“In the past, servers were handled by third-party companies”, EA DICE explains. “Now, EA is providing them directly…We will be able to secure the quality of the actual hardware. Since the servers come from the same provider, it will give everyone the same uniform experience. Furthermore, if you have questions or need help, you will be able to reach out to EA Support directly instead of third party support”.
EA DICE warns that they may “restrict the number of game modes available at launch and gradually enable them based on feedback and other circumstances”.
