Since they’ve told us that Halo Master Chief Collection runs on dedicated servers (Even though all the games I’ve played were P2P) and that Halo 5 was running on dedicated servers, that brought up a question for me.
Will it purely be matchmaking, or will Custom Games and Co-OP campaign’s also get dedicated servers? I really like hosting custom games, but with my poor internet I can only do it with a limited amount of people (If I’m really lucky, I’ll be able to squeeze in nine other people before the lag for everyone makes the game unplayable). Does anyone know if for Halo 5 custom games will get dedicated servers?
I personally really hope so, and will be quite disappointed if all they’re bragging about is dedicated servers for official match making. A game completely, 100% supported by dedicated servers would be something to truly brag about. At the very least if Microsoft isn’t willing to put down the money for their very own first party, AAA exclusive, that they have a “rent-a-server” option like what Battlefield does, where you pay money and they host your games on their servers.
