This should be an interesting poll. I believe a PC network might be getting started here, and I made a PS4 community here. I do understand the worry that the PC community might dry up rather quickly, though. At this point, I'm wondering if it'll be more of a self-fulfilling prophesy than anything else. It's a shame, too, as it seems like that would be the best way to play, provided you have the hardware and the game retains its community.

I just built a new pc but I was also worried if the community would be there, that and I prefer using a controller over mousepad & keyboard, so I'm not sure were to play it, pc or ps4.

There are already verified networks up on PS4 and Xbox One. I'll probably end up having the buy the PC version to create one there, now that I think about it.

Oh, if anyone wants to figure out when the best happy hour times are for those networks, let me know and I'll set them accordingly.

What is it with otherwise great multiplayer games becoming graveyards on PC within days? e.g. Gears 4, Titanfall, Battlefront, etc. Is everyone just too invested in other titles?

Interesting that so far Xbox is the choice farthest behind. I wonder if it's because PS4 owners are more excited about getting this installment on their platform, or if it'll level out with more people voting.

I always thing graveyards is a bit extreme. It may not be millions of players but i've never struggled to find players on most modes in the original even now.

I'm on Xbox One. It looks like it will be the platform with the least people... I'm still not 100% sold on this game even though I have it preloaded. I want it to be great, but the beta put some doubt in me. The 1st Titanfall is the best multiplayer game on the Xbox One. It deserved better.

The thing about this is there were already more than 5000 people in the official Giant Bomb network with just the tech test going on. Not only was the official network featured in an early gameplay preview video on this site and on You Tube, but it gained traction quickly because of that, and I'm convinced a lot of random people joined just because "Giant Bomb" sounds like a cool name.

At least one person on this forum mentioned that when they played with others in that Network, it was no different than joining a game of random players. That's why I thought we should have a separate PS4 community to go along with the network, so we can easily get together with a smaller group of forum members. That, and PS4 communities offer some nice features that Networks do not.

Depending on the opinion of the community, we can either end the separation there--still being part of the [BOMB] Network--or we could start a smaller Network for the Giant Bomb Titanfall 2 community. Perhaps simply [GBTF], but I'm not picky, and I'm fine going along with what others decide. I just don't want want to be parked in the Itchy Lot, when it comes to belonging to a group of Titanfall 2 players, and a Network of over 5000 people without a smaller PS4 community subset would be just that.

Then again, if they keep the tech test Networks but reset the member lists, perhaps this won't be an issue. I guess we'll have to see.

I was about to make a thread basically about this same thing. I bought the original Titanfall day one on PC and played it for a month or so nonstop. Put it down for a few weeks, came back when the first map pack came out, and it was impossible to get a game going. I ended up buying an Xbox copy because the community was still pretty active on there. Apparently it got better eventually when they released all the DLC for free. But that problem while on the Xbox too seemed to be way less impactful.

Ideally I'd want to play a FPS on PC, but I'm really worried about this happening again, so I'm considering PS4. Common sense would tell me to wait and see how it pans out, but I know that common sense will be trumped by desire.

The Networks feature is live on titanfall.com. I was able to join the Xbox GB group.

How many people are in that group now?

@spaceinsomniac: 8 in the Xbox group, 8000+ in the PS4 group.

Edit: correction - 8000 in Xbox, 9000 in PS4.

In Europe at least I never once had an issue finding a game, at least not in Attrition. I'm more worried about the PC version in general, since apparently nobody has had access to it yet? Titanfall 1 was excellent on PC, but I'll definitely wait for reports on the quality of the port, you can never know.

I played the first game on Xbox, but I've got a Pro on the way so I think I'll go PS4 this time around. I was briefly tempted by the PC version, but I wouldn't be surprised if the player base dries up fast and I think I'd rather play it with a controller in front of my TV.

veering between ps4 and pc, as a friend of mine might be playing it on ps4. but if i could join up with duders either way it will be cool. just afraid the pc version community may die off.

Also afraid of the PC community dying off too quickly but I'm still going to be playing it there.

@dharmabum: are you sure? I joined a giant bomb network that said it had over 8000 members and was created by Giantbombing (Xbox)

Xbox One because all my friends are there.

@huntad: Whoops, you're right. Not sure what I was looking at. The website is acting a little bit wonky for me when I try to join, but I think I'm in.

Playing on PC, got to put my new rig to good use.

PS4. My current PC was able to run the first but I serious doubt it will run the second. I did put a bunch of hours into the 360 version so i'll go PS4 this time.

Seems like a perfect console game to me so PS4 it is.

I tend to play what I deem console FPS's (ADS centric) on the Xbox since I still think that controller feels better for those kinds of games.

They dont play enough like MOBA's. ;p

PS4 for me. Hopefully I can get to experience Titanfall for the first time with some of you fine folks.

Edit: Haha. And as it turns out, Giant Bomb is currently in the featured networks, front and center(-left).

@dharmabum: Those are all console focused shooters that for the most part don't have the feature set PC users look for.

EDIT: They're also games not available on Steam.

@ivdamke: It seems like a good core gameplay loop should suffice for a game to develop a community. I think Gears and Titanfall both meet that criteria easily. But apparently they can't compete with the likes of CS:GO, Overwatch, Dota, League, etc.

@dharmabum: The core gameplay loop of Gears and Titanfall is built on the expected use of a gamepad. That causes trickle down changes into a lot of the games systems that a lot of PC users dislike. Naturally this creates a gameplay loop that isn't considered good by a lot of PC folk. Also it's not enough because most PC users say "That game looks cool, oh it's on Origin/Uplay/MS Store? Guess I won't get it then."

I would love to pick this up for pc but as others have mentioned I am worried that the player base will not sustain for the game, so I am leaning towards ps4.

Alright. So it would seem that most people are as wary as I am about the player base on PC being kind of shaky. I am starting to lean more and more toward PS4 because of the Digital Foundry analysis of that version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pH3RVxs92E - This is also compounded by the poll results so far, and one of my best game playing buddies will definitely not be playing this on his laptop if I can convince him to buy it. It's tough for me, because I play most FPS games on a PC. I'm accustomed to the keyboard and mouse. I've got all my DPI settings down pat and an elite mousing surface (lol). The last FPS I played on console was Destiny. I didn't play very much of the competitive multiplayer mainly because it was kind of terrible. The last serious competitive multiplayer game I played was Halo 3. This was well before I played any sort of FPS on the PC. I noticed most people in this forum saying they want to play it on their TV. For me, this doesn't matter. I've got the same exact setup for my PC games as I do my console games. I just grab the controller and go. Everything is hooked up to the same screen. I haven't been this conflicted about a game in a long ass time.

I bought the PS4 version because I suck with mouse & keyboard and want to be competitive in the multiplayer. I did OK with a controller on PC on the first Titanfall but I was usually ranked towards the bottom. During the Alpha on PS4 I was normally towards the top of the list so that pretty much sold me.

got it on pc, hope i didn't make a mistake. but i don't technically own a ps4, the one that's in my vicinity isn't really accessible at all times. guess i can always get it on console when it drops in price.

I haven't decided yet, but I'm leaning XBox. I could never get the hang of Titanfall 1's movement using a keyboard so PC is out. The PS4 version is probably fine, but man, that XBox controller is real nice you guys.

@darth_navster: I find it really difficult going back to the PS4 controller after using the Xbox elite controller.

I am loving this game. Glad to be playing on my PS4.

Placed my order for PS4 copy yesterday. I'm really only in it for the single player at this point.

Just picked up a GTX1080 as well.. Still got it on PS4 though. Feel like I just prefer the ecosystem of a console and my big TV vs hunched over my 21:9 monitor and dealing with PC issues.

I too share the worry about the PC community disappearing sooner than I'd like. Plus Titanfall feels like a controller game to me, and playing against peeps with M&K is never fun when you're using a controller. Between PS4 and Xbox... I mean... I've got that fancy Elite Controller. It's real nice.

I ended up going PC rather than picking it up when I get a PS4 around 11/10. This game is a test to see if my Phenom II can still work. It's never failed me now, but if this game doesn't run well, I finally have at least some justification to upgrade to an i5 build.

So how does the player count look on the PC? There are report of it being pretty low for a triple A game like this.

Having just bought Battlefield and Civ 6 I'm really hoping the PC community stays active another month when my wallet recovers.

@toysoldier83: I think on Friday pc was at about 11-13k at its peak, Xbox was 38k and ps4 was around 24k

I'm torn between the One that I just bought and have hooked up and the ps4 where I played the beta and haven't hooked up yet due to moving around stuff.

@jiggajoe14: If it matters to you personally, the PS4 version has a slight edge on resolution over the XBONE version, but the XBONE version has slightly better framerate across the board.

Both versions are pretty much locked 60 at all times though.

PS4 and it feels perfectly fine, shooting is super accurate and satisfying.
