Probably not because it isn't an XB1 exclusive any more so there will be plenty of actual humans to play against now.

Man, they really want to recreate the magic of the CoD4 AC-130 mission, but in space.

EDIT: if you preorder on PS4, you get to replay the CoD4 campaign 30 days early. Looks like not even a digital preorder is needed, a physical preorder will do for "select retailers."

I did it in hardcore and it took a day to get dark matter on it. Mind you I haven't played since they nerfed it, but from what I've read it's just range and it's not that big of a difference.

Mill Village posted:

Titanfall 2's MP is looking pretty awesome.

I went to the EA Play e3 public event in LA yesterday and was able to play several rounds of Titanfall 2. The game is super fun and they made a lot of smart changes to the core mechanics that seemed to improve from what they had on the first game. The grappling hook is super fun to use and compliments the first games stellar parkour mechanics nicely. You can use it to hook onto titans and rodeo a lot easier or if you're falling use it to give yourself momentum to swing yourself under bridges, or you can even hook onto enemies and pull them in for a melee. The biggest thing I noticed right away was how different the radar was from TF1, enemy fire doesn't show up as radar blips and now you only get ticks in the general direction of enemy fire, a good improvement in my opinion since the silencer was OP previously.

The Titan combat is still a lot of fun, my titan had this super charged laser that fires from your titan's chest that eviscerates anything in it's path, I was able to take out two titans with a single laser blast. Also Titan executions go into third person, they look really good, Ion (the Titan I think I was using) would do some melee attack and jam it's gigantic gun into the enemy cockpit and dump, a big gently caress yeah moment. There were only 2 Titan classes available to play but there's going to be a total of 6.

I was only able to pick from 3 different precreated classes but judging by the open slots it looks like there's a lot more variance and options to the weapons and equipment from the first one, anti-titan weapons for example have attachment slots (for the demo build it was just extended mags). From the different videos they were showing outside in the lounge area it looks like they are going to have a lot of different Titan and pilot skins, and if I were to guess probably different animations for Titan executions to go along with the included third person perspective. Just from what I played it seemed to have a lot more depth to it and they weren't showing all the weapons and titans, it's like an answer to everyone's complaints from the first one.

I know this is the cod thread but saw the TF2 chat from the other day and wanted to chime in.


But on a related note, hey that Infinite Warfare campaign demo looked pretty cool. If there's more to it I might end up picking it up after all?

Still had bots, particularly the mode they were showing off had AI grunts and titans as objectives to kill to score points along with enemy players.

They did announce they will have mods without bots, but TF1 had a mode with no bots and was 9 on 9 or something like that with no Titans, was boring and a campfest IMO.

Is it slower then the original? I heard it got slowed down a bit to help more casual players get into it.

Not sure how I feel about the radar change. It sounds like Destiny's radar.

Infinite Warfare looks interesting. I don't understand why people hate it so much. It looks way better then Ghosts and BO3's campaigns.

It looks kinda boring and doesn't have co-op to save it from being boring. BO3's campaign was cool because it was a Ghost in the Shell story you could play with your buddies, making it better than the actual Ghost in the Shell game they recently released.
