Well, it has been a rather sad week. Now, there has been a few statements coming out of Infinity Ward these last 24h and they don't look promising. It seems what will replace dedicated servers (like our The Graveyard) would be players with the strongest connection, player hosting. I'm not going into detail about this, but if you have ever played Left 4 Dead you might know what I am talking about. Either that or read these articles.

Why dedicated servers are important
What used to be on COD: Modern Warfare (centralized dedicated server at a provider which fits the user, and the possiblity to customize and close the server at your liking)
And what will be on COD: Modern Warfare 2 (1. Private host, 2. IWnet hosting)
It would be decentralized hosts which in my view gets forced on you, not by choice.. Or a private host which probably won't have the capacity to provide more then a few playerslots at a time. I'm not even sure you would be able to change the config besides settings that is provided in-game.
I don't support the personal attacks on the community manager, however. It's wasn't his decision.
