I would be very surprised if they weren't hiring lol



Titanfall beta had 2 million players

And the game will be better at launch because of it.

 

Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall beta last week started with a limited number of players who were lucky enough to get in. On Saturday night, Feb. 15, Respawn opened the beta to all players on Xbox One and later all PC players as well.

 

By the time the Titanfall beta ended on Feb. 19, around 2 million people played the game, Respawn’s community manager Abbie Heppe told Polygon.

 

Though it had a clear promotional benefit, Respawn engineer Jon Shiring said that the Titanfall beta was also an important test for Xbox Live compute, Microsoft’s cloud computing technology. “Forza used it a little bit, but they weren't as reliant on it as we are,” he told Polygon. “The game is completely reliant on it. If it's down, nobody can play."

 

Shiring said that while Respawn may still find more problems at launch, the beta helped them find 10 “real things” that they worked on and fixed.

 

One result of the beta that Respawn probably didn’t plan for is that it would lead to a leak about Titanfall. By looking into the beta files, savvy data miners managed to unearth the names of 14 potential maps that could feature in the full game.

That's a lot of beta testers and a lot of potential sales.

Is there a way to customize your dashboard on X1 or does it have to stay on the black background?



I do wanna point out though that the PC beta wasn't open to everyone, just the ones that signed up by the 15th. X1 beta was the open version.



2 million.....awesome!!!

I have a 10 and 5 year old. We would take turns switching between profiles on the One each match because they loved playing the game.

Funny thing is, for games like hardpoint they were always top 2-3 because they would actually take and guard the hardpoints rather than trying to maximize kills.

Then when the Titan was ready they would run out, hop in, and do really well....AHH Titans you great equalizer you....

I love this game!

Please release Lost Odyssey 2 for XBox One.

It was one of the first titles I purchased for my 360 and is still one of my all time favorites.....🙏.


If they announce LO2, I'll be buying an X1 for sure. LO was a gem!



If they're working with Mistwalker again that's a damn fine choice.
