Dedicated 'Peer' Server Option


(Nosferatu) #1

Hello,

I was wondering if there will be a Dedicated (Peer) Server option in the game for the console versions? I am very enthousiastic about games wich feature large numbers of players, since I am a console player this is not always so obvious. Most gamers only have modest connections, wich usually results in laggy sessions.

Sadly, I have read the FAQ @ the Bethesda Forums and have been informed that BRINK will not be supporting dedicated servers for the console versions.
This brought up the question of a rather unknown option which is the Dedicated Peer Server where players can make there own servers and make it Dedicated, this usually makes a big difference for the players actually playing. I know that such a feature exists (e.g. UT3 for Xbox 360) and altough common players would not use it very often, some with above average connections like myself wound’t mind setting up such servers.
Renting of such servers is not as impossible as it was before and certain clans or game sites have already set up such servers in the past. Although the game would have to feature map cycles, this shouldn’t be very hard to accomplish.

And as such I would like to suggest this as an easy alternative to laggy sessions or expensive servers.

Thanks in advance

Interesting, like setting up your own server for a LAN on PC.

But if you are playing and have such a great connection, I would think you would automatically become the host anyway and the effect would be the same (except of course your advantage for having a zero ping).

Unless the entire internet is running from YOUR console you cant have zero ping, it would be like 6ms. i get your point but i just wanted to add that in.
