   I didn't.. I was going to, but then just forgot about it.. Been told by a few people it's a decent game, although i'll wait until one of my mates buys it lolol

   I wasn't even planning to but I saw so many people talking about how good it was I thought I'd give it a go when it showed up on the homescreen.
   
   Gameplay is so fluent though, I'll definitely be trading Ghosts in for it.

   Gunplay was too similar to COD for me. Fun running about parkour style though, and fighting in mechs is decent. I just dont know if - for me anyway - itll have the legs to keep my interest. And the jump kick is ridiculous, guys sprinting about booting folk for a one-hit kill; smacks too much of Commando Pro on COD.
   
   I got the beta invite accepted, so should be able to preview all dash updates from now

   You a battlefield guy? Haven't really played it. Was the movement I loved in Titanfall.
   
   Your update came through yet?

    On another related note, the price of the Xbox is being reduced inline with the PS4 pricing and also contains the Titanfall game.

    Yeah got it yesterday barely had a look yet.
    
    Settings still keep changing to 7.1 surround sound when I open netflix though
    
    Noticed a new setting to turn off hand gestures when watching video which I'm glad to see
    
    Pretty sure they've just made it harder to see achievements

    hate agreeing with those who said its cod, with parkour and mechs but.... well, it is. The gunplay is very cod with the exact same feel.

    Full IGN review online: http://uk.ign.com/videos/2014/03/12/titanfall-review
    
    Dare I say it looks quite Halo style with it being futuristic, harder to kill and frantic?
    
    The IGN review highlights some pretty glaring omissions that may come with updates. Seems weird as fuck to launch a multiplayer game without party mode, map voting etc...
    
    One ill keep my eye on!

    Hmm thats not good, in halo a beat down was never an insta kill, it may have knocked shields off but in itself was only a kill if from behind for an assassination. It at least gave you the chance to back off with an assault rifle or head shoting a BR/pistol and a chance to still live.
    
    I miss Halo.
