Will UT3 for xbox have dedicated servers or be host driven?

I'm just curious if we are finally going to be relieved from the stupidness of a "host"? I would hope that a game like ut3 that thrives on speed wouldn't be unfair by a lame 0 ping host. I played unreal tournament for 5 years on dedicated servers so making that switch not only to giving up my mouse and KB, but having a host as well? If they do have dedicated servers i think they would have a host option for smaller matches.

All of the Unreal games released on Xbox had the option for dedicated servers. I hope this one is no exception. Epic and Midway even ran some dedicated servers for UC2 for awhile.

Were they all epic servers? I'm wondering if its all going to be epic servers or if you could rent one through a 3rd party company? They would make so much money if they only implemented some way to rent servers even if it was only epic and microsoft servers. Most of the time when they leave out dedicated servers it's due to the upkeep and the hassle financially. I don't know though.
