official Titanfall

[Louisifer]

I just finished playing the IMC campaign, while it was fun we were let down by the matchmaking for about 6 matches.

Other team always had 2 more players than us and their lowest level guys were pretty much matched with out highest player >.<

 

Our final lobby meeting was the best I've experienced so far server took a few minutes to fill up the other team to 6 while forgetting us with 3 and a few seconds before the match starts our highest ranked guy tells us he's glad that he's drunk. :laugh:

 

Hopefully playing Militia tomorrow will be a smoother experience! :)

[neoadorable]

I've had it since launch and only played halfway through the tutorial, I keep getting connection issues and getting disconnected!

 

I'm in Korea so maybe it has to do with the Asia server. Too late for a refund, maybe I can play it someday. 

 

Hey curme, i used the East Asia server as well to play with friends, and it was fine...at least couple days ago. Very smooth and stable.

Anyone have fun strategies yet? I haven't put in a ton of hours, maybe 3 or so (Dark Souls 2, damn you) but so far, I'm loving Hardpoint and using my Titan on auto. Its great to hop out around the point, have your auto do damage on the outside while it waits and you go cap, then hop back in. So much fun. This is from my BF playing, though, as I would use vehicles in a similar manner - I just love that the Titan will go on offense for you a little bit!

 

And I have to agree with DL and others, having the grunts there has actually helped me a bit. In CoD, my experience was "spawn, run, dead" but in Titanfall I'm actually able to play the damn game, get a few kills off minions and pilots, get my Titan and help out my team. In fact, I actually can enjoy Attrition; I think the last TDM mode I played and was somewhat good at was UT2k4!! LOL

Last night I was able to hop on a single match before dinner. because I literally had zero expectations and was just playing I was just super relaxed and truly just playing to have some quick fun, and wouldn't you know it when the round ended while the scoreboard was being displayed I also had an Achievement pop up and it was for getting first place on my team. I did not even have a ton of kills either, I think maybe 4 pilots total, however I was playing the mode it was meant to be played and capturing and defending hold points. I just love the fact the game actually awards one for playing the game and not just for kills, which is why I have been turned off my the MP aspect of the genre by so many other games in the past few years (with the exception of Battlefield as Conquest also rewards one for playing the mode). 

It is this approach that goes a very, very long way with making the game inviting and fun to play for someone like myself who because my time is super limited these days my skill is no doubt not up there with the kids these days, but I can still contribute to a team based mode. Seriously makes it fun to play, which means I will continue to play it.

Good stuff for sure.

I got had the exact same thing happen to me. It popped up, and I was like..um no way...I hardly killed a thing....then I noticed that it's because I captured so many points (because I am a camping mofo). And our team won because of it. I love that they did that.

[IceBreakerG]

Just wondering, when looking at the campaign section, is there a way to tell if you've won a map as either faction?  I want the achievements for beating all the campaign missions as IMC and Militia, but I seriously have no clue which ones I've won on and which ones I haven't yet.  I also keep getting stuck on teams that completely suck, with hardpoint missions always going so badly all hardpoints are controlled by the other team and I can't get any help in taking and holding them.  Other than constantly getting stuck on horrible teams, the game is awesome though.

[Louisifer]

I got to play the Militia campaign today and its a lot more fun having full teams all the way through :P

 

Now to play tons of Attrition and develop some twitch reflexes that everyone has but me D:

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Yeah there seems to be no rhyme or reason to The Campaign mode at all. I already beat it as IMC the first night I checked the game out, and I know this for sure as I unlocked the one type of Titan one unlocks for beating the campaign on that side, yet when I go to play the campaign again, it puts me on that side again, and I see no way at all to choose The Militia side. Am I missing something blatantly obvious? Is it a matter of just quitting and starting the campaign until you get the side you want?

[Louisifer]

I was unsure at first but I think when I hovered over the continue campaign button it showed something like "you've completed it as IMC now try it as Militia" and it dropped me in the Militia lobby.

Only clicked the button once so far so no idea if its random :P 

[cleverclogs]

Ah this can't come to PC soon enough!

[xendrome]

Ah this can't come to PC soon enough!

 

Ummm... It's been on PC since day one.

 

Perhaps you were confused by all the talk of "Xbox One Exclusive" which was a lie from day one.

[cleverclogs]

Ummm... It's been on PC since day one.

Hilarity ensues. I am silly.

[LOC Veteran]

I really wish I could buy this game. Sadly since I'm about to be thrown out of my home here and don't know where I'm going to live next month - and my current economic situation, as usual I can't buy a game I've been waiting for patiently. Games are not really high on my priority list right now with all this crap going on. However, after watching so many review videos and let's plays etc of the game, I'm just hankering for some Titanfall so bad now.

 

Ah well, can't always get what we want. You know, like a place to live.

[benthebear]

Two of my friends had NPC pilots named after them, and I just ran into them tonight. They know one of the devs at Respawn who made it happen. I don't think they found out about it until yesterday.

Arright homeys I almost have my copy downloaded.  Prepare to by amazed at my suckage!

To your comments about the fun factor.. Respawn (best talent who founded Infinity Ward) really know how to make stuff fun.

 

They have done an amazing job. I have not started raging ONCE playing this game. Even if I lose. Something that was happening pretty much nonstop with later COD. 

 

The reason is that even if you pay Attrition instead of HardPoint the game simply rewards you even if you suck. You never come out feeling like you've been molested. 

 

It's amazing how well they made it to be fun 1st. And on top of that, they really made it so people actually don't even camp. I have become 2nd generation pilot and I am yet to see anyone really camping. It's designed so well that it just doesn't happen as much even in domination/hardpoint. I think it's because the spawn points, the fast paced mechanic, the bots and the fact that you can't really hide as the pilot can come in from anywhere. Those who try to camp get punished really quickly.

 

PLUS, there's no annoying killstreak awards which are No. 1 cause of camping to begin with.

 

They nailed it..

 

 

As far as campaign goes yeah, it's really some cinematic version of multiplayer that really doesn't invoke any emotions or interest but it's a bit cooler than just straight up MP. At least for a few first runs. 

 

I played the hell out of campaign because I wanted to get achievements. On really good thing about campaign is that it's more for people jumping in and needing a bit of a cinematics prior to the match. This way if you are not great, you can always jump into campaign and play with other average people (in addition to regular MP).

 

 

I love it.. I'm so happy it turned out great and lived up to the hype.

 

The biggest issues (a bit less content than expected, no real story/single player for truly emotional experience and more weapons overall) and I really don't hold against them because Respawn has I believe barely 70 people in total who worked on the game, if that (compare that to COD guys who will be ticking close to 400 people for the next COD). Making a game as kick ass as Titanfall is truly an achievement.

 

I can't wait for Titanfall 2 when they expand their team to probably 150-200 people and really show us what they can do. Until then Titanfall doesn't disappoint in any way. So much fun.

This hurts my eyes.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Probably the best kill I will ever get in the game.

I have to say the Upload Studio on the One is pretty cool, really my first time checking it out.

[+Red King Subscriber²]

Yeah, 35-36 GB of the total is uncompressed audio files. I believe one of the devs said they didn't want users PCs having to deal with compressed audio files so they could free up more memory and processor time for everything else. Cuz you know, PCs haven't been able to use mp3's or ogg's for years because it's just to CPU intensive a thing...

 

Also this is only on PC. The Xbone version is 18 GB I believe I read.

That's great my 4.5 GHz i5 Ivy Bridge has been struggling with modern games! :)

If only everyone in the world was as well off as you I'm sure it'd be relevant!

 

Only played a few matches so far but loved it.  It reminds me somewhat of Blacklight Retribution without the pay to win thing going on.

[Anthony Tosie Veteran]

Biggest complaint I have so far: The matchmaking is truly horrendous. Either I'm on a massively overpowered team or I'm the only high rank on a horrible team; same with the opposition, obviously.

Nah it'd be relevant if they actually did to help old PC play the games.

 

Come on don't tell me you believe this ****** excuse?

 

PC with cpu old enough to "need" this wont likely have the gpu to run the game or might even not have enough space to install it. We are talking about PC that are as old as 7 or even 10 years here. Not all of those old PC have 1TB HD inside them. My PC is 4 years old and it was mid range when i bought it and my pc doesn't need such trick to run Titanfall.

 

Either they are lazy, they want to use this as a form of drm or they want to make the pc version not as interesting (the game is sponsored by MS so we can't rule out the 3rd option).

[MorganX]

Maybe they left the audio uncompressed as a half hearted attempt to limit piracy. A large D/L will eliminate a large portion of downloaders.

a CPU isn't designed to handle the decompression, encoding, mixing, adding effects, layering and encoding of 64-128 audio threads. so yes, in fact yoru CPU could potentially have an issue. try running 64 simultaneous winrar extractions, continuously of small files 

[spaceelf]

Come on don't tell me you believe this ****** excuse?

OK.

 

I have no reason to doubt the developers have run the tests, but I won't tell you I believe it.
