Treyarch Considering Dedicated Servers for Call of Duty: Black Ops

In an interview, Treyarch head Mark Lamia mentioned that they are working hard to include dedicated servers in the PC version of Black Ops for multiplayer.
“Dedicated servers are excellent, I don’t see any reason not to see them unless… well, I just don’t see any reason not to. We do work very hard to reconcile the desire to manipulate and modify those dedicated servers with offering them the persistent experience and benefits that the console system provides… We’re working very hard to marry those two things, so people can run dedicated servers and also participate in the communal experience the console players get to have, given they’re all on first-party servers.”
Nobody would have expected it, but perhaps Treyarch will be the one to save us from the horrible trenches that Infinity Ward dug for us with IWNet’s terrible player-2-player servers in Modern Warfare 2.
On a related note, Activision has assured gamers that a full, proper Black Ops trailer will be premiering on May 18th during the NBA Eastern Conference Finals match on ESPN.
