They said they were going to do that all along. After they made the DLC free to everyone for tf1 they said they would follow that model for the sequel.

Glad they stuck with it, it's clearly the best idea for an MP game.

Yeah I have absolutely no problem with microtransactions as long as they're purely cosmetic and you actually buy the thing you want instead of just more random chances to get it (looking at you, Mass Effect 3). I may even throw down a few bucks myself for a fancier Spectre scarf.

I don't mind microtransactions as long as they don't go the Gears of War 4 route and put everything being an RNG-paywall. Seriously, I'll buy cosmetic poo poo just to play dress-up if I know I'm actually buying the said thing I want and not a "box" that rolls several possible items.

Enjoy it while you can.
SP was good, lots of places to use movement and tools rather than weapons to kill and the whole layout looks like they had fun making it. Really wish it was longer. Been a long time since I played MP in Titanfall 1, but in 2 it's fantastic. Movement is great, the grappling hook is an amazingly fun tool to use and over all was pretty drat solid. Glad I decided to get this instead of sitting on the fence because of 1. Release tomorrow will release the MP flood gates so matches don't turn into a 20 minute wait to pick up enough people to launch.

You might be thinking of BF1 (pre-order to get early access), anyone playing Titanfall 2 early used a VPN. Otherwise, TF2 unlocks tonight (9 PM PST :dance:)

That refers to a map they're going to release in the future, not the game itself. If you pre-order, then you'll get to play on the map 3 days before it releases for everyone else.

The preorder thing only applies to playing the angel city map 3 days early, which releases in December. The game comes out at 12am EST tonight for PC but you can VPN to unlock it now. For consoles I believe it's tomorrow

So you have to remain under the VPN to keep playing? I launched the game "from" Singapore and it ran fine, but I turned of the VPN and my game is locked away again.

Don't buy from grey market key sites if you want to play a game immediately on release.

I'm not saying its always going to be the case, but this happens all the time with grey market key sites. I mean go for it, its probably cheaper, but a lot they fail to deliver keys on time.

My rule of thumb is to buy through normal means if I want it right at launch but after launch I'll grey it up.

Hmm weird, I played a round with the VPN to korea active, but it disconnected itself and i could still get back into multiplayer without reconnecting. Did you try keeping the game open when you disconnected the VPN?

I've always found GMG to be the most reliable in terms of early cd keys and the cheapest but lately they've just been total garbage on both those fronts.

I'd still say though just buy through the actual distribution platform if you want something by release. Especially if you want to preload.

Stats page will come in a later update, and Respawn has said they're already tracking everything for when that comes.

While the Advocate Gifts are "loot box" style rewards, I've seen a dev say that they will never be purchasable with real money. And I've noticed that the camos and such that come from Advocate Gifts can be unlocked with merits so you don't have to wait for random chance to get the one you really want. EDIT: Looks like some AG camos can be bought, others can't. The cosmetics unlocked via challenges can't be bought so you really have to earn them. Seems like they're doing everything right.

Played a few more rounds. Game seems to be pretty good but I'm getting absolutely stomped because the matchmaking is hot garbage right but, but I think that will improve once it unlocks for everyone.

Been running through Singleplayer and it's really fun, looks drat good too but I'm seemingly halfway through about an hour in. I'm also playing on Master difficulty while looking for the helmets. drat.

I played through it on Hard, will probably play through it again on Master and try to go for all the collectibles. It's a fun campaign but I'm not sure how much I'm gonna want to replay it when I know I could be dropping titans in multiplayer.

There are a lot of standout moments I might replay or something here and there, there's one section in particular involving a game mechanic that I didn't know was in the game was super fun to play through.


e: edited out the spoiler, I really think it's something worth playing through not knowing about it.
