Call of Duty Ghosts gets dedicated servers on all platforms
The Xbox One and PC versions were already confirmed for dedicated server connections, but in a statement released today, Rubin explained that both current and next-gen console versions will use a combination of dedicated and 'listen servers'.
"Dedicated servers will be used on current gen, next gen and PC with Ghosts," confirmed Rubin.
"And, in order to make sure that people have the best possible experience regardless of platform, location or connection, Ghosts will be using a hybrid system of dedicated servers and listen servers. So no matter where you are the game will always be trying to give you the best online performance possible."
'Listen servers' are those hosted on the console of an automatically designated host player, which is most common in console games today. But they come with the disadvantage of the host player having the best connection, and the game needing to migrate to a new host should the designated host quit.
Rubin says the game's matchmaking is also improved. "There is also some great new tech in the matchmaking system that will place players in matches that have the best combined overall connectivity performance," he said.
Activision has confirmed a Call of Duty: Ghosts release date of November 5 on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U and PC. The game will also be a launch title for Xbox One and PS4.
A premium edition Xbox One will be released in Europe with a Call Of Duty: Ghosts download code included, it was confirmed at Microsoft's press briefing at Gamescom in august.

Watch they just lie to us and the servers actually aren't dedicated and they just said it to get more people to buy their game.

Falsified At least when the "host" dashboards, it will keep you in the game. Thank god!
This was such a huge problem in the other cods.

It is great that dedicated servers will become available to all platforms as it means we won't be having to deal with poor hosts as often. Whilst it'll be some time before they're introduced, it will be most certainly worth it.

Neuro Amazing news for me! I'm getting it for xbone and ps4
That will be a hefty price tag to dish out in the same month.
I'm most excited to test out the dedicated servers on PC.
