And that's one of the reasons we are doing a Multiplayer Tech Test before launch. We absolutely will prioritize user experience over cost, and our goal here is to have the highest server reliability and to make sure we can handle the wall of users coming on launch.īut it is a whole new system. Let me be clear on this: all of our servers will be running in major datacenters, and we are obsessive about our requirements for performance and user experience. We want to be able to keep the game running even if an entire cloud service goes offline. And in addition, we're going to also be running on servers on what we call 'bare metal' machines, which are just racked servers around the world. We want the fastest server spin-up times and the best performance on the servers that they are running. They are working with Azure, Google, and Amazon to work out the best possible way to use each service. it's an entirely new system that no game has used before, and Respawn felt strongly that we should work with Multiplay to build this new service to meet our needs. This isn't something that EA had already built

We have been working with them as they built a brand new service for spinning up servers on a variety of hosting services in a way that both scales at the highest rates and also provides the quality of experience that we demand. company called Multiplay, who have a ton of expertise in game server hosting.

We want fast servers running everywhere, ready for you when you want to get into a match. So this time we're still running on Azure, but we’re also on the other clouds as well as 'bare metal' servers running in datacenters. Since Titanfall 2 will have a bigger launch this time, I wanted to make sure that we have the highest possible scalability and reliability, and have low-latency, fast servers. So Titanfall 2 will continue to run entirely on dedicated servers for AI, physics, and all of the player movement that you loved from Titanfall. We considered it a big success, and proved that cloud-hosted servers are something we should keep doing. Titanfall was hosted on a Microsoft service that ran on Azure. So, let me elaborate about how we're going to be running our servers this time. I've seen the anxiety that some gamers have had since then. In my previous blog post, I mentioned we have a whole new system for running our massive army of servers.
