South African importer and distributor of interactive video games, Megarom, revealed today that South African internet service provider MWEB has formed a partnership with Gameservers.com to exclusively host the online multiplayer portion of Call of Duty: Black Ops.

This partnership between Gameservers.com and MWEB is apparently a first for South African internet users, and will allow for “a superior network experience for online multiplayer gaming.”

MWEB Group CEO Rudi Jansen said of the announcement:

“This is another partnership that is in line with MWEB’s strategy of collaboration with key providers to deliver a superior Internet experience. In this case not only for the benefit of MWEB customers, but for all South African Internet users.”

Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer matches will be hosted at MWEB’s Cape Town and Johannesburg data centres, and non-MWEB customers in South Africa are also promised to see benefits from this local hosting partnership, seeing as how they won’t need to connect to international servers in order to play online.

Director at Megarom (which will distribute Call of Duty: Black Ops in South Africa), Jason Borea, also commented on the partnership:

“It’s exciting that MWEB recognizes the market of online gaming and that they strive to bring these large gaming titles to locally hosted servers to improve the gaming experience for South Africans.”

Call of Duty: Black Ops launches worldwide on November 9th on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
