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

Doing the tutorial right now on PC, Vsync gives me bad stutter and makes it unplayable. Have to turn it off for now and deal with the screen tearing.

Came to post this as well. Double Buffered, Triple Buffered, doesn't matter, the stuttering is awful. D3DOverrider doesn't seem to work on this game either so I'm stuck using in-game settings, or try forcing it in Nvidia Inspector with no triple buffering. Hopefully this is fixed in the final game because I can't stand screen tearing.

So before the servers went down...I called down a Titan and it landed on an enemy Titan and killed it instantly. Pure luck. I didn't know this was possible.

I think I'm pretty much sold on this game.

I've been trying this since I started playing the beta. About 50 matches and no luck yet.
 
They need to speed up the Hacking of the Bots. It takes ages to get the Knife out and hack them to your side. Seems like a cool idea if they flesh it out.
 
Game runs incredible well for me. Everything max, 8xMSAA it just bounces on the 60 no matter what at 1080p. Doesn't dip at all. 3570K@4.5 and 770. At 1440p it doesn't go below 50.

Now bring back servers please. I've had a long day and need to sleep soon.
 
Finally got a code, downloaded and installed...servers are down. :(

Luckily I have absolutely zero plans this weekend aside from watching some NBA All Star action.

Can't wait to get in and see what this is all about!
 
So far the game runs great. I cranked everything up and it's a steady 60 fps indeed. It's not exactly a graphical showcase but it's good enough since it's really fun to play. I'm digging the fast paced twitch action that's for sure.

Most of the non ai players I've run into seem to be perched high above, trying to peg people off with that auto-lock pistol :lol

Having a pack of personal Spectre bodyguards is so sweet, though. Hacking them doesn't just make them come to your team, they will also follow you around on Guard mode.

I've had that happen a few times. I laughed my ass off the first time. Knowing he was just plodding along, mowing down grunts. Next thing you know he's sticking to my Titan's foot.

I hear ya. PC version, no servers for 10 minutes now.
 
Well, I finally got my Origin account flagged for the beta. I'm kinda stoked I managed to get in both the PC and X1 version. Will try the PC beta when I get home.
 
So this game is AMAZINGLY fun and i despise FPS games with a passion I mean try them but i just give up isntantly this one had me coming back for more - I am mostly a RPG guy but dang


BUT i suck really really bad I think the most kills i ever got was 7 pilot kills with the sniper rifle for any of my FPS bros/gals on xbox or PC any advice how to make your aim awesome because i stink lol im always weaving it all over the place
 
I dont understand the bot complaints. They add to the feel of the game, make it feel like a larger battle. The game is perfectly balanced around 6v6, any more or less wouldnt work IMO. Possibilities of too many titans rolling around at once. You don't like killing bots? Then don't kill them.

They DO have an affect on the game. When there are too many swarming around their concentrated fire can take you down as a pilot and can definitely affect your shields in your titan.

It's coming from people who probably didn't even play it...they're totally functional "creep" units that speed the game flow up.
 
some other thoughts

The game is fun but is very shallow. The maps are very unimaginative and bland.

I know I will get flamed for this but if you compare what you get with BF4 and compare to Titanfall there is no way they should be charging the same price.

Is MS managing the PC version? Shouldn't it be EA?

Microsofts Azure servers are being used for all platforms.

Bit of a silly complaint that due to being completely different types of games. The maps in the beta are perfect for the type of game that Titanfall is.
 
Enjoying the game so far, going to run a stream in about 5 hours, if anyone wants to hop onboard for some party play then, that would be great.

What do you mean flagged? EA support? I have a friend who is mad that I didn't give him a code. Seriously.
 
Just my bloody luck. Got my key first thing this morning about 15 hrs ago. Finished my shift at work, entertained my son and got him to bed, organised dinner for me and the other half, spent some time with her and finally get time to just on the Xone, only to get hit with. 'no servers found'.

Is there a way to minimize the game? Alt-tab doesn't work.



Everyone's getting that.

I would start raging but its a beta and Origin Customer support was good enough to add it to my game list without asking any question. so ill just play a match of dota and return
 
Dammit. I was in a game but backed out, and yeah, now it's not finding anything.

Hilariously enough, Titanfall feels more cinematic than the SP campaign of a CoD game.

I'm 100% serious.

Pretty much. This is emergent gameplay at its best, far more fun than any scripting.
