    Dedicated servers vs legacy online gaming


    I am wondering what is the difference between dedicated servers currently advertised and old ways we used to play MP.

    To my understanding is that now we connect and play on a server directly, if that is so how was it done in the previous generation?

    :)

    One thing i cannot stand, Makes me genuinely angry.

    I could have sworn Microsoft boosted about dedicated servers during its prelaunch bullshit, and I mean they made it seem like dedicated servers for all games

    We are paying for an online service so here should be dedicated servers or at least dedicated servers for the top online games etc

    Epic is BS

    Once again the dedicated servers are on both ranked and quick match. Some of you simply have no clue when it come to online gaming. A large amount of you certainly can't tell the difference between p2p and dedicated servers.

    Dedicated servers vs legacy online gaming

    The old way was dedicated servers. That's how PC gaming worked.

    Consoles don't have a way to dedicate a console as a gameserver, nor would most want to (ties up a console and a copy of the game). Devs came up with ways to run the server on the same device as one of the clients. While there are some true peer-to-peer multiplayer
    titles, most are the client-as-server model.

    Client-as-server has issues. It means the client functioning as the server has to have enough upload bandwidth to serve all the clients. It also means if the client-as-server device crashes or goes offline the game collapses. Dedicated servers don't have these
    issues.

    to summarize:

    old way: client as server, in a way one of the users is acting as a server

    new way (for some games): you connect to a standalone server?

    There are exceptions to every rule. I'm speaking in general and I pointed out why it wasn't done in the general case.

    Dedicated servers vs legacy online gaming

    so, for the likes of btf3 when dice added servers for rent, it was a server like client console? so basically ppl who rented, they rented a user's console acting like a server?

    It's entirely possible to do, just no developer incorporates the feature, neither does Microsoft incorporate it as a standard feature of the system. It was done for Rainbow 6 Vegas on the Xbox 360 if anyone remembers?
