Why would you have to choose between the two

Devs aren't going to waste resources on coding two things and creating their own server infrastructure only to end up losing money as a result. It's also a bad idea to split the playerbase of a multiplayer game.

I'm not going to actually check, but there are at least 100 games with both dedicated and custom servers.

keythatismusty OP t1_iycjkkd wrote on November 30, 2022 at 11:39 AM

And how many of them are on the level of CoD/BF?

BF2042 launched with the portal, which is what you are asking for. Actually, battlefield has always had custom servers. Not sure what "level" you're looking for

I didn't know that. Thanks.

This sounds like original Counterstrike 1.6 or Counterstrike Source.

Honestly what do you gain from archievments?I would prefer a modable variant and don't give a crap about the archievments

keythatismusty OP t1_iycjbzb wrote on November 30, 2022 at 11:36 AM

> archievments

Not just achievements.

Unlockables.

Unlockable weapons, outfits, armor, upgrades, etc. You may say you don't care, but think of all the people that grind BF/CoD in part because they want to unlock the next toy.

Well let people mod for a couple of months and see what is more interesting between a weaponskin and darts Vater as playable character

Why not both? Look at some Valve games, like, TF2, L4D, they have official AND community servers

I’d still prefer Quake 3.

If you could have a Call of Duty type of game where players are allowed to create, run, and mod their own servers, but there are no achievements/unlockables because of all the cheating in that regard, or we stick with the current system, what would you prefer?
