Titanfall multiplayer is going to suck in SA

I agree with Electric, wait until we have established results. Games designed like this is highly optimised, especially on Azure.

Take note that there is only ~24 (may be more today) Azure CDN nodes across the world and not all serve the closest connection as they are limited to routing, peering, capacity and availability. When MS deploy on the earliest in the EMEA region in regard with our continent it will be at this stage not entail SA, IMO.

Let’s wait and see...

I think that's why we say we want to see what happens with the Beta before the final decision. But I agree, if you're gonna be lagging consistently even a little bit then this game is gonna suck because you'll literally be a sitting duck (not effectively but enough for them to run circles around you) to everyone who's not lagging.



But for a general question is this going to be MP based or will one have SP capability ? I think I totally missed that.
 
MP only, a SP sort of story line is built into MP

Nope PC and Xbox get the same deal since all the AI and other content is cloud generated. It's not just about the fact that the servers are international it's the fact that the actual game content is.

I don't think anyone in SA will get a key. They want us to buy the game and find out that online sucks for us.

Plenty of locals already on the Beta with both Xbox and PC.

So far it doesn't seem to be going too badly.

Australia also doesn't have Azure servers and they seem to be quite happy with the Beta so far.
 
Been playing since yesterday, I have a ping of about 215-220ms. Very playable, one doesn't really notice any lag with all the action taking place. This game has some of the best sound mechanics that I've heard in a long time. From the operator reminding you that your titan will be ready in 2 minutes, the sound your titan makes when dropping from orbit and the sound it makes when running around. It's an engrossing experience one can only see and feel for yourself.

Once the beta is over, I'm placing my pre-order most definitely :D
