official Titanfall

So I played against a G8 the other day. Not sure how long you had to have been playing to get there by now.  Highest I've seen apart from that was a bunch of G5s. Guy wasn't even that great :P

I've played against tons of G10 players on Xbox One. Were you matched with him? Some of the higher-level players are garbage, they just play non-stop.

Little more info:

 

In the wake of the Battle of Demeter, IMC Expeditionary Forces travel deep into Frontier space to recover from their recent defeat. On an uncharted world, the IMC begin construction of a new fleet operations base, using newly acquired water collection and filtration plants to support the new base. When drainage operations reveal ancient ruins and artifacts of an unknown origin in a nearby swamp, Spyglass activates an archaeological team to investigate the site. To maintain battle readiness at the new base, IMC Pilots use simulation pods to train for anticipated Militia raids, based on lessons learned in Angel City and IMC Airbase Sierra.

 

Titanfall Expedition is the first of three new content packs with each pack available for $9.99. For fans looking to get all three content packs while saving a few bucks, the Titanfall Season Pass is the way to go. Available for a one-time price of $24.99*, the Titanfall Season Pass is available for Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC and delivers all three content packs as soon as they become available.

Sounds cool, though at this point I don't know how quickly I'd give up $10 for 3 maps as I'm not exactly tired of the current selection.

[spaceelf]

I got the Digital Deluxe Edition so I'm good to go whenever it hits :)

[neoadorable]

Great to hear there's DLC coming, will likely get it now that i've given in and decided to try for Gen 10 :laugh: This game is just too much fun to let go, already had it uninstalled then brought it back hahahaha, the wonder of "cloud computing"

[dipsylalapo Supervisor]

I heard about the DLC, 3 maps seems a little light though. I know it's a while off so hopefully it won't just be the three maps. Ideally I'd want to see new weapons (both pilot and Titan) and more abilities. 

[neoadorable]

Depends how much they want to charge for it, it it's $10 or less then it's fair

Each of the three DLCs will be $10 each. That's how you save $5 with the season pass. Unless you can wait for sales ;)

Thanks for the info Spense, might get the season pass then, though am still somewhat against the concept. Fully understand the need to make money in a growing industry, that eventually benefits us as gamers and stakeholders, but $60 for the main game then the $20 for the pass...sure it's all optional, but if you want it, then it adds up. In the case of Titanfall, that adding up is likely a good thing, as i'm quite fond of it :D

So I got thegame from cdkeys.com and I like it... BUT...

 

1 - I wish I could play the campaign as a single player without getting put in horribly inbalanced teams and with idiots.even if the campaign is stupid.

2 - the matchmaker is absolutely horrible. it's like it goes out of it's way to put bad and low level players together. it's like 1 out of 10 matches it gets a balanced team or I get on the good team.

3 - the interface must be designed by monkeys. usability wise it's not horrible but it's certainly not great. but the worst part is. ANYTHING you do requires loading something on the interest. ok you want to play, loading, you want to play multiplayer, loading, you want to play hardpoint, loading, game starting, loading... OMG! There should be no loading untill the game loads, and there should be no waiting untill the matchmaking starts.

Team balancing was addressed in a recent patch, with some success. It's getting better but agree it could be way better. Hopefully over time it'll get there. Others have mentioned here (and I agree) levels and generations that players have, have little or no relation to their actual skill.

 

Loading is an issues, always find tea and biscuits help for this part. ;)

[yardmanflex]

CoD with mechs and thrusters? I was VERY disappointed during the reveal, that said I enjoy laming around in CoD from time to time, so I might be picking this one up at some point.

The interface is a complete mess, too cluttered and big.

Titanfall > COD

Finally hit 50 and regenerated the first time. I thought I was going to stop and play Tomb Raider at this point and then come back to Titanfall, but I'm kind of addicted.

It was great in the beta and after the update for a short time, but apparently they reverted a lot because I have been in a lot of crap matches recently.

 

I'm not really sure what's going on, but I'm sure the amount of low level players is thin.

Same here, but can't get away from it. Thought level 50 and the regen achievement would be closure, but even typing this i keep getting the craving - the sound of the CAR, that papery effect when choosing burn cards...the glory of it all!

 

However...

Glad you got it, and agree with much of what you say. The campaign as it stands is a waste of space. As a bot campaign it would have worked very nicely.

 

The matchmaking is indeed terrible. And since the patch it got worse - all they have to do is shuffle the teams! But no, now if one team is clearly stronger than the other it just kicks the winners out of the lobby, leaving the losers not only losers but also waiting for a new match, which can take some time.

 

I do not agree that the interface is bad, it is excellent. I really do like it.

Respawn turned down the level of the matchmaking after it went live. They had too many complaints that it was taking a long time to find matches. I don't know if it's just because of which region I'm in (Europe) and the time that I play (mainly evenings and weekends) but I've never had to wait a long time for a match. The matches that I do join are always balanced too. Played a match last night where we were losing by a hefty amount, we turned it around and one by a single point. 

 

Still loving it, and looking forward to the changes/maps and hopefully weapons. 

 

They really do need to stop the constant loading thought, that is annoying.

 

FYI - anyone that plays the game, I would follow Respawn on Twitter, usually the first place I find out about updates.

Titanfall is CoD

Titanfall is CoD

In some alternate universe where I don't want to live, it sure is.

Speaking of not much, 20% off on Origin atm.  Season Pass is still full price though.

Seeing as I got it for under half the origin price on cdkeys, I think I'd stick with that :p

[HawkMan]

What's starting to annoy me now is the seemingly invincible players. We're both in titans both alone, I blast him with fire first, then I use the vortex shield as he shoots at me catches his projectiles and special ammo, throw it back at him and then continue blasting him.... and then I die... at this point he hasn't really hit me once yet...

[neoadorable]

Sounds odd, maybe the wiles of connectivity? Haven't encountered this problem yet, just the usual inconsistencies you get with every online game.

[HawkMan]

I'm getting real tired of having to redo campaign missions because I need a new squad or a new opposition squad and someone there hasn't gotten this far yet... gah.

The two modes they've implemented the new matchmaking system on are still absolutely atrocious in my book. The lag is still significantly greater than all the other modes, and teams are far more frequently unbalanced (and it still takes 5+ minutes to find a match). Respawn apparently thought it'd be a good idea to base the matchmaking almost solely on skill, which is just silly. It'd make far more sense to have an aggregate team skill and try to match the players up that way while keeping the focus on connectivity. That way there are good and bad players on each team, which makes it a much more enjoyable experience, and you can still either learn from better competition or feel like you're doing well.

 

I've avoided Attrition and Hardpoint since the updated matchmaking was implemented, which is a shame because Hardpoint is by far my favorite mode.
