It isn't a "standard" dedicated server in a couple of important aspects.

#1, it scales back and forth automatically thanks to MS. They need more servers, Azure fires more up. They need less, it doesn't. There is far less overhead and effort needing to be put in place here by Respawn, placing server farms all over the world.

#2, the cost. MS made it cheaper than any other option Respawn had.

So yeah, DeadBigFoot is entirely correct in assuming a Titanfall PS4 port minus the MS cloudy goodness would not be as good. It would be using your "standard dedicated server", which probably means EA's servers, which likely means garbage. It also means that in 2-4 years the game could become a $60 coaster since both EA and Sony have been shutting down dedicated server games lately.

Thankfully you can also buy the PC version and get the same MS cloudy goodness.

lol The Infinite Power of the Cloud.

Azure are standard servers too... a big cluster but they are nothing different from other small clusters.

Cloud is a markeing word because that already exists even before the Internet lol

Idk, it's a tough choice but I'm going to side with Respawn (you know, the guys actually making the game) and common sense over the guy who is going to downplay anything MS no matter what.

Yeah I know. Who to believe. Respawn or ethomas? The guy who reads things on gaf and then comes here and posts like he knows about all the technical stuff.
