AusGamers was given a chance to attend a pre-E3 event for Activision's forthcoming line-up, and while we can't talk about everything we saw just yet, we can show you another interview we conducted with Treyarch studio head, Mark Lamia, for Black Ops II.
We sent one of our new guys over to LA to check this one out, Mr Naren Hooson, but due to audio issues, we chose to present his questions as text over the video so as to maintain the high quality of production here. And, as usual, we also have a written transcript of the full interview you can check out as part of the full interview feature. Here's a taste: I’m happy to talk about the PC. We have a PC team that’s dedicated to the PC version of the game. We even message out and communicate through our Twitter channels to the PC community. There will be... we are optimising our engine for DX11. There’s a more efficient system we’re working on, a proprietary anti-cheat mechanism for the PC specifically.Click here for the full video interview feature, and be sure to stay tuned to AusGamers for more on Black Ops II as we close in on E3 as well as more from Activision's 2012 stable.

I'm guessing no mod tools like in COD4 and W@W either. Can't "ruin the integrity" of their game by not "playing it the way it was meant to" now can we....

Black Ops by Treyarch had dedicated between those two games.
For me it's a must. I tolerated the match making on MW2. MW3, i couldn't tolerate it. The latency in game just ruined it for me. Basically being the same game i've played before. There was nothing at all the over look that issue.
So as much as I think Black Ops 2 could be great. I won't buy unless there's proper dedicated servers.

Would make little to no sense for them to ignore all that work they did on the dedi server software previously and screw over the PC guys.
I'm never buying another MW franchise game though, I can't play MW3 for more than 20 minutes before getting a headache from the FoV and the matchmaking is absolute bullshit. Apparently it fucks with your rego based on framerate and latency and shit.
When you play a game and feel like 9 out of 10 deaths were you being cheated rather than outplayed, a game loses all fun.
