TitanFall

[ProjectPat2280]

"Your Amazon.co.uk order of "Titanfall (Xbox One)" has been dispatched"

Should get my hands on this on Friday but will have hardly any time to play till Saturday night. Oh well at least that should give it plenty of time to finish installing. How long was the install btw?

It didnt take that long. I wanna say no more than 20 min. Not sure when the game lets you start playing tho, i was out of the room as mine installed.

my average is like 30-40 on attrition lol.

Haha, yea sometimes guys on your team get kills so fast you don't have much time to do anything, or ya just have bad games. Both happened to me yesterday afternoon. I played for like 2 hours and in those 2 hours i was on a good team and i just couldnt get over a 55 Attrition score. Partly because the guys above be were doing work and because i was just in a fog or something. My last 3 rounds i went 70 plus and decided to end it there haha.

Gotta love the Stryder

You know I was thinking that would be cool if there was some "cross-play" with 360/X1 users of this game. Like Portal 2 did with PC/PS3.

Yeah I'm going to wait and see what the 360 version looks like. I am sure the graphics will be reduced a bit but assuming the gameplay is still solid I'll pick it up for that.

My PC is in need of an overhaul and I'm not getting a One at the moment so that makes the most sense right now.

I've seen a few comparison videos & screenshots of Xbox One compared to PC & the graphical difference is really quite ridiculous when you think that this is Xbox's latest console & supposedly next gen. I mean the Xbox One was $500 on launch wasn't it?

For the majority of people their current home PC assuming it's been bought inside the last 2-3 years would probably only require a graphics card upgrade & maybe a few sticks of RAM to be able to run Titanfall on their PC on max settings.

It doesn't look bad by any means on Xbox One, but for $500 & a brand new latest console I'd expect it to be a little more on par with a $500 PC.. which I don't think it would be.

To be fair... Respawn put it out at a lower resolution and lower FPS on the XB1 to meet the deadline. They've already promised a 1080p/60FPS patch coming very soon.

I will say the thread about the resolution on Neogaf wanted me to punch those guys (kids). Anyone that has time to stop and look at the grass in this game is doing it wrong.

That's what we get for raising a bunch of brats that nitpick.

I'm not sure Respawn can even do that. It doesn't bother me too much tho, I think the game looks fine(it certainly doesn't look bad) and it's fun as hell.

 

[X Knight]

so this game is entirely MP......no SP??

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Correct. No SP whatsoever save for a little tutorial mission.

I dunno if they can or can't. It's just what they tweeted.

Ah, i didnt even know they said that. Will be interesting to see if they follow through.

I do wonder what some of the "free updates" will actually be tho, aside from the private lobbies.

Edit:

Heres one of those updates

Also on Twitter, Zampella noted that custom loadout names are incoming, allowing players to rename their loadouts for better organization. “Yes, we’ll add it,” he said.

thanks.

Yup.

Respawn recently rubbished rumours that Titanfall would be running at 1080p on Xbox One, instead launching the game at 792p.

However, Respawn has now said that it is looking at the possibility of patching Titanfall in order to raise the game's resolution on Xbox One.

"We're going to experiment. The target is either 1080p non-anti-aliased or 900p with FXAA. We're trying to optimise," Respawn's lead engineer Richard Baker told Eurogamer.

"We don't want to give up anything for higher res. So far we're not 100 per cent happy with any of the options, we're still working on it."

"For day one it's not going to change. We're still looking at it for post-day one. We're likely to increase resolution after we ship," Baker continued.

They also said that the season pass won't just include maps. So.. I'm fairly interested in what the SP will offer as a whole. Maps, obviously... but I wonder if we'll also get customization stuff?

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Yea as soon as they announce some of the stuff ill prob go ahead and snag that season pass. I'm gonna get whatever DLC they put out any way. Customization options would be really cool tho.

New Attrition high score: 88

11 pilot kills and like 37 minion kills haha

If you're smart and chose the right parts. Niether system comes close to a $500 pc

Haha nice dude.

I played some of the other game modes tonight(pilot hunter/last Titan) and those are some seriously fun game modes. Love the hell outta this game.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I see how some are already asking Respawn to nerf some weapons. Jeezus, the game has been out less than a week and people are already whining over weapon damage.

 

[Benstamania]

IMHO these weapons are some of the best, most balanced weapons in any shooter yet. Screw the crybabies, tell them to get better.

Alas I fear Respawn will listen to them because that's what devs always do (well.. Minus the World of Tanks guys who seriously tell the complainers to play another game if they're not happy.)

Yep, I fear the same thing. There is always this quick knee jerk reaction to the whiners on the net. I agree though, iv never felt any weapon was OP. A buddy and I were talking about our loadouts last night and claiming which one was the best and for every loadout we talked about, we were able to mention the positives and negatives and why each one of us were using the load out we were. There was basically no wrong answer. I swear this is the most balanced MP game iv ever played. Im not saying they shouldn't tweak things at all, but IMO, there isn't much tweaking needed right now.

 

[Benstamania]

I normally dread over powered shotguns.. and while the one in this game is powerful you have to be ON TOP of someone, even with Leadwall on for it to be really effective. You're not gonna hit a guy across the map with one (Looking at you Call of Duty MW2...)

 

[Iceman]

I'd like cross-play with pretty much every game.

I thought you said were bad at these kinds of games, ya liar!

Oh cool.

Yeah, and how come the playability Vs graphics debate which has eternally been in favour of playability suddenly reverses itself for X1?

Haha, exacly what I would say if I was a dev. In fact I'd probably ban them on the spot for even suggesting it. t: What do they do when they play sports? Write to the official body asking for rule changes to favour their style of play?

Yea Iv been killed a few times by the shotgun, but it was always a close ranged kill, so from my experience, being on the receiving end of a shotgun blast, I find it to be a well balanced weapon.

The dude i saw complaining was going on about how he didnt like to be killed while running across a map by a suppressed R101C Carbine and said he hoped Respawn nerfed it soon.

Im thinking what the hell does he think that weapon is for? Its an assault rifle. Why shouldn't I be allowed to hit you as you are sprinting across the map if my aim is good enough.

Also, im sure if the enemy in this clip was the same dude, he'd want the B3 Wingman nerfed too:

B3 Wingman Pwnage

 

[Benstamania]

Yeah, the World of Tanks guys are seriously awesome. I was on their forums for a bit giving the feed back and everytime people started the "nerf this/nerf that" complaints the devs straight up told them "Well.. Maybe you just need to get better at the game. We actively look into fixing bugs and glitches our game has but if you are having problems due to things being "over powered" you're just not as good as other players. Please play something else."
