Does it make a difference where the servers are?


Definitely. We will most probably see this topic very often this gen. Multiplayer-experience, cloud problems, PSnow-issues, download speeds, pings... A LOT.


In that case I think Brazil and Australia need it the most.

Why does Australia only get servers?? That country only has 20 million people.

Because we're in the middle of fucken nowhere but have a solid gaming culture with enough sale to warrant some attention (usually). We normally get servers from local ISP but since this game is hosted in the cloud only, ISP can't host shit.

So worse lag than CoD (or other online games running local ISP)?? Coz that gets fucking terrible sometimes

I'm not even sure they have dedicated servers anymore, I gave up on the series @ Modern Warfare 2 when they dropped dedicated servers. Still play the original MW but moved to Battlefield mostly, didn't get BF4 because of PC stability issue so this was my one hope for a decent online shooter for a while... fuck me sideways.

amazing power of the cloud right there.

Edit: what about all the stuff that supposedly runs on cloud processing?

They will use dedicated server but the US or EU... high ping... disadvantage for Australian players.


Wonder what Sony will do with PSnow for Aussies...


Easy there is no role out plan for Aus yet, so probably they will put servers there before they role it out.

You need a lot more than servers to deliver a good experience.

Probably the best place to start tho, your not going to want international latency times on there.

One can  easily  have better latency from Germany to US than US to US. Latency depends on a whole set of parameters.
