Aliens vs. Predator WILL support dedicated servers

Friday 20-Nov-2009 8:42 AM Developer finally confirms support
13 Comments
When we quizzed Aliens vs. Predator developer, Rebellion about its third-party dedicated server support last month, it was more than a little cagey with the answer. In fact, we had to ask three times.

Now, finally, the developer's contacted CVG to give us a definite answer to the question: AvP WILL support dedicated servers on PC. Hallelujah.

Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley said in a statement: "Despite rumours, Rebellion has always been planning to support dedicated servers for AvP PC and we can now officially confirm that this is the case. Rebellion has always appreciated fan support. We're really looking forward to the release of AvP as much as you guys are!"

It's nice to see the developer holding on to its PC heritage. Now, if only Modern Warfare 2 could do the same...

Read our hands-on Aliens vs Predator preview for the goods.

Splendid news! It appears that I was mistaken in my expectation that they wouldn't support dedicated servers. This is one occasion where I do not mind being wrong whatsoever! Smile

Its unfortunate that now developers have to actually announce the inclusion of dedicated servers when by rate they should be a given. Anyway good on Rebellion for actually caring about their community
