    It is fun, lots of fun. Nicely paced and balanced. If you liked COD4 you will like this. If you didn't then there is a fair chance you won't really like this either.

    It is very accessible it took about 2-3 games to get the hang of it. Everyone is a starter so you don't have the **** bucket level 99 guys yet. But it will take a lot longer to master. To get to grips with the different styles, shields, dashing, wall running, boost jumping, melee kicks, cloaking, titans etc etc.

    I'm genuinely baffled as to why it's gotten so big pre-release

    I think people want something to justify them having bought a next gen console.
    No point buying any next gen console for at least 12 months from launch in my opinion.

    Do hardcore players play on consoles? I used to be a good Quake 2 player back in the day and nothing beats the keyboard, mouse setup.

    Although back then the ping was usually 250+ and usually have one guy with the magical ISDN connection.

    Yup. How many "3 game a year" guys do you know who do nothing but play FIFA and COD online on their systems? That pretty much sums up the bulk of my casual gamer mates

    Ahh right. I usually consider someone who plays games a few hours a week a casual. Yeah I do know a lot of people who only play cod and fifa. But I also know a lot of people who only play lol/dota or world of warcraft or starcraft or dayz etc. I think online games in general have a lot of players that play just stick to a few games.

    No such thing as a hardcore FPS console player, even an average K&M player will destroy a person playing with a controller.

    Hi guys,

    If anyone has a titanfall Xbox one beta code I'd greatly appreciate it :)


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,711 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    I still have concerns about the bots making those sweet kills less satisfying.. at least after the initial "Honeymoon" period of the game is over.

    Thats my number one and possibly only concern.
    How boring it could be to kill bots over and over again, ffs back when i was on 56k playing counter strike i could of played with bots but id preferred to struggle along with a ping of 300 + and losing dial up constantly than playing with bots.
    I havent played it so cant judge but how can they make bots any more interesting in a MP game than they currently are in the likes of CS ,red orchestra etc.

    That's because keyboard and mouse combos are more accurate and responsive though. It's not because the players are better, they're just playing with more accurate tools. It'd be like sticking concrete boots on Cristiano Ronaldo and expecting him to play better than messi wearing football boots

    I care less about that stuff than I do about online only shooters.

    Hopefully, I think I got in early enough so fingers crossed.
