SaveCOD is a comprehensive community effort to change Infinity Ward/Activision's decision to not include dedicated servers and mod tools for PC users. This news is a giant leap backwards. It seems that there is not a champion at IW who knows what the PC experience should be and that is disheartening. Many innovations in the game today originally came from modders such as *PST*Joker and many others. Making the console version as feature rich as PC has made console games what they are. It used to be innovations came from the modding community that owned and worked on the PC version and then they figured out how to put it in for the consoles. Console gamers are losing out here as well.

We are not talking about any radical new technologies here. Dedicated servers have been common practice in multiplayer PC games since the 1990's. The few multiplayer games that have not used dedicated servers have been monumental flops (Medal of Honor: Airborne, Fear 2, and now Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising) among the gaming community.

This is not to say matchmaking is a bad idea. We're all for the people who are new to PC gaming to be able to get a feel for online multiplayer, but not at this expense. We are willing to accept a delay the game or take a patch but please assure us that these features will be in the game. Please sign this petition and let IW know how you feel by canceling your preorder.

Check back soon for more news, information and reaction from the community.
