  1. This game is easily worth full price for the single player alone. You'd be an idiot not to pick it up for $3

  2. The multiplayer is back, like really back, and it slaps just as hard as ever. This is, genuinely, one of my main multiplayer games right now. The fight to the extraction on a loss is one of the most cinematic moments you'll ever get in a PvP gamemode.

Believe the hype on this one.

Well I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let some Internet rando think I’m an idiot.

Too late! 😁

Multiplayer actually working? Been having to use a mod to play, but it's been a while

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago

Servers are back up. No mods needed, you can just log in and play.

[–] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 9 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Multiplayer is amazing, but everyone seems to be way beyond my skill set at this point

[–] Player2@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

If you can finish the campaign on Master, you'll be pretty decent in multiplayer too in short order. Also can recommend Frontier Defense, it's a multiplayer co-op mode that reinforces good multiplayer skills and allows you to get used to the maps

[–] hobbsc@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 9 months ago

This was my experience on the Xbox. Absolutely loved the campaign. Could not get a feel for how to survive mp after a few hours. There was a prolonged respawn and die nearly immediately loop. I uninstalled it after I got what I could from the campaign.

Apparently there are 9000 people playing on steam right now. That's not bad!

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

Yeah, player counts have been healthy for the last year. I've never had to queue more than a few seconds for a game in any mode.

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

The game is absolutely amazing. I bought it for 5 dollars. I suddenly couldn't play it anymore because you still have to deal with some ea bullshit and even refunded these 5 dollars. Game is a 10/10 ea is a 0/10

Worth it for the campaign alone at 5x that price. I got the game with no expectations years ago and was very impressed.

[–] xpinchx@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Agreed it's easily one of my favorite single player campaigns.

Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: EA on-line activation and Origin client software installation and background use required

Requires 3rd-Party Account: EA Account (Supports Linking to Steam Account)

Seems like another cursed EA game with built-in spyware.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 9 months ago

You forgot to quote the part where you have to be online for the single player campaign, as well.

It's a fantastic (though kind of short) campaign, though. Spend the $3, enjoy it a time or two, then Uninstall all the shit.

actually a masterpiece of a game, the campaign is so unbelievably worth it, just keep in mind the vanilla multiplayer is unplayable due to ddosing. if you want to play multiplayer, look into the northstar client

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Multiplayer was fixed like a year ago, I had 5 great matches last night with maybe a bit of lag on some guys, but that's normal for vidja gamez

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah, multiplayer works perfectly out of the box now, no more need for Northstar.

[–] Yokozuna@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I always wondered why the servers were shit. Why are people even doing that to a game server....

AFAIK the ddosing was solved/stopped a while who, the multiplayer works great now

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I want a third one more than most any other game. 2 was just so fun

[–] Prox@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Yeah, we won't get one as long as whales keep dumping cash into Apex Legends cosmetics.

[–] jayk@lemmy.ca 19 points 10 months ago (3 children)

still not worth installing origin

[–] _pete_@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It’s EA Play now, which is actually somehow worse than Origin was.

Still, Titanfall 2 is actually a great game (probably my favourite of the PS4 era) and is well worth a little suffering for.

[–] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

For some reason I often have games disappearing from my library, like they don't even show up as purchased in the store..

And I also recently got a notification on top of my library that some games have been removed from my library, but that I can download them again if I go to the store page. It's really confusing as to why they are 'deleted' and why they can't just show up in my library.

I hate these dumb 'user experience' developments where companies are deciding what I should see in my library. I just want to see all my purchases, and have them available to me whenever I want.

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

What the deal with EA Play? I see their subscription prices and I'm not doing that. Then below that I see the game for $3.99 CAD. Can I just get the game that way and not deal with any extra EA stuff?

[–] _pete_@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I don't know for sure in this case but some EA games require you to use EA Play as a launcher, even if you buy the game through Steam.

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

Ah, that makes my decision easier. Thanks for the info!

This is what stops me from picking it up each time I see it drop this low.

Is there a way to play this without installing EA spyware?

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

I imagine you can avoid the EA shit if you pirate it.

Very linear campaign, but an excellent game. I recommend playing it, but can't recommend the EA crap.

[–] caut_R@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

It‘s a fantastic fps.

[–] grandma@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 months ago (5 children)

Do I have to install EA bullshit to play the campaign?

This game is really great and its length make it enjoyable many times.

I played 2 years ago when I was still on PlayStation 4 and it looked great.

The soundtrack is also great to listen to.

One of my favorite FOS of the last decade with the killzone and wolfenstein series.

[–] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Man, I really should give this game another try. I remember getting it at launch, but completely forgot about it because of other game releases at the time.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 6 points 10 months ago

Campaign's mind-blowing

[–] Tedrow@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

You can run through the campaign in a few hours, so there's very little time investment. Give it a shot!

[–] jecht360@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Is this worth it on Xbox One? A used copy is pretty cheap at GameStop. Wouldn't want it on PC due to EA junk.

[–] northendtrooper@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months ago

The campaign narrative alone is worth that price.

[–] majestictechie@lemmy.fosshost.com 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Bought this last night. Gonna play it tonight for the first time
