Yeah. Is it immature I hope they do too?
Agreed. As someone who wont be playing until my phyiscal copy comes in from amazon sometime tuesday, I'll already be far enough behind, not counting the 4days people are already going to have on me. I know it's not a ranked competition style game and we should give them the benefit of balance doubt, but, I'd still feel better if there were resets.

I don't think it will matter much in the big scheme of things. A handful of people will be ahead, but thousands more will start at the same time you do.
So since my game crashed and I'm back in the ever "No Servers found" horror, let me talk about the maps. I've played:
Airbase-I really like the art design/aesthetics but I'm kinda shaky on how it actually plays.
Angel City-Same as beta
Boneyard-Too much open space, can make it a bit hard for pilots at times
Colony-Favorite map. Lots of rooftops for pilots to have fun with, and Titans can get really involved.
Corporate-Pilot and Titan combat is way too segregated on this map.
Demeter-Alright, nothing special.
Fracture-Same as beta
Nexus-Decent amount of rooftops for pilots to interact with.
Outpost-Another favorite. Great skybox, color scheme, close quarters map, and not a lot of dead space.
Rise-Has some good chokepoints in the middle.
Training Ground-Too large. Designed more for Titan combat.
Relic-Too large. Designed more for Titan combat.
Smuggler-Not sure if you can interact with water. Nobody in any of my matches tried as it's way too far back. That said, great map as there are a lot of rooftops.
I haven't done:

That's probably going to be my #1 weapon.

It doesn't really matter. You have to play the campaign for the other two Titans regardless, so you should be matched with others just starting the campaign as well. By the time you're done with the campaign you'll be around 20 and ready to jump into classic mp with a lot of stuff unlocked.
I see training ground on stream right now.
Looks like a bunch of wasteland open space with some barracks spread... Hate the layout.
You could even tell from the top down photos.

I have a 550ti and I had to play with most things low and 720p to maintain 60fps. Maybe future patches will "tighten up the graphics" for us but I'm not holding out too much hope.
Thanks for the impressions. I take it you are not a huge fan of Titan combat?
I m going to consider it like using a DMR in a COD game.
They are manageable and are generally good, but will lose to a full auto AR or SMG 1v1 obviously.
Going to be one of those high ground/map knowledge weapons, which i like having the option of choosing, just not yet.
I need to learn these maps first (best routes to the high ground) and use the babby weapons whilst doing so lol.

They need to have single worldwide release date for that, otherwise they must do another stat reset on the final release date.

I am but more on a close quarters map like Angel City/Colony/Overlook.
Doesn't it have an attachment to increase it's RoF? With a good trigger finger it shouldn't be at a disadvantage.
Not that i know of personally.
If it does, then sure it should be fine.
It is loud though, much louder than the AR and SMG, but thats also manageable, though not at the same time.
Im not a fan of the sights, i need to see what else it has available.
I'm actually wondering now if the birds can reduce build time.
For the more open maps, reducing build time is everything.
Pretty much.
1 or 2 for every type.
Im guessing there will be more with DLC, which we may be learning about on monday.

Don't recall seeing my build time reduced when I tried it. All it did was fly away.
It doesn't do anything, not from what i saw.
No build time decrease.
Maybe if you shoot it enough it dies, i don't know.
He shot it quite a bit though.
Just wait for the review thread, this is nothing lol
Okay, that Titan railgun thing sucks against Titans.
He shot it after he called down his Titan, so that's no evidence.
I don't know. Slap in on a Stryder an with some controlled charging it might be decent.
And it's worth using just because of it looks.

The rail gun? No way. You must mean the arc cannon - crap against Titans. Great against infantry though.
Ah yes you are right.
But the person confirming my suspicion above is.
As well as my friend who just tried it after i asked him too and said he put 2 clips into it and nothing.
You also mean the arc cannon, which is only good when its used against clumped up enemies, including titans.
As a junior I'm gonna take a look but don't touch approach to the review thread...lol. The vitriol in some of those threads today is intense...and growing it seems which I didn't think was possible.
Hopefully this thread remains a safety zone...
Yea everyone is up in arms about resolution again and the future of thing.
Yeah, the Arc Cannon. It's going to take me forever to learn some of these names. I still mix up the word "Carbine" with the SMG in my head.

When is the review embargo? I'm still on the fence with this.

The release about the Season Pass said that there were no additional details on what would be in the 3 packs other than maps. Those details will be announced closer to each pack's release date.

"What content is included within the Season Pass."
"Each content pack will contain new Maps. All other content is still to be determined and will be announced as we get closer to their release."

Alright, final time: Are there any XOne pre-order deals better than the Microsoft store's $10 giftcard?
I need to know if that's the best place to move my Amazon pre-order over to before the window expires.
Thanks.

Man, I kind of hope they don't add extra weapons through DLC. I'd be happy with just more maps.

Cdkeys.com have the pc version of Titanfall for £25.99 which is the cheapest around. I haven't used the site before, but they have many many positive reviews. I'm gonna bite the bullet this weekend.
Has anyone used the guys before?
