Heard great things about the game, never played it though.

  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.

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

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

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

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

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.

The best tip is to focus on killing ai in the Attrition mode, and stay near teammates. But the wave defense mode is fun too, as you level titans they get overpowered upgrades which would be too unbalanced in versus mode.

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

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.

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.

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

Do you need to have played the first one for the campaign to make sense?

First one didn’t have a campaign. It was online multilayer only.

And the “sequel” to this one is Apex Legends.

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.

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.

I bought the game. Then immediately pirated it so I wouldn’t have to install this EA crap.

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

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

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