The free period will kick off for EA Access / Origin Access members on 30th November (tomorrow) and for everybody else on 2nd December.
According to Eurogamer, there's no date set for when it will end.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, is this free play days or the ability to play multiplayer without an active live/PSN sub if you own the game already?

It's a perfectly normal question mate, to which I don't have the answer to at the moment :grin:
But I'd assume with it also being on PC (Origin/Origin Access) that it won't require a PSN/XBL sub. As soon as I see anything, I'll give you a poke :smile:

battlefield 1 beta required Xbox live to play so I would guess you do need Xbox live to play it

Can I download this and have it ready to play. If I can only download it when the trial starts it will of ended by the time I've installed it with the speed of my broadband. Lol.

Try before you buy if you must, but take my word for it - the game is stunning. Easily in my top 3 online shooters ever, and has a fantastic campaign too.

Thanks buzz. I really enjoyed titanfall one and am curious as to whether this game will suit me. Free weekend.... Sweet.... Thanks a lot

This is a great opportunity to get this out there. It's such an underrated game by the public and perhaps overlooked. They should do a digital deal where when this ends you can buy for £20 or something digitally. Pay day is here for many this week.

hope it comes to ps4 for freeplay. want to try it before i buy!
That ** isn't actually anywhere in the text but I suspect it should come after this
Those looking to continue this action into the full game will have all their multiplayer progress carryover[**], in addition to getting their hands-on what Entertainment Weekly calls, “one of the best single-player campaigns of the year.”

That's a pretttty strong recommendation :). I'll definitely check it out, though I've found that I've preferred the (generally) slower paced shooters like battlefield and R6 Siege.

Awaiting my copy from gameseek (my xmas present) seems they are rubbish with deliveries! - will play this to get some practice in! :stuck_out_tongue:
The trial ends on Sunday 4th December. - Not sure what time though!
Shame they messed up Titanfall 2 and Titanfall 1 is far superior.

If that's the case then why did Titanfall 1 die out in less than a month?

TF2 has done the same - after being out 4 weeks it was already down to £20. Struggling sales I'd say.

It did? Weird that I hit G10, got all achievements for played 50 of X game type and can still play it after 2 1/2 years on and off play.

That is more than enough for a game this old. It was such a myth that titanfall died one month after launch, you clearly do not know what you are talking about.

Titanfall 2 is far better than Titanfall 1 and it will last for much longer. A few thousand playing the game means the game is nearly dead. Obviously, its not a very old game and you will have a few thousand players playing the game anyway.
The Titanfall 2 creates a bond between the robots and the character and thats what makes it shine :smile:

Sorry but I disagree, after two god awful technical tests Titanfall 2 is unfortunately dead for me. They catered to the people who didn't like the first game and forgot the fans.

So, what is that something that you are missing from the new Titanfall 2 that was in the original?
SDLiam
30 Nov 16#30
I preferred picking a Titan Chassis and then having a custom laodout instead of "named" titans
In TF you could wall hang without having to pick the ice pick
The burn card system was much better
The Rodeo system in TF1 was much better, without all the battery nonsense
Titan core abilities are now more like ultimates
TTK is shorter meaning being aerial is much more risky and I feel TF" no longer rewards the twitch gamer but now offers benefits to campers.
That is to name a few, the game is completely different from the first and I think it is a shame.

I have been playing Titanfall 2 and I have to say I'm impressed. Its like this is how COD should have evolved into so I'd be surprised if Titanfall 1 was better. Titanfall 2 is basically a badass simulator. Very nice gameplay and I can see myself playing this for a while.

Hi All. With the download, can I play the free demo when it hits 17gb or do I have to wait for all days. I.e. Will "all data" be required for me to play this weekend? Cheers

Yes that seems to be the case Mine is now downloading 'All Data' which is 37.452 GB Surely it should've said it would be that size to begin with
Hmmm perhaps it means to get started and play campaign you only need 17gb but for full multiplayer you'll need 37gb or vice versa
Either way. I think we can play the game at 17gb with reduced functionality. If not the 17gb to start makes 0 sense

Man this game is so good. Everything feels so satisfying to use especially the titans. Honestly this game isn't just my favorite shooter this year, it isn't just my game of the year but its also one of the best games i've ever played. Its basically a badass simulator. Seriously if anyone is on the fence about buying it just buy it, its worth every penny.

Free demo button kept disappearing for me for some reason - but finally got it to register and is downloading for me now :smile:

Sorry me again. Multiplayer mode says Launch but when I click it does nothing.
Install progress is at 70% of 37gb. Do I have to wait until 100% to start multiplayer mode
Thanks in advance
