After playing a bit of the campaign, I only have one thing to say about BT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eiwpZS3Vqg

TITANFALL 2 |OT| Don't Misgender Tone.

I disconnected while i was in game and then later closed the game and origin. Upon trying to load Origin back up I get this issue. This was my second time doing this, my first time everything was fine and Origin reverted to saying the game wasn't unlocked in my region yet until I went through the VPN again. So for whatever reason on the second time something in Origin went weird.
Edit - I uninstalled then reinstalled origin and I can finally get back in with the game saying it'll unlock for my region, fixed but weird, oh well thanks for response though.

i have a badass HTPC, but that would have me using a controller in a mouse/kb world, so i guess i need to get this for a console.
has there been any detail on performance across the xbone and ps4 yet?

Is there a way to have crouch be hold not toggle on controller/consoles? Doing slide hop with toggle crouch is a pain in the ass.
if i remember correctly there was a toggle on off

You can bind hold crouch or toggle crouch with a keyboard but no options for controllers.

Single Player took me about 4 and a half hours, I played on Normal though, really short but extra sweet. I had a really great time with it, I think the comparisons to DOOM are pretty spot on in that this is just a really great shooter campaign. Plays amazingly.
My only main issue with it was that in between missions and even just sections of missions, there is a lot of jarring cuts to black. It would of been nice to see more seamless transitions and maybe some more cut scenes to fill in the gaps of some areas. I liked where they went/did with BT and Jack, even if it didn't feel 100% there (Jack isn't really a character, honestly none of the humans really are) but it still felt so much better to see this type of story over a generic military campaign, though it still is that considering the evil bad guys with Doomsday weapon plot.
I didn't feel as connected to BT as I wished or hoped that I would, but it was there enough to make the story commendable.

Yea but I was able to unlock every single titan within like 2 hours. You start with 20 credits for free just for logging in the game, and ronin is 10, another one is 10, and legion is 20.

2016 will likely go down as the generation's most defining year where shooters were at their peak powers.
Is 2016 the 2007 of this gen?
for sure.

Literally the exact thing I was thinking.
Too bad Mass Effect didn't make it and there's no Valve game so we could fully emulate that glorious year. xD

The cast to black was due to Source engine's mandatory loading.

Tone is amazing. I love her as much as Scorch. So fun.

Ah, I had figured it was engine stuff, forgot this is technically still modified Source.

I'm trying to contain my hype but it's reaching the critical mass of when I first saw the E3 multiplayer trailer.
If you're at Respawn: Frostbite is probably off the table, do you think you guys would move to UE4 as your main engine or are you pretty comfortable with modified Source at this point (for any future Titanfall games)?

I'm so bad at the gauntlet, my best time is 37 seconds which is way, way to low for the top 3 achivement
I'm not at Respawn lol. But from my understanding their tech and gameplay systems are built upon the nature of source (unique physics attributes that make bunny hopping possible in the first place, and source was the only engine that can satisfy Titanfall's massive asset streaming at the time they were building R1), it is probably not very effective nor financially reasonable to do it all over again, with the risk of not being able to recreate what they did with a new engine.
You are not wrong!

I love the grappling hook so much I can't wait to play tonight. That grapple kick feels so good.

Waiting till it unlocks in my region to do MP since even nothing would load right now, how is attrition? I saw some comments when it first got revealed to be coming back that only a few maps support it or something, please tell me that's wrong.

They could always do some engine tests, port over some small sections into UE4 and see what they could do. In my opinion, while they certainly seem to have made the best looking game that's used Source as a base, the engine is definitely showing age and there's only so much you can do on it.
R2 showcases Respawn's terrific art design but it really is held back by a somewhat disappointing and dated visual set. Hopefully they can find a solution for R3 where they can maintain that perfect gameplay feel but crank up their visual game.

Was Source picked for asset streaming? I thought it was because of the (later unnecessary) need for 60fps on PS3 since they didn't have access to any of their tools from IW.
