Please excuse my ignorance, but want to clear things up.
Will H5’s dedicated servers be nothing more than just dedicated servers to eliminate players from being host? Or, will I be able to load my Forge map in Customs, press “find players”, and my lobby will fill up with real players, or I could select, “find custom game” and hop right into a random player’s custom game?
I don’t think that they’ve talked about it yet. I imagine that it will work the same way that TMCC works now (not like how it did during launch) ― Forge and customs will probably be p2p.

No. Everything in Halo 5 will be on dedicated servers. No P2P at all.
Also from the post-beta blog:
> Allow players to set desired datacenter for matchmaking (may impact matchmaking speed and skill balance)
The matchmaking mp is “supposed” to be on dedicated servers. But MS is having a lot of problems with dedicated servers on the X1. MS advertised that all X1 games would be on dedicated servers, but that clearly has been a false statement. Hopefully this issue is resolved or improved by the time H5 comes out.
Any custom games you host or co-op campaign, will almost guaranteed be P2P.

There is no peer-to-peer system coded into the game at all.

Coop campaign is dedis as well, actually.
I believe customs as well, though I’m not as sure.

Wow if it truly is all on dedicated servers I will be very impressed. MS has really been struggling with dedicated servers. So this will be a huge leap forward if it happens. Keep in mind we were told the same thing about TMCC. Which is still hosting mainly P2P.

I wouldnt say Microsoft has been struggling with dedicated servers. There really hasnt been any game launched by Microsoft to need them except Titanfall and Halo MCC…1 works great and the other had so many issues that dedicated servers couldnt even fix

If you dont think MS has been struggling then you have not played very many X1 games. Every X1 game was advertised to be on dedicated servers. So every game should have been on dedicated servers. Very few are. BF4 is currently one of THE best running games on dedicated servers. Especially when you consider it is 64 players with land, air, and water vehicles.
As I said, if H5 truly has everything on dedicated servers, I will be impressed.

Do you have a link to that source? I don’t see anything that says “no peer-to-peer system coded into the game”.
Dedicated servers that allow you to connect via a server, and not a host.
However your question of people filling up your custom lobby at the touch of a button, is a no.

You will select a dedicated server and that will host games you play in. It won’t suddenly turn custom games into matchmaking, no.

When did MS say that every XB1 game is going to run on dedis?
And if they said that, was it,before or after they did the 180?
Microsoft announced Dedicated servers for ALL games when they announced the X1 at E3 2013. Many do not remember this announcement.

I still don’t see anything that says “no peer-to-peer system coded into the game” for Halo 5.
I’m sure once H5 gets older they will implement P2P for custom games etc so it can still be enjoyed, and the dedicated servers can be allocated to another game or H6.
