Anyway, so in the usual, expected, tradition of game breaking news, it would appear that CODAW is deficient in dedicated server options.
I installed the game last night (an hour and a half to install from disk, plus an additional 2.5GB of updates), but didn't get a chance to play. Had a brief look at the MP launcher this morning before work, and I only had the option to 'Join Game', followed by picking the game type. It then started searching for games... i.e. no server browser, it looks to be entirely peer-to-peer.
So, if you're thinking of this as a competitive option, we'll need to see if there is a dedicated server option added later. Given that Ghosts never had one, I'd be surprised if they add it to this game.
I reckon I'll enjoy the game regardless, purely for pub fun (and the SP campaign looks quite decent too), but I don't have high hopes at this stage for it's competitive viability.
