but I figured scores would suffer because people who suck at online shooters tend to not like that game.

As I've probably bored people with around here, I stopped playing pretty much all MP FPS games online because they made me and weren't that fun, except for Co-op. But I had a blast playing the beta, as even if you aren't very good, you can find success and have a lot of fun.

Today's my birthday, so I was holding out to see if my wife picked it up for me. If not, I'll go get it tomorrow....hopefully.

I asked her for a headset also, so we'll see. Doubt she picked that up, so thinking about dropping money on one of the new XB1 Turtle Beach headsets + an adapter......haven't decided yet.....

Titanfall ships at 792p on Xbox One

Respawn: "We're trying to optimise... we don't want to give up anything for higher res."

I agree with it completely. Frame rate and fluidity of play >>>>>>>>> graphics. I've read post launch they're going to do 900p with FXAA, or 1080p without the AA effects. Personally, if they can keep the frame rate at 60 FPS, I'd prefer 900p with the FXAA.

Ha, wife got me Titanfall. :)

She tried to get me a wireless headset, but not what I was after, so will probably return that.

I could barely get the collector's edition in my car. :D

I'm playing the campaign mode right now. If anyone is on, feel free to send me a message. I'd like to complete the campaign first though because it unlocks the other Titans for the standard online modes.

servers crash yet?

No issues for me so far. Had a tiny bit of lag in my first game, but that's it.

I'll be around later this morning. Some drunk ass douche took out a bunch of poles last night and killed power for the entire neighborhood, didn't get it back until around 5:30 this morning. So unfortunately my all-nighter of Titanfall never materialized. Instead, I'll be putting in a full day of Titanfall.

Sigh...........

That sucks. I hate it when I'm all hyped up to do something and then it gets ruined by something/someone that has absolutely nothing to do with me or my plans.

Yep. There have been three games where I would anxiously await the release. NCAA Football, Halo and now Titanfall. NCAA is dead, Halo won't be released until probably November, so Titanfall has been the newest game I've been anxiously awaiting since last July with NCAA '14. And it gets ruined. I hate that guy.

Nice, just finished the first campaign mission. Utter domination. My team won something like 400-179, I finished with the second highest score in the match and had 6/3 K/D. Fun as hell so far, and it is so goddamn refreshing for a FPS! After the beta and just one Campaign mission, I'm not sure I'll be able to go back to Call of Duty after this. It will not in any way be the same after playing Titanfall.

Damn, got all the way to "Assault on the Sentinel", the 5th IMC campaign mission, before I ended up on the losing team. Myself and the rest of us on IMC were able to sweep our way through the first four missions, but #5 was too much to keep the perfect record intact.

I finished both campaigns last night and called it a night. Nothing like waking up at 1 in the afternoon; reminds me of my NCAA '04-'07 days. :D

The automatic shotgun burn card is just filthy. Between the alpha, beta, and last night, I have to have something like a 10 k/d ratio when I use that thing.

Unlocked both unlockable Titans, so after I finish up winning each campaign mission for the achievement, I'll be ready to hop into the regular modes.

Yeah, I'm gonna go back and retry "Assault on the Sentinel" so I can keep working towards the win all missions achievement. Then I'll probably continue on the IMC campaign. We could whoop some serious ass if you, me, Austin and CoreySA all get online during the same time. So far just you, me and Corey are the only ones showing up with Titanfall on my Friends feed. If Austin can get hold of a copy today, get the four of us together in regular modes, we could definitely whoop some ass.

Well damn, I thought maybe I'd be able to go back and play previous missions, but I guess not, maybe not until I complete the full actual campaign. It's making me continue onto "Here Be Dragons". I'll have to keep track of what missions I lose then so I know which ones I need to win for the achievement.

Once you complete a campaign, it has a mission select type thing that allows you to pick an individual mission.

I'll be on a lot today. I'm getting around now to get something to eat, but then I'm free the rest of the day. I took this entire week off work several months ago and I was just lucky enough to have spring break this week, so I have no class and no work. God wants me to play this game. :D

Hopefully we can all get on at some point. Playing with random players in this game is a little less forgiving, but it still blows when you get full on retards.

Yeah, I'll definitely be on all day. The beta was fun as hell, but the FULL game, this shit is addictive! I've been playing for less than an hour and I've already had 7 rodeos. :D Screw my anti-Titan weapon, let me get close enough and take that bitch for a ride!

We've got a potential 5th person for future Titanfall ass whooping. Canes Fan (if I'm remembering correctly in that Grizzly Mojo is his tag) is playing Titanfall right now. So we've got me, Beatn, Canes Fan, AustinWolv and CoreySA all with Xbox One versions of Titanfall. We'd definitely have a hell of a nice team right there between the 5 of us.
