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.

 

Thanks! And for the SP that may well be true, i certainly overlooked it completely. They should have either skipped that or enabled bots for SP. Anyway, good move on their part allowing the unlocks via MP.

This game looks fun. I didn't notice anything hugely unique in the trailer but the big mechs are pretty cool, and all the fast moving people and human/mech interplay seemed put together pretty well.

Titanfall trailer

From the trailer it reminded me of Killzone a little bit.  That was one of the biggest complaints I had about Killzone.  There's only 2 or 3 levels where you actually get to use the huge mechs to fight with, and nobody ever votes to go there, so it's kind of a buzzkill.

Thanks for the update and looking forward to it, love this game :woot:

Must reach Gen 10...OF COURSE!

 

Wow, I just got to Gen 3 last week. I need more time to play these games :P

Did you check out the game last week, they had a 48 hour trial on the PC version

That was a year ago before the game actually released heh.

 

You always get to use the mechs in this game...it's part of the basic gameplay.

 

And I love it.

 

Played some just now to have it in mind before patch 4.  Ugh I am awful with that shotgun I need to use for gen 3.  Bleh.

Keep at it, I hated the shotgun too but after using it for the gen requirement it was very good. I become one of those annoying people who ran around with a shotgun and satchel charge :P but I've stopped now :P

Not even sure I still need to use it.  I'll have to check my challenges next time.

I wasn't talking about Titanfall, my complaint about not having enough mechs was in regards to Killzone.  I've never actually played Titanfall.  Computers run Linux and console is PS3, :-(

That gooser one is notorious, even after they dropped it to like 5 it's still annoying. Don't think i'll be keen on going for that.

That one isn't actually bad once you get some practice in with the titan machine gun.

At Gen 8 one of the challenges is to win 100 matches, which is basically entirely out of your control.

Not really related to an update of Titanfall, but on Xbox One, is anyone recording any game clips only to find out that they look absolutely horrible?  I recorded this a week or 2 ago, and this is some of the crappiest video quality I've seen.  I've made better DVD x264 encodes of 90s TV shows that look better than this.  Also, I had the June update when I recorded this (I now have the July beta update), so this should have the improvements Microsoft supposedly made to improve the quality of game DVR clips (the v-sync issue with this game doesn't help either).

One hundred wins will take a while....thanks for the heads up, think it might be a good idea to not insist on that Gen 10....

Yeah I stopped playing when I got to Gen 8. Couple of the challenges are straight up grinders :-/

I've been at Gen 6 for the longest time because I don't give a crap about rodeo-killing titans. It's a waste of time when there are far better ways of taking a titan out (many of which involve rodeoing it but jumping off before the kill). Seems to encourage bad habits to get 50 of 'em. (On the flip side, killing 50 ejecting pilots is insanely easy with the chaingun -- not sure why that challenge was nerfed but not rodeo kills.)

The entire concept of challenges was dubious to me at first, but guess they want it to mean something rather than just grinding like with CoD and BF. It's a novel concept for sure, just the requirements are steep.

 

On a different note, the new look is nice, with the different title sequence and loading screens. Also matchmaking is much improved.

I really like the challenges, and think they're should be more of them. For me it's forces you to try out weapons that you may not normally use and check out new ways to play the game. For me, I would never realised how much fun the shotgun was without the challenge forcing me to try it.

The shottie is fun for the same reason shotties are fun in every game...they're cheap and overpowered :laugh: but yes, the challenges do encourage you to experience more of the game, it's definitely better than the old prestige model of just grinding like a lunatic. Makes it more about patience and commitment than having all the time in the world apparently (always jealous of guys that manage to prestige five times in one week after a new COD comes out - where do they find the time and the endurance?)

 

Man 1.4s matchmaking is great.

 

I'm in love with the game again  :D

 

The matchmaking is vastly improved, need to make time to enjoy it and to show them it is appreciated

Though winning 100 games for Gen 8 is starting to annoy me... Only 61 to go...  :ermm:

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
