Meet the par

So maybe CoD 4 set the par pretty high. But with the millions dumped into game production why can't we see more dedicated servers? Should I just roll on back, kicking and screaming, "I wanna smooth FPS!"

Personally I found Ubisoft's big budget shooters Ghost Recon: AW and Rainbow Six: Vegas featured terrible online performance destroying any desire in me to play those games online. Across the four games (both series and their sequels) I witnessed horrendous framerates, jittering animations, and crashing servers. But hey, Ubisoft ain't the only one guilty, have you "played" Battlefield (1943, BC 1 & 2) and GTA IV online?

These aren't small little productions, but products from companies who've made their names on production value. OMG! How's Red Dead Redemption gonna be online! *gulp*

I've had very little problems with BC2. they had some shaky servers in the beginning, stats being reset and the like.

MW2 works fine, it has great netcode as does Halo 3.

GTAIV and Red Dead, I definitely agree that those need some reworks and need dedicated servers ASAP. offer great online, but you just can't put those two on a P2P connection.

That's true, but on a technical level RDR will be very similar for shear budgetary reasons.
