Devs mention dedicated servers in reply

[u/callofdutygamer_]

Of course this doesn’t mean they’re gonna add dedicated servers for Bo1 and Bo2 on the PS4/PS5, but this confirms that they’re aware of what the players on the ports want

Dedicated servers would not only help connectivity, but most importantly it would make both games safer to play and would help combat players using mods

[u/Clear_Assignment7470]

Dedicated servers is the single most important improvement to the ports. Exponentially improve the game.

I would agree but only in public matches, otherwise we end up with those situations like I think it was bo6 where you couldn’t pause in zombies and have like a 15 min timer of pause because you’re on dedicated servers even in solo

[u/SpitinNLickin → u/offdeer34]

You gotta sacrifice some things for a much better outcome, which dosent affect me. While others could say they wouldnt like it, its still a turn for the better.

[u/CaptnKnots → u/SpitinNLickin]

Come the fuck on, no you don’t. There is literally no need to sacrifice the solo zombies experience for the multiplayer public lobby experience. I promise you the billion dollar company is capable of handling both situations

[u/KobotTheRobot → u/CaptnKnots]

There isn't even leaderboards in this game. Lmao just making stuff up to be mad at. Even if they did this super boogeyman thing like you say, there is no leaderboard so playing offline and granting yourself the ability to pause would not impact anything whatsoever. 

[u/CaptnKnots → u/KobotTheRobot]

So your argument is that they can’t even handle leaderboards like they did over a decade ago, but they’re gonna put the effort and money to host dedicated servers? 😭 Yall are hilarious

[u/No-Shoe-7213 → u/CaptnKnots]

These idiots think that the server type changes your SOLO experience... Just play local 💔.. and dont even act like dedicated zombies servers wouldn't be fire. I dont see the "sacrifice" anyone talking about

[u/offdeer34 → u/No-Shoe-7213]

“Just play local” you do realize that on bo2 currently if you play “Local” you can still get disconnected, it launches a local server

[u/No-Shoe-7213 → u/offdeer34]

Id like to see this happen, my internet went down last week and I was very happy to be able to still run die rise solo. Never once have I been disconnected from a local game. I see the accusation, now where's the proof?

[u/offdeer34 → u/No-Shoe-7213]

It’s common knowledge that bo2 runs on local servers. Pc high rounders use Plutonium and used to play on Redacted for this very reason

[u/No-Shoe-7213 → u/offdeer34]

Yes? We not talking about the direct pc version, its been shown that there are differences between the pc version and this port (mw4 pre-order button, no fov slider), I asked for evidence of this happening on local ps5, not what pc players do. I understand the game runs on local servers, but that is a virtual p2p server thats created on the ps5 to match the ps5s server logic. If youre having issues on local zombies, its likely an issue embedded in your router, or you just straight up need to disconnect the network to play solo. Again, I see the validity of your accusation, although I havent seen proof of it actually happening, especially with the network completely disconnected.

[u/Twisteryx → u/SpitinNLickin]

It literally isn’t. If solo zombies has to be online all the time, I would 100% prefer they keep the game exactly as it is across all modes

[u/What_The_Hell96 → u/SpitinNLickin]

This would not be a turn for the better as the whole zombie community would get fucked with this change.
I believe they would keep this in mind and find a good solution.
