Dedicated servers aren't in the friends & family beta yet, they will be running off the dedicated servers after the 18th. Right now, it's still host, that's why there's no migration.
I got mine from ExpertZone, that Microsoft shit, but they stopped working after awhile, not sure how many people got it, I got lucky I guess.

25th code is already given away.

Did this section not know about the ExpertZone beta keys? I thought about posting the instructions on here but figured everyone would already know <_<

The beta is amazing though. I probably played less than 10 hours on the first 2 gears combined and have already passed that in this beta. Dedicated servers are the SHIT. Connection is crisp as hell, it's amazing.

I suck ofc, getting better.

If there was a host, there would be host migration. Dedicated servers (i.e. the server is the host) makes host migration a non-issue.

I haven't heard anything about the dedicated servers not being used right now, but if it's P2P then something crazy is going on since the gameplay is extremely smooth. I don't know of any time I haven't been able to kill someone or any individual has just run through an entire team like they could in Gears 1 or 2.

There still is a host with dedicated servers. I forgot why but w/e. If the host quits though the game doesn't pause for migration it does it in the background.

Yes, everything is extremely fucking smooth. Close to no issues at all. Game is premium.
