But understand that it’s not a dump truck, it’s not something you can just dump stuff on. In other words, don’t clog the tubes.

Why must everyone quote that stupid line? :rolleyes:
Better AI… although really humans will always be better?
Cause its funny.
Besides with the new technology. Everything getes cheaper. New stuff comes out on a 6 month basis. And the prices fall with the same speed. Who needs cutting edge stuff when you can have decent stuff for loads cheaper with a minimal loss of quality.
As for the whole connection thing. A 6 Gb connection from the server is nothing if the client doesnt have a high connection.
The server has to have a fast enough connection in order not to lag. But its still very important that the client has a fast connection.
If you join a server that has a connection speed of a few GB/s and your own speed is still 1 MB/s your ping will act as if its 1 MB/s not the connection the server has.
The server connection only matters when there is a large amount of clients joining.
Lets say the server has a 3 GB connection and the clients all have a 1 GB connection.
4 clients would cause the server to lag cause each of the clients uses up 1 GB where the server can only work with 3 BG at a time. Its like an overload.
With that eliminated pings in the numbers of a few microseconds are actualy possible.
Better AI, AI that has a sense of self preservation in shooters, not bots that just run at you with no thoughts of living or dying, a bot that’ll take cover actually, set up complex schemes with others to challenge you in getting out of a tough situation.

They are pretty competant but using the old bot strategy works well against them. Imagine recording someone’s playng style into a bot. That’s awesome. Entire teams of me! Woo.
Gameplay
I want gameplay in games! as of late, they all (read 90%) lack gameplay these days..
Yay Nintendo for having a platform that is open for fungames rather than GFX-whoring games.

I thought the idea was to make the game harder? 
Yeah, that’d be a pretty good play enhancer. The problem is, you can’t record someone’s playing style, because you’d have a profile for every single player who ever played to cross-referrence to see how their style changes in differing circumstances.
I know I don’t play the same way against one player as I do another.
