I think they tied the unlocks to the campaign mode to make sure that those who do want to play it have people to play against.
Still kind of silly, in my opinion. I follow that logic, but I don't think that's wise on Respawn's part, if that was their reasoning. Multiple other reviewers are critical of the "campaign" too. Sounds as though it had potential and fell short on itself.
By the way, just got home from work, but still don't know if I'm going to be able to play it. Had to "Repair" the game, which apparently meant it was missing 15 GB of material. Now I have to download that 15 Gigs during prime time in my out-of-the-way area. I think I'll be lucky if I get to start up the game tonight. :-\
EDIT: In case anyone else is struggling, this page seems to have a lot of handy tips for improving your installing and running the game: http://guide4games.net/titanfall-pc-graphic-problems-crashes-tweaks-graphics-issues-installation-fixes/

Is there anyway to check if it runs on my pc? Like some kind of demo or something?
I am not sure if it will run smoothly with 60 fps and i dont know if i want to play a shooter like this with anything less.

I feel like the maps in the game seem to favor the heavier Ogre titans as opposed to the nimble and faster ones. The maps seems to mostly be of the small urban environment types where there are around 2-4 lanes. Meaning that flanking seems to be not very applicable in most situations when bumming rushing up the middle seems to be the norm.
Anyway, how can a titan properly utilize the mobility of the light/medium titans? perhaps kiting with a sniper running around the map?

The engine that the game runs on is considered to be a pretty old one and the minimum specs are not too crazily high. I am not sure of a way to demo the game or anything similar. But here are the minimum specs anyway:
AMD Athlon X2 2.8GHz or Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz
4GB RAM
512MB VRAM, Radeon HD 4770 or GeForce 8800GT

FINALLY downloaded and installed. Worth every frustrating penny and second. :->
|
I'm in a pretty unfortunate area to download this game lol. Is there no other way to reduce the games size by a few gigs at least? Seriously, this business with uncompressed and unnecessary sound files in games are mind boggling, data caps are annoying, games that take a huge swoop in one download is even more annoying.

just finished the campain for one side. basically its like normal multiplayer with some story telling in the background. needed like an hour. could be worse. ill do it again for the other side to unlock then 2nd titan and then be done with it.
|
That was quite the install! 50 Gb!
|
Finished the campaign for both sides and played a few matches afterwards. There seem to be a few improvements over the Beta, or maybe it's just less lag. Beta I could only play on the lowest settings, but it runs smoothly with higher settings now.

Same for myself. Game now runs near-flawlessly on highest video settings. That's a very welcome improvement.

I must admit, having played black ops 2 as last fps game before this, I kind of miss the ability to record or watch replays of games. Especially with a game that's as action packed and relies so much on movement as Titanfall, it would be quite nice to be able to see some of your best kills again.
Also I have yet to try other game play modes than Attrition and Hardpoint. I never really like capture the flag type of games. Pilot Hunter sounds just like the same with a different scoring mechanism. Last Titan Standing sounds like a very short mode.
I actually enjoy Hardpoint the most lately, even though I hardly use my Titan there anymore. Just drop it down in auto mode and proceed to capture/defend the points by foot.

Last Titan Standing isnt actually all that short. People play a lot more careful and tactical just because you only have 1 life.

From a eurogamer interview with an engineer --------------
“We have audio we either download or install from the disc, then we uncompress it. We probably could have had audio decompress off disc but we were a little worried about min spec and the fact that a two-core machine would dedicate a huge chunk of one core to just decompressing audio.”
“So… it’s almost all audio… On a higher PC it wouldn’t be an issue. On a medium or moderate PC, it wouldn’t be an issue, it’s that on a two-core [machine] with where our min spec is, we couldn’t dedicate those resources to audio.”
My problem is that they dont give anyone the option to do one thing or another. For instance, i have a OC'd Quad Core I7, so im not worried about dedicating a single core to decompressing, but, i have 600 Kb/s download since i live in a rural area, why not allow me the option to download say, a 25 GB install instead. Its a minor gripe, but frankly 50GB download for a game that is mainly just multiplayer, is kind of insane, again, i would have liked the option to chose a package. Im not sure if they were lazy, or actually couldn't implement something like chosing between 2 packages or something. Anyways, just my 2 cents!

Probably because general idiots will choose the 25 GB install over the 50 GB install despite there being warnings/etc, then complain loudly online that the performance on their computers suck and that Titanfall sucks and that Respawn sucks, etc etc because no one wants to have spent hours downloading a 25 GB version and find out that their own stupidity means they have to download the 50 GB version afterwards.

Plus each game is a best of 7, so if it goes to all 7 rounds it actually takes the longest of any game mode. I had some games take 20 mins in beta.

It comes down to a ton of camping, because anyone who gets caught out of position gets slammed hard with the ordinance weapon and the special ability.

I'm thinking of it as a business point. The more time the devs works on a game, the more it's going to cost the company. Respawn didn't want to put anymore of their budget into supporting a minority of people (people with small data cap and slow speeds, need verification) pretty sure this is what happened with the new cod (activision)
But then again, i'm not quite sure about the technical effort needed to make the games audio compressed. But man, it sure is bullshit. If I do get the game, I don't think it'll be worth it putting it into my 120gb SSD either.

I really like the game but it's hard to find a game on the right level for maximum enjoyment. Being way better than the enemy team is boring and being way worse can be really frustrating.

I don't think you really need to put it on a SSD. You're gonna need to wait for everyone else to load before the round starts, anyways, and I don't think it's a very HD intensive game based on all other specs.

Domination may quickly turn into a camping fest. I sat at C on the Campaign mission with all the dragon-like creatures and kept picking people off silly enough to try and take the position. A Titan or two finally overwhelmed me in contesting the point, but I still managed to dodge enough of its attacks to stay alive the whole time.
I'm actually finding it difficult to hit enemy Pilots with Titan weapons beyond dashing in and insta-stomping them. Even the melee, though graciously forgiving in terms of hit detection, I tend to miss by a few feet. So, I've essentially concluded that I'm best at slaying Pilots as a Pilot, and trashing Titans in a Titan.
Once again, my Origin ID is: "AnaxofRhodes". Plan on playing tonight. Would love to have a team to interact with.
