Sounds like a leading question as if you don’t think I know what cloud services are. A dedicated server is, by definition, physical server that is purchased or rented entirely for one companies needs. So it is managed and controlled by EA and the specs of it are also controlled by them. Also when they go down they go offline (as we seen with server rebootsreboots). With cloud services, while they loose control on the servers and how they are configured, they gain the advatage of fully virtualized systems that are up and guaranteed by the provider. They are easier to manage and expand and cheaper to have in multiple locations. This would help the whole no servers in my region issues.

I don’t know where this comes from, rented servers are only way to go with Battlefield. Variety of options they gave us in BF3 and BF4, with BF1 options are more Limited because RSP is limiting choices. I would not call Battlefield as Battlefield without proper rented server options. ---

Dedicated or Cloud (virtual) does not matter to me, just want functionality we had since at least BFBC2. For those who like Official, no one wants to take these away from you. Go play on Official and leave us alone. ---

I saw that video and what he is not saying is this. DICE and EA have no plans at this time for RSP or 3rd party servers. Do not expect more than what we had in BF1. My sources told me EA and DICE does not want RSP at all. Take it for what it is worth. Everything I have been told has come true to date. Remember, in BF1, there were not supposed to be servers. Do to fan out cry, EA gave in and a month before launch, they did make the announcement of servers to launch 1 month after the game launches. Since then there was very little changes to RSP. As it is, it is a complete joke. As of right now, DICe is now focused on RSP and they are not working on RSP at this time. If EA and DICE are not talking about it, then it is not in there. ---

Yeah, its sad the game is turning into COD. Now don’t get me wrong, i had some fun with COD in times past (it has its place). But nothing says awesome like Devs and Publishers telling you what maps you will play and what you wont play. That is coming for BF just like it came for COD. Nothing more frustrating when there is a game mode of map you want to play but all you have is a play now button with zero options…That is the future you guys have to look forward to. I abstained from BF1 because of all this garbage and it sucks, and makes me honestly a little bit sad having grown up playing the BF games starting with 1942. ---

I like Titanfall but it’s server solution is the worst, followed by Starwars Battlefront 2. And if BFV goes this way it will be dead here in Australia on PC within a month of launch. A continuation of the current RSP with improvements is the best we can hope for. ---

Well be prepared! There are not going to be dedicated servers (PC anyway). Dice/EA knows this will kill BF5 just like BF1. If we were getting dedicated servers, dice/EA would be promoting it. ---

> [@wpcat](#): > > There are about 40 of us in our community and I know another community with about 50. Very few people in each bought BF1 and those that did are back playing BF4 with the rest of us. If EA doesn’t come out with dedicated servers most of us will not buy BFV either. Some are even talking about COD..Good God, what has EA done? Add my clan 177 members and I know of other clans would join in, literally hundreds of gamers that will not buy BFV (5) if the servers are going to be like BF1 garbage.
