My Origin ID is Typomancer, looking for friends to play this with.

The Arc Cannon is probably the most fun Titan weapon I’ve tried yet.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Regarding those nvidia drivers, if you notice some kind of improvement it may be anecdotal since it really does nothing for performance as far as I read. No SLI profile either. Some are reporting more issues with other games as well.

 

[Jito]

I don't get it. Is this supposed to be a joke?

No it's a serious representation of a birds reaction to Titanfall obviously.

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

So if I have a 670, i7 3770, 8 gb of Ram I should probably go for PC over One. Would it run at 1080/60?

Trust me, it definitely is not. I played the beta with the controller hoping I could comfy-couch the game. After playing about 6 hours using the controller, you can really tell that M/KB people will absolutely destroy you with their ability to scan an area and pinpoint your exact position twice as fast as you could ever hope to with the controller. I switched to KB/M and was doing exceptionally better immediately.

It really bummed me out. I really wish they had different servers for controller users on PC.

Maybe you just aren't good at video games?

This is how flying creatures react to breadcrumbs.
Every time.

 

[EvB]

You can see the players who are using K&M, they bounce around like crazy and can turn a titan on you instantly with pinpoint accuracy.

 

[SlasherJPC]

I was going to go to midnight release because the thirst I have is unreal. But we have a baby dr appt tommorrow at 9am and gamestop is about a mile down the road. I can get a solid two weeks in before its baby time. Im going to make the most of it haha

LOL my baby is due in about 3 weeks. I know the feeling Congrats!

Birds love them some Titanfall.

Not really a joke, just a fun img

 

[Glass Shark]

I'm not sure how you'd do the acrobatics with a controller, you need to be able to switch directions in a split second and without a preset system to handle camera work an analog stick would just be too slow.

I dunno, to each his own I guess. I played about equal time with KBM and controller during the beta and they were both about the same for me. However, I have many many more hours in with a controller in games like this since I was a console player for so long.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

These were apparently only 3d vision profiles?

It's possible they just didn't have anything in the release notes.

For the people with Nvidia cards who played the game on the previous driver, does this new driver help at all?

Bleh, I have to wait a whole day since my copy is coming with my CE. Should have kept my digital pre-order and sold the one that comes with the CE to a friend. I want to play Titanfall right meow!

Says who, just a few posts back

Again, nothing regarding improvements to Titanfall. Beware. If the current WHQL is fine, don't fix what ain't broken.

Time will tell if I will need to switch over but for now with a couple hours on it, I am doing perfectly fine with a controller. I have a 1.7 using a controller. If I notice that I am getting destroyed, I'll switch back.

I'm not sure how you'd do the acrobatics with a controller, you need to be able to switch directions in a split second and without a preset system to handle camera work an analog stick would just be too slow.

It works pretty similarly to M/KB.

 

[Woo-Fu]

On the other hand, I'm sure there will be plenty of people who play Attrition just for the kills who ignore the capture points.

There aren't any capture points in Attrition. People who play that mode just for kills are playing it properly.

In Hardpoint you'll get lots of kills just PTFO. They capture points bring in the players so there are always people to kill. Save those burncards that let you go back to where you died for this mode. Can save you a long trip across the map.

Guess I'll have to monkey around with both options this week.

 

[Shake Appeal]

This game tires me out like nothing else. I find myself playing it in bursts of three games, then having to take a break.

Just doing campaign so far, but I like all the maps I've played on except the one with the

My daughter is 4 now, but what I found suffers the most is sleep. It's gone down of course, but I'm still able to consistently game in the evening hours.

You'll be fine. Especially for a game as 'quick' as Titanfall. Get a couple rounds in and then get out. MMO's and MOBA's are out of the question though.

 

[Shady859]

Just to reiterate whats been said, if you're running an NVIDIA GPU you really should try out the drivers they just released.

http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/73780

Thanks went ahead and got my stuff all updated and ready. This is my 1st ever multiplatform release where i've went PC, my 660 is ready.
Not going to bother fooling with workarounds though since I working tonight ah well maybe a few minutes tomorrow and then it's on hot and heavy wednesday!


As for the controller versus KB/M talk: I held my own with a 360 controller and was steadily top 3 at least 50%+ of all my games in the beta. Origin shows 14 hours played.

 

[Principate]

Motherfucking yes key has arrived standby for Titanfall!

 

[Milennia]

A lot less reviewers actually mentioned the lack of a single player and penalized the game for it than i expected.
Im happy.

 

[legacyzero]

Totally not playing Titanfall right now.

[Intheflorsh]

Just as I predicted no one else is playing in my region. VPN unlocking the game was a waste of time.

 

[Woo-Fu]

Just got my g2a.com key!

 

[FlyinJ]

Maybe you just aren't good at video games?

Well that was a constructive addition to the conversation

 

[Proven]

Okay, this guy is already on Gen 3, pretty good, and playing both with and against some decent (although not supremely great) players. http://www.twitch.tv/sombrero19

 

[Principate]

Which region is that? Also Origin just started to allow preloading for some, give it time man....

 

[Bunta]

Pre-loading on Origin now, about halfway done.

 

[demonkaze]

So i'm in the UK and was considering getting the digital US version for the Xbox One tomorrow rather waiting for friday (the same thing i did with PvZ). If i do this, will I be able to play the game fine or is it region locked?

 

[FlyinJ]

You can see the players who are using K&M, they bounce around like crazy and can turn a titan on you instantly with pinpoint accuracy.

Yeah, the Titan agility is most apparent when seeing KB/M in action. It almost feels like they slow down look sensitivity on the controller when you're in a Titan.

 

[Falifax]

What VPN client are you guys using? FlyVPN just straight out crashes Origin.

 

[Principate]

Last call trying to start up a gaf Last Titan standing team (since I love that mode) if your interested ad me on Origin

No region lock.

you sly devil, i'll check it out.

 

[legacyzero]

you sly devil, i'll watch for a bit : )

Technical difficulty

 

[Proven]

lmao, the guy I linked before actually went and bought the domain "www.titanfall.gg" for his twitch stream.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Okay, this guy is already on Gen 3, pretty good, and playing both with and against some decent (although not supremely great) players. http://www.twitch.tv/sombrero19

Wow, he already prestiged 3 times. I thought seeing a Gen 2 on a stream was an eye opener.

 

[demonkaze]

No region lock.

That's good to hear, are the servers worldwide or can be selected or will I be forced to always play on the US servers?

 

[CouchMaster]

Finished one side of campaign and unlocked Stryder, took about 2.5 hours in single sitting.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Finished one side of campaign and unlocked Stryder, took about 2.5 hours in single sitting.

So the campaign has unlocks for the multiplayer?

[CouchMaster]

Yeah you have to finish one side to unlock Stryder and both sides to unlock Ogre in custom loadouts. Although its not really a campaign, you're still playing same TDM and Hardpoint games, just with briefings and cutscenes inserted.

 

[FatalT]

So the campaign has unlocks for the multiplayer?

The campaign is the multiplayer.

 

[Shake Appeal]

So the campaign has unlocks for the multiplayer?

Completing it with one or both sides unlocks the Stryder and Ogre respectively.

But it really is just multiplayer with some voiceover.

 

[Milennia]

So the campaign has unlocks for the multiplayer?

Yes, the other 2 titans.

Came across this via Reddit (via dorkly):

Was just about to ask about SLI. Ah feels good to be back in the camp where profiles are needed and not delivered.

 

[ACE 1991]

Weird question: I'm preloading the game on my laptop as I get faster download speeds here than I do at home, I shouldn't run into any issues transferring the files into my origin folder on my desktop once I get home and want to play, correct?

 

[rakkadakka]

As for the controller versus KB/M talk: I held my own with a 360 controller and was steadily top 3 at least 50%+ of all my games in the beta. Origin shows 14 hours played.

Controller feels awesome,

I switched in the Beta and don't plan on going back. There are some very tight situations where KB/M might win but I hardly feel like I'm handicapped using the controller. It was pretty surprising as well, didn't feel like my K/D was affected at all.

Now if they would just release the drivers for the Xbone controller on PC.
