Call of Duty: Black Ops To Support Dedicated Servers

Lower the pitchforks and put out those torches, PC shooter fans. Treyarch has confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops will in fact include dedicated servers for online play.

"I think dedicated servers are excellent,” Treyarch head Mark Lamia recently told PC Zone magazine (via CVG). “I don't see any reason not to see [use?] them unless...well, I just don't see any reason not to."

And while Infinity Ward caught heat for forgoing dedicated server support for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in favor of the multiplayer system found in the console versions, Lamia says both systems have value.

“We're working very hard to marry those two things, so people can run dedicated servers and also participate in the communal experience the console players get to have, given they're all on first-party servers."

So what say you, PC gamers? Dedicated servers for Black Ops sound alright with you?
