It has been like this the entire generation since COD4 and even before that, the game is pacing and balancing around fast engagements, if you have played the previous CoDs and BF3/4 you'll realized Titanfall is actually slower. In recent CoDs the average time to kill on most weapons are only around 0.2-0.5 seconds, you take three to four shots you die.
And the game (and most of the shooter genre) isn't about 1v1 duels anymore which is sad, I still favor playing objective and don't care about how I kill or how I don't kill.

Okey. With the old school inspired movement I kind of expected the same inspiration to effect other parts of the gameplay too. Baby steps I guess. Maybe Titanfall 3 will be my game.

Most exciting and fun FPS game ive played last 10 years without any doubt. Just shooting a pistol in this game feels new, its so well done and impressive delivered that i feel ive been playing shitty games before basicly.
On top of that you have this amazing movement control, freerunning up walls and sideways feels so easy and even fighting with Titans feels like you are Optimus Prime fighting Megatron or something. Im 31 years old but my jaw is down on the floor most of the time in this game, it feels just freakin amazing.
And dont get me started on that Neo Anderson ability where you can freeze bullets mid air .....i freakin love it! This game will blow everyones mind and already has.

After 4 hours of playing this game I pre-ordered it. Both the Titan and Pilot playstyle feel fun, viable and different. It's not meant for arena shooter fans or CS fans but if you ever liked CoD4+ and you got burned out on those (like me) give this a try.

Well the Titan combat reminds me a lot of Quake/UT duels, in a titan engaging a Titan you neeed think about your ground advantage, deciding when to pop tactical abilities, when to disengage and when to chase a wounded enemy, if undisrupted a Titan duel will last very long (half to even a minute), combined with the shield regen and abilities, it has a lot of depth and tactical thinking.

Yeah i love the titan fights. Pilot is also good tho I would like a little more TTK but thats a the old school UT player in me I guess.

After 5hrs of playing, here's my thoughts on it.
It is a COD+Gunz Online+ Mech combination game.
Movement is extremely slick and I found myself moving extremely quickly and naturally through the map without much need to plan ahead etc, extremely well done.
Gunplay wise, its basically ez-mode as all the guns have NO recoil to speak of. Recoil management? Throw it out of the window, just hold down your mouse and you will get kills.
Smart Pistol is pretty much OP. I got the fast lockon mod for it and i felt unstoppable if your even halfway decent at a FPS. Oh btw you can shoot your own grenade with your smart pistol. Throw your grenade out, and shoot it for a air-burst effect. In a pinch, dont rely on your lockon mechanism, just manual fire it. Its a pistol with 12 bullets, as long as 3 hits the enemy pilot is dead. Dont even bother talking about the AIs. You feel like your badass when you jump out of a building, headshotting 4grunts +1spec in 1 quick shot BEFORE HITTING THE GROUND. You still get headshot bonus when the gun does the headshotting for you. Fun.
Arc grenades are seriously strong and come with a EMP effect that screws the enemy pilots/titans totally, yet still do decent amount of damage. Use them, love them.
Gameplay, I feel that the extremely long range 1hit KO jump kick is pretty annoying. Rodeo-ing a Titan is a piece of cake as the invisibility perk really makes you invisible to the Titan, and last practically forever. I found myself rodeo-killing more Titans than I do taking out my Anti-Titan weapon.
Titans are surprisingly deep in tactics/strategies. They are force multipliers, 1 Titan is strong, 2 is extremely strong and in packs they are pretty much unstoppable except by other packs. Rockets fly pretty slow in this game, if your good at using the burst movement of Titans, they are surprisingly mobile. Use the burst movement ffs.
However I do not see myself buying this game. I came from BF4 and this COD playstyle is just not for me. All in all it's a decent FPS that delivered what was promised....but I do not see myself playing it for extended amount of time. In comparison I have 137hrs and rank 95 in BF4 and still counting, all on Conquest.

Yeah it's a completely different genre of FPS.

You can just get it switched over. Got to the beta forums. They do it really fast.

Did you check your Origin account to see if Titanfall was there? When your ticket gets resolved, they just add the game to your account. You shouldn't be getting another code, maybe you registered multiple times?

No, it didn't add...and they just sent me another fucking XBOX code, even though all my emails say the same shit "I don't own an Xbox, I own a PC, but you keep sending me xbox codes.
Honestly, having to constantly dick with this shit has turned me off since by the time it gets fixed I won't be able to test anything.

Game is pretty fun overall, but personally, im not having fun playing as the Titan's themselves. I don't even bother calling them down anymore, since the gunplay and movement is really smooth, i just stay on foot all the time. Problem with that, is that the whole conceit of the game is to have the mech's battling alongside soldiers, but im not enjoying the mech part at all. I just feel like if i wanted to play with mech's, i could play Hawken, or Mech Warrior online. Game is fun, but im not impressed, and probably wont be buying it. Guns feel really good tho, but that's not enough for me to keep playing at the moment. Just hoping Halo 3 comes out on PC at some point! lol

You're supposed to just paste the code in the form, don't include any extra stuff in the form. You're actually using the EA support form right and not just emailing them or something?
(Copy and pasted instructions from http://help.ea.com/in/article/titanfall-beta-code-platform-issue-and-workaround/)
On EA Help - Search for Titanfall and select Contact Us.
Select PC as the Platform, and click Next
Select the Topic - Demo/Beta and type Eligibility issue, and click Next
Click on Email Me.
On the next screen, when asking for What type of Demo/Beta issue you are having, select Eligibility
Enter the Titanfall Beta code that is not working as the description of the problem.
Select Submit.
You will receive a new PC code within the next two hours.
If you're still getting xbox codes then post in the thread http://answers.ea.com/t5/Titanfall-Beta/Titanfall-beta-code-platform-issue-and-workaround/td-p/2337841/page/22 for them to look. Make sure to include your case #
