Why Robin Makes Batman Better TimeGate Studios’ downloadable first-person shooter Section 8: Prejudice becomes the first Xbox 360 game to allow players to rent dedicated PC-hosted game servers. Fully configurable ranked and unranked servers for up to 32 players are now available through GameServers.com.
Players in Australia have been reporting some early issues with Black Ops online multiplayer in the PC space, with pings rarely going underneath 200 – and that’s to local servers.
But in a response to concerns from Gamers-Underground, Gameservers.com claimed that “Treyarch is aware” of the situation, and are looking to find a resolution “soon”.
We know that GameServers.com has exclusive rights to host servers for the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops, and last week Kotaku AU exclusively reported that GameServers’ Australian operation would be handled by Internode. We talked with GameServers and local server admins to find out what the deal really means for Black Ops in Australia.
Games.on.net, the video gaming wing of Internode, have just announced their exclusive rights to host Call of Duty: Black Ops servers in Australia, ending speculation that GameServers.com would be forced to provide for the entire continent (and possibly southeast Asia) with one Sydney data centre.
In an effort to show Activision and Treyarch just how popular the idea of a server monopoly is amongst competitive PC gamers, a petition site has sprung up at FixBlackOps.com.
Treyarch, the studio behind upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops, has stealthily granted GameServers.com exclusive rights to provide Black Ops servers. They’re one of the largest providers in North America – but what does this mean for PC gamers elsewhere?
