You have 4 spares in BF4. Pretty sure I saw 12 spares in TF.
[QUOTE=Avager;43887308]Though the thing with BF4 was you were handed only 2 or 3 spare mags. Here you got triple that (9), I'm VERY sure you won't see a problem with that anyway, as you can see from ingame videos, TTK is like in BF4, it takes jut couple of hits to kill someone.[/QUOTE]
That's true, but I don't see the point in having the mag dump system if you have so many magazines in the first place? Surely it would be much easier for people to understand if it was just the single ammo pool system with perhaps 4 or 5 magazines worth of ammo instead of 9-12 magazines that you can just dump. seems kind of pointless
[editline]12th February 2014[/editline]
For example, at a quick glance it's easier for someone to understand they have, say, 210 bullets left if it's the ammo pull system (30 in the magazine loaded and an extra 180 in the ammo pool) rather than having 12 magazines that you can dump, so roughly (on the extreme ends) 12-360 bullets. If you've dumped 3 magazines and have 9 magazines left, i don't think most people at a quick glance will do some math to say they have a POSSIBLE 270 bullets left. With that many magazines it would just be easier and more practical for an ammo pool system
No, people wont go "Oh man I have 6 magazines with 30 rounds each giving me 180 rounds left." They'll think "I can reload 6 more times before I run out of ammo."

That's what i'm saying, people WON'T do the math, and with people often reloading constantly, thinking "I can reload 6 more times before i run out of ammo" Might only mean "I have about 60 seconds of ammo left before i run out" Rather than having the ammo pool system where you can glance and see you have 180 bullets and in a situation think "I can waste probably 60 or so just suppressing an enemy and not have to worry about running out of ammo"
My point is, an ammo dump system with this many magazines seems pointless. It's not like an ammo pool system is going to be unrealistic for this game anyways, you have fucking auto headshot pistols that lock on to enemies

So people who won't be able to adapt to certain mechanics will be cannon fodder for others.
It was like that ALWAYS in any online game...
I'm totally fine with that, especially that I have seen some PC gameplay right now (jackfrags is streaming PC gameplay right now [url]http://www.twitch.tv/jackfrags[/url] ), gunplay is very fast, TTK is SUPEEER FAST, god it's even faster than in BF4 with Famas (well, not exactly, but you get my point).
Average Joe (Aka, cannon fodder) won't go through all of his mags anytime soon without dying.
I honestly don't think dumping partial clips would fit Titanfall. Those weirdos that play hardcore modes on CoD might love it though.
Not gonna lie, this game was only sorta-kinda on my radar. But then I watched this video Jesse Cox put out

Aaaaand now I'm hyped as balls.
[b]REGARDING MAG DROPS[/b]
honestly when you think about it, nobody is really even going to care about it. I don't get why you guys are making it such a big deal. Remember in the first call of duty games when you had hundreds upon hundreds upon HUNDREDS of ammo in your ammo pool? It was pointless to even have an ammo pool because as you walk over a dead person's gun you pick up like four magazines worth of ammo anyway (or like 80 bullets if it's a semi/bolt action rifle)
In TF your average magazine capacity is like 6+. 6 is the norm for a modern fighting soldier. 6 will get you through a whole firefight and back. 9 magazines? You'll die before you run out of ammo
Meanwhile in Ghosts and BF4 you're scrounging for ammo or ways to pick up ammo because you're only given like three spare magazines worth which is stupid for a modern day soldier
[editline]12th February 2014[/editline]
TLDR when you think about it, mag drop or not, TF gives you a realistic amount of spare ammo/magazines and doesn't hinder the gameplay at all
I never found a problem with mag drop. It doesn't make sense to not do it(I know, realism doesn't always have a place but it's a weird point of contention for me either way sadly enough) from a realism stand point, and it's not all that hard to deal with when it's implented anyways as most of the games that have it spray ammo and methods of getting ammo at you like it was nothing.
As long as titanfall balances mag drop with available ammo, then who cares.
I don't see living long in titanfall being the easiest of things.
There's already a shit ton of people streaming the beta on twitchtv

Just a heads-up the description says that this is from the Beta so all the textures are worse than in the final product.
I think they mentioned that they've said something about them being 25% of what's in the final game but I don't remember

Think your thinking of the alpha.
So, dedicated servers, but only by the devs. No server browser, no private matches, only lobby system with matchmaking, even for PC.
Well, that's disappointing.
[QUOTE=Gas_Snake101;43894826]Think your thinking of the alpha.[/QUOTE]
Might be but I thought they also said that the textures for the beta would be worse/smaller to make the download smaller but as said I might be wrong
[QUOTE=SHITBULLET;43895448]Might be but I thought they also said that the textures for the beta would be worse/smaller to make the download smaller but as said I might be wrong[/QUOTE]
Doubt it, the PC beta is already way over 10gb big I believe. Either go all the way with the downgrade and get the download size to somewhere around 3gb like it was in the alpha, or just go with the textures we're getting in the retail
[editline]13th February 2014[/editline]
in fact i'm pretty much 100% sure the beta textures are the final ones cause all i've seen them say about the possible technical differences between the beta and retail is, that they may try to bump the xbone version's res up to 900p

it's a sad day when i would literally kill for a dedicated server list. i hate matchmaking only so much but since it seems the way we're going, i've stopped complaining about it
is the beta literally only this weekend? surely not?
[QUOTE=Beacon;43895584]is the beta literally only this weekend? surely not?[/QUOTE]
14th to 19th
ok that's not so bad, cheers
As an old PC player... I really don't mind matchmaking in a game like this.
First of all, it's just 6v6, I treat it like a MOBA game actually with it's current features.
As long as matchmaking is pairing you up with people with an adequate skill level, I will be totally fine with it.
However, lack of dedicated community driven servers brings one important question, what's with cheaters?
As everyone probably knows, average PC player is capable of downloading and installing simple cheat (by it bought or free release), console users.... not really, doubt that an average one is capable of such things.
This means, PC is more susceptible for that, due to wider audience capable of doing such a thing.
I really, really do hope they have some good system against said cheaters/hackers :( .
Dunno, the last keys are apparently sent out around the 17th. Really should be a couple of days longer imo.
Codes start going out tonight!

Angry Joe is streaming some Titanfall.

Or he's trying to, at least. Audio issues. D:
Yesterday I came across someone not too obnoxious streaming it (maximillian or something) and I literally watched it for over two hours, and still I opened joe's stream too. I really need that goddamn beta key.
Giant Bomb is going to be streaming some gameplay at 6 PM EST.

Which is in... 2 hours and 15 minutes, right? Or 3 hours and 15 minutes? Got a late morning tomorrow and they're definitely worth watching so I know what I'll be doing after midnight
