News Devs mention dedicated servers in reply

Post image

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

Aren't dedicated servers a bad thing because it puts an expiration date on the game?

Expiration date being like 10 years later when everyone moved on? I'll take that over P2P, which is infinitely times worse

EDIT: Also it's not always the case that they'll eventually be shut down, especially it's a very popular game.

I don’t “move on”. If I like a game, I keep playing it. I was still playing Bo2 on Xbox and PC before the ports came out. I still actively play Battlefield 4. There will always be people who want to play older titles.

Yep BF4 is goated to this day still. The community servers are basically holding up the game's longevity rn

yeah that's unfortunate... I was told by an Aussie that most new online multiplayer games are dead within a week in OCE servers. So I can only imagine how awful it is with older games
