Titanfall multiplayer is going to suck in South Africa

Tarryn has been playing asked her what the latency is and said between 150-250 depending on server and its playable as she is in the top 5 each time.

Anything above 120ms is to high for a twitch based fps, which leads me to believe that this game isn't at all fast paced...It also really depends on the AI in the game...Now I'm not sure I want it from a game play point of view :(

If this is true than I don't think there should be an issue. 150 - 250 is great for international servers. Wont even pick up any lag. So for us who did not get a key. See u online in March.

Keep in mind that Tarryn is primarily is a console gamer. They're used to inferior FPS experiences.

Ye anyone who thinks that 150+ ping is ok for a shooter, as has been mentioned already, is nuts ........ latency is key and to think you won't notice it is silly. Why do you think we have local servers for FPS games ;)
 
Ja a ping of 150+ is never going to work.I played Cod with brits with that sort of ping and it is crap compared to when you play with locals p2p.I have also heard that the so called bots are as dumb as a bag of hammers they just stand around the level waiting to get shot,this is just what I heard, would like to hear more from local guys though.
 
yea idk dudes FPS game and high ping :/ not sure if will go for it. But OMG the game looks so good. Just the server issue is a bit troublesome
 
Apparently the game is going into Open Beta on PC tomorrow, but it'll be for a day or 2 before they shut it down...I really wanted to test this out but even with my awesome line I don't think its worth downloading 12.4GB just for a few hours worth of play time.

Meh

I have watched quite a few game play vids and its looking more and more amazing, guys reporting that the game can use upto 4GB vid ram onve you max all settings and your playing on 2560 x1440.
 
Here is a interesting article of the performance of Titanfall on Xbone and pc.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-titanfall-beta-tech-analysis
Just a little snippet about the pc version.
"Visually, PC gamers looking for an edge over the console release in terms of lighting, shadows, effects or model detail may be disappointed. Even at the "insane" texture quality setting on PC, the oil rig structures around the Fracture map still share precisely the same washed-out mapping as the Xbox One, while floor mapping is also like-for-like. Much of the game's assets and rendering tech are shared in this sense, right down to the distance of the shadow filtering cascade."

Well I would like to know if we going to have local servers by launch, I really like what I have been seen, but honestly I do not see myself buying any game that doesn't have local servers, made that mistake with Crysis 3, wont be doing it again. But from what I understand we do not have the Microsoft servers in South Africa which Titanfall uses so it doesn't seem like we can even get local servers unless Microsoft invest a lot of cash into setting up servers in SA, but again, this is just my understand.

We have 13 Servers for Crysis 3. With launch we had 35 local servers. Igame/Telkom/Mweb servers. All the Igame servers are still on and I play Crysis 3 on a daily basis.

Well I play Crysis 3 on a daily basis. Igame Servers ping of 45 - 80. Own each match (47-7 / 35 - 3 / ect) KD of 3 - 4 most of the time. Then just to make it fair I go play on some internasional server with ping between 200 - 300 and still on the match (37 - 4/ 25 - 1 ect.). Have the video's to prove it. So anyone who cant play with ping above 150 is simply just not good enough. No Offence, but if u are skilled u can play on high'ish ping and still be the top dog.

/cue Bf4 forum talk

But what about the "lag advantage" that high latency players get huh?

FFS, I'm tired of getting that shit thrown around.

I've had that from players when playing on international servers. When you start outplaying them they start whining how you having higher latency gives you the advantage - some people are never happy.

Ja, being on console I always play on international servers, this gets thrown around a LOT!
 
If you registered for the Titanfall PC Beta prior to 4pm PST on Saturday, February 15th, you have been granted access to the Beta. Users will start seeing the Beta appear in their 'My Games Library' in Origin over the next several hours. We’re getting more people into the PC Beta so we can stress servers in preparation for launch on March 11th.
