Informations about Dedicated Servers and their provider
by roB:de
Do we play on Dedicated Servers?
Short: YES!
Finally we get the Dedi-Servers back
PC Gamers play on dedicated servers - console gamers still use the P2P system.
Which providers are available to rent a server for BlackOps?
Well, thats the negative point on the Dedi-Server-System of BlackOps. Treyarch & activision allow you ONLY to rent servers by the provider: gameservers.com. Activision awarded this kind of "exclusive-license" only to this one provider. So other companys are not allowed to rent out BlackOps servers. Well... thats how the Publisher-Hierarchy works.. But anyway... we got the Dedicated-Servers back - because of Treyarch. Cheers
Whats the price for the Servers at gameservers.com?
Ok, the price isnt the best - but it isnt expensive too.
