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

So what are the differences between Ogre, Atlas, and Stryder from people who have used them? I've only gotten Atlas cards unfortunately.
 
Just used the Stryder. You have 3 dash bars and you move a ton faster. Core ability is unlimited dash. Its pretty good. Honestly I like the stryder now more than the Atlas. Ogre can rot in hell.
 
I've been playing for a few hours now and come to the conclusion that this game isn't for me.

Good:
- The contrast of titans and pilots on the same battlefield.
- Movement is maybe the best I've seen in an FPS.
- Maps aren't designed around choke points (that comes mostly down to the pilots' mobility).

Bad:
- The AI soldiers tend to make bigger fights a bit awkward, I'd rather just play 6v6.
- Way too quick to kill a pilot. This is my main problem, and it's the one that breaks the game for me. I have no interest in multiplayer games where it takes two SMG bullets to kill another player.

With all of the verticality in the game making the pilots bullet sponges would result in even less kills per game.. I can barely get 10 a game.
 
Played for about 2 hours on PC. So much fun, even with randoms. Using a DS4, didn't really feel like I was at a disadvantage, although the auto aim may make it a little tougher to get those critical hits on titans.

Runs buttery smooth 1080p maxed out on my machine (i5 3570k stock, 7950, 16 GB RAM), but that was kinda to be expected, as it isn't a graphical showcase.

If anyone wants to party up, add me on Origin. My ID is TKRunningRiotBF.

Hey how are you using the DS4 on PC??
 
How useful is it to have your Titan in follow mode while you kill people that try to rodeo it? It seems like a decent distraction to kill pilots. I'm guessing it's sub optimal though, but then again I've no idea how much people have figured out when it comes to using their Titans when outside of them.

Damn. that sounds great.

Has its pros and cons like most things here. Pros are the fairly obvious Titan backup + pilot attacking, though it labels it clearly as autopilot so people will probably know better than to rodeo it. It gets demolishes by player controlled titans as it's very sporadic on how it moves around, so it won't effectively dodge heavy hits. Unless you're on the ball and try to Rodeo them while they fight you, which can be pretty cool.

I have had success with it when I don't want to use a Titan(usually when I'm rolling shotgun in Angel City) but fracture seems much more Titan geared and it'll get stomped pretty hard.

My auto-titan has definitely scored some kills, they are not completely dumb.
auto titan is no replacement for a pilot, but it can hold its own against one titan. Against two, its dunzo.
 
Because your saying My opinion on the game is in the minority, or is not the correct mindset.

Am I right?
No. I said that the game isn't overhyped.
The Gucci Messiah called you out on it. No one else is attacking my opinion like you are.

This is an impressions thread, there can't be anyone who dislikes, or isn't head over heals in love with the game?
I remember saying "Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean that it's over hyped."
If you think that means I am attacking your opinion, that's not my fault.
Just keep the conversation civil and I won't call you out, or be derogatory towards you.
Please point out where I am not "civil".

Don't get upset and resort to personal attacks, just ignore his trolling. The rest of us understand what you're trying to say.

What the hell?
 
No one knows how to get the Stryder and other titan burn cards?

They're rewards for challenges. If you go through your challenges to see the rewards you might find them if you're far enough in. I've gotten atlas and strider as challenge rewards already. Nice to have a Titan at the very start of the round, lol. I posted about this once or twice, you probably could have found it with a search. :P
 
This is a beta, not sure why you're judging it as a finished product.

Especially when content is the key to keeping things from becoming boring in most multiplayer-centric games. That content is in the final and whatever they produce for players as DLC later. If all I had to play in a CoD beta was two maps or so and a limited look at modes, weapons, perks, and mods, I know that I couldn't judge its longevity until I had the final release and a look at expansion content first.
 
Does anyone know if your unlocks and levels from the beta will carry over into the full game?

IMHO you wouldn't want them to since you'd lose all the nice burn cards from challenges you've already completed. Hopefully they add a stat reset option.
 
I entered the code and downloaded the Beta on the Xbox One and when I click to start, it goes back to the Home page.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thank you.
 
X1 version here, this game is really fun, too bad the beta is extremely limited in terms of content since I'm having a complete blast. The map movement as a pilot is so fluid and fun. With that said, Angel City is easily the better map since as a pilot you can move from wall to wall easier and the confined spaces make it so much fun.
 
Here's a few screenshots. 1920x1200, everything maxed out, no downsample.

Me getting ripped from my Titan:
 
Just played a couple rounds of attrition. Pretty fun game.

Is the framerate locked at 60fps, though? :/

And is it possible to get FOV above 90?
 
Just had my first go, absolutely loved it. It's true that you could see it's been dumbed down cos you can kill ai bots, but I found myself taking down a mix of ai and humans anyway.

Loved fighting the titans on foot as a human, being able to jump and climb up on roofs is really fun as the titans can't jump so it balances it out.

Surprised at how nice it looks on the XBone, not amazing but very smooth and clear on my telly.

Can't wait for the proper game now!
 
Wanted to echo the complaints about low health/low recoil.

The gunplay feels weak in that regard. I have to assume higher health would lead to frustrating chase/escape sequences, which they likely wanted to avoid.

Also, are those all the weapons there are?

How are people finding the smart pistol?
 
I've seen several people streaming and getting well over 60. Do you have vsync on?

Nope, I always turn it off for multiplayer shooters.

120 fps here would be great. I get 60 no matter what's on screen at max settings, so I should be able to achieve 120 easily by turning a few things down.
 
Wasn't it announced that the pc version has aim assist with a pad? Has anyone tried it in the beta? Hard to imagine a pad could keep up with kb/m in such a fast paced game.

Using controller, have a 2.7 KDR against other players.

Been MVP for over half my matches.

For some it is, for others it isn't (no idea why). I'm locked at 60fps even with vsync off, yet totalbiscuit (for example) in his video stated he was getting 90+fps.

The more I play this, the more I love it. Got my 1st top score (using a 360 pad I might add) and was pulling pilots out of titans left right and centre, also scored my 1st enemy ejected single shot headshot from titan :D.

I need the full game now god dam it!.
 
The new xbox patch has helped the game look better for sure.

Anyone else have always run on? Been playing with it and I actually like it. This + bumper jumper.

Frame rate is locked at 60.

The only way to get more is if your monitor supports 120hz and you enable V-Sync, which then caps it at 120 FPS. It's actually pretty funny.

For the moment it is 60fps i do hope at release i go way above that with my 120hz monitor. And FoV is 90 i don't know if it is going to get any higher.

I fiddled around and couldn't get a locked 120 no matter what I turned down. With a mix of high/medium I was able to get 120 probably 70% of the time but it would drop down to the 80s/90s every so often. And it wasn't just during intense battles it would just sorta happen.

I have yet to just crank everything on low and see what happens but I felt like I should have been able to run it perfectly at those settings. It is just a beta though.

What I ended up doing was turning off my backlight strobe and setting the refresh to 60 and then cranked everything as high as it would go. Its blurry but its steady. Kinda wish I had actual gone through with the gsync mod now.

I think someone said you have to disable V-Sync in your graphics card settings and use the one in Titanfall. That seems to link it to your monitor refresh and ups it. Not 100% sure if this was legit. :D
