Everything looks awesome but I'm just so negative about the games chances on PC - Battlefield is such a loving behemoth to face up against. I wish this had come out like 3 months earlier than it is... I think Ill still buy it because worst case the single player interests me. Since COD has ground itself to a halt, all this exciting movement and weaponry seems like what the future CODs have been trying and failing to do.

They should just ditch all the tech test modes and have the final playlist be:

Attrition
Last Titan Standing
Capture The Flag
Frontier Defense

Those are the four best modes and trying to push Pilots-only for the COD crowd won't work because COD players will always play COD.

Respawn confirmed that 1v1 mode at the end is the "Coliseum" you get access to with a "ticket" from Mountain Dew, Doritos, or Buffalo Wild Wings. Best 2 out of 3 wins, winner gets "Advocate Gifts," whatever those are.

I would be fine with this. However, I do have some doubts about how well Last Titan Standing will work when the Titans don't have a shield. I'd have to play it myself to know for sure.


I was happy to hear the ambient battle sounds in this video (~4:15).

This video has a match of LTS. It looks like Titans don't start with shields just like the Tech Test, but there seem to be some Battery pickups in the middle of the map.

So is attrition basically like a less organized bounty hunt? I loved bounty hunt but it did kind of lull sometimes when people weren't playing the objective or they'd just stick to their own side of the map and barely fight each other.

I actually thought the NPC grunts sounded terrible back when TF1 came out but it's pretty much one of my favorite things in TF2. It makes the rounds feel like a nice mix of competitive mp, single player and co-op.

Basically any mode with grunts is cool with me. I hope they make them a little more lethal though. Really the only ones to worry about were reavers or whatever they were called. And that was only when you didn't have Titan.

The grunts were never really a threat, although sometimes they could get you if you hosed up really bad, they were mostly a resource that you were rewarded with for gaining control of certain areas, if that makes sense. Like if an enemy is covering you from a certain area, you can't kill grunts in that spot, or at least you risk getting hurt/killed if you go after them. You get a decent amount of points for killing Pilots/Titans in attrition, but overall way more from killing grunts, but you can't kill the grunts if you're getting killed or losing sections of the map to the enemy.

Attrition is the standard team deathmatch mode. What made it special was how chaotic it was with all the grunts/spectres/turrets everywhere which made matches feel more exciting. It also solved a design issue whereby making maps large enough to cater to titans meant that they were way too large for pilots to run around in, so the addition of all the AI solved that issue by populating the map with way more stuff to shoot at. The AI also added a second layer whereby you could farm them to speed up how fast you got your titan, which was on a countdown anyways, which resulted in titans dropping pretty much constantly. That's why the Titanfall 2 tech test was such a shock to fans of the first game, because the maps felt like ghost towns in comparison and all the chaos and fun had been scaled-back drastically.

I wonder if the locked one in the bottom right corner is some kind of new burn card system?

I know the bits of the trailer where groups of pilots move in sync jumping out of a window are trailer dressing, but I would be completely down with bringing back Spectre hacking as a way of forming a possie

~3 grunts desperately to keep up with you and fire wildly if they see an enemy pilot nearby

So is appearance not linked to pilot ability anymore? In one of those video the dude was using the grapple, but he definitely wasn't the ScarfSpectre.

I agree with you in principle. My problem is that you're dead in about 1.5 seconds and most fights have a high level of commitment/ambush so I'm not sure how useful it is in practice.

Yeah, the ttk is exactly the same. Amped weapons melted people as well. They were just more common in the trial because they only had that and those drones.

They just updated which model is connected to the grapple; it's still very much connected to your ability.

Yeah, it was a bit bizarre to me to hear complaints about the amped weapons considering it's the same idea as was in Titanfall 1. "Guns that do increase damage and last until you die! That poo poo is so broken and I don't know why they'd introduce that!" says stunned crowd that never used burn cards I guess?
