My friend badgered me into buying this game and I'm glad he did. Read up on some reviews first, which were consistently excellent. The problem is that the price was very expensive, but is currently reduced by about 33% on Origin so I got the Deluxe version for £43 (previously a pricey £64).

Finished the training and run a little of the campaign and agree with the reviews, it's excellent. Great graphics, handling and a really good immersive atmosphere with a compelling storyline. The most important difference between this one and the first version for me is the addition of the single player campaign. I won't buy a game that's multiplayer only.

Let us know how you get on with Titanfall 2.
 
I've been thinking about getting it. I actually went and read reviews of specifically the single player campaign. They are all very positive.

I've seen a few people on the forum saying no way, because there was no campaign in the first and they don't trust EA. Please at least look up reviews. It looks promising!
 
Get it! Get it rtw!

The basic version is currently only £33 which is a good price for this and I don't think you'll regret it. Your CPU and GPU are capable of running it at good framerates, too.

Here, let me do EA's marketing for them: www.origin.com :p

I'd post a direct link, but the one I get for this game seems to be country specific, so just navigate from the home page.
 
I bought it. Downloading now. I'm not sure when I will sit down to try it out, but I couldn't pass on the $32.99 promotion. It probably wouldn't be that low again for a year or year and a half!
 
I don't think you'll regret it. It's also a low risk purchase, because of EA's return policy - 7 days from purchase or 24 hours from first running it.

I was hooked in 10 minutes flat. :cool:
 
Played a few rounds of the multiplayer and if you haven't played the original in a while it will take some getting used to but the way progression is handled in multiplayer is pretty satisfying and at least early on you are leveling up something or unlocking something after every match if you keep using the same weapons.

Yup, very good! I only played about the first 15 minutes after the on-ship tutorial, but I am very impressed! I have never been inspired to start firing while wall-running and just keep going (normally I am slow and methodical), but this is just FUN!

Changed my vote from Not Sure to Yes.
 
Qubit, have you finished the sp campaign yet? Was wondering if you know how it compares to Infinite Warfare in length and quality of missions, story, characters. I'm thinking of getting this instead of IW for a change of pace.

Oh gawd no, I've barely started it! :laugh: Only got it yesterday and I don't get round to actually playing my games all that much unfortunately, so it's gonna be a while until I finish it. I still have to finish Advanced Warfare which I've got a bit left of, first. Yes, I bought it when it came out waay back in 2014, took ages to start playing it and then take huge breaks between sessions! Feel free to facepalm. :)
 
Just checked http://howlongtobeat.com/, and this is what I found...

IW-TF2%20Length_zpsjdnpdws1.jpg


Kinda surprised TF2's base campaign is shorter than IW. However it does offer more extras.
 
Whoa, nice!! I just did 4 consecutive wall runs in a row, alternating sides of the canyon. This is like Mirror's Edge on steroids. :cool:
 
I bought it 3 days after it was available in Germany.

I have finished it a few days ago.

I never like fast paced games, but this is sick! Combat is a blast, with or without a Titan! I'm in my Titan now.

Not too much to say: Great Game.

I spend a lot of time playing online mode and i have a lot of fun, the only thing that it worries me and it will ruin the game is when the hackers/cheaters will start using Mods/Aimbots or softwares to inject code into the game, then it wont be fun anymore, the only thing that i find absurd about the game
is that a 8GB GPU cant handle it when playing with Insane settings.

8 out of 10

note: I hope they release a patch that solve the VRAM issue:banghead:
:banghead:

This video makes me confident my 7970 can handle it on Ultra. The only thing that worries me is the RAM usage. I only have 8GB.
 
More than 8GB? Jeez...

I dunno, just my opinion here, but perhaps this isn't a problem, but just a side effect of very advanced graphics? On the other hand, water looks like angular textures and therefore quite fake so perhaps it's not that. It's quite obvious in the training simulator, for example.
 
I've got two hours playtime now, and am at the first standard "Defend This Spot Against Overwhelming Odds Until We feel You've Died Enough Times" part. :wtf:

I'll be taking a break from it for today.

Is the right answer! :D
 
Gotta say after playing a bit more into the campaign that 5.5 hours thing seems just about right on the money I'm about 5 hours in and didnt expect it to be ending soon but i checked out spoilers and turns out I'm on the last mission so I'm sad to say it is short but it is by far the most enjoyable shooter campaign I have played in years. Caveat being I have not done Battlefield 1's campaign yet.
 
Based on what members have said on this game in this thread along with the good reviews, I changed my vote from "Not Sure" to "Yes". $40 is not a bad price. It may have to wait a while as I am having fun playing BF1 right now...
 
Nope, don't have a current gen console or PC capable of playing it with justice.

Never been into fast paced FPS's like that, besides i feel we have a rather saturated FPS genre at the moment. However i admit I'm out of the loop (prefer N64 era gaming) and only see what is advertised on TV these days.
The only game that's getting me hankering for a current gen console is yooka laylee. However don't want to derail so ill just leave it at the link in case anyone wasn't aware.
