Dedicated Servers

[shroom]

Is there any chance of getting dedicated servers like in the original Halo PC games? Matchmaking sucks ass so custom servers and a server browser would be nice.

there will be an in-game customs lobby browser.

There!

So we can mod it in or wait for a customs browser.

No way you can complain about that.

There's crossed terms being used here.
"Dedicated servers" means the game being hosted on proper infrastructure, as opposed to being peer-to-peer and having the session being run on one of the player's devices.
This is used in the MCC.

What OP is asking for, I assume, is player-run servers.

Looks like they'll have it soon. Customs solves the rank conundrum too. Good stuff

That still won't give us the ability to create our own custom playlists. Sure you can join the game you want with that game browser but then when the game's over it'll load a different map and game mode (which is not what you want to play) you'll have to back out of the server and try and find another custom game again with matchmaking instead of just staying on the server.

Exactly. This guy gets it.

He just described what you're asking for..

Custom Browser is a bunch of player run rooms, with rules set by the one who opened the room, they end when the player shuts it down. It's player-run servers. Exactly what the guy who gets it described.
