A post on the Call of Duty Community Website outlines details on PC online security, matchmaking and servers in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Treyarch's upcoming military shooter sequel. Here's a handy summary of key points courtesy of One Of Swords, where there's also a discussion of some of the negative backlash this has inspired:
- All servers are dedicated servers, used for public matchmaking and league play.
- There will be servers located around the globe.
- You cant rent a dedicated server; theyre just free for your use.
- Anti-cheat is handled via VAC + Treyarchs own proprietary tech working in tandem.
- Treyarch has a full-time dedicated anti-cheat team to police the servers.
- Server files will not be made available to the public. Treyarch runs them.
- Mods will not be supported.
