Infinity Ward hope to add server browser and rent-able ranked servers after launch

Infinity Ward’s Mark Rubin gave an update regarding dedicated servers for Ghosts, and also mentioned further features they hope to add post-launch.

Having given an update on Ghosts connectivity and dedicated servers, a Twitter user asked whether Infinity Ward plan on introducing ranked dedicated servers as seen in MW1, MW3 and Black Ops 2 (PC).

Mark Rubin responded: “Matchmaking onto dedis. Hoping to add server browser and rent-able ranked server once we get through launch crunch. no info yet.”

This would once again give PC players the freedom to join and run their own dedicated servers with custom game rules and map rotations.

The Battlefield series also introduced rent-a-server capabilities to consoles during the release of Battlefield 3 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 – this is a feature we could potentially see introduced for Ghosts (unlikely, but possible)

Mark Rubin also reconfirmed work on mod tools for the PC release of Ghosts on Twitter having responded to a further question by the same Twitter user:
