5 hours so far.
how would they spin it that the servers were working for XBO/PC but not 360? The gaming community would tear them apart with such a transparent lie

Hours so far. As Nathan exacts is at 5.
Alright, the game will have server problems upon launch for 3 days on and off. Who else is going to take that bet and go under or over?
There is no prize other than bragging rights, no ban bets or anything
I'll take the over.
I was hoping to play this on my pc more,but I guess I'll just do some physics homework.
i'll say... no problems at all.

Those numbers aren't accurate. Origin is really weird with downloading stuff. It tells you that you're downloading more/faster than you actually are. The beta DL size is actually around 5/6GB instead of 12. I've got no idea why it's like that.
You'll easily be able to play it (it's a source game after all), but it doesn't seem as optimized as say, Portal 2.
If you get nasty stuttering like I did, just disable vsync and you should be good to go.
I'm really interested to see what things Respawn have kept hidden up their sleeve. They keep mentioning they have stuff that is yet to be seen which they have started to touch on with things like the Burn Cards.. Imagine if they have one final thing to announce that is mind blowing. One can dream for more cream on top right?

Is everyone getting their Titanfill? This is just the tip of the giant iceberg.

I wanna play
fix survurz plz
fix survurz plz
there currently isn't an ETA
My connection is shit, my top speeds on any website or program is about 880kbs tops.
This is what I was getting on there this morning.
Something that would have normally taken me a whole night to download took me less than 2 hours to download.
I was so amazed I had to take a screenshot because I will never see speeds like that again.
I don't know how is it possible because I have 2mb connection where my top speeds are around 450kb/s and this beta was downloading sometimes at 3mb/s.I downloaded it in 3h and normally it takes around 5h for 10GB.
It doesn't matter though because there are no servers!

No you won't. Not tonight at least.

It decompresses while installing, I assume. My data usage app suggests the download was in the 5GB range.

I was running at 60fps with it completely maxed out except insane textures. adjust accordingly.

So it seems.
This is the second Origin game I've downloaded in the last couple of weeks and they both did this. Either Origin has a special deal with Comcast (and other ISPs from the looks of things) to ignore customer speed caps, or they're not calculating things correctly.
Since I checked the bandwidth monitor on my router and found the same ~3.5 MB/sec speeds that I get from Steam and other sources, I'm going with the latter.
Seeing as how all that I've been able to experience of Titanfall so far is the intro splash screens and the title screen background, I've decided it only appropriate to rate my experience so far.
I'll give it a 7/10 -- the title screen background graphics do look quite exciting, but they're a little dark for my tastes.

It's Microsoft's Titanfault.
Indeed. It's not accurate.
The files are compressed, so you're only downloading 5-6gb.
If it bases the displayed download speed on the percentage of the data that is downloaded and the total size of the installed game, you get funky numbers.

Part of the tutorial has AI. AI is server-based.

Yeah I figured. No worries, I got to pay attention to the lady tonight anyways
Better idea: get popcorn and watch the infinite No Servers Found screen. She'll love it. Just absolutely love it!

Look but don't touch.
I had a window popup during install showing the Titanfall Audio Decompression Utility that unpacked 6 GB of audio files. I asked a couple of other people and they didn't report seeing that. I guess I'm special, and also, beta.
The bots you see in the tutorial are still powered by the cloud. Tbh it feels like buying a disc is just a license to play the game, since it has all the functionality of a coaster if the servers are down.

I heard they are patching in an industry standard 4th Titan. That is why its taking so long.
