If I get one early today I will give it to you so you can play while you are home. Then if you get one you can give it to me since I won't be able to play till late tonight/tomorrow morning anyways

That would be awesome man thank you. Still no key for me yet.

 

If anyone has a spare key for the X1 it would be appreciated.

Does anyone know when Nvidia will be releasing beta drivers? 

 

BTW. The game is Awesome :D Just need to get used to the game mechanics and you'll be enjoying it right away 

 

Edit: Seems the game will be running fine on 2011-2013 hardware. Single GT 750m (without beta drivers) throwing 28 - 35 FPS during gameplay. MSAA 2X. @ 1080p w/ Insane Texture quality.

So, if you are getting into the beta, would that already have happened or not?

It started today and ends on the 18th. The last day that codes will be given out is the 17th.

 

As for the game itself, I'm not impressed. The new gameplay mechanics aren't enough for me to like it. It's lacking a lot in the visual department and I'm not surprised because it's using the Source engine. If you played the training, you probably noticed the constant loading. That's because the Source engine can't load a large level. Like Portal 2, it has to load level after level even though the level itself is small. Also, the textures are blurry even at the highest settings.

I think if Titanfall had a campaign with co-op it would be quite fun, however for a multiplayer only game i've found the beta a bit boring if i'm honest.

It's nothing really that new, i cant help but feel its just another generic fps...to me its like Call of Duty with some mech / jump power-ups added.

 

At ?40-50 for a multiplayer only game i find the price very hard to justify, i see it as more of a game i would pickup for ?10 on sale sometime in the future.

 

The graphics on the Xbox One version are not that good to be honest, i think it looks more like an Xbox 360 game with maybe a slightly higher resolution.

That's very kind what you've done. Im gonna give my (yet to be used) Xbox One Key away after the 17th if i see some lovely person on Neowin really wanting one :)

 

If you received the wrong titanfall key - all hope is not lost! Firstly if you signed up for the Origin PC Key and didn't receive one, Load up Origin and see if Titanfall appears there!

 

Failing that or should you have any other type of issue check out http://www.winxperts.net/_/gaming/titanfall-beta-key-mixup-r319

That's very kind what you've done. Im gonna share my Xbox One Key after the 17th if i see some lovely person on Neowin really wanting one :)

While a nice gesture if you have already used it do not bother. You cannot "share" keys. They are a one time use only deal, even if you stop playing.

Eh, how is Hawken P2P? Because it has that Nemesis pack you can buy to get into the early access thing? The game is still F2P and will remain that way, you can buy into the Steam early access thing to get in now (which for being on Steam is a plus for some I'd imagine) and get quite a few mech unlocks etc.

 

As for Titanfall. I like it so far, but man the game needs some serious optimizations or something. For being on Source, it runs worse than BF4 in spots. And that's saying quite a lot. Gameplay is nice and fast, the wall running stuff and mech stuff you can do on the fly is fun as hell. Some of the lock on weapons in the beta thing are a bit OP, I would hope they'd tone them down somewhat at some point in the full game (but probably won't). Also, I'm playing it with a 360 pad, as this kind of game was made for console first and I find I can play them better with the 360 pad. Don't hate me :(

    • Good. I hope more people sue them for focusing on this worthless junk.
    • How about fire the guy who approved all the bad decisions? The guy who bought these studios in the first place? Oh wait, Satya is safe with his billions while the workers pay the price.
    • This had nothing to do with games. This is all about management wanting to squeeze as much money from Xbox to keep Microsoft's AI ambitions afloat. Someone has to make money to burn on AI.
    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse).
