battlefield has huge lag issues and a whole lot of glitches that haven't been fixed . battlefield may look good but the gameplay is extremly bad . who jumps over a fence feet first with no hands ? thats weird . battlefield you can't even see the enemy , you might , might , see the muzzleflash , but by then its too late . Call of Duty will remain king . dedicated servers would mean an end to the multiplayer after an amount of time has been elapsed . idk about you but i wanna jump online 5 years from now and still be able to play this game online .

Warhawk and Socom Confontation Where very smooth running games 95% of the time on the PS3. Lag didn't happen very often and to think this was 3 to 5 years ago, peoples internet connections have gotten much better since then.

 

Who cares if they shut off the servers in 6 years. I don't find myself playing my PS2 games anymore. Servers are never down for more than a couple hours on a weekday night so I wouldn't factor that in.

 

Don't know why your sticking up for the shitty way COD does it.

You and dope must share a common past time...

1. COD has had lag in every title. Remove the rose tinted glasses.

2. BF3 has horrific lag... with dedicated servers.

3. I care that the servers are down sometimes at night since that might be the only chance I get to play (I have those pesky things called a job and a family).

4. The servers would be shut down or migrated to the new title within 24 months of release - max.

5. You have zero idea as to the cost of setting up and maintaining so many server infrastructures or you wouldn't mind listen servers either... where do you think they pass on the costs, genius?

You're on the XBOX subforum... who cares if the 10 people who play SOCOM Confrontation on the PS3 had a good experience. No one was playing the game... that's why they worked okay (which they didn't... I played that nightmare of a shooter).

A decent 24 man server would set you back £20-£30 a month. I don't even want to imagine how much it would cost a month to run enough servers for 500,000-800,000 players, keeping them all within respectable distances for every cod player.

 

 

yikes.

if you search my username and the word dedis ive actually listed the vast costs involved a few times.. if you cant be arsed to look to give you a rough idea.. they would need roughly the entire infrastructure of world at war in EACH server centre dotted around the world
