This was just added to the latest patch for the PS3 version.
I posted this in the PS3 section:
Not sure who is getting to test this out but at least one person got a beta version up a running for a bit.
I posted this in the PS3 section:
We'll be releasing the PC Dedicated Server for PS3 clients as a beta in the next few days.
What this will allow is game hosting companies, that traditionally don't have consoles available to host from, to host for PS3 clients on their PC farms. It additionally allow them to take advantage of the numerous features that a PC application can have that are more difficult to implement on a pure console run dedicated server (auto reboots, remote administration, local ban lists, etc).
This is 1.0 for the industry as far as we can tell, so expect the occasional bump, but we think this will improve the quality of play for our PS3 customers significantly.
To be clear, this SHOULD NOT be looked at as PC players and PS3 players playing together. PC players won't see the PC Dedicated Server for PS3 Clients in their browser for instance. It is strictly to allow folks who want to run a dedicated server for the PS3 audience to do so without sacrificing their actually PS3.
