Titanfall thread.

Talk about Titanfall, what you like, dislike, love, hate.

Advertise a network maybe.

Best faction to join? Best Titan is quite obviously Scorch.

Also knows as, how to do everything you did right with the last game, wrong thread.

I hate the more cramped maps, I hate the set titans you get and the fact they don't regen shields. Campaign was ok but suffered from AAA syndrome with a handful of enemies who all acted the same with the exception of a few. If they make 3 I hope they figure out what the fuck they are doing or want to do with it. I did have as much fun with the multilayer as I did in 1.

Oh, even worse is that they sold to EA, which I can kinda see why they wanted big dev support but after getting burned and losing their baby once you think they would know better. If they were able to release this shit on steam instead of Origin they would have better longevity, now they are shackled to that pile of shit.

titanfall 1 is one of the best FPS games i have ever played and i say that completely unironically. customizing my titan was fun and rewarding, and i really liked that you could add little touches of your own - instead of gay-ass achievements you'd get new little decals to stick on your mech, you could buy new languages for your mech's bitchin' betty AI voice to speak in, etc. i also really loved how as farfetched and ridiculous it was combat-wise it grounded you in your character and surroundings by never, ever, ever leaving first person, so even if you're sneaking up behind another player and doing an execution or whatever you're seeing it from your perspective. felt great. put simply, i'm a huge pussy when it comes to games; i'm a career turtler in RTS, i almost always play medic or support in FPS, etc. titanfall 1 turned me into a sprinting, wallrunning, titan-punching rodeo clown badass son of a bitch and i honestly don't know what part of its gameplay formula did that but i'll never forget it. my clearest memory of it is a 3 on 1 titan battle where I was the 1, and through careful aim with my 40mm rifle and abuse of the gravity shield i killed all three and still had enough health to blast into another group of enemy titans, nuke eject and kill every last one of them.

titanfall 2 had enough of the formula to feel good but lost a lot of it in its transition to EA and i have zero doubt that the next one will be just another EA lootbox bullshit game, and even if it isn't TF2's weird shift to MOBAlike "hero" titans instead of a blank slate you make your own did enough damage to steer me away from the franchise. it still has at its core the same fundamentals i loved - go fast, kill guys, do some initial D shit in your titan and punch robots so hard that they explode - but its shift from "hurt people at mach 3" to "do that one thing your titan is good at until your ult is charged" was a really disappointing change. the addition of TOTALLY EPIC executions that take place in third person was another bad move, because it changed the pace just enough that it became more about the spectacle than it was about the moment-to-moment high-speed combat

tl;dr TF1 good TF2 okay TF3 i have zero hope

I've never played the first one, only the second. Personally I don't like a lot of choices they made, such has every pilot have an aura that easily allows people to see you. Hiding is impossible unless you get yourself the invis skill, which isn't too useful in itself.

I can't play the PvP part of it anymore due to the huge difference in skill level. It isn't fun when you don't have a single chance to get better.

Feels bad being a no skill scrub.

Could you be more descriptive?

I unironically like the smart pistol. It lets you focus purely on parkour (and using parkour to evade getting locked) instead of nigger twitch reaction COD gameplay. I like the universe- with a little spice and better writing it would have been amazing. I like the cat and mouse between infantry and titans, not many games have this. I also think Titanfall 1 is better than 2 because it allows you to customize, it only needed much more things to customize with. To be fair I never played the second so I wouldn't know, but I do know they removed the smart pistol as a main weapon and forced you into preset titans. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>15124288

Too many people focus on what Respawn got wrong: the dull narrative, the failed attempt to make a multiplayer shooter feel like a single-player campaign, and the lack of destructible scenery. Instead, take a good look at what Respawn got right. Titanfall mixes two scales of combat together, with the fast-moving, nimble but vulnerable pilots on the one hand and the hulking, heavily armed and armoured Titans on the other, and makes each scale work brilliantly, and mesh seamlessly together. Controls and player movement on both scales are nigh-on perfect, and Titanfall’s maps – the vast majority are excellent – do a fantastic job of providing high-speed parkour routes for the pilots and open stomping grounds and choke points for the Titans.

The subtleties and balance of the gameplay have only got better with each new patch or update. The Titans might seem impregnable and overpowering, with their massive cannons, rocket launchers and chainguns, their heavy armour and their crushing feet, but Respawn counters with the pilot’s cloak and stim (speed boost) abilities, their ability to leap onto Titans and attack them from the shell (the Rodeo manoeuvre) and by giving pilots weapons that can do genuine damage to the stomping behemoths.

Getting into a Titan and kicking ass never gets tired, particularly because the game’s score to reduce the drop time mechanics turn it into a reward for working hard on the battlefield. Yet playing as a pilot is so much fun that losing a Titan never spoils the enjoyment. The groups of AI controlled grunts and spectres ensure that there’s action and excitement even when no other players are in range.

Titanfall 2 is way faster than 1, and the set titans let us have fun stuff like Northstar and Monarch. 1 was too generic, but I still had fun.

it released within literal days of hearthstone, dark souls 2, stick of truth, the FFX-X2 remasters etc. basically the exact same reason TF2 tanked; it just got dropped into a crowded release window although in TF2 it's speculated that EA did that intentionally in order to weaken respawn and strengthen their release of battlefield we wuz kaizers

"Worthwhile" is an interesting term. It's not worth your money now that EA acquired Respawn and the questionable balance made loadouts and overall gameplay less entertaining due to assorted nerfs and buffs. When the multiplayer was better it may have been worth your time and money, but now the question is muddier. It routinely goes down to $9 on sale, but I think initially small community must have shrunk by now, so I don't know how easy it'd be to get matches for anything but TDM.

If you want to know what the core gameplay is like, you can pirate the campaign, which I strongly recommend. It doesn't take itself too seriously, which is a rare blessing these days from a game as high-profile as this, and it leaves you wanting more because each new level design or gameplay gimmick is given a bit too little time - better than overdoing it or padding the total campaign length.

Despite my earlier hesitation, I do want to clarify this game is fucking awesome. It's probably the best CoDlike ever made, and streamlined/improved a lot of stuff from the first game, such as the movement system and titan loadouts. It's been a long time since a game made me feel as consistently happy and gleeful as TF|2, partially due to the aesthetic and partially due to the satisfaction I got from using the Softball and Wingman Elite to kill scrubs and mow down bad players.

Even semi-solved game modes like Live Fire (Counter-Strike without weapon permanency, basically) and CTF were tonnes of fun in pickup groups, which is something I haven't been able to say for most multiplayer games this decade.

I used to like the Apex Predators more until I got tired of Blisk yelling at me to FOIGHT HAHDAH. Ash and Ion kept me sane.

I would liken the movement to first person Vanquish or old Warframe (zoren-copter era). I only played the second one but I loved it. Since my gpu is at the end of it's life and boils whenever I run anything more demanding than Photoshop I can't rightly say if the multiplayer is still populated.

After recently giving BLOPs 3 a crack I gotta say I'm a huge fan of the auras for ease of visibility. Sure outlines are easy-mode, but they create cohesive game design. The one downside to going fast is that it makes it harder to see details, which means it's harder to pickout a sillhouette unless it's also moving fast. Because the game is tacticool every cunt is wearing camo and can be hard to see in the busy environments.

Without the auras or outlines crouching in a corner, and camping almost invisibly becomes possible. The problem is that since everyone else is going at warp 8 you're never going to get any kills, but you also won't be killed because they can't see slow mortals. It's boring, but not punishable by death which is the key way a game tells you that you're wrong. Auras fix this by making everyone a clearly distinct target.

I started playing again because of the thread and in the campaign when you are fighting other titans it is fun to go on foot and fight with your titan instead of inside him.

Yeah, I want to chill with my titan more. I liked BT, but I kinda felt like I was his sidekick, not the other way around. Which is fine because he was cool but still.

I just want customization back. I hate to say it but they should do OPs like they did in CoD so you can do shit with your online titan as well. I doubt it will happen because of the team size but its nice to think about. I really hope they figure out what they did right and work with that, or at least not fuck up to bad.

Side note about titans, does it ever say in the lore how smart they are? I know the vanguard class is special because it and its pilot are supposed to operate alone for extended periods, hence why he had so much independence, but I wonder if its the case for normal titans.


90911d No.15133544

>>15131862

They don't really go too far into that, probably to keep the magic of "is he really alive, with feelings?" Question going, but it seems to be divided into basic, and advanced Titans.

The basic titans are those fielded in Titanfall 1, the Atlas, the Ogre, and the Stryder. They show a high capacity for modular upgrades, but aren't shown to be particularly unique in any way, intelligence included. They can be modified with different AI cores, so this could be rectified with an expensive enough core, but none of them are shown to be long term, unique intelligences, being more like a Droid from Star Wars; wiped often enough they don't develop a real personality with quirks.

Titanfall 2 titans are apparently unique to their chassis, which is much harder to replace than a datacore. We are also introduced to the concept of a removable core, though it isn't confirmed if this is unique to the Vanguard class. We are, however shown a fair amount of variability in how the titans behave, with more combat maneuvers when set autonomously, and a greater sense of battlefield awareness shown in their radio communications.

My overall theory is that every titan in the multiplayer is indeed uniquely yours, and the justification for their AI surviving destruction, even when you don't retrieve the datacore like you did with BT, is that they are storing themselves wirelessly in your pilot gear, like BT does at the end of the campaign. The Advanced style chassis are said by BT to be "highly advanced" gear, so it could be that BTs AI core is actually an archaic solution to a problem that the IMC had solved ages ago, and his survival at the end was reached though his self ingenuity.

I feel like multiplayer wise Respawn made Titanfall 2 much more complex than the game had to be.

TF1's variety in classes, weapons and perks was completely fine. No need to move into Call of Duty territories of perks, weapons and abilities.

I really don't enjoy people who want variety for the sake of having multiple different looking weapons, even when they play almost the same.

On a side note: is it just me getting older or is Titanfall 2 much, much faster than TF1?

Having identifiable classes is superior. You can see an enemy, know what they can do, and how you can counter them.
