Just yesterday Microsoft explained how the Cloud could be used to empower games and drive entire worlds, and that the “logic” of Titanfall is run entirely on Microsoft’s Azure servers, even when you’re playing by yourself in the tutorial.
Am error message shows the weakness of that solution when the cloud is used to run the entire logic of a fast paced game like Titanfall.
Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
Windows Central: "Titanfall 1 is being sunset, taken off storefronts by EA. While the servers remain live for now, one has to wonder just how much time it has left. I look back and pay tribute to the last "twitch"-styled shooter I ever truly loved."
Sales for the original Titanfall are being discontinued.
It will be pulled from subscription services on March 1, 2022.
Physical media. Unfortunately the way games are going these days game servers will eventually be shut down and you can stare at the menu and wish you could play the game again.
It's an online MP game, the message states the connection was lost. Dropped connections are not uncommon when streaming movies and playing online. I think this is just a sensationalist headline.
ya cause no online game ever disconnected smh its a always online game so of course is you disconnect you cant play it..did the guy plug out his router did his service provider have a black out smh who the hell approves these articles
I've had numerous friends tell me about connecting issues on Titanfall. They all have great Internet, so the problem isn't on their side.
99% of the time Titanfall has EXCELLENT connection, the fact that this article is getting approved at lighting speed just shows how much people want to jump all over it any chance they get. Older articles with no approvals and the article right after this talking about how good the cloud is has two...then all the sudden here is this article with a spike at 9 in 30 mins. It's the internet, it's not perfect... By no means is this representative of the Titanfall typical experience.
Side note, what happened to this article?

It got approved, and then just disappeared...why? If you scroll and look for it you can't find it, the only reason I could is that I had a notification for it.
@abriael thanks for the heads up...it's a legit question, I hope it doesn't come across "conspiracy theory like" but I wasn't talking about the top bar, it never made it to that I don't think...I just mean if you scroll through ALL past articles (right now it's from 1 day ago) if you look where it should be...it's just not there, and there are other opinion pieces still there...just not sure why ANY approved article would be deleted from the feed.
I mentioned this in another topic--I was wondering how MS planned for fast-paced intense calculations; they mentioned the calculations can be ahead of the game by 2 hours without Internet, but they only demonstrated it with a very slow and deliberate application. Fortunately, it was caught early and it can be improved going forward. I get that the XBOX One was originally an online-only console (where this would've worked just fine in all instances), but it does warrant some concern for the future games.
Thankfully, Titanfall is online only, so this is fine (provided Cloud disruption only comes from the Live service disruption; if they can be disrupted separately, I can see this being a problem). Getting kicked out of a single player game for this though...that would be a problem.
