    I don't have a console myself, play on PC, but was wondering how multiplayers on consoles work, do they use servers the same as pc or is it all peer to peer

    Mostly its P2P. COD4, GOW are P2P. I think HALO3 might have a dedicated server inside Bungie.

    it's the one downfall of console multiplayer that it's mostly peer 2 peer. it's a great shame tbh and it's one of the reasons i don't play online on consoles at all it's just too unpredictable.

    I have had an xbox since 2005 and i think (bear in mind its near three years now) i could count on one hand how many times there has been really bad games due to using p2p, i play alot of cod and i used to play cod on the computer and i wouldnt go back, tbh the only thing i would change about multiplayer has nothin to do with the connection

    alot of the time when i play online the p2p works fine, just the odd time everyone will have high lat and sometimes the host gets annoyed because he is getting pwned and ends the match

    IMO, that is one of the biggest downfalls of P2P.
