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

Completed the tutorial and played some minutes of a game.
As acrobatic FPS lover, I was afraid about the fact that wall running could feel 'stiff' and 'consolish' but it's pretty fluid, versatile and feels soooooooooooo good with K+M.
Lovely done, Respawn!
 
Want to post this again because I really want to play. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello. Has anyone had the game continuing to search for data centres? I've not been able to play it yet on PC as a result and its been like this for fifteen minutes. Has anyone else had this on the PC beta?

Ta.

Really enjoying it so far, the bots are fairly pointless but they at least seem to add to the sense of a bigger battle. The titan is interesting, it seems quite well balanced from what I've played so far, they really do take some thought to get the most out of them, charge straight in and chances are you'll be overwhelmed and destroyed pretty quickly. The sniper isn't very good but I'm not sure whether it's just the types of maps we're seeing, the game seems far too quick for them you'll mainly be picking off the bots with it instead.

I have no idea where to post this but apparently #TitanFallPS4 is a thing.
I guess if this thing gets big it will at least prevent Microsoft from locking the sequel.

Not here. If someone wants to start a thread about, fine. Otherwise I'm going to start banning folks for port begging and off topic posts.
 
I got an ogre titan card. So I can summon a free titan at the start of a match. AND its a titan thats not even available in the menu.
 
Just installed the game and booted it up, doing the training section and it's as if my mouse is locked to the centre of my screen.

Whenever I look around it's really jittery. Anyone had this problem? I thought it was fps drops but it's running at a solid 60.

It's frustrating when you get stuck with people who don't use the verticality of the maps to their advantage and just run around like it's CoD. Also people firing small arms at Titans is hilarious because they get destroyed seconds later.
 
I just wish the buildings/environments had some element of destructibility to them >< After destroying stuff in BF4 it feels weird to have invulnerable office buildings vs. powerful mechs.

Basic stuff would be interesting but as soon as TItans start ruining every building, pilots have no place to use their jumping and wallrunning skills. Just like it happens in the BF series. ALl maps end up desolate waste which are perfect for Snipers and vehicles to dominate.
 
Runs great, is fairly fun, but there isn't anything here to keep me interested for more than a day or two. Probably be back to battlefield 4 this time tomorrow.
 
2 things.

I need to add more friends for this beta. My Origin tag is College_boy4

Second, is it possible to bump up the texture resolution? Mine is stuck at grey and my PC isn't even breaking a sweat.

As far as early impressions. Smart pistol sucks (without the grenade trick) but the rest of the guns feel great. I don't see why any titan wouldn't use the 40mm cannon on PC. Free running is so smooth in this game and I only had a few minutes to practice!

Back to main menu and you can change it to higher settings.

I think a few people are not doing this and then moaning about the textures. :D
 
Runs well enough on my Macbook retina (under windows).

I feel that the movement mechanics and the titan gameplay are about good enough to be games in and by themselves, though its the integration into the whole combat loop that really seals the deal.

It really works as a whole. On foot it plays a lot like COD without the killstreaks.

Never been a fan of competitive MP, but this is about fun enough for me to give it a shot.
 
Wish it was 5:30 so I could be at home playing the beta. Such a great game. Like I said about the alpha I'm so glad that motion sickness will not be a issue for me.

What did you expect from a Beta/Demo?
Click to expand...

It has nothing to do with expectations. Please don't get your panties in a wad just because one person isn't gushing over this game.

The core gameplay isn't changing from beta to release. There will be more titans, more weapons, more maps, but the core gameplay will be almost exactly what it is now with minor variations. That gameplay isn't going to hold my attention for very long, YMMV.

Fair enough. I personally think that all the additions like more weapons, Titans, Maps etc and more modes will show a more accurate timeframe to how much enjoyment people will get out of a game and not just from Beta/Demo content.

Its ok if you don't like it or don't see yourself putting much time into it. Its not for everyone. I am not forcing people to like it or to agree with my own thoughts on the game. :D

We are having some issues allocating new servers (not enough duct tape). MS is all over it, will update asap. #betawoes

I don't see how this helps me considering I am on PC and not on Xbox One, unless I'm incredibly simple and I'm missing something.

My main issues with the gameplay is that the engagement ranges are all very short, pilots die very quickly, and titan fights usually boil down to who brought the most titans/pilots. Engagements don't develop, they start and end in the blink of an eye which doesn't give you much time to do anything besides unload everything into your target, dodge while reloading, rinse/repeat.

These aren't things I see changing just by adding maps(of similar size), titan variations, and additional weapons.

Personally I also hate that I can't carry my entire team to victory on my back, and get forced to play with scrubs by the matchmaking. :)I assume there will be a party system at release so the 2nd problem won't be a problem which will also remove the need for the first. :P

How long did it take you guys to DL on xbox? I got a 60mbps connection and it's inching along.
Click to expand...

Strange, my DL took like 20 min. (I have 80 mb/s internet). Then again, my DL speeds for X1 are usually awful. The Alpha (which was smaller), took a longer time to DL than this. So maybe I just got lucky.
