Dedicated servers confirmed for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

4.7
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will support dedicated servers, developer Sledgehammer Games has confirmed.

In an interview with Stevivor from earlier this month, Sledgehammer Games’ Michael Condrey answered the question of whether or not dedicated servers will be supported by Advanced Warfare.

“We’ve got some announcements coming. Yes, we will be supporting dedicated servers and there will be announcements soon on which providers and platforms. I can’t answer just yet, but you can let your community know that it’s coming,” he said.

Advanced Warfare will be the second game to support the technology after Ghosts.

Dedicated servers present arguably the best way to experience online multiplayer games. Rather than relying on the quality of users’ internet connection (peer-to-peer), dedicated servers let everyone connect to a server close to their location, providing a much more stable and level playing field.

The Battlefield series has been utilising this feature for years on consoles, and it’s certainly nothing new for PC. Battlefield even lets users rent servers and have better control over which maps or modes they want to run. Call of Duty has always relied on the ‘playlist’ model, so dedicated servers would generally be handled by the developers.

Advanced Warfare is out November 4 worldwide for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Miss This is probably the best news I've heard yet for AW. I was so tired of migrating host and dashboarding kids.


Inb4 private match costing $10 for a day.

-Excuse from SH for more money.

But knowing its possible they could just have peer to peer for private match.


Whatever is going to make them money, they'll try and do. Doubt anyone would pay that much though, lol.


I remember BF4 private servers were like 50 dollars for a month. Fun until the hoster was a douche.


BF4 servers were NEVER $50 for a month. I hope CoD does get dedicated servers but not like BF4 Dedicated servers where you can rent them because sometimes the Owner of the Server can be an D-bag.

I'm really hoping this turns out to be a good game. Dedicated servers are a positive, but if i'm not mistaken, Ghosts had them, but only so many. When the were all full, it was back to players host's.

Grimlock Didnt they say this about cod ghost and never came. Just hopefully this will happen.


If I am not mistaken, Ghosts now does have dedicated servers (at least on the Xbox 360.) It didn't have them at launch, but after some updates, that does appear to be the case. At least, connections have been a lot better, and I haven't hit a "Finding new host" screen in a long time. I do hope that the servers are day one though (well, day zero in this case.) They should be on the new consoles at least.
