Wow, same here.
My connection is also 50 and i was seeing the same speeds you were, up to 30MBps download when i preloaded a few days ago.
Ordered at 11:05 tonight. 50GB preload finished in 15 minutes. Have no idea how that happened. I only pay for 50mbps from Comcast, but the download rate was hovering between 30MBps and 50 MBps most of the time. Fastest I have seen anything download on my home network.
What gamer has this problem, legitimately?
Terabyte drives have been around for a long time now. And my desktop, with it's 150+ GB of media and half a dozen games along with all the other programs on it are doing just fine.
Titanfall takes up just under 5% of a 1 TB HDD. Like I said earlier, it's picking nits. If you chose to just run with an SSD, you knew what you were getting into, complaining shines more on your lack of foresight than anything else in that situation.
I just don't see it as a valid complaint, at all. Your argument did nothing to convince me.
Servers are hosed.
Played a couple rounds this evening. All I could think during the whole experience was "This is it? Really?" Not to shit all over Titanfall, but it is mediocre at best. Maps are small. Graphics are . . . ok? Gameplay is interesting but nothing game changing.
Seriously WTF did EA give all those reviewers? Must have been some good shit.
Anyway, consider me disappointed.
Edit - 50GB - almost 35 of which is audio and it shows. 15 GB of meh graphics coupled with clunky controls.
It's a fun silly fast shooter tied to a god-awful engine.
It both gives me hope for Titanfall 2 as well as makes me SMH at the hype-machine on this one. Particularly annoying is the fact that Frostbite exists as it does. Anyway, if Titanfall 2 comes out on DX12 with a new Frostbite revision and deeper gameplay (12v12 with bigger maps and maybe 1x super-titan per team?) it could really grow into something incredible.
Hell look at BF1942 to BF2 for example. 1942 was fun, but the leap forward in BF2 was insane.
But yeah. Damn. Source looks like dogcrap for 2014.

Same here. Plus I played the beta, and saw absolutely nothing to get excited over.This is why I didn't preorder. Waiting for the release night hype to wear off and get real user reviews.
With all the videos, information, and even a beta to play before there is no excuse for buying it and being disappointed. You have so much info and such out there on the internet these days, especially about this game. It is mostly your fault for not doing research.
As for the engine i think source can look good. No it isn't cryengine but it is so refined these days that the netcode is very mature and it can run on almost anything.
The video game industry's white knight to the rescue!
REJOICE!
Some of us are picky.He's got a point tbf. Gamers find so much to moan about these days it's getting ridiculous
I bought this game last night , installed and pre loaded it
49.9gb still amazes me , must be a hell of a lot of cut scenes
I admit that I've been caught up in the hype but it really does look like this is going to be a huge game
Can't wait to play it
im pretty sure the audio are from having all the languages inside... and i hope that i can change it to english cause it downloaded in spanish :S
Titanfall has a 48GB install on PC due to the demands of its uncompressed audio, Respawn has revealed.
Speaking to Eurogamer, lead engineer Richard Baker explained that the data takes up so much more space on PC as it's designed to work with lower end machines. In contrast, the Xbox One version of the game is roughly 17GB as there's audio decode built into the hardware.
"Yeah, basically when you download the game or the disc itself, it's a lot smaller than that," Baker explained. "We have audio we either download or install from the disc, then we uncompress it. We probably could have had audio decompress off disc but we were a little worried about min spec and the fact that a two-core machine would dedicate a huge chunk of one core to just decompressing audio.
"So... it's almost all audio... On a higher PC it wouldn't be an issue. On a medium or moderate PC, it wouldn't be an issue, it's that on a two-core [machine] with where our min spec is, we couldn't dedicate those resources to audio," he concluded.
This also explains why Titanfall's minimum specs are so light.
Ugh, played a few rounds last night, the 6v6 is a big factor for me. A bunch of co-workers formed a group and I was a last man out stuck to be in a pub. Well, my group got worked over by people who either got review copies or used a vpn as they were all level 10+. Not fun at all. At least with BF4 the teams were big enough that you could squad hop. I'll give it another go, but it is not looking so good. The beta was like this for me, but my co-workers really liked it so I caved in. I went back to BF4 and Stick of Truth and had a better experience.
