There are dedicated servers but not in the traditional sense. Matchmaking still is how you get games I guess.
Something like that.
Calling out the source engine? They don't release a game every year and they don't try to play it off as if it's some new fantastic engine that will wow you. Valve knows the limitations of the engine, but I'll be honest. The source engine looks multiple times better than CoD.
As for having issues on SLI etc. Nvidia even released a beta driver that specifically stated an increase in performance for the game. Still runs like crap.
Source is old, but at least the games they release on it typically aren't that expensive and often have mod potential instead of locked stuff. And you're right, they don't release a glorified expansion pack every year for $60.
