And you need a silver (free) live account to set up a dedicated server. I don't like that fact, it seems like they are controlling dedicated servers so that in the future they can charge for them, much like EA does for BF ranked servers.

- If you want to host a game online (non-dedicated), you have to pay a monthly fee for Xbox Live Gold. For your PC.
- If you want to host a dedicated server, you need a CD-KEY. I wonder if you can then join your own server while the key is in use?
- Probably zero chance of a linux dedicated server since it's a Microsoft product.
- You need Vista to play, and a pretty ballsy machine.
All this hassle for a 3 year old mediocre (as far as PC FPS games go) multiplayer experience? I really can't see this doing very well at all. Especially when it will be going up against Quake Wars, Crysis, UT2007 and whatever else is coming out.
