dedicated server vs "start game"

[Gir]

if you want to have some mp fun in unreal, you can choose between "Join game" "Start game" and "launch a dedicated server".
Well, I understand the first and the last of those three option, but what does the second option? I´ve tried it before. It´s like a normal mp game, but for some reason nobody seems to be joining.
If you want to "start" a mp game, doesn´t that already make you the server?

Fuzzy..

Presumably the middle option starts a "listen server" where you can play yourself. People tend to avoid listen servers because the server player has a ping of 0 and they often tend to perform badly too.

Is your server listed on the ingame browser? If it is not you need to go into the advanced options and change the setting for it to true, it is something like DoUplink under networking/master server but I have never done it so someone may correct me.
