That's the exact same card I have. I'm a little surprised Titanfall 2 has such intense requirements. BF1 looks substantially better (IMO) and it has way lower requirements and ran great on my machine even on high settings.

EDIT: Never mind I was looking at an out of date article. Apparently they ask for the exact same card. Maybe I'll pick this up anyway to see what happens.

I'm assuming it'll be at least playable on a 970, I'd be very surprised if it wasn't

I just reinstalled and played a bunch of TF1 and man this poo poo runs a lot better at 120fps with a 1060. My main problem when the game first came out is that even if the frame rate was high, shooting just felt really loving laggy and stuttery for no reason. There was also quite a lot of people running around with stealth and the smart pistol!

We'll see but EA's been really overstating their requirements for games recently. BF1 is marvelously optimized but the specs they listed caused communal doubletakes around the internet.

It's source in the same way CoD4 is quake3. It says dick. You can yank out the renderer and replace it with something else entirely.

Besides that if you look at min spec and then look at recommended you will notice a 970 is still very close to it. Don't :supaburn: immediately, goons!

I got Battlefield 1 from GameStop and the guy told me there's some sort of deal where I preorder Titanfall 2 and I get the game for just $35 since I bought Battlefield so I took him up on it.

Pretty ingenious idea on the part of EA if they rigged that deal since it's gonna keep me from getting CoD!

Please don't engage the troll. This is a thread for TF not for being baited into discussing whether or not titanfall is representative of the LGBT community.

And in my book, for the record, bro-titans marrying bro-pilots is A-OK with me, if not preferable!

My issue was more "who cares about Titanfall single player?"

I know they added it in because reviewers killed them for it last time, but it was never the point of the game. I know I can discount any of these reviews that spend 2/3 of the time talking about it.

The SP looks loving rad though. Sure the games main focus is MP but having a cool SP campaign which can put those same mechanics in other cool scenarios is not a bad thing.

If it's kicking rad I care because it will be another cool and good thing to do with orbital dropped roberts.

If it turns out bad I won't care because I'll be chilling in the mp anyway.

Everyone getting nervous about the PC specs, read this:

https://www.titanfall.com/en_us/news/pc-specs/

quote:

So, what does it mean when we say "minimum" or "recommended"? Since this is a variable standard across the entire industry I think it is important for me to detail the kind of experience you can hope to expect. In the past minimum specs were literally the minimum bar to launch the game - your experience once in the game was probably not going to be ideal. Our goal for minimum PC specs on Titanfall 2 is that you can play at a 1600x900 resolution with most details turned on and average around 60fps. We strongly believe that if you at least match the posted requirements you should have an excellent visual and gameplay experience playing the game, so don’t be alarmed if you boot it up and don’t need to turn all the settings to Low for playable framerates – our artists would actually like if you could see their work! Because of this you will probably be able to actually run the game on a lower-than-minimum spec PC, but the quality and performance won’t quite be ideal. For recommended PC specs we're aiming for details nearly maxed out, 1920x1080 resolution (2560x1440 is also very playable), and again an average of 60fps or higher. We chose the minimum specs with 60fps in mind for the pure gameplay benefits you get once at 60fps (and beyond!).

Yeah looks like the minimum is really not very minimal, you could run it with less, but they want you to have a solid experience with stable FPS.

They've made considerable amount of changes since the Tech Test, taking in pretty much ALL feedback. Recent gameplay clips looks to be really improved and refined than what was essentially a build from Mid-June.

Combination of both. I think a lot of the negative reaction to the tech test was people instinctively lashing out at anything different. There are still some holdouts who think 3rd person animations or no Titan shields are dealbreakers, but most people have come to accept the changes. On top of that, the changes made after the first weekend (movement adjustments, titan timers) and the reveals of things missing from the tech test (attrition) have rendered a lot of the original concerns obsolete. Plus all the new stuff revealed since then and the date getting closer and closer have naturally increased the hype levels.

Four of the six Titans have shields, though. Just not auto-activating/recharging omni-directional health-bar shields.

I haven't played it, but from what I understand you actually have three healthbars anyway, since you don't actually keep taking damage while in emergency mode. Plus you can still get a shield if you steal a battery.

Are you referring to the vortex shield? Cause that's really not the same as the regenerating shield, especially since a titan in the first game could have both.
