Dragoneth said servers in BF2 were EA provided because they used some default server name with EA in it. I was responding to that.
Dedicated servers were made for PC because if the host crashed the game ended. It was especially needed in early PC gaming when everybody had garbage connections. They certainly aren't "lag free" since you don't have everybody in your game sitting next to the server. I don't lag in COD btw. If it lags it finds a new host and we keep playing... I lose like 15 seconds every 20 minutes. The longer I stay in the game the more likely I'm host so I'll pretty much never drop.
@bold: No idea what you're talking about here.
Lol I'm pretty sure COD has more fans. After all the garbage things EA has done in the past it must be hard to say they care with a straight face.
Ask EA... I found that they offered rentable servers for BF2 on console. I searched console bro, already told you this lol.
I played CS for 6+ years and I faced a lot of lag on quality dedicated servers even though I was only playing with 10 people. I can't see BF's dedis being any better. They're paying for them so obviously they'll try to save money whereas we had a very good dedi for CS matches.
So tell me this, how is it that every person who has played CoD says they lag all the time minus you? I bought MW3 for 10 bucks and sold it to my room mate after I beat the campaign and played a little multiplayer so I know how that game works. My school has a 97mb/s internet connection so don't even pull up the "derp, your internet is slow, herp a derp". I beat the campaign on the hardest difficulty and I got to level 27 on multiplayer so I spent a good amount of time on this game before I tried to bash it. And now that my room mate has it I still see him lag/drop games/migrate hosts.
lag is completely gone in BF3, it's history. Why? because it has dedicated servers. that's the whole point of dedicated servers - to not lag. I'm sorry but this is the 21st century we're living in and if a game developer doesn't wanna spend the extra cash on some servers then they don't deserve my, or matter of fact, anyones money. I don't understand why you people spend 60 bucks every year on a game that literally has the same content as the previous years Call of Duty...
