the ion rocket launcher secondary weapon doesnt seem to do much of anything

Seems like it does a lot of damage if you score a direct hit. They should let you detonate it early like the rocket launcher in Doom so you can at least get some splash damage if you just miss.

I believe you get it when you're halfway to getting your Titan core ability (much like you get amped weapons when you're halfway to a Titan as a pilot)

There's been no official word from Respawn about Attrition coming back, they have said that "Bounty Hunt" is an "evolution" of attrition. The amount of AI in those modes is minuscule compared to how many they had in Attrition.

Respawn Producer posted:

"The game mode is 'Bounty Hunt,' an evolution of Attrition from the last game," McCoy said. "It's a really good casual mode. It's very target-rich and great if you have 10 minutes to get to grips with this game while you're playing it."

Given the design of Bounty Hunt mode, I'm starting to wonder if it's also replacing Frontier Defense as well.

thats depressing. I am starting to think i may wait for reviews and sales. everything i have been reading sounds like they hosed up the multiplayer and now the community is pissed as gently caress. I loved the first one because it was something different outside of tf2/overwatch esc games and cod/battlefield/counter-strike. now it seems they are cramming a bunch of cod poo poo in. maybe the campaign will be fun at least.

If there's no T1 style attrition with lots of AI to step on i'm definitely not buying. It was chaotic and fun and refreshing

It's like they listened to all the *dumb* criticisms some people made about the first game

There's another tech test in five days. If you're a PC gamer and don't have access to the tech test, you can always just buy the game anyways and get a refund if you don't like it provided you purchase it through EA's Origin store. They have a good refund policy. You're right though, the overwhelming consensus is that they have completely hosed the sequel up and there's no way they can address all the problems before launch.

but thats just sad. Titanfall 1 was drat great if not good game with a bunch of good ideas. Now they are scraping all the good poo poo. its like if they made battlefield with no conquest mode and made all the vehicles unlock via killstreak. Now they are turning 2 into a loving aborted cod clone. i am legit mad because it was TF1 was one of the few multiplayer games i loved and was good at and now they are loving it so it can appeal to cod kiddies.

It certainly seems they're trying SOMETHING new, though it could be a case of "ooh shiny" syndrome where all the stuff in the MP leaks looked nice and shiny.

this. infinite warfare actually looks cool, the campaign is done by former uncharted/last of us writers/designers and the mutiplayer is being done by titanfall 1 dude. it looks cool and interesting. and i love low-fi sci-fi. it has a very gundam politics vibe.

Maybe I just didn't play as much Titanfall as everyone else here but I'm a little confused reading the complaints about TF2. It largely feels like the same game with some fairly minor tweaks, many of which are (IMO) an improvement. I'm glad burn cards are gone because they were annoying to sort through. Once I got a handle on the new Titans I appreciated that they're less tanky because it made titan v titan fights less of a slugfest than they were last time, although they could probably stand to be a little hardier vs pilots. The battery mechanic seems like it's not quite fully baked yet, but whatever. I don't think letting you fully customize your titan's chassis and loadout really added anything in 1 so I'm fine with this more pre-set system they've moved to. The guns and abilities, both on the pilot and titan side, feel a lot more satisfying than I remember them being in the first game.

Really my biggest gripe is just that the AI in bounty hunt feels like an afterthought since they only spawn in a couple of tiny areas at certain times, instead of being spread throughout the map like in attrition. There were a few other changes that bummed me out but which are ultimately pretty minor, like the embark animations not being first person anymore and not being able to shoot into a titan's brains when you rodeo it.

"I can no longer sit back and allow nationalist shitposting, nationalist indoctrination, nationalist subversion, and the German nationalist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious game balance."
It's Section 8 all over again (the first one was awesome but different - the sequel listened to all the idiots screaming "more like CoD" and it was utter garbage).

I am more pissed about the AI and the lack of atterision mode. I never used burn cards personally. the problem is with out the ai the map feels empty as gently caress and and encourages camping.

I disagree, developers usually put all existing maps, abilities and game modes into their prerelease tech tests to make them indicative of the full game :downs:

I was referring to Todd Alderman, but I just read that he only went back to IW for 4 months and is back at Respawn now so forget everything I said I guess

Also, I remember playing the poo poo out of the Titanfall 1 beta and the full game. I didn't enjoy playing the tech test and it just felt off. But maybe they'll put Attrition in next weekend's tech test and maybe there will be actually be walls to run on this time and it'll be fun again

I actually came to really enjoy Bounty mode after I settled into the game.

I was initially shocked cause I tried amped hardpoint first and played an entire game without ever getting a titan and my initial reaction was very negative, as piloting the huge robots was my favorite part of the game.

I'm hoping there is plenty of variety in the game in terms of titans and maps and a few extra game modes when it goes live in October.
