I play mostly online and if I was there I'd be trading in my console/returning it as soon as possible.

Fair play to Respawn for not releasing a unplayable game but that still means that MS released a console that's vastly restricted in South Africa; no azure/cloud and probably even less media services than we get.

its latency thats the issue with SA so most Azure/Server setups are fine for use in SA the xbox one isnt restricted in that sense. Media services are restricted because its SA they're going to be **** anyway

Id say if there was a single player element to the game SA would have got a release.

The fact that its an online only game means they had to pull it if the infastructure is not up to par there, as online is the only component so if thats not possible then theres no point?

Expansion

You have yet to prove your case that an expansion pack is not considered paid DLC. I would agree if the expansion is a standalone however BFBC2 Vietnam was paid downloable content. You had to own the BFBC2 to play Vietnam. Case closed

Moving on....

Back on topic, Check out the real Titanfall Xbox One that Respawn employees are getting. How cool is that.

wow that looks deadly
I'd buy that
my only gripe with the xbox one is how dull it looks
but that certainly would take that dullness away:D

It's like going back to the 80's

And yet it's till vastly more entertaining than most of RTE's output.

Interesting video on the roots/influences of Titanfall. I love Xbox Ahoy's videos, he's like the David Attenborough of video games.

South Africa is very different to the rest of Africa in terms of development. Fair play to Respawn for this but to be honest id say SA is a pretty small market.

I don't know of any expansion pack that didn't require you to own the vanilla game...doesn't make them the same as a map pack tho.

In BFBC2's defense... they did release like 15 maps and a number of guns for free over the period of 9 months or so... can't really fault them on that.. and while i don't really consider Vietnam a full on expansion, it was more than the typical map pack DLC that CoD games released (5 maps, 15 weapons, 5 vehicles, voice overs and soundtracks). Honestly tho, I've grown to accept the whole DLC thing CoD/BF/Titanfall do nowadays.

This is obviously why they are reluctant to release mod tools on PC.. because they know how easy it is to make these studio quality maps with whatever mapping tools they have and no-one on PC would buy these maps if they can just play community made ones instead.

Wish more game developers and publishers would take Valves approach and let the community produce content for them, I think Gabe Newell even said that one of their biggest focuses with Source 2.0 is in making the content creation tools even better. It really is a win/win... Players get tons of free content while valve makes lots of money on their marketplace.

Yes and no there's currently 51 odd million people in South Africa. As of 2012 only 25,000 had an ADSL speed of 10mb or above.

Currently a 20mb line there would cost you RH 995 and when you consider the average monthly salary is RH 6,500 thats quite alot of your salary for good internet.

Still worth it though :P:P:P:P:P

Dragon Age Orgins: Awakening and Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare don't need the vanilla game, C&C: Red Alert 3 Uprising is another I think. Hard to think of any beyond that off the top of my head and certainly not for a competitive FPS.

There will be a 24 hour live stream on Twitch from the 11th by the lads who do the call of duty marathons, so will get to watch that until my Amazon delivery arrives.

It's all multiplayer. All competitive multiplayer as well as far as I know.

Saw a news item earlier that said that the XBone day 1 patch is 840 MB, so worth keeping in mind if you're too silly to move to a part of the country with real internets.

If you're going digital on Xbox one, the download is just over 16 gig , includess the patch

Erm, that's standard UPC folks. I'm on the 100Mb package and I get this:



If you need tubes and aren't prepared to move to a part of the country where you can get them, there's only one person to blame... This is one of the reasons why I don't live in Mayo anymore.

I'm actually cancelling my UPC cause they have such an appalling connection to Twitch.tv (they don't have peering set up with them) and my 20Mb DSL connection from Magnet gave me much, much better quality of stream from Twitch.

But I digress, 2 days to go and I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into this game. I don't know if I've looked forward to a game as much in quite a while.
