They nearly doubled it on the last day of the beta and it was easy to get 2 to 3 Titans in a full match.

The amping mechanic in hardpoint is dumb. It forces you to go back to the home flag and amp it and the double points make matches end way too quick.

Given the negative reactions I feel like only running the beta at weekends is a mistake. I won't get to go back and give it a second try so my negative reaction will have to stick around until reviews come in.

It was basically pilot vs pilot hardpoint in the first 2 days. Was there much of a timer at all in bounty hunt? It felt like the only way to get a titan was kills - no more 120s timer or whatever it was. With the reduced AI that meant way less titans in a match AFAICT. My %age meter filled so slowly

There was some blog post by the devs saying the tech test was a success in that it gave them good server info but they also said that all the design decisions that people are bitching about will be addressed in another blog post by the designers of the game. Also the build was from mid-June so I wouldn't' consider it really final.

I tried out titanfall one today on origin because I had a two day trial and it's pretty fun. I'm a big fan of the ai making me feel like I'm actually contributing to my team, despite only occasionally getting pilot kills. It's pretty fun, but I doubt they'll change too much about the second one at this point. Just because the build is a couple months old doesn't mean that they would purposefully release a beta that is significantly different from their intended final release.

Mid-June build is all we're getting this weekend. edit: http://www.titanfall.com/en_us/news/tech-test-successes/ quote:Given the way game certification works and the timelines involved, the Tech Test was from a June snapshot of our game, and some of the feedback and issues fans noticed this weekend have been fixed in our game for weeks or months now. In addition, the full game has a lot more Tactical abilities, weapons, unlocks, customization, Titans, and maps than the Tech Test build does, and that slimmed-down view of the game for a Tech Test can be its own challenge for balancing and learning curve reasons. More on that later - the designers are going next with their own blog update - this is focused on the engineering goal of the Tech Test. Given that titanfall 1 had some launch load issues I'm ok with this being primarily testing around the dedicated servers. MrBond fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Aug 23, 2016 |

I really disliked the way that Bounty Hunt dispersed the action across the map. On Homestead it was just tedious and felt very empty, especially compared to the first game, which had bots all over the place. Removing the Titan timer also means you don't get that awesome escalation three minutes into the match when both teams are guaranteed to be fully armored up and start brawling.

I gotta say that one really open map did grate on me. Though parts of it were great for wall running large parts of it were the absolute worst. And often those were the parts where the AI were spawning. Also I really hope they bring back attrition and make the game feel faster instead of slower. Also they really should bring back having titans on a timer and not just killstreaks.

Yeah or at least make it a loving points based unlock. I felt kind of gyped dumping like 500 dollars into the bank and getting zero Titan points. Swapping batteries around is by far the easiest way to get a Titan though. Just steal or give a battery 3 times and you get one.

"Defined paths become the norm: the left, the middle, the right. There's a greater simplification of the player's understanding of the environment, so that the environment becomes more predictable and becomes less about just drawing lines across the map from any point to any point where it just becomes a mess. We're trying to make sure the level is designed in a way that gets these trendy routes and feels more fundamental." Goddamnit, the fact that you could make your way across a map in any totally random, haphazard way you wanted was one of my favorite parts of the original.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if EA intentionally sabotaged this game's development in some sort of "Springtime For Hitler" scheme, I mean it is much more likely that this is just because of them being idiots and using focus groups when it's pretty obvious at this point that all focus groups do is ruin any games they are used on

there's twitter remarks from the devs that they are listening to feedback, but it's contradictory with how quickly the first game fell off I'm sure they are taking the criticisms from it seriously, but they seem to be unaware of the community that loved it but didn't love how there wasn't much of a playerbase

I'm in a holding pattern until release. If it's good, I'll get TF2. If it's not, I'll get BF1, or just wait until it's cheaper and all the DLC is out.
