Titanfall dev explains why it's using Xbox Live Cloud
Speaking with both Microsoft and Sony to find an inexpensive way to have "potentially hundreds-of-thousands of dedicated servers," Respawn found a solution with Microsoft's Azure servers. "The Xbox group came back to us with a way for us to run all of these Titanfall dedicated servers and that lets us push games with more server CPU and higher bandwidth, which lets us have a bigger world, more physics, lots of AI, and potentially a lot more than that," he wrote.
"With the Xbox Live Cloud, we don't have to worry about estimating how many servers we'll need on launch day. We don't have to find ISPs all over the globe and rent servers from each one. We don't have to maintain the servers or copy new builds to every server," explained Shiring. "That lets us focus on things that make our game more fun. And best yet, Microsoft has datacenters all over the world, so everyone playing our game should have a consistent, low latency connection to their local datacenter."
Recent changes to Xbox One's digital rights management plans aside, the company is going ahead with a $700 million expansion of its Iowa data center, which will be used to support Xbox Live and other services. To read all the technical and business reasons Respawn is going with Microsoft's Azure system, head on over to the company site.

ShadowBoltDashieOrigamo Titanfall will be good. It's a shame it doesn't have a campaign though.
Yeah that is a small downside but if the multiplayer is simply amazing then it will make up for it.
Agreed, if the multiplayer is great nobody will cry about the singleplayer.

HDITeRRoRiZeIbigchukka This game looks amazing. I will like to see how this matches up against COD.
I agree. COD looks the same every year, and these sacked Devs come along and prove Treyarch aren`t trying. Kinda sucks for Treyarch Devs. I would happily switch from COD to TitanFall anyday.
Sadly Treyarch is actually trying with the CoD series. If it wasn't for Zombies, then CoD would be dead.

I agree with both or y'all this game does look incredible I like to see how it goes up against CoD to
COD won't even compare. Battlefield 4, GTA 5 and Titanfall all will top COD.
