Just got my copy today. Add me on Origin - PXLFNK

BTW, the process of installing and updating is killing me. Install > Unpack 39GB worth of audio > update 70Mb > UNPACK 39GB OF AUDIO AGAIN. Don't know if there's another update waiting down the line. Haven't accounted for the time i need to update graphic drivers...

To prove how long the install took:

I resumed that update from 3GB all the way to finish, Titanfall still unpacking audio. Much wait. Such pain.

Guys, i got the dreaded "Data Center: Searching" problem. I tried pinging the Azure network, ping hovers around 80-100ms. However i cant connect at all in the game. Connected using my uni's internet connection through LAN, i dont think Origin is blocked because i could log in/update just fine. Any solutions?

Origin(EA) =/= Azure network (Microsoft).

very likely its been block by the uni's network. can you use xbox in the uni?

I understand that they are two different things, and this game basically lives on the Azure network. I tried pinging the Azure networks here and got good ping with my current connection. If i was able to get a response there, shouldn't i get a response in the game as well?

Or is my theory here deeply flawed? In which case i am f***ed upside down

is it a university limited certain ports thingy? my campus does it, but that's just my guess.

hmm. back when i played the beta at home, i didnt have to forward any ports on my router. My PC wasn't in DMZ mode too, still can connect. I have a last resort - iPhone hotspot - but really dont feel like using it now. Using that connecction, ping is acceptable back in the beta but deaths from rubberbanding did occur.

not flawed just not deep enough smile.gif pinging a site via a webpage is different from game ping which uses specific ports. that port maybe blocked.
this is because your home router may have UPnP (this is on by default by most new routers). this will auto route the game traffic to your home pc.

Thank you for your kind reply. I have to agree, its the ports being blocked. Don't know any workarounds i can do on my own or any IT admins around here to unblock it so i guess i have to give up this connection in order to play. Will use my hotspot then

See you guys in game (hopefully)!

EDIT: shykull ur playing on PC or XB1? And happy birthday btw!

why does everyone like playing attrition? its so difficult to find other game modes

Noob-friendly i guess?
Reminds me of conquest mode in BF3. Even if you can't shoot at anything that moves, PTFO and you can still win. In Attrition, just keep farming them grunts. I do that in beta and almost always stay on #2 or 3 in the scoreboard.
Disclaimer: i am one of those noobs.

In other news, i heard you can almost replicate the famous MP5+steady aim combo from COD4 in Titanfall. True?
