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.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By Talys · Posted

      I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.

      Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
