Personal Comments: I thoroughly enjoyed Titanfall 1, and so far, this definitely lives up to its name, and I'm loving it. I plan to buy this ahead of time to be ready to go when it launches 10/28/16 at Midnight EST.

Have fun!

Do you have any estimated system spec requirements for PC? (If it'll be released there at any point)

[Deleted]

I'm *so* glad that they decided to add a SP this time around. I'm sure it'll be a short yet very fun experience.

After playing the Xbox One Alpha:

Game feels alot like Call of Duty atm, in terms of mechanics and pace. That's not a bad thing in this case. Smooth frame rate for a "Pre Alpha", and the Multiplayer was enjoyable.

Not alot of weapon choices in alpha, but it keeps it simplified. I didn't care for the grappling hook, felt too slow to be useful in the heat of battle as an escape route or a position changer.

Overall, not bad. However I doubt I'll buy it at launch because it releases too close to Battlefield 1.

They did say the build were playing was a June build. Also, I managed to get in direct contact with the Lead Multiplayer Designer, Todd Alderman, and told him about how it feels like theres heavy gravity (jump height) and getting Titan Timers back would be a good thing, and he said he would talk to the team about it, so I have high hopes there.

Other than that, my only complaint is the Titan's HP, which would be ok if there were timers so theyre in more often.

What do you mean, I believe a lot of people disliked the amount of Titans on the battlefield.

When i was on reddit yesterday, that was one of the complaints that was in literally almost every post, a lot of ppl seem to be disappointed with the tech test, idk why

Comparing movement between TF1 and TF2

[NightZero88]

Was the Titanfall 2 single player trailer shown before? I swear it sounds really familiar. Like from Titanfall 1 familiar.

[Deleted]

It's old(er), yes. You might be thinking about the new Call of Doody though.

I see no reason either, it's very similar, albeit a *little* bit slower... but I'd call that "it looks smooth(er)".

[Andrei66]

The game seems to be so great. I have not played yet. This will be my next acquisition

[Kathandira]

I'm hoping this one won't make me motion sick.

When I bought TF1, I was able to play it for hours on end each day with no problem. Then I left the game for a long period of time. When I came back, I couldn't play longer than 30 minutes without feeling nauseous. I don't know if it was due to any sort of visual update, but it really made me sad since I love the game and can no longer play it.

I'm super excited to try this one out, but not at the risk of getting sick.

[Rorke]

The game needs more background noise or some kind of ambience. Everything just sounds so quiet aside from the weapons. The weapons sound great.

It also feels like its incredibly easy to sneak up on people. I'm not sure if this is intended to counter camping, but I've killed so many people by just running around the map using melee only.

So whats the preferred game mode for people here?
Only just bought the game yesterday and haven't played more than 2 pvp games yet.

Attrition.

The game is dead. Random people like to claim its the best shooter yet you'll find nobody actually playing the game. There's like 12k people on PSN right now which is less than the population of people playing Black ops 3.

Titanfall is just overrated. It's a 7/10 game that has been reviewed as a 9/10 game.

Megathread, more like megadead!

Sorry.

I think it's an awesome game, I even chose it (and still would choose it) above Battlefield 1. I like the fast-paced gameplay, the setting, the style, the titans. Now if only more people would realise its awesomeness, then we would have enough players

And yes, attrition

[dope_danny]

Extreme necro since i couldn't find the other thread. Holy shit did they drop a great surprise: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...ming-next-week

Titanfall 2's four-player co-op horde mode, Frontier Defense, will be added 25th July as a free update on all platforms.

Here players will have to defend their Harvester against five waves of increasingly difficult enemies. By defeating foes you'll earn currency to buy traps, sentries, and other tools to thwart off the siege.

The new mode will launch with five maps: Homestead, Forwardbase Kodai, War Games, Rise, and Blackwater Canal.

Frontier Defense will include its own upgrade system with Aegis Ranks, which are earned by completing matches. Rising the ranks will provide unlocks for your Titans, but only for this PvE mode. The 25th July update will also add the new Livefire map Township, along with the new multi-mode map Rise

This came out of nowhere. A horde mode game where you can summon giant mechs and wall run? thats got me interested.

Its a shame the buzz for TF2 is so low since it was a fantastic game on release, had a fair few fantastic updates and they recently announced its numbers are steadily growing while almost every other AAA shooter of the last few years has seen a noticeable drop off. Maybe its word of mouth from a small but dedicated fanbase but for a game written off by many as dead its getting the support and free updates other games either charge a lot for or never get around to doing.

Its on deep sale on PSN right now so holy shit check this out. Great campaign, great multiplayer and co-op is a patch away.

[Jtbrig7390]

Ya the game and all the support they give it is amazing.

Suck's EA sent it out to die tho. I highly recommend it if anyone is interested.

[Deleted]

Me and my friends are were waiting for something like this. We'll check this out, never uninstalled in the first place, even though I didn't play it for more than a few hours in MP.

TF2 was the game of the year 2016 imho. Too bad it doesn't have a dedicated pro scene it's so much more fun to watch good players playing it than it is in CS or even games in other genres like LoL etc.
