Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One: Call of Duty Ghosts getting cloud-powered dedicated servers, console bundle revealed

tuscaniman99 on 20 August 2013

Um I already have COD:Ghosts preordered for my Xbox One. If they are bundling it for free then I'm switching my preorder. I can't imagine they would do this. If they do then MS already won NA.

Okay I may be wrong, but didn't the 360 have dedicated servers for games even before this? Like this is big for Xbox One no denying that at all. Not sure what everyone is talking about and asking why others aren't posting.....that's kind of weird.


Not for COD.

I'm asking if this is exclusive to Xbone. If so, wouldn't you say that's big news?

Are you sure? I could swear I always heard people talking about COD online being better and less laggy on 360 because of dedicated servers. And I said it is big news thought already lol



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

So what's the story, will the PS4 offer dedicated servers for Ghosts? If not (which I can't imagine is the case) then that would be a HUGE blow to Sony. It seems like this news would qualify as some sort of megaton, no? I'm just surprised that this thread has so few responses for something potentially so big. What am I missing here?

If Sony or Activision are willing to pay then i would say yes.

It will surely not gonna be free with every console that's for sure, unless Microsoft is willing to pay every single game to Activision.

Because we are all assuming it will have dedicated servers on PC and PS4 as well.  In fact I swear they already said they will on PC somewhere...

On PC probably, since that is Windows/Microsoft and can use the same cloud/server tech pretty easily.

On PS4 I wouldn't be surprised if games are still stuck using P2P unless they decide to pay for servers on maybe a per game basis or make the publishers fork it up for servers.  Gaikai won't be ready till 2014 and I don't think Sony has ever once mentioned having dedicated servers as part of it or any other offering.

As a competitive multiplayer person, if Sony does not do dedicated servers, they will lose lots of hardcore gamers after a while.

and having servers is not enough.... location of said server is important.... if the closest one 4 thousands miles away.... might as well be P2P.... so even if Sony or activizion pays up for dedicated servers they won't have the coverage MS cloud has.... so I can confirm you right now COD MP will be globally better on XB1 and PC no doubt about it...
