    Not yet - Reviews of the single player look good... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUHmdTOM1d8

    I wouldn't buy this for single player. It's like 5 hours long tops. It's good fun but something to keep in mind. TF2 is still, like it's predecessor a multiplayer game. The singleplayer is just mp practice.

    Absolutely loving it. Been playing the multiplayer mostly but will get stuck into the campaign over the next few days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,404 ✭✭✭Lone Stone


    enjoyed the first one so i picked it up, it's really fantastic im enjoying the campaign also the multiplayer is really fun, kinda wish i held of on bf1 and saved some money, this is more my pace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭Noxin


    I wants it but I'm gonna wait a couple of weeks and see what the numbers are like before committing.

    This ^.

    The first one looked cool but the MP side of the game died a death so quickly so when it came to this or BF1, my money went to Dice.

    I'll be picking this up later in the week. Looks brilliant.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    Got my copy today, just waiting to get home and get stuck in.

    Can I just remind those that are talking about "waiting to see numbers" that they are only contributing to the problem of "numbers might be low" by waiting for numbers :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,404 ✭✭✭Lone Stone


    the numbers situation doesn't really matter too much, because everyone is put into a sort of server bracket so your all matches are sorted by ping or some sort of thing so it says 15000 or so online but in my bracket there is about 800 people online who i can play with. Its a great idea all the matches are really smooth and i haven't died yet going wtf i shot that guy in the face. But it make's getting matches for some game modes not as fast as the main one's as it take's players from a smaller pool. That said you can change your player bracket thing and pick one with more players if you want.

    The numbers are already quite decent. I just want them to stay that way. Dont wannt pay for a game that has died after a few weeks.

    You might have a pending restart needed. That's usually the case here if you didn't get by it already.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 349 ✭✭Stormhawk88


    Completed this Yesterday story was ok I suppose but the actual gameplay and level design was class. Multiplayer is going well its torn me away from overwatch anyway at least.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    Would buy this for multiplayer but I'm really concerned about its player base.
    I grew to love the first game,with a few friends we ran a weekly streaming event on Saturday evenings and attracted the majority of PC players.
    That in itself speaks volumes because our event was nothing special at all very amateur-ish to be honest but the community was so lacking in streamers,youtubers and general numbers etc that we always had the tiny community tuning in and participating.
    It lasted a few months until literally we couldn't find players to play with.

    Such a massive shame because this looks like a much better MP experience.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,282 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    I'm going to buy it tonight anyway. No interest in Battlefield this time, but some giant robot action sounds like fun. No paid dlc either, which is something i can definitely get behind.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,274 ✭✭✭de5p0i1er


    I formed a network called Boards.ie if anyone is interested in joining and we can all start playing together. maybe organise a Titanfall 2 night here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,162 ✭✭✭_CreeD_


    I joined the EIRE one earlier but will look for yours when I'm back on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    Single player is fantastic, as good if not better than HL and HL2.

    Will try out MP later.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,282 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Really enjoying it, and always up for a game or two. I'll join the two networks mentioned above as well.

    Played a bit of the MP, its exactly what I expected. Very good.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    Bought it yesterday for €22 ,bargain :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Perhaps playerbase is an irish concern, but only until very recently I could always count on a game of Titanfall 1.

    Single Player campaign was class, havent tried too much MP but I got stomped hard. Slightly different vibe, seems more tactical than twitch now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 249 ✭✭Kai123


    MP is going strong and the player-base is growing from my own experience.

    The game selling cheap at a time when word-of-mouth of the game has ramped up in the last week or so. Player numbers are not a problem at all.

    There are alot of game-modes but some are untouched, I've never been able to get a CTF game but Attrition (6v6 with bots) seems the most popular.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,893 ✭✭✭Canis Lupus


    In Australia it's pretty much Attrition or nothing. Bit f*cking annoying.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    Matchmaking sucks played today a team of all under level 10s vs 5 level 50s who could basically fly and one shot you everytime.

    Anyone here playing in any interesting networks on this ?


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,531 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    Hey folks, is this locked to 60fps? No matter what I do with the settings it won't budge above 60fps. Even when i lower the resolution.

    You need to adjust the V-Sync settings. IIRC, I set mine to adaptive and then I was getting 100+. If you can't see adaptive, try dynamic. I think it depends on the type of gfx card you have. That should unlock the frame-rate.

    Thanks. I've a g-sync monitor so have v-sync turned off, it's hardly incompatible with g-sync is it?

    I know this sounds weird, but turning V-Sync off is actually the problem. I always, always, turn V-Sync off as I prefer a limitless frame-rate (I have a 144hz monitor). For some reason, IIRC, Titanfall limits the fps to 60 if you turn off V-Sync. When I turned it on (I was desperate to try anything to break 60fps) all of a sudden I was hitting 100+.

    Mess with the V-Sync settings. One of them will unlock the frame-rate. This also worked for my brother. I am using an AMD R9 390X and he has an Nvidia 1080. When we both turned on V-Sync, the 60fps limit went away. I hope this helps!


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully

    Are you sure about that ? I'm running it with vsync off since day one to achieve 144fps without any issues.

    Always always turn vsync off if you want to have competitive aim , it causes input lag.

    @Mickeroo check your NVidia control panel to makes sure gsync is turned on and indeed your running @ 144hz.


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,531 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    Thanks lads, will check it when I get home tonight and let ye know how I got on. I'm pretty sure i switched gsync on in nvidia control panel but don't recall setting a frame rate so that might be it.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    Just make sure your res is set to native res and 144hz,then gsync is on.
    Theres also a setting for monitor technology, make sure that's set to gsync too.

    Yeah my issue was i had someohow missed the fps setting in Nvidia control panel and it was set to 60fps, put it up to 144 and that sorted it. Thanks guys. :)
