My only real complaint is the damn wait time between rounds. They need to cut that down by a third.

 

God this ^^^

 

I'll check my loadout, restock my burn cards, browse the challenges, come back to the lobby and still have 70 seconds to go!

I've been enjoying the game, though it's way more fun and consistent, experience wise, when playing with friends.

This was done intentionally to give you all the time you need to review burn cards and tune loadouts, as a counter to the 20 seconds between rounds in COD, where you don't have enough time to even change a scope on your rifle without losing match time. I'm fine with the 90 seconds Titanfall gives us, but then i'm an old geezer, so everything moves slow for me. Everything.

Lol I get why they put it there, but I just feel like 60 seconds would be more suffice. I can shuffle through my cards quickly and once you've leveled up a bit, you don't dive into the classes all that often. I feel like it just slows the pace down so much.

'I've been in government for a long time, I can smell bulls**t"

"You know why we haven't found the plane yet?.. It has no oil in it"

"I'm the President I can get that s**t done"

 

Funniest part about this video is the fact that the people actually thought it was really Obama.

My favorite part was "Well if they could just tie you to a machine and beat you with a stick they'd do that, but we don't really allow that anymore". xD

ATM Titanfall servers are down, problems on MS side http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status , problem touch Xbox and PC gamers.

And looks like their official forum get kind of DDoS, probably ale players like to know what happen :D

Dunno I just launched because you said that and played a round on PC fine.

Yeah guess it could do with a little less time...maybe 60 seconds? Was just on Ghosts and that 20 second intermission if there are enough players is simply not enough.

 

Servers were down for me just now as well, seems to be a global thing. Maybe Respawn moved on to the next project and farmed out server maintenance to DICE :wacko:

Weird, I'm up and playing in the Midwest.

We want new modes in the next big update, not DLC. We paid 60 bucks for your MP only game, so compensate us>

@YaBoyZD3 Modes we release will be free to all, not part of DLC.

Titanfall's future game modes will be free, Zampella confirms

Compensate us...hope that guy was joking. He wants reparations for a game he bought willingly, and not even an especially broken game. We were told well in advance this would be MP only, and to be honest it's the first MP only game i've actually enjoyed since BF2!

Most of the time i assume they are either joking or just playing, but yes, the constant negativity gets old after being exposed to it for decades as a lover of games. From the late 70's to idiots saying Watch Dogs looks like Winback on PS2, sometimes it's enough to make you want to punch someone in the face :angry:

Great news on the game modes, I think that is a neat way to approach adding content.

As for those tweets, ugh. Entitled gamers drive me damn crazy!

 

Entitled? They paid $60 for the game and they're not happy with the amount of content. It's a fair comment. There isn't a lot of content in the game. It's rather thin if you look at the entire package and compare it to other games, including games that have a full single player campaign. 

 

Respawn knows that the game is thin, which is why they're adding modes for free.

Thin? 6 game modes, MP campaign, and like 15 maps? I mean the last Halo game has a SP story, but only released with like 4 MP maps or something. Not sure how other shooters stack up recently, but I thought Respawn did a pretty good job here.

I think it's pretty thin. The MP campaign just added voice over work and a few cut scenes. All the modes are pretty standard. Sure, there are 15 maps, but I expect that considering that it is a MP only game. Outside of that, it's missing stuff that I expect in any multiplayer mode, but especially in games that only feature multiplayer.

 

- Lack of customization

- No clan support (tag, teams, or otherwise)

- No private party support

- No map voting

- No team balancing

- Loadout names

 

Sure, this stuff can be added and I hope they do. I'm glad that they're adding new modes.

Fair enough. Could definitely go for loadout names and team balancing. I'm fine without map voting though :p

If you bought something and you knew or didn't know information on it...it's your fault. Buyer's remorse is not seller's problem. Now if the product is faulty, then yes, seller's problem.

 

Anyways, I'm having a blast playing the game. Finally a Gen 2. Can't wait to see the new modes that will come out for it.

    • 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.
