Sméagol Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I applied for the (PC) beta, but do you get a confirmation of this? Because I didn´t get anything in the mail, and I constantly see the button to log in to Origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) They put it straight on my account after the code mess-up. If anyone wants to try to see if either of my Xbox One codes work (I have two), let me know. Edit: Microsoft's Azure Servers are currently playing up at the moment, so most people are getting "No Servers Found". Edit: Got into the tutorial. The movement and controls are brilliant. Not too keen on the mechs. Edited February 14, 2014 by Cube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanee Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 My code came earlier in the day and I got to get a couple of games in before the servers went tits up. Glorious. Right now there isn't a thing I dislike about it. Man I was fun having my mech follow me around the map and pick fuckers off together. And god damn the free running stuff works a treat, very to get up high and chase after people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 After the critical shit show Lords of Shadow 2 turned out to be, I think this is going to be the only full price game I buy the whole first half of this year. It's been ages since I've heard universally positive things about a game from every source. Anyone going to be getting it on PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Played a few games and it's really good fun. It hasn't won me over yet, but if this had an 8+ hour singleplayer campaign, I'd be all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) My second match Edit: I'm kind of already bored of the game. The matches an different modes just feel the same, and it already seems more repetitive than Call of Duty. It's odd, I was really excited after 2 matches, but after 7...I feel like I'm done with the game. Edited February 15, 2014 by Cube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since I first saw the game this is what I've always expected... it seems like such an obvious case of "don't believe the hype". The game looks incredibly dull, to me. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Underneath, there are some really good mechanics. If you put those mechanics in lots of varied situations, then it would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game looks incredibly dull, to me.=/ Underneath, there are some really good mechanics. If you put those mechanics in lots of varied situations, then it would be great. I think Cube has hit the nail on the head there...it's all down to the mechanics and the unique ways on the fly you can use those mechanics....people already doing really cool stuff, like spawning as a titan and then eject when your up in the air stupid high to give yourself a ton of time falling to attack a titan for example. Also the wall jumping is fluid and there all kinds of nooks and crannys that can be used to get around. I also think the grunt AI is a intriguing idea as in the capture the base mode they do kind of meet the role of creepers in a moba moving in rank and file and lending support it's not ground breaking but interesting none the less. I'll be disappointed if the campaign multiplayer turns out to be dud as I would still like to have something to be beaten so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Eh? Elaborate on this please as I quite enjoyed the demo for the game. 4/10 on EDGE which panned it in almost every way imaginable. I was hoping for an elaboration on the formula in the first game mixed with some metroidvania exploring. Looks like that ain't happening. Quick look on meta critic doesn't stoke a boner either.

I just don't see it happening. It'll just be another CoD, I'd wager. I hope I'm wrong, by the way, I'd love a good juicy multiplayer shooter to sink my teeth into, but I just don't see Titanfall filling that gap, as it seems to stand for everything I despise about online multiplayer games. "I see all this potential, and I see it squandered." It seems like they're not interested in anything other than catering to lowest common denominator cravings, honestly, and that's a shame. It definitely could've been something truly remarkable... Coulda, shoulda, woulda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaepora_Gaebora Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Only had a quick go on this at my friends house on his One earlier, did some tutorial then a few games of Attrition...loved it! Felt very smooth to control and handle, a Metroid style mid jump boost was welcome, as was the whole free running stuff and ability to climb high up to get better vantage points. What really intrigued me was the lack of necessity for the actual Titans themselves. Sure they look boss and it's great to be in them charging about, but it was just as effective being the pilot on the ground and using the Titan as an automated killing machine and/or decoy, to then destroy other Titans. Which, by the way, is quite exhilarating when 'rodeo'ing' a huge mech! Top notch stuff, hope the final game lives up to this potential! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I got around to playing this last night with my nephew and his mates. Loved it! Everything is so fast and fluid and the inclusion of bots in the game makes it easy to get into and get a few kills here and there while you find your feet. Calling in a Titan and having a whole team attack at the same time is immense. Although I actually enjoy running around the floor/roofs more. I find it very satisfying jumping on an enemy Titan and taking it down that way. Another thing I love is how the enemy need to escape when losing. There was one match where all of them managed to make it to the drop ship but we all had Titans and concentrated fire on the thing, blowing it before they could escape. It's a shame the CoD crew on here ( @kav82, @Blade, @lostmario ) won't be getting involved with this. It seems to be very much the CoD killer that it was hyped up to be.

Charlie Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Underneath, there are some really good mechanics. If you put those mechanics in lots of varied situations, then it would be great. Remember that this is just the beta and only 3 game modes - it's meant to show you how the game works and provide feedback for the developers. I do however think it's worrying that they haven't announced any other game modes. I hope they don't do a COD Ghosts route and take away loads of the best game types such as demolition.

I saw that minutes after posting. Disappointed there's no demolition or any bomb type game but the variety mode will be good. I've always enjoyed the Halo games where you go into a random game type. Hopefully the campaign multiplayer will be really good. Do we have any details about that yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
