Rejoice: after all the hoopla surrounding Infinity Ward and its decision to remove dedicated server support in the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 in favor of an in-house matchmaking network dubbed IWNet, developer Treyarch is taking a different route with Call of Duty: Black Ops. Mark Lamia says the Activision-owned studio sees “no reason” not to include them, speaking in an interview with PC Zone magazine:

Dedicated servers are excellent. I don’t see any reason not to see them unless… well, I just don’t see any reason not to.

A sound choice, sir. It’s clear that a vast majority of the PC community wants dedicated servers – why not give them what they want? Glad to see Treyarch recognize this. So, what’s the verdict, will the inclusion of dedicated server support impact your purchasing plans?
