Here's some disadvantages to Peer-to-Peer hosting.
-It is very difficult to keep all peers synchronised. Minute differences between peers can escalate over time to game-breaking paradoxes.
-It is very difficult to support new peers joining part-way through a game.
-Each peer must communicate with all other peers, limiting the number of connected players.[3]
-Each peer must wait for every other peer's message before simulating the next "network frame", resulting in all players experiencing the same latency as the player with the worst connection.
PvP lag starting to make more sense?
Advantage of a dedicated server?
The foremost advantage of dedicated servers is their suitability for hosting in professional data centers, with all of the reliability and performance benefits that entails. Remote hosting also eliminates the low-latency advantage that would otherwise be held by any player who hosts and connects to a server from the same machine or local network.
So.....the question is....why is Bungie being cheap and not paying for a dedicated server so we can have better a better PvP experience? Cause they don't care about you, just your money. :)
