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

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

[-] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Player2@lemm.ee 7 points 3 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

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 3 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.

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 3 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 3 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 3 months ago

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

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

[-] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

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

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

[-] Prox@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

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

[-] jayk@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 months ago

still not worth installing origin

[-] _pete_@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

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 3 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 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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 3 months ago

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 3 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 3 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 3 months ago

It‘s a fantastic fps.

[-] Mwa@thelemmy.club 6 points 3 months ago

Do I need to play the original game before 2

[-] Charzard4261@programming.dev 13 points 3 months ago

Nope! Just jump right into 2's single player mode and enjoy the ride.

[-] Mwa@thelemmy.club 3 points 3 months ago

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.
