Just learned that on PC, black ops dedicated servers are only exclusively available through GameServers.com - Fucking gay. They're doing this supposedly to combat cheating and mods (mods can be awesome, not sure why they'd do that), but that's the excuse they gave with MW2 and yet cheaters were still rampant and you could level 70 hack.
Oh well whatever, at least pings will be lower. The modding thing is bullshit though, I really wanted to play tactical realism and I doubt that's an included mode. CounterStrike (one of the most, if not the most successful multiplayer FPS in history) started as a mod. PC is just becoming more and more like consoles.
