Or, you know, stop freeloading andget your own server.

Besides, it's not like there's a dearth of TF2 servers that aren't full.

I like p2p systems in games, they keep a healthy amount of game types alive, by creating serves based on people playing that game type means there never isn't enough. I remember trying to play some game types on CoD on PC just having so few servers it was hard to find a good match. It sucks when you can't find a server and just move to another game type that's more popular, theres probably a lot of people that would have been playing the game type you want but also couldn't find a server.

With that being said, p2p doesn't allow custom servers. I wouldn't mind both being around on pc. Dedicated for custom/modded servers, and p2p for the times I just need to play.

A party feature was added in the MvM update that let you add your friends to a lobby and then enter the matchmaking process to join a server for the gamemode of your choice. It will work with the Halloween event. You are doing it wrong.

Of course dedicated servers are better than P2P, anyone with a brain knows this. There are some games on consoles that are dedicated like Killzone, Battlefield, Resistance etc....

What's sad though is PAYING for P2P online gaming. Not to sound like a fanboy, but that is just plain stupid.

Okay, I'll bite: why should gamers care about the implementation details? (And before you list the advantages of dedicated servers, keep in mind that they can be used as part of a matchmaking system while still abstract to the user.)

I never said they should care. I have no interest in listing the obvious advantages of dedicated servers. I have been in a few CS clans and had clan servers and admin rights. I like playing games with a ping lower then 20, p2p latency is into the hundreds making everything rather pointless.

Matchmaking systems hinder skill progression, the only way to get better is to play against better players. I realise that auto-aim and hitbox sisze make skill somewhat redundant in console multiplayer however.

Just pointing out the fact, consolites can hardly see the advantage of dedicated servers rahter then p2p if they have no idea what either means. Certainly a relevant observation for this thread, which if you took the time to look was started by a consolite pc hating peasant.

I would say get off your high horse but at this point the fall would more then likely kill you.

Obviously the meeting organiser is mistaking you for someone else, just keep quiet and hopefully no one will notice.

Especially someone that has a high end system like he already stated many times before and a triple monitor setting I believe,not to mention hundreds of games on steam.

That´s not a consolite,it´s just someone trying really hard to be included in a group that quite a lot of people around here from the same "group" don´t even want to be associated with him(console gamers,not consolites) and yet he talks like he´s part of them all the time,you rarely see a bigger hubris than his.

I mean,even the term consolite is only used to some console gamers that are really ignorant of the PC and spread nonsensical bulls*** all the time,the others are console gamers,yet he identifies himself as the former,it´s obviously one of the biggest try hards in these forums,why people still respond to his nonsense is beyond me.
