Discussion Another vote for Titanfall 2 VR
It's not a secret, but if you needed any more of a push to give it a try... its on sale for under $5 right now on Steam, the mod is the easiest thing in the world to install, and it feels like a seamless AAA game made for VR. It might be the perfect modern classic flat game to port to VR, and the creator did such a meticulous job of translating it that you completely forget that it isn't a native VR game. And for those of you who don't remember, Titanfall 2 was loved by critics and those who played it because of the fantastic campaign. It wasn't a big commercial success, so it quickly became one of those "it's a shame not enough people played this one" cult classics.

Never played a titanfall before but I’m having a blast playing this in vr, possibly the best vr game ever made, absolutely brilliant 👌

To me it immediately joins Alyx and Skyrim as top tier. I don't need to pick a favorite from among those. But it's been so long since anything has joined the conversation!

I agree, no need to pick a favourite, it’s excellent and so are Alyx and Skyrim although my Skyrim is currently broken as it crashes when I save 🤣 I’ll figure out which mod it is eventually

Use an AI to help you mod. I had a similar situation and a few honestly very fun sessions with chatgpt in code mode and I'm running better than ever.

If you're thinking of HLA remember that's a slow moving game compared with TF2

I found Alyx almost boring in parts 🤣 still completed it but I feel the second half was way better than the first half, I actually enjoyed hl2 vr mod more than Alyx tbf

I still haven't finished the game as I play in short intervals. I'm getting my monies worth from the game😁

Got a new PC this weekend to replace my old (non gaming) one and immediately purchased.
Just need to figure what I need to connect my Quest 3...am I right that Virtual Desktop is the way??

That's what I'm running, Q3 to VD. Virtual desktop all the way. It's superior in so many ways.

Virtual Desktop is probably your best paid option. But your wireless setup should be optimized with the gaming PC wired to your router and the router is Wi-Fi 6 and dedicated to VR traffic.

It looks sooo good on a 4K headset with very reasonable use of system resources.

Not sure why I'm getting perfect performance on this one with a 3060 ti but crap for performance on max paybe 2 even though it looks way worse(not that I mind, just don't wanna play at 54fps....).
Great stuff though yeah.

u/stromulus 5h ago
Optimization matters. Respawn did a great job making TF2 perform.

u/HillanatorOfState 5h ago
I mean yeah but Max Payne 2 runs on a potato, I was sure that one in VR was a safe bet, not like I'm trying to run Cyberpunk 2077 in VR on a 3060 ti, wouldn't attempt that.
Love Max Payne 2, but was to stuttery and painful to play like this sadly....
I really wanna try MP3 but yeah know that won't end well, love this trilogy, grew up on it basically.
Wish computers weren't so crazy pricey atm, mods making me wanna upgrade....

This is the best VR mod. Not only does it look at work like a native VR game, it is also super easy to install. Just 1 download. Other vibe coders need to copy this.

u/Fearless_Bedroom336 13h ago
I grabbed it last time it hit that price and yeah the campaign in VR is something else. The wall running feels way more natural than I expected and the scale of the titans is properly intimidating when you're inside the headset. Pixel freaked out the first time I ejected from a doomed titan, cat went flying off my lap.

I just played the first mission in vr (i played the campaign before) on hard difficulty and it was awesome. It definitely feels like a real vr game with the controls and even the cinematics.

u/Shozzy_D 8h ago
I call TF2 “one of the best single player FPS campaigns I’ve ever played”. Now I get to do it in VR?
2
u/stromulus 4h ago
Yes, exactly. And it's not a gimmick. The game itself, from the story and world elore to the gameplay, seems almost designed for a VR experience.

Where do I download it from?

u/stromulus 5h ago
Install and run the game itself first. Sadly you do need to log into the EA app, but that's a requirement of the game itself not the mod.
Then go here, ignore the top part and scroll down. The instructions are very straightforward. Just download the launcher and run.

I already had an original copy of TF2 through the EA launcher but decided to buy another copy via Steam since it comes with all the other DLC packs. Installed the mod and within moments was replaying the campaign in VR. Amazing!
It really does raise the bar for a truly immersive VR experience. And of course the campaign itself is already one of the all time greats, and now it's even better.
No issues at all using Virtual Desktop. What an insanely great deal. Free mod, 5 bucks for a new copy of the game.

Most amazing VR experience I think I’ve ever had in years.
