    Apparently a user on the IW forums named arkyfox is owrkin on a MW2 mod for dedicated servers. He has already found a way to get lean and enable the dev console. How you ask, heres a quote from the man himself.

    heres a live video on what hes doing that may not work at the moment because there are too many viewers but you will be able to watch it later on:

    It also seems he is trying to hide this from the IW forums for obvious reasons and has edited his thread. If this ends up working out, I will most likely buy it!

    LOL. Nice find.

    Although sloppy work on their part. Unles they had plans all along to eventually add dedicated servers, just wanted to see how things panned out first.

    Yeah, kudos to this guy. If it works i would buy the game for sure.
    This could also cause IW to say screw it and release a patch for ded servers and keep IWnet as well.

    thats what they should do. i dont mind iwnet. it makes it easy to join a game. dedicated servers just make games bigger

    I really don't see why dedicated servers and IWnet have to be mutually exclusive. IF this mod comes out or if a patch comes out from IW that adds dedicated servers, I'll deff. be picking up this game.

    I'm thinking IW's plan is to let a lot of PC buyers get it, and then release console, dedicated server, etc. updates when sales slow down and game isn't as popular. Then the effect of piracy won't be so bad since it's obvious the IWNet is meant to keep out the pirates. If IW allowed DS's from the beginning, the multiplayer would be pirated within a week from release.

    LOL, someone has cracked multiplayer to let pirated copies play on IWNet.
    On top of that someone has also managed to crack dedicated servers somewhat, not gonna post the links, but it currently only works for spec-ops.

    Its progress i hope he managed to get it working then they will be dedicated servers in MW2 and also leaning the AI was able to lean but we cant whats a FPS without leaning into corners which the other Call of dutys had. :( I actually went back playing COD4 Multi again because MW2 multi is so dull. Today i have seen more hackers today using aimbots, wallhacks, etc very annoying and the lack of players. There is second petition going around and a lot of PC users are signing it.

    I was wondering why I couldn't "lean" around corners anymore though.
