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.

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99. Marshall Major V Midnight Blue - $89.99 | 47% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

      I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
