PC Call of Duty gamers were on pins and needles tonite waiting for
news on Treyarch’s CoD: Black Ops Multiplayer. A good deal of MP
information came out tonight at a big "do" in downtown Los Angeles, where community
movers and shakers gathered to look at the online version of the new
CoD franchise.
Feeding us the information, straight from the event was
planetcallofduty.com’s Josh Peckler. Josh hob-nobbed with PC lead, Cesar
Stastny (pcdev) and gained first-hand information.
To help us carve up that info, is New Zealand’s great shoutcaster and competitive PC caster from on3network.co.nz: Craig, aka Arseynimz.
What did we learn? Dedicated servers, sure. But you will only get
them from Gameservers.com. Also, there will not be any public server
files. Public files would allow you to run the game from your own
server, you will have to rent them from Gameservers exclusively it seems. But ranked or unranked servers will
be available from this (trusted GSP) provider. In other words, you as the admin will
have access to your server and you will be able to configure the server or mod it.
The game will be distributed exclusively through Steam and that means VAC - not
Punk Buster. VAC does not have the same anti-cheat savvy that PB has, so
we will need to monitor the resilience of VAC to counter the hackers
out there.
Josh Peckler liked the game (he only was able to play on an XBox) and seemed really stoked to get the game this coming fall.
What do you think about the MP news?

BASH 160: Revived by zh1nt0 |

Coming on to talk about what community management is all about is the
newly minted Community Manager for Battlefield, DICE’s own Daniel aka
zh1nt0.
If you are a BF gamer you will have seen zh1nt0 almost everywhere
recently. If he’s not tweeting about community happenings, he’s replying
on EA’s Battlefield forums. And if he’s not doing that, he’s playing on
community servers. And since he’s not doing those things at the moment,
he’s on here with us today.
In a wide-ranging interview, Daniel gives us his philosophy on how he
proposes to keep the Battlefield community fed and sated with
information. It can be a long time between games and in his role as CM, Daniel will try to ensure that DICE and Battlefield don’t fade in our memories. I can
assure you that as long as DICE has zh1nt0, we’ll certainly have
Battlefield foremost in our minds.
Also on the program, we talk about the success of BFBC2. We look
at weapons balancing and even get into a good discussion on competitive
gaming. Most of you by now know that Daniel was a former PC competitive
player and he has an interesting take on the future of
competitive BFBC2.
Take some time to listen to this one and get better acquainted with zh1nt0!

OVERCLOCKED, BASHandSlash.com's general PC-gaming webcast, is back and we return with one of the greatest PC games of all-time: StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty
The game released July 2010 to the excitement of PC gamers everywhere. Whether
or not you have ever played the game, if you know anything about PC
games, you know StarCraft.
Blizzard’s epic Real-Time Strategy (RTS)
game is one of the best selling games of all-time at just over 10
million copies sold (and that is ONLY PC).
Such an epic game deserves an epic cast, so we sat down with Legion a
former competitive StarCraft player and NateDogg a burgeoning StarCraft
competition guru to talk about StarCraft II and what it means not only
to fanboys but to the average PC gamer.
