Stand by for Titanfall...2!

Hope it hasn't got 5 minute long load screens between maps like the original

Titanfall was around 6 months to early to impact the xbox one. I bought mine for it and didn't regret it one bit.

If cross platform could be excellent.

I have very little time for competitive multiplayer games. AAA games hold increasingly little appeal too. But no mistake: I ****ing loved Titanfall. Spent lots of time with it on 360 and PC, and outside of Platinum games I really struggle to think of many games that feel so utterly satisfying to play. The flow and pace of games was just right. It helped that, unlike most online FPS games, I was actually good at it :pac:

I know there were plenty of complaints about the lack of singleplayer, and there's plenty of rumours that will be 'rectified' this time. But part of me thinks that's a real shame. In a world where most mainstream FPS titles come bundled with utterly mediocre campaign modes that aren't worth the six hours you spend with them, I found it seriously refreshing that the care and energy was put into getting Titanfall's MP just right. And they did, and frankly I think the results were quite discernible compared to titles that have had resources diverted elsewhere (don't have to look far beyond EA's own catalogue for that). Happily put 30-40+ hours into the game, and still get a hankering to play more. Maybe now that they managed to get the core experience so right they have the time to put together something worthwhile and substantial campaign wise. But yeah I'd go as far as saying I kinda hope they don't, and manage to retain the beautiful purity of the first game.

Are there many still playing the original? I was in the disappointed-at-the-lack-of-single-player-campaign camp on launch and ended up not picking it up because of it. Since then, however, I've seen a good few comments similar to the above and I'm getting curious again.

I'm still playing it. It was the first thing I installed after signing up for EA access there just before xmas. It's great pick-up and play fun. I tend to get more enjoyment out of games when all the tweeny boppers piss off to the latest version of whatever game is on the telly ads.

I loved Titanfall but it definitely only held my attention for a short while. I'm not really even sure why I stopped playing but for a while there it was wonderful. My personal gripe was that it got a bit too mech dependant in the end game and they weren't as fluid. Still, I could see myself easily investing in 2 but I might not be so quick to grab a season pass this time :P

The game that had both and both were done well imo was The Last of Us,very enjoyable MP and well i think we all know how the SP was recieved.

Im all for having both,as long as one doesnt impede the quality of the other. So yeah fair to say id like to see most games go one way or the other but the odd gem makes it through from time to time.

As regard Titanfall,enjoyed the game. Its the game that would get stuck on the TV if the lads came up for a few beers/visit and the controller got passed around. Visually very impressive on PC too,dont think it got enough credit for that.
The only drawback about the game was that it wasnt on PS4,which is what all my mates play on so couldnt get into it as much as i would have liked. Looking forward to see what they do now with the sequel.

Still love this game. It was the first FPS I actually played and enjoyed. Controls were easy to get the hang of, and really satisfying once you do.

Looking forward to the next one!

Just reinstalled Titanfall after seening this thread. Its still a great game to drop in and out off. First real online FPS ive actually enjoyed..

Think this is my Christmas game. Looking forward to this more than any other game this year.

I find the ps4 controller a little weaker for FPS, the left stick being in the wrong place being the big one. The triggers being another irritant, so i'll probably go xbone again. I probably play more on my ps4 these days but i doubt i'll get this on it.

The beta/tech test is up on the ps4 store now. 12gb download

For anybody playing the titanfall 2 beta I created a boards network called Boards ie . It's private so only boardsies can join. I created it on PS4

Were you playing in Pilot vs Pilot? there's no titans in that game mode.

I agree though, something feels a bit off compared to the first game. Grappling hook is fun though.

Yeah I was. Didn't realise there was no Titan's in that. Hope I'm wrong, because I still love jumping back into 1, but ended up turning this off after an hour.

The kill streak for a Titan though, favours the better players. They get a better kill streak, Titan lands. The beauty of the first was, even an average player would still have a chance of kills, because a Titan would drop anyway.

I really don't like the game/BETA as it currently stands, and I loved Titanfall. It feels like they're compromising everything that was great about Titanfall and trying to be Call of Duty. They've slowed the player movement significantly and it just doesn't feel right.

Battlefield and Call of Duty have owned the shooter marketplace for years and to my mind both grew stale but Titanfall felt different. It was trying new things, you felt like you were a smaller part of a bigger battle and even if you weren't great at competitive shooters, you could still feel like you were contributing to your team's efforts.

There's no evidence of that in the BETA, the Titans are less impactful and the balance of the game just seems way off. As a player you feel much less survivable and like CoD, it's now appears to be all about running out, getting a kill or two - or three if you're really good - getting shot and immidiately respawning and repeating. In the original Titanfall I could sometimes go 10 minutes without dying as the AI bots would let you slowly build up your Titanfall and you could pick off a couple of the other team along the way. Now it feels like everything is being fueled into CoD like chokepoints.

It's the first of two BETA weekends and hopefull next weekend will see a return to that more expansive and open gameplay but as things stand, I've gone from being really excited for the release of Titanfall 2 to already feeling disappointed - rightly or wrongly.

Played last night and today, main things for me is the level design feels very poor - no real flow going from one side of the map to the other, all the indoors are small so no jumping off walls causing mayhem only sliding which is a nice addition.
I imagine the HUD will change, no need to tell me which gun I am using or even what is on L1 and R1. Autoaim seems to be too helpful at the moment - I am killing guys from way too far away - it feels great but deep down I know Im not that good.

I enjoyed the first one but wasn't mad on this one unfortunately, seems the Titans were few and far between and the controls were a bit off for me, even changing them wasn't the best...

Maybe the game mode did them no favours...

That's not to say the game won't improve, I hope they take the feedback on board and delay the release and polish it into something better, doubtful at this late stage though...
