Not that I don't like it, but don't you think EA will do something about it?

Spoiler

i.e. ban people

I doubt they will go through the trouble.

The game will get docked points. There is no single player so the game has inherently less value than most shooters nowadays. The devs could have stepped up and put in the time to make this a complete game and the review scores will reflect that.

 

[Principate]

Granted a lot of that was minimized while I was helping people get in the beta. Didn't actually play until Saturday.

Would anybody from Respawn here like to comment? I really really want to play this.

 

[iavi]

So I was messing around with a couple of pre-load and beta files and I just got this to happen.

Explanation pls.

e; just saw that you're writing it up. Awesome.

 

[jediyoshi]

Om nom nom

If only dst could move time up a couple extra hours this year

Nope. On the Xbox One version, some dude was actually in lobbies with Respawn folks. They know the game is out there already.

These files were taken from the beta but are modified so they let you run the full version.

Backup your original Titanfall .exe and .par files to a seperate folder and drop these ones into the Titanfall directory. You should be able to run the .exe and activate it using your Origin account.

As long as you have Origin running in the background, the servers seem to work.

 

[The Librarian]

I'm going into cryostasis. Someone thaw me out on Monday.

At least you only have to wait until next Tuesday.

I'm on 19 hours, surprised I got that much play time out of it. I thought it was around 8 or something.

Servers are up, however I would be careful modifying files and playing since they could consider that an illegitimate copy of the game and ban your account.

On Xbox One there are still only a handful of people on.

Really want official word on this. If I don't get banned I am going to play all night.

So tempting but so risky.

Using a VPN to unlock a game is one thing, but modifying files... I don't know.

 

[Nyteshade517]

If people have legit (non-pirated) copies of the game they will not get banned.They just said that those people will have to put up with possible server problems while they are still getting everything up and running.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Anyone from the UK, got their keys from GMG yet?

 

[CreepingFear]

I'm going to wait and see for some of you to try that hack out yourselves before attempting that.

Modifying files might trigger whatever anticheat system they have in place.

Is there official word for a modified file though?

 

[Archpath1]

If reviewers take off points for not having a singleplayer they should take off points for games that don't have multiplayer. Times a changin! Games like Bioshock don't need multiplayer and games like Titanfall don't need singleplayer.

I would agree, they need to be more open minded on reviewing and what the developer set out to accomplish.
Not a SP with tacked on MP, or a MP driven game with a lackluster SP ,but a different kind of mp game
Either way fun is always important and comes first to me

Things just got so real.

Modified exes are the epitome of sketch, however. I'm not going to use this.

No idea on that. I was just saying what Vince said on Twitter last night.

Modified files may be on their list of things they won't allow so I wouldn't try it to be honest

If a reviewer docks points I would wholeheartedly disagree with them for doing so.

I paid $60 for God of War 3 when it came out and thoroughly enjoyed the 8-10 hours I put into it. I would give the game about an 8.5. There's no MP but I don't care. I believe you have to look at every game within the context of what it's trying to accomplish. You don't dock FTL for not having the visuals of Crysis; great visuals is not what the game set out to achieve.

So uh.. any stories of EA banning people for something like this from Origin? Because if not I'm about to get my Titanfall on.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Somebody tweet Respawn or Zampella

 

[Calen]

I very strongly recommend that you guys don't use modified files or exes.

 

[pharmboy044]

There's no way Titanfall falls below a 90 metacritic, with the majority of press already salivating over the game. It ain't happenin'

Yup, I would be surprised if it was lower than a 94.

 

[Lunaniem]

People have used modified files like these to run BF3 & BF4 without Origin and haven't had any problems but I don't know about running a game before release as I've never been able to get this to work before. :c

 

[Nyteshade517]

Well...there you go (I'd suggest that those instructions get scrubbed off of here)

[Lulubop]

Keep it to yourself.

 

[dengatron]

any word on whether or not we can remove the bloat via audio localizations we will never use ever? i'd like to not take up a 5th of my ssd with shit i don't need.

 

[DKo5]

Don't take this as anything official, but circumventing security measures probably isn't in your best interest :\

Getting a copy early, as Vince mentioned in a tweet yesterday, is different than mucking about with files.

 

[Jarmel]

I'll try this later tonight.

 

[Principate]

Well obviously they're not going recommend it.... but seems kinda pointless, if you messed it badly I'd dislike having to redownload 20gb. That and well various breaches of terms of service probably...

Poor Europe can't do shit either way

I was being sarcastic lol

Europe and other non-US countries are really getting fucked lately between the censorship of South Park and not getting Titanfall at the same time.

 

[Mechazawa]

My fear of getting in trouble with Origin and wanting to respect Respawn is clashing with my want to play Titanfall and being a bad rebel motherfucker.

WHAT DO.

 

[antitrop]

do it

 

[-tetsuo-]

do it

Are you going to?

 

[Principate]

do it

What are you the devil in his left ear.

 

[antitrop]

Are you going to?

Only if you're going to.

 

[DrTeflon]

Only if you're going to.

Let's do it then

You heard it guys, meat is off the menu.

The NA getting getting games on Tuesday and Eu getting games Thursday, has been happening for a long time.
