If you applied to join the Titanfall beta, keys are still being sent out and some of you may not receive yours until the 17th of February!

 

 

Again though same question, why not just give it out now, especially if you are not going to use it. Why not give it to someone now and let them enjoy every day available? And not just one?

Because if they've applied and think they've not got in they may say "i really want it" but then get it in the next couple of days? or is that a bad idea....was trying to make sure it goes to someone who really needs it ya see but maybe ive thought this through wrong :)

That person can give their key away too.

I can't get any servers to show up anymore from any of the data centers.

 

Other people seeing it also apparently - https://twitter.com/jonshiring/status/434443447349432320

I've been seeing it (eastern US - got my key earlier today).  Staggered launches are like that (and it's not unique to EA - it happened with Starcraft II, and Diablo III as well).

There were some surprises, though - the audio component is nearly half the code (6 GB out of 16 GB).  The default (on PC, at least in my case) is 720p/no AA/16x AF as far as graphical settings go - pretty darn typical for a Source-based game.  (I'm staying on the defaults - old GPU.)

I like how Hawken is now Pay2Play now that there's a new mech game in town generating hype :p

Please - THAT accusation has been bandied about of all F2P games, even after it has been conclusively proven not to be the case (DC Universe Online and Planetside 2, for example).  Over this period, though, I'll be comparing the Titanfall beta *directly* to Hawken (however, it makes sense for two reasons - Hawken is the only other "mech" game I have, and I completed my transition to Steam two days ago).

I only mentioned it as I was about to use my NVidia keys on it and found out you have to pay to play it now or wait till its out of early access to be f2p again :P *still waiting on a Titanfall email :(*

This isn't anything to do with a staggered launch, they are having server issues as the developer and Major Nelson have already tweeted 

 

 

 

There are server issues at the moment! Hang tight. We'll have them back up as soon as possible.

They've confirmed it's a staggered launch on Twitter. Think there may be too much activity to deal with now that people finished work in US and all logging in at same time.

I'm not talking about the launch, I was quoted on the current server outage.

The wait is only because you waited until after the transition to Steam started to redeem an nV key - had you done so earlier, you would have been transitioning to Steam by now. (I did my transition on Wednesday.)

The reason that  am able to do the Titanfall beta is because the Secret World Valentine's Day event/freeplay weekend is being cornflakey.
