Titanfall Beta (PC/Xbone) Impressions (No Key Begging/Trading or I will ban you!)

PAULINK

I microwave steaks.
Watching Bunnyhop's video as well as some of my recordings confirmed to me that a lot of people don't realize you can use your anti titan weapon on dropships. This needs to be in the full game's tutorial.

You can, but I found it pretty ineffective in the beta. If you're not shooting at it with a titan you might as well not bother.

Also, does not look like I can schedule to get off monday, otherwise I'd love to go to the titanfall launch event D:

The Rocket Launcher does pretty good damage to the ship imo

Does the Titan shoots the ship in Auto-pilot mode? can't remember :/

I disagree. Anything is worth using against it. I noticed a lot of teams getting away in the beta and it could have been easily prevented by just having everybody on the team shoot at it rather than the few titans we may have. The sidewinder was incredibly useful against it IMO.

Yes

EA and their release date bullshit once again. Preordered digitally from the UK, so i'd need to wait till the 14th. Then i can not play Titanfall since i should have Dark Souls 2 in my hands too.

Just preordered this via a mexican proxy. I was wary of purchasing it for a full $60 but for $37 it feels like the right price for me.

The gunplay and weapons being like Call of Duty isn't a bad thing, but I am personally tired of generic automatic weapons and using ADS (aiming down sights) in modern shooters. ADS slows down movement so much, and that's kind of the antithesis of the fast-paced movement and parkour in Titanfall. Using the pilot weapons in the beta felt fine, but I wish there was a medium range precision weapon that could be fired accurately from the hip. In other words, I want to kill people from a decent range while wallrunning and maintaining my momentum.

The great thing about arena shooters like Quake and Tribes is that your movement doesn't inhibit your ability to fire your weapon accurately. You can fly all over the map, killing people consistently (assuming you're being accurate and leading your shots well). Whereas in Titanfall, if you want to fire your weapon accurately, you need to slow down and use your ironsights, or get really close to your opponent and use a shotgun.

AGREED. Think about how much fun this game would be if the running/ moving was a biiiit faster and there was no aim down sights. Sprinting around the map twitch-shooting as soon as you see anyone?? That would be awesome.

I'm not trying to shit on the game. Its a lot of fun, the movement is truly innovative and it'll be a day one purchase for me on PC. I do wish that ADS would go away though.

You can't play a fast paced console shooter without ADS (or something similar) because your sensitivity would be too high to aim.

Is halo not an argument against this? Correct me if I'm wrong as I never played competitive halo.

Just got my pre-order in.
Quite fancy Origin tells you the moment you can preload and the moment the game unlocks.
Quite fancy indeed.

Just read that there's no private dedicated servers and zero mod support. Or local play... has any of this changed in the past few weeks? Disappointing if true.
 
Not sure where else to post this but apparently BestBuy.com is having a sale on Titanfall preorders. I just pre-ordered for store pickup and the total was 51.41 after tax. The site says sale ends today.

EDIT: Actually it might be because I'm a Gamers Club Unlocked member...

By private lobbies you mean the ability to custom host servers / buy a server from a server provider right?

No, he means specifically being able to set up custom matches separate from the public pool.

The game itself will always be tied to the Azure servers, short of someone hacking into the game(which did/does happen in Modern Warfare 2, actually)

Most fun I've had in a MP shooter since..... well, Unreal Tournament 2004.

So that's saying something semi-profound.
No need to pre-order, New Zealand is getting a tugboat full I've heard, we're sweet as bro.

Any word on the digital version for the xbox one? I think im going to go that route. Hopefully a preload and a non bugged out version are in store!
 
I have heard gamestop is letting you preorder the digital download code. I refuse to give them money ever again. Is anyone else offering it?
 
Hopefully GMG come through with a code before the 10th.
In case anyone else is in this situation, GMG don't know when they'll get Titanfall keys, but the usual for situations like this is around midnight for release day.

So if you stay up late to get your key, you may be able to preload by morning, all going to plan.
