    I haven't seen the next gen versions drop in price anywere. It's still €60+ in most shops. The 360 and PS3 versions dropped in price for a while over Christmas.

    The PS4 version is €55 on play.com. That's probably the cheapest you'll find it.

    I tried playing this again the other day and it's still broken as fk, the graphics still look like Quake did on my first pc with a 1 MB onboard SVGA video card - it's so bad that I literally can't see enemies if they're at any kind of distance.

    This on a PC that plays BF4 on High settings with a consistent 50-60 FPS.

    It's a real shame because it could be a lot of fun if it worked.

    I think that's one of the things that annoyed me most. I found it very difficult to see enemies! Haven't played it in a while but may throw it on again over the weekend, if I'm not enjoying it I'll head back to BLOPs2

    ^^ Brilliant.

    Played the game a while ago. Enjoyed the campaign. MP is brutal. Worst i'v seen.

    Agreed. This is actually a real thing though, a duck camo pack! FFS

    I'm so happy the Titanfall Beta starts today!

    453Mb patch on steam this morning ? no idea what it is yet though..EDIT online states
    The new update has added a highly requested feature: an FOV changer, which allows the max setting of 80.

    Free weekend on Steam, downloaded it to give it a go but it was a waste of time. 2195 people online and I can't get into a game at all. Are things really that quiet on PC?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,073 ✭✭✭MarkY91

    Call of Duty has had a miniscule following on PC for years.

    It's primarily a console product.

    I just got this and am getting awful lag, i hope its lag. Im running into people who knife me but i drop before i even see a knife. I die and then see them swing. Im on ps4. Did anyone else encounter anything like this?

    Yup it's down to some people not having DX 11 cards and also down to the fact it runs so badly on PC too . I have about 11 hours multiplayer and have given up on the game . I'm back to black ops 2 for my call of duty gaming .

    I found some the levels too big when I first started, but you have to set up you classes to counter this. There are enough close quarters levels in there, and all the DLC levels are medium/small maps. Some have taken a bit of getting used to, but overall I've always preferred IW level design to Treyarch. That's just personal opinion though (don't hate me :pac:).

    I have to disagree about it not being as fast as BlOps 2........ if you use the right perks, this game is unbelievably quick! Be sure to use Quickdraw, Stalker and Focus (among other Perks), and try the Honeybadger with grip and extended mags. There are so many more combinations in this game compared to previous ones.

    I enjoyed BlOps 2, but the connection quality was always hit and miss. Ghosts is much smoother to play online and I find I'm having more fun with it.


    Agree with most of this. Have different classes for the different maps stormfront, whiteout or stonehaven = sniper/marksman rifle split between mtar/R5/honeybadger for the other. Have a shotgun class for cranked on strikezone /tremor.

    Generally I'm enjoying the game. have about 6 days of playing time in multiplayer so far.

    Played MW2, MW3, BLOPS1 and 2. Find I dont have as much problems with lag as I did in BLOPS 2 but you do find a lot more people hiding in corners (learn the corners and shoot first :) )

    This is €24.99 here at the moment, is it worth it at that price?

    yeah, The beta sealed the deal for me, thought it was incredible. I've been playing battlefield since the one launched. Its good, but its not the type of game for just having a laugh, if you dont have the tryhard face on all the time its a very miserable experience, its riddled with bugs too.

    Its coming out on xbox 360 as well, granted we havent seen any footage or screenshots of it yet, but who knows? It might be ok.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,073 ✭✭✭MarkY91


    i have to laugh at anyone buying an xbox when they got a ps4 already just to play titanfall.

    I'd agree with you on that , I would tell them to upgrade a PC with a second hand quad core CPU and a GTX 750 . A cheap and cheerful gaming PC .

    I was planning on getting it on 360 until I heard it was basically being back ported for the system and not by Respawn, they didn't want a 360 release at all apparently. It might be alright though who knows.

    Im wondering why we haven't seen any screenshots or videos myself, its either that:

    1. It looks very good, but they're trying to encourage people to move to xbox one
    2. it looks terrible and they don't want to tarnish the goodwill that's there already.

    the skeptic in me is tending to go with number 1.

    Pretty sure it only runs at 900p on XB1
