$$$ is the reason
For them to run servers when the peer method is adequate for 99% of players is an unreasonable expectation, even of a company as ugly as activision. It's not needed on console, and isn't it already available on PC anyway?

Haven't played the game in weeks. Sick of grinding through prestiges.
Gonna let the excitement build back up and see what happens.
No doubt, and thats actually how I found out about it. I didn't bother to look it up before hand because I just assumed there would be some sort of actual progression in the prestige portion other than just customizing the looks of face paint, emblems, etc. As for it always being that way from what I gather it has but I've never personally played another CoD game before this one. I'm not saying it's bad or anything, I did enjoy playing it online but I was just a bit let down that a game that was touted as having a very in depth online multiplayer aspect seems to lack any real depth at all after level 50.
I'm not one to grind out more levels just to have a different icon next to my name or a custom face paint. Even if it was something small like a different gun available in prestige levels or upgrading attachments I would keep playing it. Something. Right now it just feels like I hit a wall and theres nothing left in the online portion for me. I guess part is just me venting because I just bought it last Wednesday and now kinda feel like I wasted my money on it. Ah well though, it will still be entertaining to play online with friends/family.
I've decided that Berlin is one of the best maps in the game.
Discuss.
I haven't played since before First Strike came out, i'm gonna have to get on there tonight and buy the DLC. I'm just hearin too many good things!
Berlin wall is great in domination. The fights over the middle flag are so intense. I don't think it plays very well in TDM though.

Berlin is horrible for TDM. It's a lot of fun in domination but that's all I've played on it so far.
I'm not a fan of Stadium. Too hectic, too much twitch-killing. I guess I need to learn to stay in one area and own it. That's generally what I do with Nuketown.I like all of the First Strike maps, and I have never said that about any of the other map packs that I've ever bought for any game.

I played very little COD4 MP. MW2 was my real de-flowering as far as online console MP goes. Before that, it was CS in college.Have you never played Shipment from CoD4?
What a shame, you missed the last real good Call of Duty.I played very little COD4 MP. MW2 was my real de-flowering as far as online console MP goes. Before that, it was CS in college.
I guess I could see that, with the lack of annoying noob/spammy shit like endless nades/danger-close and overpowered kill streaks, but I think BO is just fine with that stuff. If a competitor is steam-rolling everyone, it will be a massacre whether they have nade spamming or ridiculous killstreaks.What a shame, you missed the last real good Call of Duty.

I played very little of cod4 mp as well. Was too busy with Gears 2 at the time. Anyhow, it had it's own flaws as well and some of the maps weren't all that great either. Like, shipment and the one with all of the nuclear missles.
American Gunner has his beer goggles on. COD4 was the best - until BO. People forget about COD4's abuses:
- Frags x 3 = nade fest
- Martyrdom
- Martyrdom (because it's worth repeating)
- Juggernaut
- Noob tube abuse (carried over to MW2 where it got even worse)
BO doesn't really suffer abuses like the past games did. You could make an argument for the RCXD, but it'd be weak at best.
