It's a step towards making the networking concerns invisible, and that always seems like a mistake to me. If the protocol for keeping clients in sync were more explicit, it would be easier to tightly control what and when things get sent over the network.

Is it roughly the same as UE3? It was usable but god damn did it make a lot of things difficult.
