Modern Warfare 2 has been out for a while now and yet it still doesn’t have dedicated servers even with the constant complaining of the community. Sure, Infinity Ward has a legit excuse for it, sort of, but what is a PC game without dedicated servers? Aliens vs. Predator developer Rebellion has taken the note of this and has announced today that the game now has dedicated servers. Of course, it’s included with a pretty hefty patch that throws in a bunch of other stuff which you can check out below.

General

• Stability improvements to address rare and infrequent hangs
• Implemented a workaround for missing audio issues with certain hardware (SoundBlaster X-Fi, Realtek onboard, etc.)
• Fixed save games being lost or corrupted if connection to Steam is lost or if user switches to offline play

Multiplayer

• Added client-side support for dedicated servers
• Ranked match lobbies will no longer end after every match
• Fixed XP being incorrectly affected by offline play (though only in the local stats; this will be corrected next time you connect to multiplayer)
• Fixed other players sometimes appearing to have the wrong weapon or continuing to fire indefinitely after dying
• Fixed rare issue where players would be temporarily invisible
• Fixed some selection of servers and players in menus sometimes being incorrect
