I agree with this. I actually fired up titanfall today with a couple buddies on PC to check this out and we had a freaking blast. Also related to this, and the previous bit of discussion about bot AI, you can definitely see a marked improvement in the bots gameplay between a normal mode, and the horde mode they just added.
Now, I'm not saying it can only be attributed to the azure servers, nor am I saying that the level of AI will make us worry about the machines taking over, but that said, there is a marked improvement in how the bots perform. While the grunts remain pretty much that, spectres and enemy titans in that mode have much slicker routines they follow. From spectres being able to now rodeo your titans, to enemy titans switching between defense and aggressive play styles, it can really keep you on your toes.
