Stupid question about the PC version to anyone who knows.

I don't have much experience playing online on PC, so for a game like TitanFall that is Origin based:

1) how secure is it playing online? Is it same as if playing on a console in terms of security?

Should be fine

2) Is it EA/Respawn servers we'll be playing on and not custom servers?

Microsoft servers I believe. Whatever they are they are not player hosted.

3) Are there any security risks like hackings, etc. who can steal my personal info for example?

Always is with anything on the internet

4) will I run into more players who are cheating?

Probably

Thanks.

Good scores or bad scores, there will be meltdowns.

Just got a Chroma alpha invite, so I guess that's what I'll be playing until Titanfall.

Thanks.

If it's MS servers than that's good, right?

Ryan (IGN) said the new time is 9 AM PT (Noon ET)

https://twitter.com/DMC_Ryan/status/442011088331108352

"THIS UPDATE IS RELEVANT TO YOUR INTERESTS: The Titanfall review embargo now lifts at 9am PT on Monday. So be sure to stop by @IGN. "

I wonder if this means they are confident the game will review very well.

 

[vazel]

I'm happy GMG sent out the keys this early. They previously said on the forum that we were only getting the keys on release day.

Also, so I need a live subscription to play on PC?

I'm guessing I do, right?

No. Live is just for XBOX ONE/XBOX 360

 

[Glass Shark]

Nope, Origin is completely separate from Xbox Live. You don't need any kind of membership to play online on PC. /masterrace

 

[CreepingFear]

What? No. PC doesn't require live or even require you to use Games for Windows Live. Multiplayer is free, with the exception of the actual game or season pass for the added DLC that will be released.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Awesome! I thought since it's on MS servers I thought it'd require a fee.

Cool!

They tried that when live first came to PC and were basically laughed out of the room.

pre-order canceled

 

[neoexidous]

Can't wait, they need to release games on fucking Friday!! My 1080p projector/PC (w/DS4) is ready.

 

[-tetsuo-]

Since I have upgraded my video card since beta I should be able to run this maxed out@ 3k. Aww yissss


edit: Shit i wish I was at my home PC. I remember when I was playing@ 5760x1080 I got excited when I saw that they modeled the rest of the titan around you on the extra screens lol. I should tweet Vince so they can add proper surround support though....

Is there LAN support? Anyway to make it work in a LAN environment without net access?

Not at launch, and likely never.

 

[HelloMeow]

Heh

Oh my. Those... Are amazing.

Here's the full intro. Again, don't watch it if you want to keep it a surprise.

that's extraordinarily disheartening. What about if I resorted to unconventional methods? Do you think hackers will get something like that working for this game?

 

[Riptwo]

In honor of the impending release date, I'm gonna throw Metal Warriors for SNES on over the weekend and play mech vs. pilot multiplayer like I used to. Tiny people vs mechs will always be great.

Maybe? Probably not? I find it exceedingly unlikely.

 

[Ducayne]

Sooooo anyone else wanna chimein on ramifications of accessing the game early via exe modding? Cuz I'm super tempted.

Ban your account. Lock game access away. Kill you.

Two Respawn employees chimed in earlier and strongly suggested against it, but I've noticed the method seems to be gaining some traction in the other parts of the internet.... so I'm still tempted.

I really liked that. It was well done.

Looks like those with early legit copies are free to stream on Twitch - https://twitter.com/TwitchTVSupport/status/442052868917301248

Man I hope I can get this tomorrow (and that the servers are up), trying to be internet famous son!

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Damn it all, I am having a spaz attack over the fact that the game's already been unlocked and I have yet to even start up the preload with my slowass internet.

Guess I'm leaving my computer on tonight. At the very least, I'll be able to find out if anyone's been banned by the time the download finishes hehe.

tried it out, no one was online as expected, switched EXEs, wait until march 11th

Is it really worth gambling an Origin account on? Worst case scenario is you lose all your games. No wait, worst case scenario is you lose all your games and they gift you Medal of Honor 2010.

This was great.

Best line was when when greg asked the, how they did it and if they can tell others how to make an innovative game and he said "its just what we do, its what we do"

That's great news. Glad to see at least one dev/publisher seeing the light.

I've been waiting with another person for a while on US East Campaign, hopefully it gains more traction and bans aren't handed out. :c

Pump the breaks, Vince just replied lol - https://twitter.com/VinceZampella/status/442057843940667392

- @TwitchTVSupport @Titanfallgame @Respawn Respawn is NOT ok with streaming the game yet.

If the xbox one was selling a lot more I would expect this to be a real store sold bundle, but alas we are stuck with just buying the controller for £65 and looking at pictures of what could have been.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

We need to someone to take screens of the training area to confirm resolution for XB1.

 

[Somnium986]

Didn't think I'd be getting this, but my laptop should be able to handle it. Ready for Titanfall.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Preloaded, now begins the arbitrary wait till Tuesday. :|

 

[Fletcher]

man. I wish it were today as I have absolutely nothing going on tonight. Just a few more days, but still.

"Thanks for being understanding about no streaming till launch. We won't ban accounts for playing though."

Just to confirm the generations do look like the same as the ones in the OT.

Thanks Lunaniem for testing for me.

 

[Barzul]

Titanfall will be in 90's on metacritic.

 

[CreepingFear]

Play with ourselves, but don't show it to anyone else.
