Is Xbox live taking a hit on download speeds ? Or has my internet speed decided to take a major speed dive for no reason ?

This will be a nightmare with randoms, I hope they have a mercenary playlist right out of the gate or this won't be fun for most people.

The Ping system I think personally is one of the biggest evolutions, they mentioned briefly. But being able to call out almost anything is really nice, it sounds simple but its really intuitive and useful.

Why does EA insist on putting out Respawn games right next to EA's own IP? They drop Titanfall 2 next to CoD and Battlefield 1 with relatively little advertising, now Apex Legends comes out just before Anthem with ZERO pre-launch hype...

"We couldn't make a Battle Royale game that doesn't have respawning."

I thought permadeath was pretty much a defining characteristic of Battle Royale games?

Seems like BR without the down time. To their credit they really seem like they are putting their own spin and flavor on it and not just cashing in.

I am soloer mostly, no solo option absolutely kills it for me. Such a shame as the game really looks intriguing.

It looks really good in the stream but its made for having confrontations, nonstop, action action action and I can see it being suuuuuuper frustrating when you jump in and die over and over again and then have to search a whole new round.

Today Electronic Arts Inc and Respawn Entertainment launched Apex Legends™, a free-to-play* battle royale shooter available right now on Origin for PC, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One. Set in the Titanfall™ universe, Apex Legends shakes up the battle royale genre with a cast of unique characters, squad-based gameplay, innovative mechanics and more.

Apex Legends delivers a squad-based battle royale experience with a uniquely Respawn flavor. Players will select from one of eight Legends - each with their own unique abilities and playstyles - and the last team standing wins. Combatants can choose from unique characters like Bloodhound, the tracker who can see recent enemy activity on the map, or Lifeline, a battlefield medic who can shield teammates and bring them back from the brink of death. Balanced squads and teamwork are critical, as each Legend is easy to pick up and learn, but challenging to master.

The first season of Apex Legends is scheduled to kick off in March and will give players the opportunity to purchase a Battle Pass to gain access to exclusive cosmetic items earned through gameplay. Apex Legendswill follow a seasonal model with each themed season bringing new content to the game in the form of new weapons, new Legends, new skins and more.

I had written off Battle Royale entirely, but that Titanfall universe has so much potential, I can't skip this. Downloading now!

It looks really awesome and well polished. it's from Respawn so it doesn't surprise me. Unluckily I'm afraid it won't be for me as I seem to lose interest in multiplayer-focused experiences very quickly :( Hope you guys have fun with it though!
