Ive still had games with players lagging, there is no magic fix to see here, people with bad connections will still have bad lag.

They also want to stop shouting about how all the AI is done server side, cos they AI is moronic.

But the game is still really fun!

I have a ping of 11 (US EST) and while some players are lagging, at least the connection to the server is always good. I actually really like this and see a difference between Titanfall and COD.

AI being done on the server side saves up CPU and require less bandwith, so it is still good :) (even if they are really dumb, but this has nothing to do with dedicated servers or even the bandwith)

But its dedicated servers so AI was always going to be done on the server, this is no differnt to how any games in the past work, the HOST always does the AI and if that host is a dedicated server then its a server. Its nothing new or special and should not be shouted about especially when its so dumb. 

I dont think you get it.  COD is PEER hosted.  Makes everything wonky, and introduces a struggle to compensate everyone fairly across the board, including the host.  I remember in MW2 i would DOMINATE as host.  No so much anymore, its a crap shoot.

 

Dedicated servers are LONG overdue from the stingy bastards at Activision.  I don't really blame them though, people are sometimes oblivious to getting rubber banded, instakilled, toe sprayed, etc.  It's maddening to me, and it sounds as if Titanfall has resolved some of that for low ping players.

This IS A BIG DEAL, because hopefully other companies, expecially ones raking in the cash from their franchises, follow suit.

i totally get it

But the BIG DEAL is Dedicated servers, NOT Host AI. AI has always happened on the HOST Didicated server or not dedicated server. 

Also dedicated server just remove host advantage and on average should improve pings as your not relying on some random persons upload speed. But if you still live somewhere remote and your pings still shit, it wont feel any different.
