Took me half an hour, what is your point? It is obviously going to take longer on slower connections.

No no no, I worry about the content not if people will continue playing. That is just curiosity.

Seems like it. Horrible decision by Respawn imo. I wanted to get the achievement for winning every level in the campaign with each side. But there's no way that I'm going to replay the campaign a dozen times just to get the right level and right side.
I changed my connection from wireless to wired and things sped up
any of them, you have to complete one campaign to get the strider.

Wi-Fi is garbage for gaming, just leave your console wired if possible.
Unlocked the Stryder earlier for completing campaign. I see this being my favorite titan even with it having less armor.
Also the intro to Demeter on the IMC side was pretty cool. I still have to play as Militia.
Ragdoll Titan? Do want.
Yeah it was done BC I have 3 systems and a PC in room so was just using wire for PC but now I know to switch it
I just assumed things had gotten better

If you're on a map/side you need to win and you don't feel like your team is going to, couldn't you just drop the match? I'm assuming the game wouldn't give you credit for that match and then you'd have to replay it upon your next continue.
It is indeed a clunky system though.
Just complete both missions so you unlock mission select. At least on PC you can do that.
That probably works. I don't know if you can select which side though.

Mouse 4 and 5 are melee and grenade, which is a standard for me. Mouse wheel up for primary weapon and mouse wheel down for secondary - I've been using that since CS.
Then I typically use my DPI buttons for maps or inventory stuff. Not really needing them yet in Titanfall though.
Right now my problem is that I have Q-spot so ingrained into my head from Battlefield that I'm often triggering my tactical power trying to spot guys. =/

Working my way through the other side of the campaign now. Was hoping for that, thanks. Keep getting the first mission with the IMC >.>
Still it remains strange to disabled mission select until you've completed the campaign with both sides.
In the mission select does it show you which mission you've won? Or do I need to write that down myself?
Melee sounds good, I'm always fumbling the key for that. Will put grenade on mouse5 as it's a little harder to reach and I don't seem to use them that much (or at least I didn't in the beta). Do you have anything bound to the mousewheel 'click'?
It's launch day. Give them time to get the darn game out, lol.
On PC it doesn't show whether you won or lost, I'll assume that's because there aren't any achievements on it. When you select campaign, it doesn't have an option to resume where you left off?
This is a product of the genre being over saturated by COD and BF. There are only so many modes that work and people always want something new. I guess titans and parkour is not enough, even on launch day. I roll my eyes at these comments.

You would think that that a game that launched as MP only would have more of a variety with their MP modes at launch.
Yeah, if you're not into getting mowed down by patient campers or people who don't run all the time.

Did the repair utility fix it?

It does have the option "resume campaign" tried that multiple times, and multiple times it dropped me into a lobby for the first mission. Don't know why.
Edit: Speak of the devil. Finally got a mission other than one that I already played with the IMC.

Those playing on Xbox one... what control scheme are you using? Default, Bumper Jumper etc. Figuring i'll need to re-learn good old halo bumper jumper as this requires so much jumping.
Also: What effect do the impulse triggers have in game? Did Respawn end up using them? I never found a solid answer.

I use Button Kicker.
Very hard to follow imo because there is just too much stuff going on. Honestly this game could do without the campaign it just seems like an inconvenience to unlock two titans. The story is told through the hud windows but for me I can barely focus on any of it and if they are saying something you lose that when you die.

Restarted my PC and performance is back to normal. So, clearly some stuff needs to get fixed.
I think it's a rather fair criticism. The game holds so much potential that the handful of modes is a genuine letdown. There's A LOT they could do with the formula but it definitely feels more safe. I'm having a great time with the game but I can definitely see the number of modes being a problem within the near future of consistent play. I personally wish there were more weapons/ordinances/perks as well.
Let's not get crazy. The game is not untouchable and any critique should be reasonably considered rather than rejected. There's a whole ton of fun to be had with the game. It does so many things right. But it is not without fault either.
I personally think the hype behind the game built up way too much expectation. This is a refinement of the genre, not a revolution.

So how is X1 version?
EA don't care. Just VPN to US to activate.

I hate that we live in a world now where we first expect them to ship a complete product, and then wait months for them to turn it into a truly compelling one.
The game's great, im sure. Beta was awesome. Just sounds like it needs more modes, is all. It's the kind of thing that can be patched in, but you'd think they'd have that kind of foresight considering they choose to go online multiplayer only. If you're going that route, you better pack the game with insane amounts of content.
If it was objective based, yes, there would be a future for this type of campaign.
Heard about this... they really should treat this as a bug and fix it.
It's not bad. It runs around PC High settings by looks of it, sans Vsync (there's tearing). FPS is usually 60, however it drops to in the high 40s with lots of Titans of screen. If you broadcast with Twitch you take a fps hit.

I played the beta using mouse and keyboard but saw lots of people saying controller was viable on PC. Is this still true? is it better for the wall climbing or something?
I got lucky and jumped in my first game in IMC campaign with a good team. We played all the way through winning every match. It looks like I have mission select now, but I haven't tried it to see if it lets me pick a side.

Still true, is a bit easier than mashing space bar to jump on walls.
I played with controller yesterday and didn't notice any diff from beta, feels good.

Bumper jumping pilot is the way I think the most hardcore will play. It just gives you more freedom to aim while using the wall running to your advantage.
I don't see any way you'll be competitive in the long run using a controller. Early on, sure, because everyone is kind of a noob, but once people get good, that mouse aiming and speed are gonna be hard to match on a controller.
Thank you! Now I'm gonna search that .exe and try to play the game today instead of waiting.
They aren't meant to be a threat, they are meant to provide you with an easier way to get points and to rack up kills. They will shoot at you and your titan and kill other AI, but they are canon fodder more than anything.
