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.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By tsupersonic · Posted

      Supposedly it's fixed on Series consoles: https://support.forza.net/hc/e...e-Issues-in-Forza-Horizon-6 This game is so much better than FH5, and it's all because of the map. It's diverse, big, and so much to see and do. I've bought every single Forza Motorsport and Horizon game, and by far my least played is FH5 at 100 hours, followed by the latest Motorsport. They've finally made a good one with FH6

    • Politically funny images of the World

      Sorry to be that guy but, Given Trump won again even after a failed first term it would appear attacking the other side is how to gain Government in America. Voters when it came down to it didn't give a s**t about those Democratic achievements and voted for Trump over an intelligent, qualified mixed race woman. We need to face up to this uncomfortable reality. There are more Americacan voters who support racism and christian bigotry along with defending and supporting pedophilia, adjudicated rapists, multiple time convicted felons etc than those who don't. Btw, that is how the world sees America now. Not that Trump voters care as they attempt to cocoon themselves in a white supremacy bubble.

      That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.
