Update: Titanfall Beta Servers Attacked

UPDATE: It looks like the Titanfall beta servers have also been hit by the group. Several Gamesided readers have informed us that they can no longer access the beta.

It appears as though the notorious hacker group has set its site on one of the biggest upcoming gaming releases.

As of this posting, the group has taken down Titanfall.com. It is unknown currently if the Titanfall beta has been impacted by the website being taken offline, but the group is also saying that it is only the beginning of their plans. What that exactly means is uncertain, but Gamesided will follow the situation as it develops.

Really? Are these hackers so sad that they have to pass on their misery to everyone?

Evil never prevails, however. Its wickedness only last but for a time.

You really can't have a life to do something like that.. still funny as hell tho.

No its really not funny though. It's tired , it's pathetic, and it's just corny.

TGF_Zero3710d ago

Please explain how this is funny

TomShoe3710d ago

Annoying, but that Gaben Laser Beam™ has some serious power.

morganfell3710d ago (Edited 3710d ago )

I am not a fan of Titanfall but I am a fan of gaming and this is in no way funny or humorous. This sort of action is despicable. I won't say pathetic as that in some manner indicates a degree of sympathy for these hackers. I have none.

When you resort to attacking game servers it is obvious your life has no purpose as you occupy needed space in this world - the space, the vaccuum left by their absence is more important than they.

Hellsvacancy3710d ago (Edited 3710d ago )

Yeah I don't agree that it's funny, I couldn't care less about MS or Titanfall

Trolling is one thing, but taking down servers stopping people from enjoying what they enjoy is just wrong "I don't approve that kind of behaviour"

mhunterjr3710d ago

What kind of gamer would see humor in a game being ruined by hackers?

redwin3710d ago

I don't think it is funny but I'm glad it happened now so they can take action to keep that from happening again. Btw, isn't TitanFall using EA servers, not MS's?

"Evil never prevails, however"

Actually, yes. Yes it does. A lot. Good things, heck great things, happen to very bad people. And horrible things happen to good people. Cruel and vile human beings can live long, happy lives while inflicting suffering on all around them. But we often conveniently ignore these stories because they somewhat diminish the idea of hope and the long held belief that good will always triumph.

mediate-this3710d ago

Maybe in the short instance you may think evil prevails, but when you looking at it hindsight how ever long it takes you to get caught while sitting in your jail cell, you will say evil never prevails.

Mystogan3710d ago

No it doesn't, Ever!
eventually you have to pay for your evil crimes. Maybe not in the way you might see it. But you'll definitely pay.

Maybe you think they got away with it but truth is they're probably dying inside.

Volkama3710d ago

So true. Whenever someone says "Karma"... it isn't. Karma isn't a thing, people don't get their dues. Vast majority of the time the douches get ahead, and that's the end of the story.

However in this case the douches aren't getting ahead. Perhaps they get a weird sense of satisfaction from what they're doing, but that's about all they have achieved.

These hackers need to get lives. What exactly is the purpose of attacking videogames? What kind of loser do you have to be to do this? I don't get it, I really don't.

These guys are great

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad585d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g584d ago (Edited 584d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

An ode to Titanfall: The last twitch shooter I'll probably ever enjoy

Windows Central: "Titanfall 1 is being sunset, taken off storefronts by EA. While the servers remain live for now, one has to wonder just how much time it has left. I look back and pay tribute to the last "twitch"-styled shooter I ever truly loved."

Respawn Entertainment is Discontinuing Sales of Original Titanfall

Sales for the original Titanfall are being discontinued.
It will be pulled from subscription services on March 1, 2022.

Physical media. Unfortunately the way games are going these days game servers will eventually be shut down and you can stare at the menu and wish you could play the game again.

littletad865d ago

This is why reading is so important. Nothing to do with digital or physical media. The game, which is online only, is being delisted because of DDOS and other hacker attacks. The case got so bad that only six players in the world log on. For PC. Rather than fix it, they continued to sell the game, broken as it is, and only now just decided to call it quits. But please, go on thinking what you will.

Ethereal863d ago

I'm aware of the DDOS attacks and that this case is not typical. This game would eventually have it's servers shutdown regardless of the current situation so that is a moot point. My comment was in a general sense and that there are instances in which games can be preserved physically when official support ends.

Let's recap your first sentence. I said, "the way GAMES are going these days" indicating a broader stroke than just this game. I agree, reading IS important. I was simply stating the obvious downsides of the digital marketplaces and online only trends in games these days. I could even make the argument that the online only offering which has allowed hacker manipulation has impacted the preservation of this great game. My comment is valid in the general sense and thank you for your permission to continue to think what I will.
