Call of Duty: Black Ops II PC : No mood tools, servers no for rent combined with matchmaking sistem

We just have receive the news that MOD TOOLS wont be avaiable this time for pc players due to increased technical requirements, licensing restrictions, and technology dependencies " BS i would say" and the worst pc players wont be able to rent dedicades servers with custom rules even though Treyarch asure us that there will be plenty of servers for everyone 




here is the rest of the information 


What anti-cheat will be used?

Anti-cheat is a top priority for Call of Duty®: Black Ops II. We have developed our own proprietary server-side anti-cheat technology which will work alongside VAC to deliver the most advanced detection and banning capabilities of any Call of Duty game to date. We have also improved our player reporting system to make it the most effective way that you can help us catch cheaters. And starting on launch day we will have a full-time dedicated pc anti-cheat team focused solely on detecting and banning cheaters. We have a zero tolerance policy on cheating. Cheaters bans are permanent.



Will Black Ops have Matchmaking or Dedicated Servers?

Both! Call of Duty®: Black Ops II PC combines matchmaking with secure ranked dedicated servers. This means that you get into Public Matches or League Play via matchmaking lobbies. It is easy to party up and play with your friends. You can adjust your classes or scorestreaks between matches. It also means that every Public or League match is hosted on a dedicated server running in one of our high bandwidth datacenters around the globe.


Will you release the server files?
No. We are keeping the server files secure to protect the game from hacking and cheating and ensure the ranking and progression system integrity.


Can I rent a server?
No. We are providing a huge number of servers around the world at no extra charge – plenty for everyone to enjoy. And we will administer the servers.


Will there be mod tools?
No. As we continually improve and advance our in-house tools for our own content teams we are unable to provide consumer tools due to increased technical requirements, licensing restrictions, and technology dependencies.

Nintendo's wii U console and games will be region locked !





Nintendo has revealed that the Wii U will be region-locked once it releases this November, so those of you who had plans to import certain games are fresh out of luck.

This means that games bought in the U.S., Europe, or Japan can only be played on a machine from the same region. The majority of Nintendo’s past hardware has been region-locked so it’s no surprise that the Wii U is also, however with both Sony and Microsoft allowing developers to choose it’s odd that Nintendo would decide to force the option.

Of course this is only an issue if you enjoy playing games that don’t always get a release in your territory or come out earlier in another

According to executive producer Mark Darrah Dragon Age 3 has been in development for two years “with the bulk of our efforts ramping up about 18 months ago.”

It’s being built by the team behind Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2, and will feature a “more expansive world, better visuals, more reactivity to player choices and more customisation.” It’ll be powered by a new engine based on Frostbite 2 technology.
