CoD Ghosts Dedicated Servers for PC?

[IzNoGoD]

Hmm, I'm not familiar with the newer cods so I didn't know about the rank/unranked stuff. That is interesting.

And FYI I don't believe they stopped releasing mapping tools because it competes with DLC, I think it is more a licensing issue?

Actually thinking about it more, they could probably make money releasing community mods as DLC.

The biggest issues is most likely the extension in the lifetime of the game: cod4 and cod2 (although less) are both still alive right now, whereas MW2 is basically more dead than cod2. The latest cod:aw has been plagued with bugs in mp that they told the community they would fix, but havent done yet, and the game will most likely die off quite soon, making way for the even newer cod:whatever

The problem with that theory is that the 1 a year cycle for COD games began with COD4. Yet, both CO4 and WaW had mod tools. If Activision were worried about mod tools supposedly "extending the life of the game", there would not have been mod tools for either COD4 or WaW.

Also, although we didn't have mapping tools, we had mod tools for BO1. Which, again, should not have happened if there was some supposed policy in place to not extend a games life.

In fact, this whole nonsense about some supposed policy about not extending a games life cycle is patently not true since the Master Servers would have been pulled and ended the old games as soon as the next game came out. Yet, they continue to run, and hence show that the theory doesn't hold water.

No, just like the theory that DLC competes with mod tools, this theory about Acitvision being worried about older games competing with the new games is simply not true, and doesn't stand close scrutiny.
