Video Game News - Call of Duty Black OPS 3: How will Multiplayer Hosting and mod servers work?

Published November 5, 2015

Dedicated multiplayer servers are confirmed for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

PC is 100% dedicated*, while PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will use dedicated servers and/or P2P based on the best possible connection/latency for the console user.

Matchmaking priority is connection, not skill, so this will determine the the connection type for console gamers. (p2p or server)

Remember dedicated servers doesn’t eliminate Lag/Connection issues, it’s possible to have a worse connection on dedicated servers then P2P, but the alternative is also true.

*PC being the exception, there are 100% dedicated server and there will be no P2P with the following exception: private matches.

Private matches will be P2P, however there were rumors that unranked (meaning no XP) rent-able servers might become an option later, but there is no 100% confirmation as of yet.

PC will also receive a mod tool kit in Q1 2016 for game and map modding!

Mod servers will have full server browser to find the exact server/mod/map combo you want. The assumption is that Modded servers will be un-ranked.

From the Treyarch press release:

You will be able to create Maps & Game Modes and more!

We will include Unranked Dedicated Server Files with the tools so you can run servers with modded content anywhere you choose.

We will provide an Unranked Server Browser so you can easily find and join servers with modded content

Closed Alpha target date: March 2016

When I asked my mom where I was from she said they caught a wild ape and shaved it… she weren’t joking.

This primate has an unhealthy obsession with all things tech and pc gaming and when not in front of his Battlestation he can be found roaming the Cape wildlands with his motorcycle.
