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

Played for two hours, it's good but I honestly dont get the hype. Visually (XB1) it's disappointing to say the least, the weapons are decent and I like the whole Titan aspect. It's not a justification to buy an Xbox One in my opinion.
 
Oh my

I did that..best feeling ever. Man this game even in beta form is fun and hell amazing.
 
There needs to be a way to identify who your friends are when you are playing. Like making them appear as green on the map instead of blue like in Battlefield.
 
Why are the textures locked on low? My rig can play BF4 on ultra!

You have to leave to the main menu to change the resolution and the texture resolution.
It is a little bit strange because there is another layer of menus so you think you are in the main menu but actually aren't.
 
Once again I feel it is my duty to stream some proper gameplay later today. So many Pilots on the ground, running in straight lines from point A to B! Its proving more difficult to get people out of old play styles than I thought...

Definitely agree with those sentiments! On the positive, the guys I was playing with last night on Xbox One were making a great effort to use the environment to their advantage and treat the ground like "hot lava" in a sense. It also is useful staying above everyone else because you can spot other pilots from a distance and plan your attack accordingly. I saw some of your stream last night, it's definitely gonna take some practice to get to your level of map traversal and speed, but learning the maps better will definitely help out in that regard.

Also, thanks a million for dropping codes in the key thread last night, that's how I got to try it out!
 
After 3 matches the game hasn't impressed me so far, I'll try playing more after this to see if it gets better.

For now I feel the only reason the game isn't called Call of Duty: Future Warfare it's because Activision doesn't publish it.
Titans replaced killstreaks, there's more mobility and dummy bots got included, lastly the lack of effort to make players work as a team is as present as ever in the CoD series.

I find the game a refinement of the CoD formula, unfortunately I've grown tired of this kind of multiplayer.

That's actually the reason I enjoy it. It feels like it's a proper evolution of the series.

I don't agree that titans are like kill streaks. Everyone gets one regardless of how well they're doing. Titan's also have huge disadvantages as well, They're not a Godsend. My second game I managed to kill 3 titans, One was in a titan battle, I ejected and landed on the back of their titan and went to town on it. Was was pretty much just a last hit scenario where it a few of us taking it down, and the last was a cloak and jump from roof top on to the titan's back. Also you can wall run and dropkick someone in the chest, which is absolutely hilarious. None of that type of game play is in call of duty. I feel like those who feel likes it's COD plays it like COD and are left unimpressed.
 
Thanks, good to know this laptop is capable. Do the drivers update automatically if newer ones become available? (sorry i am a new the PC gaming realm)

Not automatically by default. Go here and download the latest: http://www.geforce.com/drivers
The Nvidia software that gets installed along with the driver should keep it up to date, and let you know when new updates are out.

I've got a GeForce GTX 780M and when I start the tutorial I get a stuttering mess of smoke and nothing else. It says to look at some lights and there are none. Guess I need to upgrade my drivers?

I had a dumb moment with a similar issue to this. Do you have a laptop with an integrated card as well? If so, make sure to verify that the titanfallbeta.exe is using the NVIDIA card, and not the integrated.
 
Sitting in Teamspeak listening to my community talk about how little they like the game o.O

Looks like I'll be playing this on my own :(
 
FRAPS says I'm getting 60fps but the game is stuttering like mad for me no matter what video settings I use. Anyone else had issues with stuttering?

I'm using a laptop with a 650m and i7.

I get unplayable amounts of stutter with both Double and Triple Buffering Vsync enabled. For this Beta, I have Vsync turned off and I just deal with the tearing because it's much smoother.
 
I received a beta code for both PC and Xbox. Since I don't have an Xbox One, I don't need this code.
This is a beta code for XBOX only. Not entirely sure if it will work though.

I'll give it a shot. No idea what's causing it, super frustrating
 
On XOne.

Looks great, feels great. It's killed CoD as I've known it for me. They now have to make some changes to their formula to buy into that franchise again.

Will be double dipping on YF. It's that good to me.
 
Is there anyway to change the crosshairs and hit markers to be less invasive? I'd almost rather have neither at all if that's what they're going to look like. I think a game like killzone: sf did a better job of this.
 
How does the game perform on a 670 at 1080p?

I'm probably gonna get hate for asking this, but has anyone tried playing with a controller on pc? How does it do?


I have a GTX 670 with an i5 3570k.

Never drops on 60FPS (it's capped by the way for some reason).

Using the least amount of AA and High on textures (Apparently you need a 3gb GPU for Insane which I don't have).
 
Don't really play many shooters these days but from what I just played on the XBO I may just end up picking this game up. Game was fun.
 
Great impressions, will be picking it up around launch for the PC for sure (as long as there are no BF4 style issues)

the movement reminds me so much of the light class in Brink, had so much fun with that game, to bad it never caught on.
 
Man, the game is a mess on my PC.
Maybe I'll roll back from the AMD 14.1 beta drivers.

I'm getting all kinds of artifacts/text (like a font file or something) popping up on the screen. Everything is flickering.. I'm going to have a seizure.

Running crossfired 280x's.

Rolling back to stable drivers didnt help.. gonna try disabling crossfire.

EDIT: Disabling crossfire fixed it. Game runs buttery smooth maxed out at 1440p on one 280x.
 
Using the least amount of AA and High on textures (Apparently you need a 3gb GPU for Insane which I don't have).

I doubt that's meant to be the case though. The textures are not very high quality. Plus one of the guys at Respawn was puzzled as to why it was unable to run on 'Insane' texture quality on my 2GB card.

It seems to be some sort of bug to me.
 
You should watch the chick on twitch streaming under the username dexter_bl she went several games with 0 kills running around trying to kill pilots and grunts with the anti-titan weapons.

Might be the worst "gaming" stream I've ever seen, lol. Pretty blatant at what's *actually* going on.
 
My beta is currently installing (PC). How does the friend system work? I'm fairly sure I don't have a single friend in my origin list.
 
Been playing on Xbox One for the past couple hours, and the game is even better than I'd hoped it would be. So many "Xbox, record that" moments already, I can see myself playing this for months.

Everything is just so satisfying and polished.
 
Got a code this morning for Xbox and just got done playing a few matches. The beta feels sooooo good. I'm really digging the game so far. Pretty intense battles when I was going against 2 Titans vs mine. Was able to take one out and badly damage the second. Runs really smooth too. Graphics aren't anything special, but with the fast paced gameplay, you never have time to notice really.

Please keep code trading and begging in the other thread. Last warning. Anyone doing it past this point is going to catch a ban.
 
About an hour into it so far. I really like last titan standing, the other mode not so much since it feels to call of duty to me.
 
So I played a match, and it was pretty fun, decided to give my computer a reboot before playing any more and now it wont let me select play from my origin game library..... might have to get back on with tech support.
 
PC impressions

After 14 tries, I could play the Training once and play 0 times the game. The server would give me a time out, at different time. A few times when I press "play", others when I choose the mode, others when finished loading the level and most of them when searching a server.
 
I get unplayable amounts of stutter with both Double and Triple Buffering Vsync enabled. For this Beta, I have Vsync turned off and I just deal with the tearing because it's much smoother.

Just started. I thought it was bad in training, it only got worse online. Turned those settings on to see if it got better, and it got worse. I was having multiple tears on one frame. It was making me want to vomit. Turned off double/triple buffering. And you're right it does help, but it's still very much there.
