Boycott Crysis 2 until we get Dedicated Servers

Topic title.

Each and every multiplayer game should have dedicated servers - just played 1 game for a break from lagless MAG and cringed after a game FULL of lag from P2P, shot entire rounds into people, they don't die, they shoot me twice, I die, killcam shows me standing there doing nothing for an easy kill multiple times in a row. Definitely not my side - especially now that my PS3 is wired to the router.

Any gamer - Any PS3 gamer - Any FPS fan - Should all understand that dedicated servers are required for a decent multiplayer experience, the fact that so many developers are refusing to implement them to save money is stupid - especially when we pay £10 extra compared to the PC - who get not only better graphics, which I can live with, but also dedicated servers, is just a joke.

Developers should not be allowed to get away with such criminal action. My game will be getting traded in at CEX on Thursday if we get no news regarding dedicated servers coming to Crysis 2's PS3 retail version, and I will not support a developer who uses P2P - no matter how good the multiplayer is, because not having dedicated servers ruins multiplayer, since it makes the game come down to who rolled host - not who has the most skill.

I hear what you are saying,but calling MAG lagless?! WTH are you talking about?! That game is running on only two servers for the whole world.It lags pretty bad at times for sure,but it is more consistent than Crysis 2 MP,I'll give you that,and the fact that it's running with more players.
