Rentable Battlefield 4 servers on the way for consoles

4.4
Committed Battlefield 4 players will soon be able to rent their own dedicated servers to power online multiplayer matches on consoles, Electronic Arts announced.

"Indeed, it is coming," Battlelog manager "EA_Stiv" confirmed in response to a user question regarding rented servers on the PlayStation 4. "I'm afraid we don't have any information on this quite yet, but it is coming soon! Keep your eyes peeled on the Control Room and Battlefield blog, as those are most likely where you'll see it announced first."


Electronic Arts previously hosted a server-rental service for Battlefield 3, leading to public server shortages as rentals exceeded anticipated demand. An implementation date for Battlefield 4's server rental service has not been announced.

Oasis Rent a server was good at first but kinda ruined it after a while. They should put a limit on how many can be active at any one point, while still keeping public servers up.


They only did it for profit, nothing more.

This is a whole new change for consoles, I say they will do this for Minecraft as well.

Not really happy about it seemed like every time I would have a good game the person who rented the server was on the other side and kicked me! Hopefully they take that out or have something different to ware they can't kick you for doing good! o_O it gets kinda annoying!

Console gaming is gonna change because of rentable dedicated servers. Never thought this would be a real thing, but there's probably good money involved given the demand.

That would be really cool if they do it. I would be using this for sure to have legit multiplayer matches.
