Took me about 40 mins to install it! I heard today may be the last day but im not sure. Can take 10 - 15 mins to get into a game coz of limited servers, but once your in, jobs a good un.
Its fantastic, you can't not like it!

Tomorrow was originally the last day but now they have made it open on both xbone and pc to stress test the servers, so no codes needed and they are extending the close date to later in the week.

As for limited servers... this shouldnt be the case. Its one of the first games using microsoft azure so I doubt there would be a lack. Esspecially with it being limited access the last few days.

Mine is still downloading because Origin is a steamy pile.

Yeah. Been playing it a lot. Definitely picking a copy up launch day. Was worried when I heard it was 6v6 as it was only humans I played with at eurogamer( or at least that's what I thought) but after playing it it does make sense. Lots going on and very hectic.

Used to love the fast paced hectic cod games. I liked how the games were short so if I wanted a quick blast I could. Prefer battlefield 4 though by miles. This is bf4 is a game I play all night. Titans all is more like cod in that department so is a great replacement for the boring cod.

Only thing is the graphics of titanfall look a little bland. No very detailed. Not a patch on battlefield. There is a fair bit of screen ripping too but hopefully this will all change.

Either way it's a great laugh so it's got my vote

What's more is it is apparently of similar graphical quality on PC..... So hopefully this is all down to the beta. Never been too fused with graphics, but going from battlefield 4 to this is similar to going from bf4 to cod ghosts IMO.

Funny, I bought my mrs a ps4 for her birthday so I could get my xbox one back lol. She only plays bf4 and cod so got her bf4. Got to say, I can't tell the difference on both consoles.

Its using source engine which is what Half-Life 2 launched. So you're talking about a 10+ year old engine. I wont even be able to touch "insane textures" which requires 3gig of vram. So I get the feeling its a touch on the poorly optimised side. As you say, its not a scratch on Battlefield.

There is quite a bit of difference from xbone to PC. With xbone running at 720p

Them stills of pc do look better but still not great. Wonder why they used such an old engine. It could of just looked so much better with something more modern. I know it should be more about gameplay but I still want it to look shiney lol

How you finding it on pc?

Finally got it fired up. Man, this is one ugly game. Managed to run everything on the highest setting (even though it said I couldn't).

The screen tear is pretty bad, especially seeing as double/triple buffer V-sync doesnt really work, just causes the screen to stutter instead. Common problem.

As for the game itself. Much faster than I thought it would be, but over all its ok.
I was hoping with it being a futuristic setting they were going to be a bit more creative with the weapons. But instead its the same old bullets and rockets.

Impressed with the servers. Longest I had to wait to connect was 2 seconds, and the levels load in around 10-12 seconds.

So it's not just xbox that has screen tear. Funny thing is when I played it at eurogamer it looked nicer and there was no screen tearing on the game I played and games I watched

I get the feeling some games are jazzed up at E3 etc.. to help get the hype train rolling and get the pre orders in. A good example was Alien: Colonial Marines.

All that effort they did then the final product looks nothing alike. To be fair there werent as much difference on titanfall at eurogamer. Just nice and smooth and a higher resoloution. The devs have said already that the final resoloution is higher . Its screen ripping that bothers me more than anything. Reminds me of assassins creed on xbox 360. I just couldnt play it as it was so off putting. Bf3 was the same.

I played Titanfall at Eurogamer but it wasn't running on xboxone it was pc with Xbox controllers.
Prsonally I've had no screen tear or any problems gamewise or graphical. There will be apparently 33 weapons in the full game. The smart pistol is bit more futuristis as well as an Arc Cannon (not in the beta).
I love how fast the game is but think the A.I needs ramping up a few lvls. Bit too easy pickings, not very rewarding for a kill. Game mechanics in though are superb.

I thought it would be on pc at eurogamer as it was pre alpha. I only get screen ripping when there are loads of things on screen at once.... like 5 titans and loads of people lol. It is proper manic. Like you say the grunts are far too easy. Most people arent new to fps now so it doesnt need to be that easy. Could become boring for long term use if you are quite experienced in the genre.

I have spent a good few hours on the two maps and I still look forward to going home from work to give it a blast lol

Yeah I'll be doing the same! I think you can leave Respawn feedback as well so im just gonna comment on the ease of A.I and hope they jazz it up a bit. Havnt seen/heard anyone not enjoy it yet......bar Sony fanboys lol.
Definitely a step in the right fps direction.

Cool I will leave a comment too. I gave up reading fanboy comments along time ago lol never seen anything like it with the ps4 vs xbox one comments. I do see a sort of resemblance to cod but at the end of the day its the original people who made it so why wouldnt they use a similar system. The difference is there are loads of bits which completely change the mechanics. The mechs, the diffent levels of combat I.e floor, roof, walls double jumping , mechs. Like we have said it just needs the a I turning up a few notches and maybe at a push 8v8 so there a a few more humans. This would balance the ai and humans a bit more
