Titanfall Matchmaking Update

Last week we reported that Titanfall developer Respawn had been listening to recent player feedback, and released a beta playlist for Attrition called Improved Matchmaking.

Matchmaking on this game takes longer than it does on BF4. We wait 90(?) seconds in the lobby, then more waiting for the game to load. It's not a big gripe, just a tad annoying spending so much time in lobbies and loading screens.

Belasco3673d ago

I agree, the wait is super long. I am actually able to go to the bathroom and get back in time for the match to start.

Palitera3673d ago (Edited 3673d ago )

Play for 5-7 minutes, wait for 3-4.

Not good at all.

Convas3673d ago

I kind of like the intermissions because you have time to restock your Burn Cards and maybe make edits to your losing or winning Pilot and/or Titan loadouts.

But those load times are sucky.

I dunno how to accurately describe my feels on the issue.

GarrusVakarian3673d ago

Yeah, i like having some time in-between matches to change load outs, sift through burn-cards etc, but 90 seconds a little too long imo.

georgeenoob3673d ago (Edited 3673d ago )

Are you talking about that beta playlist or just plain old Attrition? Cause it literally takes me a few seconds when selecting attrition, but when selecting that improved matchmaking option it's longer. I guess it doesn't matter anyway since they're implementing the post-beta playlist in attrition anyway. I do agree that loading screens take too long.

@Pallitera

Dude, it takes me a few seconds to find a game. If you're talking about waiting in the lobby they give you 90 seconds, and each match is longer than it was at launch after a recent update. Now that they implemented improved matchmaking it might take a little longer, but it's for the better.

GarrusVakarian3673d ago

I dunno, i just turn the game on and choose Attrition, lol. I didn't even know i could choose the beta matchmaking option. But im guessing it must be the beta matchmaking because it takes a while.

The load times and the wait in the lobby in-between matches are my biggest gripes. But they aren't deal breakers, just gotta have a little patience lol. It only bothers me because i wanna hurry up and get straight back into the action, lo.

ma1asiah3673d ago

Hey bud you do realise that you can go do something else and the game will notify you when a game is found or ready to play. You are not forced to stay waiting in the lobby like past generations.

GarrusVakarian3673d ago (Edited 3673d ago )

I don't know about other people, but i don't have something to do in-between each and every match, lol. I just wanna hurry up and get back into the action. It spends way too much time in the lobby, checking out your burn cards and load outs takes no longer than 20 seconds.

Matchmaking is for the classic Attrition and Hardpoint playlists now.

It used to be just matchmaking beta@ Attrition.

I played it a couple of times. Attrition is not a playlist i play your team can lose based on kills against bots.

I prefer pilothunter or hardpoint, better game modes.

Iluvtrim3673d ago

Well with adding new burn cards to ur slots and updating ur weapons for pilot and Titan, as well as checking regen requirements after each ge I actually don't mind the wait between matches.

ZombieDust3673d ago

Im fine with lobby times if they make the games longer... Usually games are over in like 5 minutes.

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.

MadLad592d ago

Lol

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

Venoxn4g591d ago (Edited 591d 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."

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.

littletad872d 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.

Ethereal870d 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.
