I believe the cloud processing is and will be very beneficial for the future of Xbone. The people here dismissing the power of the cloud really doesn't understand the fact that the power difference between these consoles is huge. Without the power of the cloud the differences would be much bigger. You're getting a game with 12 people in it, some AI bots, lots of action. It wouldn't be possible on such a weak hardware otherwise.

So how have PC multiplayer games been absolutely amazing without the magical power of MS cloud processing???? What do you think servers are some new fangled invention made by microsoft and given a fancy description and called cloud processing???

Most PCs (and PS4) have the power required for those multiplayer games. Xbone doesn't have enough hardware power to play modern games. Hence the cloud processing is required to play those games. This game is 6vs6 with probably small-medium sized maps. If the cloud processing wasn't there the game would be 3vs3 without AI on even smaller maps.

The other platforms does not need cloud processing. Xbone needs it.
