New here by the way.

Why is a Halo server more expensive than a Call of duty server.
But I just noticed this. Is it because the RAM and CPU usage?

Our servers are priced based on machine usage generally so likely Halo takes up more machine resources than CoD does and that would make the price difference.

Ah I figured it was something like that. I guess you can't really expect Halo (being 10 years old) to run efficiently.

Halo uses lots of CPU power, unfortunately. CoD uses much less.
