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

I can't wait to finally get a code and then everyone on the game is already awesome and destroys me. I guess not getting a code at all would be equally as awesome considering I wasted an entire day off waiting for sign ups and then I wasted another entire day off trying to snag a code from twitter. This Titanfall beta is making me a sad panda. Any word on future beta emails?

Good to hear! Wonder how it would run at 1440p with 2xMSAA
Click to expand...
2xMSAA = 60
4xMSAA = 60 during no action going on and 40 - 50 during tons of action going on
8xMSAA = 60 during no action going on and 40 - 50 during tons of action going on - getting weird graphic error on smoke effect.

All maxed out, 60 fps at 1080p all the time. Can't complain.

It has some truth to it, however it's much more enjoyable. Even more fast paced if that's even possible. Lol. It's pace is like bullet hell for FPS. Lol Also, on PC is it just me or do no other gametypes besides Attrition work?

I just get the sense of "CoD" from it, killstreaks and the menus even look similar. But I suppose that's the new standard for AAA FPS games.

Why can't Xbox One even handle the Intro FMVs without ridiculous screen tearing?

Also regarding framerate, it's an inconsistent mess. When things heat up it stutters like crazy. I don't see how something that serious will be optimized between now and launch time.

Game sure is fun though.

Yeah, it's surprisingly unstable.

Clearly they left v-sync disabled in the menus for some reason.

The game itself constantly drops and tears frames during just about any combat scenario. Only in the most quiet areas of the map does it hold 60 fps. It never stays solid during gameplay.
 
I wouldn't worry too much about getting in - I've played both the PC and Xbone versions and I'm not overly impressed. Whoever says this game looks good, on either platform needs to have their eyes checked. This is a modified source engine, they can only do so much and it tells. This really look like it would suit last gen, and that's the kicker, it can't even get 1080p on xbone. The xbone version looks terrible.

Mechanics are tight, and the game is pretty fun - but this is CoD with mechs, it really is. Which wouldn't be terrible, if they actually did more things differently. They really haven't gone out on a limb with this game and that's the most disappointing thing. They had such a big opportunity to make something REALLY fresh and innovating, but no. I won't even talk about the server issues.

Anyway, I guess I get to save some money.
 
I spent a short hour on the beta yesterday evening, and had a lot of fun. The first time I punched a pilot to death with my titan was exhilarating. Especially since it was followed by a 1 on 1 brawl with another titan. :D
I think I'm having more fun being a pilot running after other titans, though, even if I get slaughtered most of the time. I wonder how you can ride other titans, either allies or foes, can I just jump on them ?

I'm still getting confused when things get hectic when inside a titan, though, I'm never sure when I must dash/eject/whatever when the screen gets full of interferences.

Yeah, the particles everywhere is nice, but the textures are surprisingly very very low resolution.

This is the one thing I haven't had a single complaint about, and haven't heard a single complaint about. (Mind you I'm talking about the PC version)
 
Game is good but its clearly over hyped.. The first 5 hours lt was fun after that i already felt like i mastered everything and was dropping 20 plus kills every match

Well it's only the beginning of the beta, you already had a 5 hours+ experience with the game against many people who (like me) were just discovering it. With time, there will probably be more skilled people to challenge you.
 
I got a PC key from here last night but when I try to install it says there's an error opening the audio installer, re-downloaded, ran as administrator and it still says it. Tried installing on my laptop and it worked but it's not good enough to play on really. Anyone know how to fix this? Copying the directory over from the laptop doesn't work either, Origin won't recognise it.
 
I had very little time this morniong when I woke up to my beta key before work.

Jumping/parkour is easy but works and I believe elevates the gameplay greatly.

Smart pistol is nice.
 
I suck at FPS, and it doesn't help that I'm facing kbm players with a controller, but it's been very satisying rodeo killing a bunch titans. People will wise up and then I'll need to skill up. Xd
 
The netcode is SO good, wow! Playing from Austria on EU West gave me ping 45 but you can really feel that the bullets hit immediately compared to BF4. I would put the hit detection / netcode to glorious 1.6 levels.

Edit: Setting the texture resolution to insane gave me unstable frames with i5 @ 4.2 Ghz and a Radeon 6950.

You can't please everyone I suppose.

Only thing I can agree with in this post are the servers. I'm from Australia and while it hasn't been unplayable, I don't think I can justify spending $80 for a multiplayer game with those issues. Game is fun as hell though.
 
Even though I requested a PC code I think I've ended up with 2 xbox one codes instead. Is it possible they're universal? Anyone want to swap if not?

Actually they just sent me the one code twice, hours apart.
 
saw an ogre titan earlier.
i dont really see the point of it, but maybe the pilot was just that bad..
i killed it in maybe 15 seconds with the atlas.
thats quicker than i usually kill other atlas titans.

i assumed they could take a decent beating, but i guess thats tied to actually maneuvering around as well, i guess the dude thought he could just smash through everyone and take hits.

Wow that's good to hear about the netcode. It is certainly a ball breaking thing in BF4 and my number one complaint as of now.

EDIT : mail from Xbox in the mailbox and it's... fucking nothing about the return of Van Nilstelrooy.

I have found the Titans more of a hindrance to pilot. You are better off leaving it in Auto Pilot and infing the whole time. The result is this
NO LOCK ON PISTOL.

Ugh those pings.
EA should really do a open beta weekend on PC. Would really want to like the game, but the cloud solution for PC servers will/is killing the game in regions with no Datacenter.

Atleast with the a beta I can judge if the latency factor is really an issue.

This is exactly what I wanted to hear, shitty netcode was my biggest gripe with most if not all recent online FPS games I've played, Black Ops 2 being a major offender here.

the pings in my games are VERY low, like mid to high 30s for most players.
however im on xbox, so im unsure of how that works out... also selected the east coast server option.

i really cant say what will happen for areas that unfortunately dont have a datacenter nearby, but i can say there most likely wont be one nearby anytime soon if there isnt already.

It should be low for most people close/ closer to the datacenter than someone in a region that doesn't have one =)

I get about a 200ms latency just pinging the closest Azure server. So actual latency should be between 200-300 ... which is worrying to say the least. But if the netcode is decent enough it could hide it.
 
Speaking of ping, I assume Microsoft's datacenter in Brazil will be used for this game whenever it's ready. I hope it doesn't take too long.
 
I'm playing from Australia on PC, near Brisbane east coast on South-East Asia server and averaging pings between 160-210. Haven't found it any drama, only once have i been killed after running around a corner and it was pretty close anyway.

Can't say its bothered me much, still top 3 almost every game. Don't be put off Aussie bro's.

Having a hard time finding a game on PC this morning.

No doubt, going by the other thread, most of the PC codes sent out are actually Xbone codes. I know they don't owe me shit etc but come on, fix this shit and start sending out masses of PC codes already
 
Ping is great for me. Low 20's and 30's. Controls are smooth and snappy on XB1.

Enjoying the game a lot which to be honest I didn't think I would like it since these past years I've really gone off competitive online shooters. Have felt a bit of screen tearing and frame drops but hey it's a beta would can you expect. I hope the final game looks better though in terms of textures and possibly some better AA. It looks very much like a X360 title. Even the hud and menus seem low res.

I like the gameplay and it's just fun regardless of winning or losing. Feels awesome calling in a Titan then wrecking people with it.

One scenario I went to fight with 3 Titans and luckily destroyed one but had to eject since the other two were coming in hard. For me though I won since i set the nuke blast on my Titan so when it blew it took out the other two Titans. :D

Still can't find a way to land on a Titan and do damage as was shown in the debut gameplay from E3. Maybe it's an unlock item through a class.

The grunts are really bad and lol I'm sure I saw one tebagging a real person after they assassinated them.
 
So does the xbone version have in game chat? I only played 5 games last night but didn't hear a single peep from the lobby. Game is buttery smooth I have a 34ms ping to the data center everything seems to run great last night no lag at all.
 
Game is legit. Playing in Australia on east Asia servers and just having a great time.
Really didn't expect to but it's bloody brilliant. I believe in Titanfall.

I only get some random sounds from a single player when in the lobby, never during gameplay.

I like to think of bots as an anti camping mechanic

Be aggressive or lose
Click to expand...

you can sure as shit camp in this game.
or at the very least aggressively control a tiny 4 wall room/corner roof.

happened every single game i played last night.
the parkour emphasizes the use of roofs and someone sure showed the lobby i was playing in last night just how much so.
 
I cant play right now because theres a few people in each game type but not enough to start a game.

I wish there was a system where we could all connect to one server. God imagine if games had such a thing (and it came out decades ago).
 
Played the PC version in a friends.

Its really fun just to run around as a dude and wall run and stuff. They nailed that. Hope I get a code so I can try it on my shitty PC
