probably when i will buy the controller. hope it's out before the game launches.
Hopefully you can just plug in play with usb this time around.

Unless they have an option to allow for controller-only matchups this is going to be a pretty terrible way to play online.

Weird. I thought they said there was no auto-aim (a while back). I hope it's not too strong. Anyone remember Crysis 2 before they patched it out? Lolololol.

I'm wondering what Titanfall will run like on my 2500k/570/12GB
I'm reallllly contemplating going PC with this one, but I own an Xbox One so it seems counter-intuitive.
I also wonder what the player base will be like in terms of populations. I might just wait and see how it all pans out instead of jumping in on day one.

It's not surprising that using a controller on PC will bring auto-aim with it, that's what they've been demoing the game with since E3 last year.
Haha, no kidding.
You have to connect it through a USB cable. There is currently no way to connect it wirelessly to your PC.
The only way that is physically possible is through a dongle, since otherwise you have nothing to receive the controller's signal. An Xbox One doesn't need a dongle because the receive is already built into the machine.Oh man, Halo 2 Vista was the worst offender, if your reticule so much as got close to a body, it would automatically lock into their heads until you killed them.
I do hope this means we get the drivers eventually. The DS4 is fantastic but I want to use the X1 controller for all my PC games except fighting and Dark Souls 2.

Only the TF edition controller though, right?

Nice. The trusty 360 pad can finally be retired from service.
I think that setup will still be able to give you 1080p/60fps, if you turn some settings down. Still seems like an upgrade over the supposed 720p/60fps (with probable drops) on the One.
Dude.. they'll have better hacks than that before public beta. The amount of cheating on pc fps is staggering.

Hell yeah.
This has singlehandedly made me decide to get the game on PC.
Can't wait to rek KB/M users who can't into situational awareness and will blame their deaths on map design, spawns, campers, broken guns, or what have you.

Wait auto aim or aim assist? Did Titanfall alpha have auto aim??

I think you know what you have to do.
Good luck to all your Xbox controller players.
I hope there is native Steam controller support when it is out. A controller that might be able to compete with mouse/key.
Ugh, so true. Over/under days after launch until auto aim is patched out: 14

That's what I was thinking too....ahh decisions.
that's why most PC servers have server-side scripts/ plug-ins like vote kicking and tons of moderators. ironically, i just found out titanfall on PC won't have community hosted dedicated servers.
You can only have a pristine experience through Microsoft controlled Azure servers. Meh. This is a worse decision than supporting Origin. I don't want console restrictions on my PC game.

Nice. Though I actually think the Xbox One controller is a step down from the 360 controller.
Can I sync my Xbox One controller using my 360 dongle? How would you go about using a XBO controller on PC otherwise?
I think I am sold on the PC version. Feb 14th will tell.

people use controllers in FPS if they don't care about their performance or if they play with friends from the couch. more serious players will dominate them with keyboard and mouse.
You can use any micro-usb cable and it'll send the data down the wire.

what about 360 controller?
Use the 360 controller then. I doubt it would "only" support the XBO controller.
I don't know much about the Xbone and its controller, but here are some random thoughts about it working on PC:
1) There's no actual wired version of the Xbone controller (yet). Googling around, it seems that it has a microUSB port to USB cable that effectively makes it a wired controller, which I guess is how it'll work over "wired."
2) For wireless support, Microsoft would probably have to release a new dongle. I can't see the current 360 PC wireless dongle working with Xbone controllers.

Is the DS4 currently not working with PC games? If I can't use my DS4 then I still have my DS3 which works perfectly fine.
Pre-ordered physical version btw.
