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.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
