Nope, I believe the fine print said it would be emailed within 10 days after shipping though, so there's plenty of time. I've never had an issue with them emailing my code.

Yup. It's not opening.

Achievements can take a while before they unlock. One unlocked 2~3 matches later for me.

Thanks! I didn't know how long or when to get worried.
I think someone said it takes a match or two to unlock.

Well umm since it's showing 49.99GB for preloading, where will it stop actually downloading? At 20-21GB? Also I hope someone finds a way to safely remove the additional languages, English is enough for me and I would like to reclaim some HDD space

Just finishing up the campaign and had my best game of Hardpoint so far. I think objective gametypes are where it's at for this game.
I love it! One fully charged hit instantly drains a titan's shields, and takes a bit of damage. Then it's easy picking from there unless you're getting ganked.

It's top on the winning team as far as I know. I topped almost every match last night but we only won like 8 times so I only have MVP II, which is for being MVP 5 times.

Ya, I can definitely understand the concern, I was that way when I first started going through them too. I've been getting quite a decent amount of games from them with these deals, I remember for AC3 they offered 1600MSP ($20).
But ya, if you don't see something by this time next week I'd get a hold of support and I'm sure they can either resend the email if it never got to you, or just give you the code outright.

I dunno...
People don't know how to play objective matches. All morning during campaign, people on my team are piling up the kills, but we still lost because they wouldn't go for the objectives. It's dumb.
EDIT: And by the way, I think you were in a couple of my matches yesterday. YA JERK!
Yeah this sucks. Even the announcer will tell you "Hey this aint about the kills, we need those hardpoints." Yet I see my teammates camping on top of buildings or duking it out in one on one Titan battles on the other side of the map.... :/

Give it time, I gather a lot of people don't even know the name of the game modes, which is especially a problem during campaign since you don't even know the game mode until the mission starts.
Also just the sheer amount of mobility and the titans drops are probably extremely distracting to a lot of new players. Especially since a lot of people don't seem to know about / make use of the auto titan.
I haven't tried it since the beta but I'm not really a huge fan of that mode.
I think the Titan battles in the game are pretty fun, but I much prefer them in the context of a game mode that also features a lot of Pilot combat and movement or some sort of objective-based gameplay.
I know LTS can feature a bit of Pilot action since some get out of their Titans early or when it's about to explode, but if I wanted largely mech combat I'd just go play Hawken.
It reminds me of the old school XBL game MechAssault except the pilot is actually worth a damn in this.

That's the COD crowd...the crap happens all the time in COD. People are borderline obsessed with K/D ratio, so you always have those few people on your team who just camp and try and boost it up at the expense of your team. IMO, Win/Loss is the more important ratio, it shows how well you can do with others, and is usually a better indicator of how good you are at the game than K/D ever is.
I bet your back hurts.
I think that the people that made modern warfare at some point saw some data that let them know that people only used only these weapons and these perks and designed a game around that. Thus far for me there's nothing that I see that I'm missing from the glut of useless attachments, grenades, kill streaks and weapons. I hope this strip down mentality follows through to not only MP games but simple player games as well. Gameplay variance through the simplicity of mechanics and a focus on boosting players' ability to learn the game.

I've done lots of my objective games with at least some other person I know and am actively talking to, which helps.
And :O
Am I crazy or do Titanfall mechs control and feel better than Hawken's? :XI haven't tried it since the beta but I'm not really a huge fan of that mode.

Hawken feels more restrictive, even though you can jump and hover.
Maybe it's the turn rate cap.

I prefer playing it. I find that team work is more crucial in that mode, and I enjoy the tactical aspect of it.

I can agree to a point, but it's a matter of value compared to the competition. Without wasting time on other content, the game should have shipped with more maps, modes like coop for variety, or even SP. Simple things also that many other games have been doing for a while such as player customization, and other built in MP/social functionality just seem absent. For a high priced MP only game, one would have expected this to be one feature rich game.
Not even talking just amount of guns/unlocks really.
Yea I don't see this at all. Hawken mechs are far more nimble. On foot you have insane ability in TF, but in the mechs Hawken mechs have so much more vertical gameplay choices, where in TF you are completely grounded

Aw yiss.
Now to install it, which is looking like it'll take a friggin' while.
I like the Titanfall mechs well enough but not so much that I want to play a mode dedicated to them (I got tired of Hawken as well, haha). Maybe that'll change as I unlock more Titan stuff that wasn't in the beta, since I only started playing the retail version last night.
Like the Dash Quickcharger, maybe

That's quite objective
I'm glad I payed less than 40 bucks for it. That said, I imagine Respawn has plans for robust post-launch support so many of these features, as well as new game modes, may not be far off. I just hope the DLC doesn't simply go the map pack route but with how safe many of the design decisions feel outside of the core gameplay, I'm not holding my breath. Definitely a fun game overall; I can't wait to play with some of PC-gaf.
I love Hawken, but the ability to run away and hide and repair makes it into a big game of chicken that isn't quite as immediately satisfying as Titanfall.

I dont get why people complain about the AI bots like the grunts and spectres. They're not meant to be a threat to the player. They're more like resources around the map that give points and reduce your timer. If they were crates that you shoot to get that stuff, no one would complain. Respawn just made it more lore friendly and made it generic army guys to kill instead.
The titans control like the hards suits from black light retribution.

I just hope they plan on giving away free content like new modes and features at least.
That has already been expressed that they are doing something along those lines and anything in the season pass will be maps and similar things.
You have to download the whole 50gb, even though you're really not. Aha.Well umm since it's showing 49.99GB for preloading, where will it stop actually downloading? At 20-21GB? Also I hope someone finds a way to safely remove the additional languages, English is enough for me and I would like to reclaim some HDD space
And, I hope they do something about that, too.
Fair enough with the way Origin works, where you have to download all the languages. But I'd like to be able to delete the ones I don't need.
AFAIK, from what I've read.. if you delete the extras now Origin will just re-download the missing files, so I haven't even bothered trying to get rid of them. Grrr.
That fucking shotgun is ridiculous. People just running through my bullets spraying the thing, getting kills at silly range. Definitely going to start using it and become part of the problem.
Domination when you're the only obj player on the team is soul destroying.
Great game though.

I've done some real work as a pilot in LTS mode.

The worst is people who just double jump around hip firing the shotgun.

The auto shot gun burn card is hilarious. Between the alpha, beta, and launch, I probably have about a 10 k/d ratio with that thing. It's just absolutely ridiculous. It honestly wouldn't surprise me to see it get a nerf, even if it is a burn card and supposed to be powerful.
