quello utilizzato in Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2; durante tutto il video, si nota l’utilizzo di armi classiche(AUG-BAR, AK-47) e di armi nuove(Un nuovo tipo di RPG, e addirittura, una balestra che monta un ACOG).
Il titolo, come già annunciato in precedenza dalla stessa Software House, prevederà(come annunciato in questo link ) per il multiplayer l’utilizzo di server dedicati e l’utilizzo dei tool per il modding(esattamente come in CoD4, CoD2, CoD:WaW) permettendo così, anche agli hardcore gamers di dar vita a quelle competizioni che hanno caratterizzato il mondo di questi titoli fps(ESL, CB) e che hanno provocato purtroppo forte delusione in tutti i giocatori che vedevano in MW2 un titolo rivelazione.
