Maybe they want their players back from Battlefield II.

Hmm...so maybe..just maybe someone in Activision was actually listening to the PC gamers?

We shall see......

Sure would be nice. Can't seem to get into BF2 as much as I did COD4. Don't care to have control over vehicles, planes or helicopters but the realistic approach between COD4 and BF2 is not what I had hoped for. One can only hope the change will be made and Black Ops will bring the COD gaming community back to the front lines.

No “Public Server Files”: Confirmed
Many of these game features are predicated on having a trusted host or server. Otherwise these features would be wide-open to easy exploits and rampant cheating. Also, anti-cheat solutions can be significantly more effective on games that rely on trusted servers. We chose against “public server files” in favor of providing full feature support and protecting the integrity of this title. This doesn't mean you won't have customization or admin capabilities with your servers - because you will. This simply means we've partnered with an exclusive server provider.

GameServers.com Exclusive: Confirmed
We have partnered with GameServers.com as the exclusive provider of dedicated servers for Call of Duty: Black Ops. Every dedicated server for this title will be running on top quality hardware and infrastructure with excellent bandwidth. There will be a ton of official servers at launch for everyone to play on for free. If you want to run your own server you will be able to rent one at a great price (which will never go higher than $0.99/slot). They are actively adding new server locations and staffing up to meet global demand. If you don’t see your location you can suggest it here: http://www.gameservers.com/blackops/
