I finally made gen 2 yay!

 

Bring on the new maps!

 

Congrats, now onwards to Gen 10...it goes slightly faster thanks to the XP bonus with each regen. And yes, also waiting for the new maps. And i don't know why people keep calling this COD. It's clearly COD + Halo :rofl:

I'd say +Awesome but whatever works :D

 

Though I've never played a CoD multiplayer, so there's that.

 

I think I downloaded a patch just now but there's no info around about it.

Hopefully this patch addresses the frozen countdown glitch that happens once in a while, though it's been happening less this week. And...never played COD MP? :punch: WHY?

I don't play most things multi...had a bad connection for a long time, and the last two CoDs I bought were Black Ops 2 and Modern Warfare 1.

 

So far BF3, MOH:W, BF4, and Titanfall are all I've really gone in on outside of racing or MMOs.

 

(And yes, most of those racing games are Need for Speed.)

Certainly MP means it's not really your own schedule, and that you depend on more external factors than just with SP. Titanfall is an excellent game to get one hooked on MP, tempted to start another five hour session soon...but it does have its stability issues, and those have nothing to do with our connection quality. Surprised you liked Warfighter MP, it lasted all of two weeks :rolleyes:

It was pretty slick being able to call in artillery strikes and crap like that.

 

I doubt I bought it at launch, so I'd imagine it lasted longer...but there were never terribly many (more than two, heh) servers with people on em, and none of those had the map pack IIRC. :/

Ah, now I know why I like Titanfall so much better than I ever did MW. No ###### artillery, helicopters or bombers to help pad the kills of those who already have the most kills.

Well Experiment was talking about Medal of Honor actually :angry:

 

But yeah, same idea heh heh. Titanfall is much more straighforward than that. It's shoot or get shot, and movement is king. I also think the no kill streak thing is good - basically your titan and core are the only kill streak-affected things i can think of.

  • 3 weeks later...

They released some patch notes today but I'm not really sure whether or not they're live before the DLC shows up.

 

5/15 is rumored.

 

Wow, thanks for posting these. Some of the best patch notes i've seen recently...too many to list, but faves include the gooser challenge (which was ridiculous), the disappearing guns in the escape dropship, and the overall reduced bandwidth consumption. On X1 i wish they'd take the time to implement vsync, i'm sure there's a way...shouldn't be too hard.

 

Otherwise very comprehensive notes

No, didn't watch it, but thanks for posting this video.

 

EDIT: they say the video is representative of X1. There's clearly no screen tearing, so i hope that means they're about to fix it. Or maybe they are rather loose with "representative".

I watched a few snippets of the stream last night and that was being played on the X1, but the stream wasn't the best so couldn't really tell :p

 

New maps look good, still annoyed that there's no concrete release date for the X1

 

Wallrunning between trees looks like fun.

Sure hope the vsync will be turned on hahaha, that is my only gripe with Titanfall, otherwise it's co-GOTY with Dark Souls 2 so far.

As of right now, Titanfall is my game of the year as well. You know, I keep reading on the forums that as of about a month ago, everyone is finding that the game textures, performance, tearing etc has all been dramatically improved, as well as framerate consistency. I wonder if they did some patch server side?

Just played it a few hours ago man, and did not find any technical improvement. Perhaps tearing was slightly better, will need to look again. Still an amazing experience, had to force myself to stop after five rounds. Gotta get that damn satchel requirement out of the way!

 

EDIT: also did not notice faster loading or shorter waits. When are all these patch notes coming into effect?

5/15 confirmed on FB.  Rock on.

 

Just in time for the weekend!

Not sure what platform you're playing on, but for X1, the patch goes live the same time as the DLC.

You're right, Xbox store also has nothing about the season pass...i think it will only pop up as purchase option tomorrow when the DLC goes live. Weird but honest in a way, guess they didn't want to sell anything until at least some DLC made it...

 

You can buy it from Gamestop though apparently, and Xbox store has it for 360:

That's what I'm hoping, I'm assuming that the Season Pass on Gamestop is just Xbox Live Credit to purchase the Pass when it goes live. I'll guess I'll check tomorrow morning and see what pops up.

Judging by the odd "$25" price tag on Gamestop instead of the more typical $24.99 i'd say that's correct, it's just a placeholder/credit until the real thing comes along. This is to Respawn's credit, they at least held back and made sure they had DLC to deliver before selling the season pass.

 

EDIT: just checked and Origin are selling the season pass already, not sure how long they've had it there. Clearly for PC only...

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8.
