It is official: the shooter titanium from 2014 is removed from the sale. The fan darling had been struggling with hackers for a long time, now you can not find him soon in the shops. The players mourn now, but are not surprised.
What is titanium at all? The shooter is the first, great title from Respawn Entertainment, which founded in 2010 from former COD developers and belongs to the Publisher Electronic Arts.
Titans arrived very well at the fans at that time, sold more than 10 million units (via IGN.COM) and could conquer a place in the heart of many players. The shooter has a futuristic setting and mixed FPS action with Much fighting. Players could fight with gripping hooks and parkour over the map or be traveling in their huge titans. These are Techs who have different properties and weapons.
In 2016, Titan fall 2 followed, which also became very well-received and put the foundation for the Battle Royale Apex Legends published in 2019, which plays in the universe of Titan fall, but has no titanium.
A few years after releaser, however, followed a difficult time for titanium 1 and 2 that continues today. Hacker fell and cared for frustration. Now the first part disappears from the sale and all shops.
When is it that far? By 1 March 2022, titanium is still available. Then you can not buy the shooter anymore.
Titanium is no longer sold — are hackers to blame?
What was going on? For some time, however, titanium on heavy DDoS attacks by hackers is being used. The nasty numerous players the shooter, because there is no offline mode in the first titanium.
While titanium case 2 is not quite so hard from the problem, the situation in titanium 1 is already pretty bad. In 2019, it became known that in the multiplayer of both shooter a hacker drives his misrepresentation.
What does DDoS attack mean? DDoS means distributed denial of service. In the event of an attack, servers are bombarded by millions of bots with such a high data waste that they come to the shallow or even forced into their knees.
In any case, the responsible person or persons also conform the fun of the remaining player base and makes the online modes almost unplayable. If you go to the players, that's the case until today.
The hackers resort to Exploits and scripts and fill sessions with bots. Thus, it is impossible for numerous players to find a meeting in the game search. The hackers even prevent the creation of private sessions. It is currently not possible to start a multiplayer game.
ResPawn reported then when the problems became known to take care of it and look for a solution. So far, nothing has happened here. Now obviously followed the decision to at least no longer sell titanium.
Whether that's the reason, but remains open. At least not the hacker attacks are not mentioned. We have asked EA for a statement and wait for an answer.
Only in July, Apex legends was already affected by directly related to titanium.
Hacker attack on Apex Legends, allegedly due to rescue of titanium case
What was going on? In July 2021, Apex legends was plagued by similar and other problems. Hackers attacked the servers and temporarily lame the game search. For example, these attacks changed the descriptions and titles of the shooter's IngameLists.
Also, there were various news that launched messages of the hackers. It was said, among other things: TF1 is attacked, so it will be apex too. About it, the website Safety Case is advertised. The hacker attack has obviously to do with titanium.
Part of the attack was probably a DDoS attack, some players could not temporarily play. The hackers told saving titanium and that they tried unsuccessfully to draw attention to the developers on the problem.
Thus, one reached to desperate means to create this attention. But then there was also rumors that the hackers of Titan fall 1 stuck behind this attack and just wanted to worry about further chaos.
At least one has probably responded at least to the effect of selling titanium. The players mourn for the shooter, but are not surprised.
Players find it a pity, but at least remains titanium 2
The fans are reacting: Numerous players react sad, the corresponding post in the official Subreddit to titanium has just under 20,000 up votes (via reddit.com), but surprised hardly anyone. After the ongoing problems and the lack of reaction by the developers, it was only a matter of time for many.
Most can live with that, because titanium 2 remains still in the shops and is not quite as much affected by the problems. Rather, the general concern is wide that the opportunities could not stand well on a titanium case 3. For some fans believe: If Respawn does not even scare around the older games of titanium and only support Apex Legends, how likely is a new titanium case? Ultimately, many just say goodbye and hope that titanium will eventually learn the love of respawn, which earns it in the eyes of the players. But what do you think of the matter? Do you find the decision right? Did you like titanium, or have you never played the shooter? Also, one of the latest shooters, Halo Infinite, uses a popular feature of titanium attack with its gripping hook. There a fan has now proved: As a controller player you have a huge advantage in Halo Infinite
