A LAN party is a temporary, sometimes spontaneous gathering of people together with their computers, which they connect together in a local area network (LAN) primarily for the purpose of playing multiplayer computer games.
These LANs come in various sizes, from the very small (2 people) to the very large (6500+ people). Small parties can form spontaneously, but large parties require careful planning and preparation on the part of an organizing team.
The term 'LAN party' is sometimes incorrectly applied to gaming centers and internet cafes. Although offering comparable services, LAN party events differ significantly in that they are generally BYOC (Bring Your Own Computer) and are not permanently set up.

Ok, So with MW2 having no dedicated servers, does that mean people on Lan parties will have to log in to their network to play locally?
