So nobody there is working on Titanfall? Now the hacking exploits not getting patched in over a month make sense.

Titanfall 2 currently only has a couple players because somebody figured out how to crash everybody's game, guess Respawn doesn't give a shit.

>>16405763

Too forced

>>16405768

I think it currently has six players

Why help a dead game? They had the momentum they bought with streamers but they wasted it during season 1. They had their chance to be the fortnite killer and blew it.

>>16405773

>Didn't make DICE or Bioware even helped after both studios lost on bonuses after their fuck-ups for the last few years

>Instead of matching the momentum of Fortnite, they instead just waste it while also having the studio make a fucking Star Wars game with the Sheboon Wolfeinkang and Joker-lite

Top fucking kek, RIP Respawn

Who cares

Czech em

Is anyone honestly surprised about this? Pretty much the one thing everyone was saying the momment they made a shitty battle royal was that it'd kill all future plans for titianfall the same way fortnite killed UT.

>>16405941

It's baffling how naive people really are to believe this. Titanfall was never successful while Apex Legends was, so why would they think Titanfall will be supported due to Apex?

>>16405950

Nah, you're just a fucking faggot playing tryhard, virtue-signalling your triumphant non-existent "I told you so" on people who fucking shit on this game.

>>16405941

Same thing happened to unreal tournament 4, don't know why anyone here was expecting anything different.

Just think, if Respawn hadn't got into bed with the snakes at EA, they could still be independent and own Apex Legends in full. They could've been one of the biggest indie success stories of all time. Instead, EA deliberately released one of their biggest games alongside Titanfall 2, killed the studio then absorbed it.

Now they're just another EA subsidiary who'll be sent to the bog 10 years from now once Apex cools off and they're forced to make another horseshit trendchaser game that doesn't catch, ala Bioware/Anthem. Or maybe sooner, if they decide to strip Apex away from them then demand they shit out another billion dollar franchise.

You are also aware, the slime at Micro$hit tried the same shady shit with Platinum and Scalebound, and it was only the madman Yoko Taro who saved their asses with Nier Automata.

>>16405742

Remember Unreal Tournament?

HA HA.

>>16406211

There were plenty of TF2 shills on this board.

>>16406287

The fags who really liked the game and were sad that it was dying out because of EA, and when they saw how the butchered the IP with a tranny-faggot TF BR game without the Titans, they were having heavy buyer's remorse, not even supporting what EA and Respawn did.

No wonder that Jedi game looked so QUALITY. It's just some shit EA knows people are going to gobble up because it's star wars, while EA's going full steam ahead with its own cash cow.

<wanting to play niggers and other shitskins: the shooter

<wanting to play faggot mechs: the shooter

Literally who cares?

>>16405809

EA always make great decisions. They have Star Wars but all only game they can make is Star Wars skin for Battlefield. Feel sorry for Respawn. But honestly everybody know you are dead if EA buy you. They will just torture Respawn for 5-10 years and kill them.

>>16405742

Expected, but still disappointing.

>>16405941

If anyone thought that a company which willingly went straight to EA for a publisher would make competent or good decisions then they were delusional.

>>16405768

>>16405772

It has between 2000-4000 at any one time. Not really terrible.

Whats this crash exploit, though? Ive met multiple aimbotters while playing, but haven't seen THAT particular exploit.

>>16405788

Not really. TF|2 is pretty much an improvement in every way. The titan cusomisation is a meme because there are only one or two viable loadouts. The "Titan Class" system in 2 is honestly a major improvement. As is the netcode.

>>16405788

Don't listen to >>16406874 the Titan "hero" shit and the maps in 2 are garbage compared to the first one.

A shame that you should buy neither of them since they are borderline dead and/or infested with hackers.

Thanks to the trend of having no 3rd party servers

>>16405742

Respawn got bought right after titanfall 2. Its sad, but at least they made two good games before they died.

>>16406917

The maps are admittedly worse, but i stand by the set titan loadouts.

Each of the seven titans has an unique kit, and their shit can be balanced around everything they have. (Plus the core abilities). you dont actually get any diversity in loadouts because EVERYONE JUST USES THE SAME SHIT ANYWAY.

>>16406928

*Diversity of loadouts in 1, is what i meant to say.

>>16406955

It is a generic BR name.

>>16405742

Did anyone ever actually believe that Apex wouldn't be Respawn's focus? Why the fuck would they work on titanfall when EA spent so much money to advertise apex

>>16406955

You know the torfag that posts shit like "companies are impotent, kill all leftsis, we have already won"? His style of posting is obnoxious and very distinctive, and has been recognized as one fag autistically screeching on oneangrygamer under the name Luciano whatever the fuck.

>>16406928

Nah, the locked down Titans drastically reduced the playstyle you could try compared to 1 since you can't pick an choose anything meaningful.

Not to mention that a "meta" comes around no matter what system you use.

>>16407112

But that is EA style. Force them to work on game that kill them. Just like Anthem.

>>16406244

EA has released their yearly big fps game in the fall since fucking 2011 because a) christmas season and b) to compete with cod. it was also respawn that chose the release that for titanfall 2, not ea.

it was also ea that pumped shitload of money into them long before titanfall 1, that legal shit with activision probably cost a good chunk of dosh as well.

>>16407518

>shit, better let respawn know

We already had this and other screencaps from the dev showing that they have no idea how their game got played in another thread a while ago.

For example the Chaingun and the nukes where nowhere near the top for anyone that played for longer than two hours. Neither did LTS have much impact on secondary weapons

>>16407558

I know good chance it was me who posted them on the other thread

I just don't get the constant respawn cocksucking, other companies get way more shit for way less and aren't as shit as respawn. objectively there's almost zero improvement in titanfall 2 but everybody hypes the fuck out of it (after memeing titanfall 1 is just cod with mechs).

>>16407564

I don't really see much Respawn cocksucking, only that idiots somehow pretend that 2 was in any way a step up from the first one with maybe the exception of having a fun campaign.

Hell if I knew more /agdg/ stuff I would try to get some new TF1 shit started because fun fps games aren't that frequent

>>16407576

the campaign was literally fanfiction tier tho. infinite warfare campaign was clearly superior in gameplay/story and nothing in 2 came close to the bits you got in titanfall 1.

they should've put more effort in frontier defense making it a full fledged pve aspect, but respawn managed to fuck even a simple horde mode up (after taking months to do it for some maps)

>>16407608

not that many respawn threads anymore, but you still see stuff like >>16406244 where apparently respawn can do no wrong and it was all EA (which has become it's own meme). back when apex hit there was a slight resurgence.

>Hell if I knew more /agdg/ stuff I would try to get some new TF1 shit started because fun fps games aren't that frequent

once I get my VR headset first thing I'm gonna do is some shit with titans, really want to see them on a more "realistic" scale

it's also easier than you think, just watch some unity/ue tutorials (inb4 >unity), the concepts are actually quite simple and most shit has been figured out dozens of times by now. biggest difficulty is doing high quality assets in enough quantity to get out of the techdemo/assetflip category when you're on your own (and get the feel right depending what you wanna do).

>>16408113

>they should've put more effort in frontier defense making it a full fledged pve aspect

What do you mean?

I think they should've added more maps into Frontier Defense. They didn't even bring back the maps from TF1.

>>16408143

put the campaign around it, give it more variety/randomness/dynamic, something more like battlefront's galactic conquest, then make it play either solo or with mates if you don't wanna do full pvp all the time (I know it's a pvp game first, but why ignore that xbox hueg amount of pve people? titanfall always had a population problem and people that don't play don't pay).

would also mean more options for longterm progression than the retarded aegis system without drowning the gameplay in literal shit. fuck they could've gone and simply ported tf1 FD like valve ported the l4d1 stuff.

I mean look at cod zombies. personally I don't like the mechanics but the amount of effort and money they put into it is immense and a fuckload of people play it.

>>16408113

>it's also easier than you think, just watch some unity/ue tutorials

I get what you are talking about but I was more thinking about getting a server side project going to make private TF1 servers.

Alternatively, yeah it would be fun to throw something together with Titans

>giving a shit what some shit tier dev that makes shit tier games does

>>16408230

True, they should've added more objectives, something other than defending the same point for 5 waves.

I also agree with you on the campaign of Infinite Warfare. I wish they made a new IP out of it instead of CoD, there were a lot of interesting elements in that game, great setting and characters.

Thanks anons I haven't laughed this hard in a while.

>>16408113

I don't give a shit about Call of Duty though. The only thing I said is that the sequel came out with something that the first game should have come up with. I'd like it if you explained how a Call of Duty campaign is supposedly superior and what is wrong with TtF2's campaign. I liked it, nice levels (besides the sewers) that have a bunch of original ideas and use the mechanics of the game in full. The only drawback is that the first titan model is locked to singleplayer.

>nothing in 2 came close to the bits you got in titanfall 1.

Like a missing singleplayer mode?

Titanfall 1 was better because it didn't have blinding ass bloom everywhere.

I can't hit shit in TF2 since every time I look up I can't see a damn thing.

>>16408577

Don't fucking remind me. And I had actually thought the game felt good, too. The sliding was nice, playing CTF felt good. I had some hope that the game would eventually get popular.

JUST

>>16405982

nice try, but no

>>16406211

truth hurts, doesn't it

>>16407491

What is the schizophrenic rambling in the second image trying to convey?

>>16407491

> where can I harass from the back with a strider+40mm?

Tone does that. You get a shield too.

>kamikaze ogre to nuke some retarded stacks?

Ronin can do that more effectively than any ogre. He's fast and has an upgrade that allows you to go nuclear while phase shifting. You can also use northstar's tether traps to hold enemy titans in place while your nuke goes off.

I prefer TF1 to 2, but in terms of titans they just gave them titans so many new abilites and shit to do that in terms of titan gameplay 2 is far superior.

>>16408701

Tone is the OP, retardproof, press X to win mech that's only played by "muh K/D", meta/tier whore tryhards.

>>16408550

IW's campaign is nonlinear, has varied gameplay (stealth/plane/zero grav), a twist you don't see coming from a mile away, better written characters complete with more than one emotional punch that isn't an iron giant ripoff and doesn't get completely devalued for cheap sequel bait.

>what is wrong with TtF2's campaign

if you ignore the lore or tf1:

- super special protag with super special titan that no one else uses for some super special reason

- super special titan that is so super special he could probably finish the campaign alone but needs you for some reason

- campaign's goal is so super special and world-ending coincidentally only YOU can prevent it and ofc you do.

- setpieces connected by linear corridors where you just fight through hordes of enemies (there was also some campaign only weapon fuckery iirc, been a while since I played it)

- saturday morning cartoon villains that are evil because the game makes a very clear point to show/tell me how very evil they are

- said villains also running around with super special titans that no one else uses for some super special reason

- enemy faction background is basically "we're space nazis"

- who the fuck is blisk and why should I care?

- collectibles that are nothing more than achievement fodder (even tf1 gave you a reward for completing the campaign on each side)

- said collectibles implemented so lazily that you run into invisible walls everywhere while looking for them

if you played tf1:

- super special protag makes zero sense considering the game telling you how hard the pilot training is

- AI titans are dumb af, which gives pilots a reason to exist in the first place. can't have it both ways.

- factions are different shades of grey with enough ambiguity but in the sequel space nazis vs good guys (who cares about the how and why?)

- better written characters and atmosphere with a meaningful sacrifice to the point the game kills you off since you were never super special to begin with (unless you count being a pilot)

- "realistic" gritty vs spacey time-travel shenanigans

don't me wrong, I enjoyed the campaign too but some of those point rubbed me the wrong way, especially coming from 1.

>Like a missing singleplayer mode?

you can play the campaign alone, you'll just have to deal with bots. up to you if fighting in an arena compared to setpieces is better or worse.

>>16408317

respawn couldn't even move the harvester to give the maps at least some variety, even when they removed the map-based difficulty in 2 for bulletsponges.

IW was way too damn underrated

>>16408705

>Tone does that. You get a shield too.

tone is an atlas chassis, shields don't make up for mobility (especially with the health/shield changes in 2)

>Ronin can do that more effectively than any ogre

and everybody knows exactly what you're up to to the point they shut you down immediately. northstar is equally squishy.

> so many new abilites and shit to do that in terms of titan gameplay 2 is far superior.

not really, they just locked certain stuff to certain chassis while slightly changing some stuff (losing TT for the leadwall for example), I don't really see how that gives you more shit to do.

the new stuff like hover is also kinda eh to the point it's a free kill, scorch as a whole is only useful on a handful of maps (in part thanks to the shit vanilla tf2 maps).

respawn's MUH META is also a shit excuse when fasa figured that stuff out over 2 decades ago.

I've read better suggestions during tf1 that could've been more interesting. for example a leapfrog ogre that can crush enemy titans mario style, would also work with a stryder for some roof antics, titan using drones (basically pets) etc

>>16408740

>>16408701

not to mention how "healthy" the debate mentioned in >>16407518 has been for months

>try to play titanfall 1

>14 players online total

;_;

I loved playing that campaign. The grunts were so much more detailed than in TF2.

>>16408919

>grunts

fuck, that reminds me how respawn reduced their numbers and gave them way less chatter.

completely forgot about that…

>>16409060

Oh god don't remind me of the legion of people that complained about the AI because they couldn't tell them apart from actual players
