Subject: DEDICATED SERVERS H4

I'm all for a dedicated server. I mean yea it black screens a lot because of quitters but you also get the games where it starts off on a terrible host and lags really bad. Or you get the games with foreign players and their bad connections. When I played GoW3 I barely experienced lag or anything. Dedicated server is the way to go.

I am from Djibouti thank-you very much.

@Major: You asked for reasons why people would be against dedi-servers and I supplied some.

I don't think they're worth it.

Hopefully 343 dump the entire engine.

At least dump the whole 'Host Record' selection, just open to exploitation.

Lol smoothmouse. Your not against dedis because of any of the reasons you listed. You're against them because they would benefit the other 99% of the world while not improving your ass end, 3rd world connection. P2p just makes you a god 1 out of every 30 games when you host.

No it's that I don't want to pay to support third world children.

Even for a dollar a day.

$10 bucks a month for live is enough already.

Leave well enough alone.

Don't you have a rice paddy to sift through somewhere?

Halo 4 will not run on servers.

No need, with the cost of maintaining servers around the world and the fact that servers can actually CREATE lag, it really is pointless.

Now, an example of how it can create lag:
Say I want to play matchmaking with a full team of players who live in my area, we get matched against another bunch of players in our area, but the closest server is 250 miles away, now instead of having basically zero ping with the p2p model, we are forced to route to the server and experience +50 ms lag.

Servers are only really needed when the game is setup for GIANT matches, like Battlefield does. But since Halo is best played 4 v 4, FFA and MAYBE the scattered 8v8, servers would be a pointless expense causing more problems then it solves.

Especially considering how good the net-code is in halo, i mean, if one good thing can be said about bungies work with reach, it's the netcode
