The news that Star Wars Battlefront won't use a server browser, choosing instead a skill-based matchmaking system, was met by mixed reactions from fans. But now, DICE is back with some news that will possibly go over a lot better. The upcoming shooter will use dedicated servers for multiplayer.
Lead designer Jamie Keen told PlayStation Lifestyle at Tokyo Game Show, "We'll still have dedicated servers. Absolutely. It's one of the hallmarks of making sure we deliver unparalleled online servers for the game." Battlefront is a multiplayer-centric game, so it's nice to see it use dedicated servers. Other up and coming high-profile games that use dedicated servers include Halo 5: Guardians and Call of Duty: Black Ops III. A beta for the Battlefront ,not locked away as a pre-order perk but open to everyone, will begin in early October across Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. Meanwhile, the full Battlefront game launches on November 17 on all systems. In other recent Battlefront news, DICE has confirmed how Hero characters, such as Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, will work in the upcoming game.
