Vince Zampella tweeted that the first batch of codes went out at 6PM PST / 9PM EST. So looks like the rest of us are hoping and praying to receive codes tomorrow.

Play it, you're taking up somebody else's spot. Or sell it.

In the Giantbomb stream, Jeff says that the pistol is good for getting grunt kills really quickly so you can get access to your Titant faster, but that it's pretty bad against human players because they have more health and that pistol doesn't do much damage to them. Are you finding that to be the case?
Okay, cool. May the Valentine's Day gods smile upon me.
They never have before.
I've been getting kills with it fairly easily. The only weakness is that it takes a 1/2 second to lock on but if you're juking it's not hard to dodge then get a kill.

Definitely, it's almost useless in PVP if the other player sees you first.
He then said that they actually didn't go out and should actually be sent soon.

Yes, you are correct. He now says they should go out at 8:30PM PST / 11:30PM EST.

Will a code come in my email, or should I just be checking Origin?

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out why it exists after 3 rounds.

Yes really. And we all know why they're there, to make the game feel less empty.

In attrition each AI is worth 1 attrition point while a human is worth 4 as well as each action earning downtime on a Titanfall.
I don't know why I can't run it pretty solidly ;__;
I can run stuff like Borderlands 2 at med-high/1600x900 and hit 40-60 frames but with Titanfall I'm getting anywhere from 15-40 at low settings/1366x768.
Was that you playing with Total Biscuit?

They really need to be a lot more aggressive.
Unless that pistol has been buffed since the last time i played it, its not as good as you would think vs players. It doesn't 1-burst kill players like it does grunts(?). You'll more likely be killed by anyone who's looking at you in a 1v1 situation.

Sounds to me like Respawn did a lot of modifying to the Source engine and for whatever reasons it isn't as optimized as before. I can run Left 4 Dead 2 on just an AMD A8-5500K APU at 1080p max settings and hit an average of 40 - 50 FPS with a lot of zombies on screen.

Yep.
...isn't that exactly what it adds to the gameplay?
People can leave the lobby if they want to mess with their loadout.
It might make sense now, when everyone is still unlocking stuff, but in the end it's a waste of time.

I would say it's more satisfying killing a human player since the AI is pretty stupid and tend to clump up to be killed.
I had a 4 AI kill with one grenade because they all hid in the same ditch. That definitely didn't make me feel accomplished.
I just started using it with the camo ability. Seems fairly easy to get kills with it. Maybe the meta hasn't been fully explored yet but it seems really strong at the moment.
Yeah, that's what I gathered from the limited time I'd watched too. Hoped I just had too small a sample size. :/
Was hoping the need to offer substantially higher firepower in titans would mean that pilot v pilot combat would be more drawn out, at the very least. Looks like they wanted to keep low ttk, though.
I'll probably still give it a shot, but set my expectations accordingly. May not be my next big console shooter, but maybe it'll be enjoyable in a CoD4 kind of way for a month or so.
I scored one of the codes dropped by DKo5 for PC. I am impressed and having an absolute blast even though I am a console shooter guy. The only PC shooter I really play is TF2. Not gonna lie there is a lot going on with the keys for admittedly a keyboard/mouse scrub but I still have been top or near in my last several games after getting the feel for it. I like the 3rd Assualt mech and just play aggressive as can be.
Just reached level 6 and I can build custom classes it seems so I decided to grab dinner and take a lil break to rave about Titanfall. Real deal folks, Microsoft got their monies worth on the console exclusive. Looks like I might even end up getting a Xbone this year after all.

That does add something to the gameplay.
I also think that, and this is something that I haven't seen brought it up, they make great distractions. If you're trying to run away, weaving through a crowd of ally AI is decent way of doing so if you're not shooting your weapon and putting yourself on the radar.
Anyways, I feel like media doesn't do the movement in this game justice. You are disgustingly mobile. I've gone entire matches where I just never stop moving and am constantly stalking enemy players on the rooftops. You kind of have to do that when you have the smart pistol, but it's phenomenal that the game facilitates the fact that you're basically Batman with a gun. I thought the wall running and mantling was going to be a little more canned than they are, but it's insanely fluid.
Performance is weird on PC, though. it feels like I'm getting stuttering even though FRAPS is telling me it's running at 60. I can't figure out what the hell is up.

I would never say they're as satisfying to defeat as another player, just that it's more fun having them there as opposed to running around an empty map.
Having a higher player count would also solve that problem, of course.
