The gameplay is fine and is very fun but the graphics are no killzone killer as some lead me to believe they are pretty standard. My biggest problem is the online servers why arent there any dedicated ranked servers? hosts just leave some are laggy and unplayable i mean WTF atleast give us the option like warhawk. If 360 users pay to play in non dedicated servers like this i feel sorry for you. the gameplay is great just a shame about no dedicated servers ruining what is a good game

Why does everyone think dedicated servers are that great? Multiplayer is multiplayer and a server is a server.

Also I love the graphics nothing is wrong with them.

the graphics remind me of PC CoD 2 and when ur relying on the hosts connection and for them to stay a few games compared to a all day/night high speed dedicated server especially for a ranked game when ur trying to do well i dont mind non dedicated for friends to play etc but ranked i want something reliable

Dedicated Servers are more personal , can be modded and genrally have much better connections and no "Finding new party" hassle.

Games can have dedicated servers or not, it depends if the developers think it's necessary or not. Also, I dunno why cows thought all ps3 games would have dedicated servers, that's not the case.

OMG, have you ever played an MP?

There's quite a different between a stable server and one that can lag-out or drop out all together.

although Killzone will be much more immersive imo, the level of detail in the characters in CoD4 so far is much bigger...

they are better than standard.. (although i'm playing the 360 version, but i don't think the there is much difference).

PS3 version is having MORE lag after the 2.0 update.

Because you didn't buy for the PC, that's why.

It does not completely matter if you are on dsl or not. Might be that your ping is low. I have dsl and my ping is at 21ms

I've been kicked out of laggy dedicated servers a lot more than a host's connection has dropped. And about the modding, consoles will probably never support user content and console users probably wouldn't pay for dedicated servers so yeah.

hmmm probably for features like text messaging, private chat, standard chat in every game, demos and trailers unlike PSN which updates like once a month with new demo + partying up with friends is easy coz of invite system etc etc also i read only 2 ps3 games have dedicated servers and cows act like every game has them.....dedicated servers mean devs have to spend money on them so i dont think giving money to MS means all games will have dedicated servers

I hear what your saying and it does suck. it is like playing on Live but on Live when the host leaves someone elses becomes host and the game continues. Only time a game really lags out is when host has a badconnection.

Dedicated servers means no lag, you don't have to wait to join games, and if the host leaves the game just won't end. You can play Resistance with 40 player matches and not lag at all. In CoD 4 you can have just 12 people in the room and lag like hell because of the host's connection. Also I have been trying to get in a game for the last 5 minutes now with dedicated servers you don't have these problems.

That's why you look at the ping before you join the server.....not that difficult.

NO NO NO.

Dedicated server can be just as laggy as a P2P. It depends on everybodys connection speed who are in the current game.

Usually dedicated servers are less laggy but to say they have no lag is untrue.

I own a PC lan gaming centre and play on dedicated servers nearly everyday and some can be extremley laggy.
