UWE, need some fresh newbie blood. Haven't seen multiple robot factories for a long time. C'mon!

    Wait until @AceDude completes the new balanced team joining ranking system which should go a long way to providing more balanced teams in pub play. Nothing is a greater turn-off for newbies than the stacking (intentional or not -- 'Randomize teams' is hardly better) that happens frequently in pub games at the moment.

    I would say lets also wait until they fix some horrid stuff they patched in last time.
    And hope they dont ruin more in the new patch.

    heh in uwe style they probably combine rookie weekend with another bigger patch so forums will once more be flooded with people complaining stuff does not work, because.. it does not work. :P

    I figure they've probably learned from their mistakes though...

    Answer me this though: how much control does UWE have over when Steam does sales? Total, none, or something in-between?

    so far I know, and feel free to correct me, its in-between.

    They can set discounts/deals as of Feburary, as Steam updated their Partner Steamworks thingy.

    Fix exo , call it Titan update. Use Titanfall popularity, post on steam news and discounts, they get few bucks for sure, and new players.

    Call it the "FPS revolution patch". Now with jump packs, wall-running and mechs. Redefining the genre!!! Believe the hype!

    I don't think that is legal, but maybe if they write TITAN update in BIG and I mean really BIG letters will in game page will bring attention is steam, Cuz titanfall is not on steam :)

    It's still sad to me when I see the half broken, half finished state this game was left in, like a discarded toy of a moody child. It was a game I loved more than most, otherwise I would not care. Stupid alien vision still in, commander view is still failing to provide important information, at least the variable lag problem was taken care of.

    Present build is stable as it has ever been. At least get some new blood in then release the update 3 weeks later.

    b265 sounds like it will be even better and get one of those big update names. Codename Titan Update. I am sure there will be a big sale then.

    UWE hasn't upset me except for the fade changes in B250. I still have mixed feelings about that, but it is a lost cause. I happily await b265.

    They prob gonna do it after 265. Hopefully this time they will test it with current community before the sale starts.

    They've done that before... remember the infamous beta patch that came out before the Reinforced sale?
