Question - how do I get the Season Pass for the game? I can't see anything on the website and I haven't seen an option to purchase via the game. Unless I'm missing something :/

 

Hey dipsy...have you checked the Xbox store dammit? :rolleyes: The season pass is right there hahaha, $24.99, very modest price! (right)

 

Was tempted to click buy but held back!

Woops, thanks for pointing that out. MS really need to sort out being able to view/but through the Xbox website and not relying on the console itself.

It is definitely a mess right now, could use some MAJOR sorting out. Indeed there's nothing for X1 on the site, but it's on the console...it's also not on the X1 SmartGlass, just checked. They need to put their store in order, seriously. But anyway, i'd recommend checking the console primarily for the time being if you want to buy something.

Here's hoping they'll wave a magic wand at E3 and it'll sort everything out ;)

If anyone in the US is interested in a copy of Titanfall for the One, thinking $30, PM me. Maps not being free DLC has completely killed my interest, which admittedly was not all that great recently anyway. Thanks.

Latest patch is nice, finally allows for 60+ fps without vsync, meaning I can play in borderless windowed mode with over 60 fps, and without having to use the game's glitchy vsync to remove tearing (in borderless windowed mode dwn gets rid of tearing for you). Looks much smoother now, being capped to 60 fps in borderless windowed mode looked weird on my 120hz monitor, creating a sort of motion blur effect, now it looks as smooth as I expect it to.

Had a few days playing the new maps and love them. They're just as balanced as the original maps, with a good mix of close quarters and open areas, and naturally maps are across multiple levels too. 

 

I can't decide which I like best, War Games or Swamp. The way players die and the level loads in War Games is pretty cool, kind of like a glitchy virtual reality world. 

 

If the future maps are of this quality, they're onto a winner.

Only had the pleasure of doing Swamp and Runoff so far, War Games has not come up in rotation for me. Is it good?

War Games is very good too. I think that it may be my favourite from the new maps. There's a huge hole in the middle of the map so if you've just ejected and aren't paying attention :P You'll have to let me know your thoughts when you try it out.

 

Runoff is annoying me at the moment, I seem to get stranded at the lower level and it takes me forever to get back up. I need to keep playing on it and get used to it.

Big hole in the middle which is a problem during ejection...really want to play this map already :woot:

Will be doing more Titanfall in the weekend and hope the War Games will come up, i think almost everyone that plays now got the new maps and there seems to be a constant supply of new low rank players heh heh

 

Runoff does have that layered and convoluted design, it's quite handy if you're going for the satchel requirements :D

I think it's just frustrating for me because it's the one map that I always take a hammering on. I just need to keep playing.

    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse). GEEKOM X16 Pro at GEEKOM U.S. for $1,119.67 was $1,349 (17% off) Use coupon code NWGBX1617 when checking out. This flash deal expires on July 2.

    • We are reached to the point that apple looks affordable and better choice than anything else, in what dystopia are we living in....
    • Ouch. $1600 for 256GB SSD / 16GB? Even Apple, the purported "target" of Surface devices for a long time, has its MacBook Air M5 at 512GB SSD / 16GB RAM for $999 MSRP. Surface will never be reasonably priced with such low volumes.
    • Sadly price is pretty in line with the other new X2 devices so far. RAM/SSD prices have ruined everything.
