Titanfall Beta now taking applications, the thread of begging and whining

I was up the whole morning, it's been like 5 hours.

I JUST got a Titanfall beta key.........................................but I have to go to work in 20 mins.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
Atleast it will be downloaded when you get home.

That's the case with me too :(
 
Honestly how many people even own a XB1 at this point? And how many are on xbox live?

Would it have been that bad to just make it an open beta.

Nobody will pay attention since everybody is focusing on the game but the way they handled this way extremely dumb.
 
As usual, I struck out on a PC code. A shame because I'm on the fence big time with this game. I'm not sure it looks like that it "feels" right, and I'm not trusting EA one bit on another one of their games that I can't try first.
 
I gotta get a root canal done today in an hour. Please can anyone pm me a xbone code, my afternoons gonna suck without titanfall.
 
It's been like four hours since I got the email telling me I'd get a new key and I've been connecting to a live chat since 12am last night. Shame on me for not buying a fucking Xbox One, I guess.
 
I managed to get myself and 3 friends a code for that. Codes were errywhere. Its like a desert of codes this time. I'm so thirsty but I can't find any coca-cola in this desert.

Yeah, this was way more annoying. Gears had a share account here which made it much better, but I remember when I tried making one for Mass Effect 3 they plugged that stuff.
 
Every time people post about getting codes and I check my email

if people are exchanging X1 codes for PC codes, i'd love one of the leftover X1 codes... i'm still waiting for my email (and i'm home because of the snow! what a waste!)
 
I got a code from a Gaffer that will go anonymous per request.

Super stoked to get off work tonight and get to my PC. Om nom nom.

Now to read up on how easy it is or isn't to set up a Dual Shock 4 to my PC to play it on since I suck with kb/mouse like no other.

When I get my extra code I will bless a fellow GAFfer. :)

Exactly. Ms spent millions securing this game and they obviously want the xb1 version to do the best. So why didn't they just let anyone with a xbone get in?

That sounds good in theory, but any server outages would make for very bad PR. People tend to be very vocal over twitter.
 
I have been wondering if this is what they're doing by "accidentally" sending people the Xbox One code when they didn't sign up for it.
But there really wouldn't be much point to that except annoying some people. No one is going to buy a Xbox one just because they got the wrong code mailed.

What I don't understand is why they had everybody rush to sign up on the website then have it be a random draw. Then give out a bunch of codes to people before sending out the emails. Then they gave the people they gave codes to more codes to give out before they gave half the people who signed up theirs. What was the point of signing up?

They shouldn't be having any server outages. Other games have done it right in the past. And it's not like the azure servers are really being used up by anything else right now.
 
OK, I stepped away from my desk for a while and missed everyone's replies and now they're all taken care of.

If anyone has a XBone code they want to trade for a PC code, PM me.

EDIT NVM. My buddy found a code. If anyone just needs a PC code shoot me a PM.
