That's the only place he says it, and he doesn't sound very sure. Guessing it's the very beginning of next month then or he misspoke, since everywhere else he's said end of this month.

No, this is not the end goal of the infrastructure. Very soon we will remove the separate game environments (NA vs EU) and combine them into one. At that point players will log into the game and depending on geoIP and the last log out location they will be routed to a GCE server that is closest to them. Network traffic between game servers will be run over the Google fiber backbone. We have yet to run tests to determine what that latency will be, but it should be much faster than routing this traffic over the internet.
You should be able to play with any of your friends from anywhere in the world in the game.

Not sure do I like this. My ISP is kinda shit but Germoney servers provide decent ping when everything works fine. This Google Compute infrastructure doesn't seem great for me, because it isn't as widespread as it needs to be. Proper server in Germoney is still my top choice.

Microsoft Azure seems way better solution from my perspective.

How does that stuff work in practice? If you're in, say, Germany, and you're fighting with or against someone from Australia... will you both have good ping? And the server gets the information from both people independently and calculates what happens, etc? Or what?

I see no mention of a delay anywhere.

Extremely poorly written with tons of typos, but there you have it.

Bottom line, FPS works like ARMA with some improvements. Not sure do I like that or not. I'm more for arena shooter gameplay for sci-fi FPS.

It makes sense it's slower and more tactical since there's going to be permadeath in PU. I just hope it's not as clunky as Arma.

Not sure I like the sound of all the delays when switching between postures.
I hope it's just a small plausible delay and not something overly frustrating.
