That dream was never going to happen. Doesn't matter how powerful these machines get, devs will still sacrfice frames for visuals.
There isn't one, but there is a link to MS announcing free servers and a link to Titanfall 2 using using MS cloud.
You are wrong, simple as that. Accept it and move on.
No worries. Microsoft will rise when the Scorpio 2.0 releases with full Ryzen CPU or whatever comes after that. Arms races are fun.
Apparently it's a pretty damn good deal on 12 month Live subs also, even better than the gift cards.
I think he meant to say Titanfall was a console exclusive to XBOX (Even though it was on PC).
Yeah but in the past it's been claimed Xbox has no exclusives cause you can get them on pc as well 
Lots of interesting things shown thus far...
Adventures - Is replacing Grimoire cards and essentially are 10-15 minute missions where you accompny an NPC who tells you about the lore of the world. Upon completion you get given a map which leads to loot. Not sure how many there are, but there must be alot if want to keep the lore strong..I would imagine some will be linked too, if you recall The Book of Sorrow it was a long, highly detailed set of cards. Thatkind of detail needs to remain in this new system.
Weapon Mods - Unclear what these will be, but I think it will be more significant than just a skin/shader and will be an attachment(sight, extended mag, etc) or maybe a rune type system that buffs the weapon or changes how it works.
Exotics - The fw seen or implied to be have been interesting, the Gally inspired grenade launcher looks good. However, it is the Exotic armour that is pleasing me most. In D1 the exotic armour was very meh visually for the most, But in D2 I saw some Titan gauntlets with big bull like horns sticking out, it looked cool. Also saw a very ornate Warlock chest with big gold wings.
Lost Sectors - I love the fact that you can just go searching for them rather than being forced to do certain missions/activities in order to locate and access them.

hmm this is a valid point now that sites take payment through gift cards now...
The engine that Bungie is working off of must be pretty bad and inefficient if they can't achieve 60 FPS in 4v4 on all platforms. Gears runs 30 FPS in campaign on Xbox, 60 on PC and 60 for all platforms in PvP multiplayer. In co-op, you can pair up 60 FPS pc and 30 FPS Xbox and there's no issues. There are prettier games with more physics and far more players that run 60 FPS. This isn't a CPU issue. It's an outdated game engine issue. Guessing you'll need an extremely high powered pc to brute force your way to 60 FPS.
Still don't have an issue with lack of dedicated servers. It's more important that matchmaking pair people up in close proximity to each other on PvP and they have net code that compensates for ping disadvantages. I should record some of my Halo 5 games. 80-90% of them have really high latency on dedicated servers. I don't have connection quality issues with any other game.

It is a design choice. It was built to be 30fps. Those games you mention were built to be 60fps. If MS and Sony put better cpus in Scorpio & Pro then it could have been 60fps on those platforms.
As for engine...I don't know what it uses, but I imagine it is a modified D1 engine.
As for dedicated servers;your Halo experience is not normal, and I have no idea why it is like that. But dedicated servers is better than P2P or these crappy hybrids games like COD & FIFA use.
Ugh. The Pc version isn't coming out for nearly a month after the console version.
