Anyone else getting a lot more dropped connections after the last update.  I'm seeing quite a few, up from about zero beforehand...

 

Haven't played since Sunday. When was the new update? Hope they get this sorted quick, i need my Titanfall fix and am very close to Gen 4. Just that damn railgun is so weak and slow!

It was the 15th I believe, with the new maps.

 

Railgun's alright if you time it well :P

 

I'm working on getting to Gen 7 - just need 16 more rodeo kills...

Don't even start with the rodeos...i have no idea how to do those. I think the requirements will prove too much for me soon.

 

As for the update, if the last one was the 15th then i didn't notice any difference in connectivity quality - for better or worse.

Rodeo kills are fairly straightforward once you get the LMG, especially with the Slammer upgrade. I think pretty much any other weapon would be worthless unless you jump on a weak one. You just have to remember to keep shooting after you doom it until it's dead or it ejects you because it's going nuclear.

I had two at the weekend for the first two games but after that no issues. I played around 15 games in total I think. Haven't had a chance to play since then.

Thanks, will remember to use the LMG, never really got into that one!

I don't think there's an issue with DLC after 2 months. MP games usually feel pretty boring long before that for me.

 

I think when it comes to Titanfall it's a bit of a smack in the face though, when it's MP only and light on content for $60 to begin with. You know you've made a mistake on your pricing when people start saying PvZ GW offers more bang for $.

 

But that's the cost of delays, porting and AAA industry for you...

Respect this opinion but disagree with it. Titanfall is far from light on content, it's pure joy for me. And it has more maps than most other shooters. I think it's a great value, already at nearly 60 hours played, which is quite impressive for me...

 

As for PvZ: GW, that sunflower really scares me.

A few details on the the next major Titanfall update from E3

 

 

Biggest change to note - two new game modes (2v2 Titan and Marked for Death), Titan burn cards, Titan customisation and finally team shuffling. 

 

Team shuffling is going to be great (something that should have been there from day one) but it means that you won't need to find a whole new team to play against every few matches.

This is great news! Shuffling indeed should have been from day one seeing as we've had this capability in gaming starting around 1994...Marked for Death hahaha let me guess the CO will be John Hatcher? Good name for a mode. And more burn cards always welcome, am addicted to those. Thinking about buying the actual set....

It could be worse - it COULD be Steven Seagal (star in a movie of that name).

 

Despite being an early snack, I'm back to enjoying Titanfall (via Game Time).  The biggest issue is that I have so many OTHER games on my plate that I wind up playing Titanfall in dribs and drabs.

Hahahaha i need to work on my humor or i don't know what...if i was referencing Seagal's character in Marked for Death then clearly i know it was Seagal...that was the whole point of the joke arrrggghhhhh! :argh:

 

But yeah, i know what you mean :ike:

 

As for Titanfall, i also can't get enough of it even though i keep telling myself over 60 hours in three months is plenty, time to put it down...but i just want to be Gen 10 :cry:

I feel your pain. I haven't been Anne to really enjoy the game since mid April. Works been busy as hell and I've had grown up things to worry about. Now that its summer I'll barely have time for games and titanfall works because of how fast it is.

Oh and I agree with too many games. Working on infamous on ps4 and watch dogs on PC. In between played hard line and destiny. By the time summer is over destiny will be available. Next month I'm moving and last of us comes out for ps4 :( with how good the game is I'm going to probably not bother playing it unless its a stupidly hot day outside.

Why do we have to be grown ups!

Hey your smart device must really like Anne as opposed to "able to" :p

 

You ask the most painful question out there, all joking aside. Why must we age? Why must all this pass? Why is life always about balancing stuff? Work, family, and trying to enjoy life...each with their own lot and problems and challenges...sometimes i just feel like locking the door and doing nothing but gaming and drinking beer, but then the rational part of me reminds the not so rational side that's hardly a sustainable lifestyle...

 

Well, let's not be too philosophical about it - just try to find time when time is to be found for games, and good luck with your new place :fun:

More reason to play - Update 4 dropping soon

 

Thanks for posting this, nice and pretty massive update. Love the ability to unlock titan classes w/o SP, which i think is a wasted mode in Titanfall. All the other changes and updates also seem good, so hopefully this is done soon.

Yep it will be interesting indeed, even if the an initial match is unbalanced the shuffling should help a great deal.

Update should be hear before the end of the month. I think there were a lot of complaints about no-one playing the SP and it meant a load of players were unable to unlock the extra Titan chassis so they needed to make changes there.

    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount

      By Steven P. · Posted

      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.

      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.
