And then they get voted out, unlike a dedicated server with AWOL admins.

Doesn't really make much of a difference...?

First off, the ability to vote kick someone is a best case scenario. I don't actually know any MM systems with that in place. Second of all, if the admins are AWOL, then the server will most likely be empty. Not only that, but if someone with a bad connection joins a dedi server, he does not ruin the connection of the other players. They all still have fine connections, because they are communicating with the server, not the shit connection kid. He is the only one with a piss poor connection.

Cooperative and Competitive multiplayer games have different requirements to be fun. Generally, to be fun, a cooperative game needs the maximum allowed players, while competitive multiplayer does not.

The lack of the ability to ban players is going to kill the game.

It killed H2V.

I doubt they'd leave players with no ability to get rid of laggers or griefers.

I think you'll find that a lot of game servers are relatively full while no admins are on. I see it all the time.

Yeah, he just warps like mad. I sure do love getting a headshot on a guy only to have him teleport across the map and a magical bullet somehow hit me in the head.

They took out dedi servers, I doubt they care.

I'll give you this one, but they generally have a reason to be there.

Host>Client. The game will be like that for him, not you. His lag will not effect you. HE IS DICTATED BY THE SERVER, not the other way around. You will shoot at him and it will register correctly, because the server has placed him there. He will be the one who is shot by a magic bullet after being teleported half way across the map.

I described the difference. Different requirements of entertainment require different means to aquire them.
