That's what I figured. In the meantime, I've got some nifty vids of the maps if anyone wants to take a look:

Relic
BoneYard

Processing a few others now, should hopefully be done soon.

Nice video of BoneYard. Shows the turret and zip line action.

 

[Spookie]

Whelp.

The ending to the campaign was possibly more underwhelming than Brinks. Hell I think Brinks might have been better! Had fun though, it's difficult to work out what was going on. Since you can't focus on a story when it happens in a 100x100 pixel window and you're shooting people every half a second.

i just got a pc with a gtx 780 and i5 3570. i'm expecting to play this game at 1080p 60 maxed out. realistic? also what do you mean by insane textures taking so much space? ref to the size of the install or something else?

Don't worry. A 780 and a 3570 will easily get you 1080p and 60 Fps in this game.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Less than 24 hours to go. We can do this! Right?....

I hope.

Thanks! I really like the look of both Boneyard and Overlook. The latter gives me a futuristic Jurassic Park vibe.

Speaking of which, processing on my Overlook vid is done.

I have a 780 and a 2500k and it stutters like a motherfucker. Performance may vary but I wouldn't promise people silky smooth gameplay when most people playing at the moment are reporting some sort of issue.

 

[antitrop]

Need them Nvidia drivers.

You have any footage of the lagoon map?

 

[ChuckNyce]

You have any footage of the lagoon map?

Hmm not sure I do at the moment. What's the name of that one?

Edit: It's probably just called "Lagoon" lol. Sorry not much sleep last night. I'm planning on getting vids for all the maps but haven't hit that one yet.

Alright np. Keep up the good work I am enjoying your vids.

Insane textures take 3GB graphics card, since they did in the beta..

 

[isb]

Doesnt origin work the same way steam does? I go online with my US VPN to begin the pre-load and all is fine and dandy but as soon as i exit the VPN my download fails...
Any ideas?

 

[CouchMaster]

Does anyone know if the slickdeals offer will be available tomorrow after the review embargo lifts?

You can use VPN and buy from Russian Origin directly, its the same cost.

 

[todd360]

I didn't know that insane textures required a 3gb card. My trusty 7950 ran insane textures well. That 7950 was such a good buy. Got it before the bitcoin mining raised prices as well.

 

[Freki]

Need them Nvidia drivers.

Any idea when they are coming? Isn't it pretty standard for nvidia to release drivers for big releases?

 

[Riedinizzo]

lots of people playing attrition now on pc. match making works like a charm.

It depends. For most people it works.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Anybody plan to stream near launch that wants to be featured in the OP for the Event thread? Advertise yourself (provide a link as well) and I'll add you in.

Reposting. PM Me.

Why did I not buy it that way? I actually aid €59.99

Does anyone know the specific time when the PC version unlocks? Is it midnight 3/11 EST?

That's what the "information warning" said on the beta, on the settings screen when you selected them

I managed to run them on my 6850 in the training but was huge lag spikes when loading parts of the map..

It also timed out connecting to servers - I'm guessing the added loading of data, made the server connection think I was lagging - same with high shadows, it timed out constantly.

Turned everything to high, shadows low - and played perfectly at 60fps

Guess you are lucky

 

[Fata1moose]

I was just thinking about how expensive this war would be if they replaced your titan every two minutes, even in the future that wouldn't be possible, especially for the militia. Then I thought about how in the hell did the Rebels in Star Wars afford their war, this is all a bunch of bullshit.

No idea why I haven't thought of this before...

 

[AHA-Lambda]

for people playing early, how is the campaign and how is it set up/what is it composed of?

 

[todd360]

Well my card is 3 gb. I wouldn't call it lucky lol.

Very very very close to getting the Xbox One bundle this week.

Game just looks so good.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Same.

 

[johnFkennedy]

Any stores near Chicago selling the XB1 version early?

I wouldn't count on it. In my experience broken street dates only happen on the coasts.

 

[Ferny]

This has to have been asked/answered like once per page.

 

[pixlexic]

So I am not quite grasping the game play modes.

There is a multiplayer campaign that has a story that is separate from the all out multiplayer experience?

 

[-tetsuo-]

The game c ontinues to run like hot garbage for me.

I have a 3570k and a 780ti and it CONSTANTLY hangs/stutters/lags on me.

 

[Freki]

Nope - it's the same MP maps with the same gamemodes but with some added intor and VO during the map.

 

[Spookie]

There are only two game modes in campaign: TDM/Dom so basically it's a tour of 9 out of the 15 maps.

I'd gladly tell you if I could find a room populated enough to let me play it

Seems pretty throwaway.

 

[The Elite]

Does the game not give you approximate numbers of how many people are online? Curious to know how many people are on PC.

 

[Jules Coast]

I'm in one now with 4 people. You on PC? Add me, JulesCoast

 

[Messofanego]

for people playing early, how is the campaign and how is it set up/what is it composed of?

Impressions:

1) You sit in a lobby and get told exposition. Then briefly warp in to the map with a little more exposition. Play either Domination or TDM then fly out with a little more exposition. Basically it's a complete waste of space and time, I have no idea why they put it in.

2) They just sit there and occasionally interact with NPCs.

Campaign is just like classic except it's bookended by intro scenes (like you getting flown in to the level on a dropship overhearing orders) and a couple mission ending sequences unique to campaign. There's dialogue almost nonstop between Militia and IMC commanders. A lot of exposition.

Most maps don't have monsters, or at least of the nine maps that make up campaign. The only map that even had interactive monsters I saw was the desert one, and I was kinda disappointed because even when I shot the dragons, they didn't attack me, they just flew off.

Whelp.

The ending to the campaign was possibly more underwhelming than Brinks. Hell I think Brinks might have been better! Had fun though, it's difficult to work out what was going on.

I'm rocking a GTX 780 (EVGA ACX SC version) and a 3570K @ 4.5. The beta ran super smooth for me. The only issues I had is that I had to remove v sync in-game and do it in the Nvidia Control Panel as I was getting serious screen tearing issues. Once I changed that, it ran fine. Didn't have fraps on to tell you what my FPS was.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

It says this for me and I am in the PST timezone.

 

[Applesauce]

US Central.

I have a stock 780 and an i5-3570k @ 4.2

I ran it smoothly at 1440p w/ 2X AA everything max. At 1080p I managed 16x CSAA with the rest on max.

I had to disable vsync ingame though. No tearing was noticed.

Game is using all 3 gigs of my vram in the lobby. It just kept cl8mbing until it was maxed.

Starting to regret getting the PC version. Sounds like a bit of a mess technically. Hopefully there is a fix for some of these issues tomorrow.

 

[Ran Ran]

How do the other maps compare size wise to Angel City and Fracture?

 

[Spookie]

How do the other maps compare size wise to Angel City and Fracture?

Roughly the same size, some smaller than others. Most are very good so far, only one standing out as a bit shit.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Is there a list somewhere with Origin ID's of people here who will be playing? If so put me on that please. My Origin ID is fluffydelusions
