Dedicated servers or P2P
Just want to try to confirm 100% weather this uses Dedicated servers or Peer to Peer. Really hoping it uses dedicated.

Thanks.

You sure? Its not peer 2 peer connection, so no player is hosting the match correct? If so then great, but dam there are some laggers!

I've experienced 0 host migrations so it's a pretty solid reason to say it's on dedicated servers. Laggers are annoying, but lagging on dedicated servers pose more as a detriment than an advantage.

It's a Hybrid P2P dedicated server to be more precise. Unlike true Dedicated server (not refering to Rentable or Browsers), it still connect you to any region with variying pings. So, you will still meet foreign gamers.

It's 100% dedicated server for ranked matches on BO2.
Hybrid system is on Ghost and Advanced Warfare..

If you want an official answer, just ask PCDev on Twitter.

All multiplayer ranked is only on dedicated servers.
Multiplayer custom games are p2p the one who creates the game is always hosting.
Zombies public matches are p2p, the game chooses best (mostly worst) host automatically.
Zombies solo is local hosting.

Yep, it's dedi's in ranked play although lag compensation can be blamed for some truly shocking connections on some games.

Yea, I bet they didn't rewrite the netcode for pc, though I do love how treyarch has dedicated servers just for us (All Treyrach Cods on PC)

That's what they want you to hear. Of course they tell you it's Dedicated Server.

You need to know what is P2P Hybrid Server. It will always shows you the Server IP, what behind the IP address are hidden from you.

This makes you think is a Dedicated Server but in the real world network, everything is hidden from you.

It is useless trying to convince you.

Or you're just completely wrong, yet who cares. BO2 is great, and so far the best for a multiplayer experience in CoD.
