MWeb gets exclusive game
MWeb will host Call of Duty: Black Ops exclusively in both its Cape Town and Johannesburg data centres to ensure maximum gaming experience for its customers. The partnership with Gameservers.com will reportedly be a first for South African Internet users, allowing for a superior network experience for online multiplayer gaming. The title is scheduled to launch worldwide on Tuesday 9 November 2010.
Non-MWEB customers will also see similar benefits from the local hosting of the game as they will no longer have to connect to international servers. Online gaming will be a key focus for the ISP, where it will be optimising its network to accommodate future top gaming titles hosted in South Africa.
Aiming to improve the gaming experience
"This is another partnership that is in line with the company's strategy of collaboration with key providers to deliver a superior Internet experience. In this case not only for the benefit of our customers but for all South African Internet users," says Rudi Jansen MWEB Group CEO.
Megarom Interactive, exclusive distributors of the retail version of the game in South Africa is pleased by what this means for the future of gaming in South Africa. "MWeb recognises the market of online gaming and are bringing these large gaming titles to locally hosted servers to improve the gaming experience for South Africans," says Jason Borea, director at Megarom. The company is expecting queues of gaming fans at retailers across the country on launch day.
