Yeah, you needed to apply for a beta key. It ended today though. I'm gonna buy for the multiplayer. I think it was great. Would be nice with some "pilot only" maps too. Could be fun.
I'm considering buying it though it unfortunately chose to release on the same day as Dark Souls 2 and yeaaaah, nothing can stop that game
But yeah I'll be interested to see what the final package offers. The monster stuff sounds like a nice dynamic and I wanna try out more skills. I found mid-range sniper, cloak suited my gameplay style and a tank Titanfall for outlasting most players.
Damn, kinda sad beta ended. I enjoyed it while I could! And it was nice to play on Source again. Nostalgic.
frell, it should be called a beta. I am guessing you have this mindset because you haven't actually worked anywhere up to this point to deal with full on real development.
As for the whole other point you made about if game play changes does art get hit. Everywhere I have worked 9 times out of 10 if there is a change most departments feel it.
A lot of things were tested in this beta.
Server load
how lag is dealt with
how long it takes to find games
hit marker detection
bots/ai does it need to be improved
They kept it small at first to not overload the system. You don't roll something out like this to the whole world during a test. See it is holding up and you open it to more people.
I don't really grasp anything that you do actually enjoy.

Yet almost all big releases still have issues on launch here. A small(ish) scale beta test is nothing compared to the floodgates on release day.
I'm just saying nowadays theres a marketing advantage to doing 'tests' my issue was any bad criticism will be brushed off because it's labeled as "beta" when design hardly ever changes past that point. Any change deemed too much work will just be tagged onto the sequel
I had a blast during the beta but I'm getting tired of playing nothing but FPS games since all I really ever play is CS, CoD, BF, and any other major shooters that come out. If the game ever gets custom mod/map tools then I'll buy it but at the moment $60 seems like a lot for how much fun I think I'll be having.
The game is amazing though, anybody that likes multiplayer shooters should definitely get this game.
I am not buying it until it gets mod/lan support I can't believe those are missing I mean it's on SOURCE
All the COD games were built on iD tech. From what I've heard it's as much the source engine now as COD is iD Tech. The engine choice doesn't automagically mean mod-ability.
Correct me if I'm wrong but haven't all the COD games launched pretty smoothly without any server issues, why all the "I'll wait to see how they handle the traffic" comments?
Good reviews so far. Didn't bother reading them, but at least a good reception. Kudos to Respawn! dunn wanna hear about any layoffs or anything like that.
I got my copy already preordered. Any one wanna play tomorrow?

Yes but they said it may get mod/lan support later so I'm gonna wait because me and my friends don't have the best internet so if we can't host our of servers the game would be pointless for us :poly136:
God heavens, why is the game 50GB, is it shipping with 8k textures or just all the pre-packaged DLC waiting to be unlocked. Gonna take a week to download.
CoD Ghosts was also 50GB and shipped with 4K textures so I'm guessing that is the case here as well. I wish 4K textures were just offered as a secondary download. I know I never use them even if they're available and I'd rather have the extra harddrive space.
Apparently it's due to 34GBs of uncompressed audio files... Fuck that noise! (literally) That is ridiculous, I'm guessing that it must just install every available language by default, that's the only way I can see it taking up that sort of space uncompressed or not.
There's no way in hell I can afford to set aside 50GBs for this game so I don't think I'll be playing this any time soon, I'm not really sure why but I've pretty much lost all interest in this game the closer it's gotten to it's release. I guess that's the problem with having a game where the gameplay itself is so central, after playing the beta I don't really see what they can do to surprise me.
Pre-ordered it ages ago. Loved the beta.
Preloaded it a couple of days ago(50 gigs, Bah!! Worth it!).
First thing I'll be doing after finishing my shift at 7 in the morn is rushing home to play the hell out of this game. Sure I die a lot, well a bit more than a lot but it's well worth it.
If anyone wants to play, PM me.
Game is fantastic so far. I was a little skeptical about a campaign online, but it was really epic. Loved the presentation and the settings and everything about it. Really short, but sweet. Prbly continue playing the campaign since its just a little bit of everything.
Gameplay is awesome, and most of the maps are just super well designed. The beta was a little narrow, but man, the maps are just so much fun out of those maps shown before. Weapons, upgrades, everything so far has been a blast.
Picked this up on the xbox one last night, so much goddamn fun guys. Excellent work and kudos to the entire respawn team.
I absolutely adore the campaign mode and it makes me never want to go back to a traditional offline campaign experience ever again (as far as fps games where the mp is the star of the show in games like battlefield, cod, and even killzone)
^its true.. the whole presentation of the campaign going into MP matches, and the stuff going on throughout the match got me feeling really cool. i felt the whole match was more epic, and the audio, and effects are epic. I hope more MP games do this kind of stuff. It'll be hard to go play classic instead of campaign haha
I want to play this, I really do, but don't have the HD space, or have enough to put me at less than 10gb remaining. Hoping the 60% of the game being audio is a mistake, and is fixed. More time for Diablo and Dark Souls I guess!
whats so special about the campaign? is it still offline but with more 'intelligent' bot ? i'd like to get this game but for now $80 is a bit steep.
$80, For the base game and the season pass combined that wouldn't be too much unless you're just talking about the price of the base game itself being that high.
I haven't bought the game yet but I really like this approach to cheating in multiplayer:
Q.) So what happens if I get banned? A.) Great news: you get to keep playing Titanfall! Less-great news: you only get to play with other cheaters. You can play with other banned players in something that will resemble the Wimbledon of aimbot contests. Hopefully the aimbot cheat you paid for really is the best, or these all-cheater matches could be frustrating for you. Good luck.
I'm actually quite curious to see how that cheating system goes. People cheat on games for different reasons, some do it because they love pissing others off, I've seen some cheaters claim that they want to get back at the devs/publishers for being so greedy (despite the fact that they paid for the game -_-), and I've seen some people who cheat solely because they are completely incapable of playing the game whatsoever without having cheats.
Diablo 2's open battlenet functioned in a similar way to this and it involved tons of cheaters being able to cheat to their heart's content in a playlist separate from regular legitimate players. This was great because a large amount of the cheaters didn't care if they played against people who were cheating, they just wanted to play the game without actually having to spend the time to learn how to play the game.
I hope this system is successful in Titanfall because that would encourage other devs to give something like this a shot, and anybody that plays a lot of PC multiplayer knows that there are a ridiculous amount of cheaters in basically every online game. It'd be hilarious if they didn't tell you that you were banned, the reactions would be priceless! From my experience in counter-strike, many people seem to cheat because they suspect that every other person in the game is already cheating, so it's not like some of these people would even suspect that they got banned lol.

Im a nub at origin. Where do I find it in the program menu? Today is the only day of the week I can try this.

What game is worth $60 to you?
And there are some indie games i'd pay $60 for given the amount of fun I've had with them like Garrysmod and Red Orchestra

Can't wait to play this with some friends
3 consecutive matches in this room. Use your imagination. XD
I love Titanfall!!!!!
update:
it comes with 3 disks. lol.
