online gameplay

Does anyone know if MS has implemented dedicated servers for the Xone? I hear different tales, but i dont see how they could be on DS, as ive met Xone users online with my 360.

The main concern, or feedback im looking for is online gameplay. As we all know the 360, was and still is plagued by the most horrid un-even gameplay possible, due to connection/Latency problems, or mnore to the point, so many players online with $2 walmart
internet, run through their netgear wireless router. I was hoping that MS had (easily did) added the feature where as you sign in to live, the Xone ran a speed/ping test to a dedicated server, and then only matched you with players with very similar connections.,
On the 360, ive been told it matches you somewhat with players/teams with similar rank/skill and connection....It doesnt work, at all..as i have seen a known noob(my son) run through seasoned players like a hot knife through butter due to the fact of latency
issues.Bottom line is, MS can a far better job of creating a more even/balanced onl;ine play experience. So has this issue been addressed? Or is the Xone nothing but the same ole crappy gameplay, filled with 10k apps of fluff, making us feel like were getting
something better?

All EA games require you to be 14 and over to play on-line, regardless of the games rating.

You will have to wait till your 16 I'm afraid cos this game is rated M/16

 

After reading many articles relating to servers, like this link

www.gamespot.com/.../1100-6415607

I foolishly used the "Chat Support".... At the end of the session, i decided i too wanted a job where i get paid to know absolutely nothing about nothing. Seems MS isnt letting any "Real" info out about dedicated servers, the betterment of online gameplay
etc. Again, all i see in the Xone is a lil faster CU, perhaps a lil better detail in games, and a whole lot of Fluff i dont want...Maybe im old, but 99% of my gaming is done online, and better online gameplay (Less Lag) is the number one, alpha, issue that
needed to be addressed..

 

Isn't it the Xbox ambassadors that run the chat support? Firstly they're not paid and secondly it's extremely easy to become an ambassador as long as you've been with live for awhile and have a good reputation

 

Huh? Seems there is 2 different chats m8, the Mods(ambaas..) and then theres direct MS help chat, where you connect with an asian that knows nothing...I honestly dont think they know how to wipe their azzz without trying to read a pamplet 1st... Bottom line
is, Xbox one gameplay is still crappy, just like the 360. MS stand point: they made ungodly amounts on BO2 using the P2p hosting, so they bring out another system to generate more revenue, using the same old sytem(online)...MS uses the fact of online paly
with people from all over gods creation as a selling point, when in fact, its a downfall due to high latency(lag issues. MS needs to provide dedicated servers all over the US so you will only be matched to people on the same server/s. Much less packet loss,
less latency/higher pings = alot better/even gameplay. On top of that, it would be a easy fix for MS to run a ping test on each player as they signed into Xlive, matching them with very similar connection speeds....As a player, i couldnt care less if im playing
with some bloke in canada, or some transgender in Cali, I would much rather have a limited player field, and have better/smoother gameplay. BO2 matchmaking has gotten so horrid, 99% of the games have well defined lag issues...But as i said, why would MS spend
money on things that should be addressed, when people are still buying their systems, only to *** and moan about horrid online gameplay.

 

you ignorance is showing, thought you'd want to know....

MS does have dedicated servers, but it's not up to them if game developers use the servers or not, so the reason CoD is using P2P, is because the game developers choose to not use the dedicated servers.

you should give Titanfall a try, it uses the dedicated servers, and plays very well, you can even choose what region to play in so you don't have to play with any them-there foreigners that don't kno how to speak 'Merica.

and yes, the chat support is in fact community provided and are not paid.

 

Titanfall and dedicated servers were AWESOME! I also believe the term is "'Murica" Lol. I could be wrong though.

Peace, J.R.

Hello everyone

..........

Dedicated servers are awesome

I remember playing Halo 4 Spartan Ops on the Xbox 360 without dedicated servers and it is such a massive difference LOL

..........

Have a nice day or afternoon or ngiht everyone

I do find it odd that any game company would choose to use a crappy system over a more stable system, if MS really has enough servers...Seems the game makers would realize, people would be kinda upset, with a chance of not buying their games...Sorta reminds
me of the charter communications company & the networks...They have their hands in each others pockets, but yet none is responsible for anything... Since you have vast knowledge(way more than i) will BO 3 be using MS servers, or will it be on the same old
hosting system?

MS charges a usage fee for their Azure 'cloud' servers. It definitely is not odd that any game company that already has their own servers wouldn't pay to use another company's
servers, even if they were better. Especially since people have become 'accustomed to' their servers already.

Funny thing about the gaming industry and gamers in general. People complain like crazy... while still buying the product(s)... and expect it to change.

Seems more businesses operate this way than do not, anymore.

JMPO, but the biggest problem with CoD and its lag is CoD... It's become nothing more than a yearly release, cookie cutter franchise. When they only have a short time frame to
crank out the next installment, they don't have much time to bother working on things like net code and getting the online engine up to date. I quit playing that lag infested series online after MW3 (which was a decent game). I've rented any CoD titles after
that, just for the SP.

The worst (talking connection and lag issues) of the games I've played since then, on their worst nights I've played them have been much better than any 'average' CoD session I
could remember. Not that there aren't still games that have issues.

I highly doubt BO3 will use MS servers... if they do, I may actually have to do a little poking around to see if people are giving it good reviews for online MP. If they don't,
I won't give it a second glance. Plenty of other games I can play with a lot less frustration.

 

Thanks for the honest reply @ Blue Illusion. Revenue is the bottom line with MS, Treyarch etc...And your correct, as long as they have bukoos of tweens buying their products, they have no need of addressing these issues. As being an old fart, im like you,
i'll not buy the Xone, nor the BO3 unless it has alot better gameplay... Think i'll check out Destiny for my 360.

 

There is nothing wrong with the Xones gameplay, it has far more stable MP on a lot of titles than the 360 and MP on dedicated servers as has been mentioned above. Your gamercard shows your love for all things COD, fair enough but don't blame the console
or MS for COD's failings.

What games on your 360 have you had crossover with One players on?

 

I'm actually surprised that the COD folks don't take Microsoft's offer up to any company to use their servers.

I'm not saying Microsoft's servers are perfect but over all they are the best servers I've played on ( from my experience with games like Forza, Titanfall ) and surely got to be better than what the COD games offer. I mean not long after every new COD game
is released, we start hearing about dodgy connections, host advantage etc :/

 

Yep all the MP ive done on the One has been a great improvement, Titanfall, Forza, Gears, not done any Halo MCC MP but does that run on MS servers?
