MW3 Server pre-order

Actually had some fun games tonight on MW2...
It really depends on pure chance as to whether you land in a 'good' lobby. The good thing about the RAGE server is that you can depend on fair play and a friendly atmosphere very time pretty much. Any exceptions result in swift justice being meted out.
:-)

So, we will see. I'm definitely getting MW3 and will act as our emissary: venturing into the wilds of tubers, cheaters and raging 12 year olds with a predilection for potty mouthed gaming cliches about my mother...

From the PC FAQ on the official page:

Are Dedicated Servers Ranked or UnRanked?
 
Only matchmaking to public games are Ranked (meaning, you have to rank up to unlock weapons to rank on the leaderboards), choosing to play on a Dedicated Server is UnRanked. Meaning unlocks are completely controlled by the Server Admin. They can choose to unlock everything or limit class restrictions to whatever they like to fully customize the experience. You do not have to rank up in Public games to have access to weapons in Dedicated Servers, you have complete control over what is unlocked for you in a Unranked Dedicated Server.

From my pint of view I don't think I want everything handed to me on a plate for dedicated games. I like gringo like the sense of achievement in unlocking things. If you can invite freinds (you guys) into lobby's then it might be alright. Basically I'm gonna buy it anyway if only for the single player game at first. I still want golden camo on Black Ops do I think I'll leave it till Xmas

I'm rather puzzled as to why they are so focused on having ranked as matchmaking only.

My best guess is that they are desperately trying to make the leaderboards (which you may have noticed they keep mentioning on twitter and in the FAQ) more controlable for the sake of their Elite service. Ranked dedi's would unbalance that because of 24/7 nuketown like servers and possibly hacked XP servers. If Elite wasn't around I suspect they wouldn't be obsessing so much over leaderboards.

Oh well, all this just means I'll be able to focus totally on BF3... that is until Skyrim comes out. I'm nearly high with excitement for those games!

P.S. genas1de could you please start using the edit button instead of triple posting in a short period of time, thank you.

Guys, my post focuses on the fact that levelling up will be a <1 month case.
Following this, playing in a ranked or non-ranked server won't matter providing we're still here at RAGE.

The upsetting thing would be if they did not have dedicated servers full stop.

So what I do suggest is that a RAGE MW3 server commences on or after Christmas, so we will not feel that we abandoned RAGE whilst levelling until then.
Seriously, it won't matter after we level up..

Worm you're not the first person to ask me to edit rather than add but I don't get the button. Never had. I'm not an admin like the rest of you :)

Ah ok gen, I thought you would have had a edit button on your own posts. Oh well, no worries about the triple post.
