Black Ops II Getting Dedicated PC Servers

The lack of ranked dedicated servers has been sore spot for Call of Duty PC players for the last few iterations of the franchise, but it looks like that may be changing for Black Ops II.

Treyarch’s director of technology recently tweeted, "Confirmed: Ranked Dedicated Servers for #BlackOps2." Modern Warfare 3 had dedicated servers, but they were unranked. This should be good news for PC fans of Call of Duty.

Thanks to Hasaun Dyer for the news tip.

First Wave Of Modern Warfare 3 DLC Coming In January

If you're looking for more Call of Duty: Modern Warfare action, fear not. Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling has revealed when the first wave of DLC for the game will be hitting. Here's hoping you're free at the end of January.

Bowling says the content will be arriving on Xbox Live on January 24. If past installments of Call of Duty's DLC are any indication, PS3 and PC players will have to sit this one out for a few weeks as Xbox 360 users bask in the limited-time exclusivity.

What exactly is coming? Activision's not saying, aside from a tease from Bowling that DLC for the game will include Spec Ops missions and a whole lot of variety. He made the statement on the Call of Duty Elite Roll Call show (requires registration), where he also spoke about how great it is having three studios (Infinity Ward, Raven, and Sledgehammer) working on the game. Congrats. Now give us some details, already

A Ban on Modern Warfare Could Last You 5000 Days

Thinking about causing some mischief in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3? Think again.

Activision is handing out bans that could last up to 14 years. A photo surfaced on the website MP1st recently that shows one player being banned for 5000 days!

Infinity Ward creative strategist Robert Bowling said on Twitter that the 5000 day ban "means you've been Permabanned (for something bad)." Of course, Bowling is assuming that no one out there would wait that long to get back to playing Modern Warfare 3.
