NOt all servers are ran like that.
not having admins mean asshats and hackers can have a free for all just like in SWBF. That is why I don’t play it. Lack of admin support ruined that game.
Ya’ll are crazy if you don’t think BF1 will be on dedicated servers. Do you really think it would be P2P or host based?
Edit: I see know the discussion is for RENTABLE servers. My apologies. Food for thought though, when was the last BF title that did not offer rentable servers?
Battlefield Never didn’t offer dedicated servers. 
Does this mean that there won’t be any Battlelog in BF1?
Battlefront & Battlefield are two very different games, I would doubt Dice will create a BF1 with Battlefront’s features. In every Battlefield game there has been sever browsers so I see no reason for dice to stop now, the problem is many people are thinking Bf1 will be like Battlefront.
I’m positive they will tho, I mean why not lol
For veteran Battlefield players, a server browser for Battlefield 1 multiplayer matches may seem like it should be a given. However, there was some doubt that Battlefield 1 would have the feature, thanks to DICE’s Star Wars Battlefront not having a server browser. That proved to one of many controversial decisions DICE made when developing Star Wars Battlefront, but at least the lack of a server browser was mitigated a bit by Battlefront having dedicated servers.
Lack of a server browser and admin ran dedicated servers killed SWBF for me, not to mention the lack of content. A server browser and admins is an absolute must. BF4 proved, with official servers and SWBF lack of admins, they can not keep the cheaters out.
Bottom line; No server browser and no admin ran server mean no bucks from me.
I am hoping for rentable/user administrated servers, but the talk of persistent squads and “dedicated servers” leads me to think it will be closer to CoD or Battlefront than the way BF has done it in the past. I feel it is critical for the PC community is to maintain the ability to run user administrated servers (rent-able servers) for multiplayer play. The though of a Battlefront style of matchmaking (even if they had “dedicated servers” and persistent squads) would prevent many gaming clans who play BF4 currently to not continue in BF1. Squad size in BF4 is limited to 5, so even if you had persistent squads, gaming clans could not play more than 1 game in a row together, as their separate squads may be reallocated to different servers at the end of each game. It also allows for admins to control for activities that their group find unacceptable (hacking, vulgarity, racist comments…).
on twitter the devs confirmed that it will have a server browser like bf4 does so you should have no worries.
I 100% agree…waited 25 min the other day trying to find a game to play. i just unloaded the whole game. If we do get them I bet just about the only thing an admin can do is add and push maps.
Yep DICE is on a crusade to kill server administration for no good reason really. I would think diversity is a good thing. Then people can find servers they like to play in with custom rules so more people keep playing the game.
I guess this logic is too hard for DICE.
Because we have no idea what DICE have planned until they annouce it 
No server rental info. I don’t think it is going to be good news.
You gotta stay positive. Hang in there!
Not the only reason…but i do love reading those John Snow youngsters saying RIP Cod after Infinity warfare without realizing the community actually left after MW2
There were more games made after MW2?
LOL
if DICE get greedy the franchise will get left behind, there will always be good alternatives
I can give you many a good reason to take private servers off the community.
The complete abuse of the system by bad admins is the main point, you guys that run your servers think you have saved the game, no you didn’t. Just because you are still playing with your mates from a decade ago isn’t saving the game. For every member your private no nade spam, jet spam, sniper spam whatever bugs you server rules to keep your members happy. You have lost thousands of potential players who venture into your server only to be badminned out of the game and just give up on multi player and go back to the single player.
Then there is the boosting…
And does anyone play unranked servers??? DICE let you completely customise the game for matches and yet does anyone out there utilise this feature at all ??
And then the rotations, 24/7 metro plenty of them. Try and get a game of chain link, carrier assault, defuse (best game mode imo) but any servers.
I wonder how much better Hardline would have fared if the 24/7 Hotwire no kill servers never appeared.
We can say the same for keeping private servers. Do to the players using cheats or stat padding. But the blatant use of hax is the biggest reason to keep private servers. Go play on official servers. Lot of cheaters there.
Hey didn’t Dice make a game where there were no private servers. What was the name…
Oh yeah SWBF the big epic fail. Players going on 100 kill streaks. Yeah that game lasted a month before every PC player ditched it.
Hey you get a choice, if you don’t like admins banning you because of your downloaded skills then just go play on official servers or rent your own private server. Show us how it is done.
You honestly think DICE is going to pay for 1000’s of servers themselves? The “Rented” server community provides over 99% of all the servers available.
Just for insight does anyone know how many “EA/DICE” servers there are for BF4?
