Bad Company 2 with war tapes is an eargasm. Battlefield 1 comes close. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQgZqIiZnqo

BC2 with war tapes is easily the best sounding game I've ever played and something getting even close to it is an achievement

So I finally finished the SP campaign and downright one of the best I played. It’s full of action, great acting, great voice work, the setting was awesome, and everything just worked right. What I liked best was just how functional everything looked - from how levels were designed to the Titans and the soldiers. I can only hope that we’ll get a TF3 for sure.

It's not a sure bet but Respawn has a whole column of job listings on their Careers page for specifically "Titanfall" along with their other projects. I would assume/hope they are working on a TF3. It's not like they are pumping out more DLC for TF2.

Oh they absolutely are. That became clear when Monarch released. And everything that's come since has been on the experimental side.

Finally played a round post patch and yeah Attrition is way too long. The game mode was perfect at 500. At 650 the mode kind of drags towards the end. Also  r-201

I don't think they'll be doing upgrade cores for everybody (I don't think they're going to replace the standard cores on the other titans and trying to balance an upgrade core and a normal core would be hell both balance and attention wise), but I do think both it + the Aegis upgrades indicates we're probably going get weapon-specific perks for Titans in TF3. Probably throw away the titanfall perk category in favour of it.

Paused for a second to register in my head that I was able to get that pilot with a firestar. https://i.imgur.com/fbn4hz5.gifv This hit detection looked a little forgiving on my part but this guy was kind of lagging back and forth all over the place the whole game. https://i.imgur.com/Q8UGDTQ.gifv https://i.imgur.com/LeGFjjk.gifv

The issue is not so much "can they do this" as it is "can they do this without making every match a gigantic clusterfuck more so than it already is." Like if you had to ask me to what I think is Titanfall's most core issue, is that they have yet to really figure out a good solution for "ok what happens when a good performance player gets on a roll?". Like I would say both games have failed to address this simply because they allow performance to be a major factor at all without any sort of counteracting element. The second game made both the mistake of leaning it a bit more into performance based, and the helpful addition of making it so it was genuinely performance based and not just "ok get a bunch of kills to make it go faster" so objective-based players weren't left in the dust depending on the mode, but even in the first game there was that rolling imbalance simply because good players will always earn more and faster than bad players, and even just one particularly good player in a match of otherwise ok players can get the beatdown started if they're good enough to lockdown the opposition. Upgrade Cores on everything if all the kits were actual good stuff would just compound that: it works for Monarch since Monarch loses access to things other titans (excluding Northstar  ) have such as a guaranteed way of minimizing or blocking damage dealt to them, and doesn't have any upgrades to fix that.But on say, Ronin? He's basically on a very fine edge between ok and overpowered as it is, and either you would have to nerf the heck out of any kits for his upgrade core (in which case most people aren't going bother), or it's going effectively be a repeat of what happens in the Aegis featured modes when someone with a maxed out Ronin pops in. If I had to try solving this issue myself, I could actually see myself taking inspiration from the mobile game: make it more reliant so the initial wave of titans is more time-based or reliant on some kind of neutral mechanic so it's not just one side who gets to drop most of their titans. Though part of me wants to try something more creative like say, I dunno, make a RTS-esque simple AI for matches and have it so they can hasten titan production for their side if the other side has gained a overpowering titan advantage? Could kill two birds with one stone by making it feel like it's a genuine battle instead of just "ok we've dressed it all up but you're getting approximately zero support for this battle, even if you're being slaughtered" like it is in most FPSes.

They should have the enemies prioritize targets. So if you're on a roll, you pull aggro of all the enemy creeps. You get mortar stalkers shelling you. It would be cool.

That's actually a really cool idea, that would add a level of interactivity with the NPC's that is currently missing as well.

I'd love a Commander mode in Titanfall 3. Go a bit gonzo with larger, multi-stage maps and give the person playing as the Commander the ability to control where the Grunts/other support comes in at and where they go to.

Yeah actually now that I think about it, it would be a cool way to have FD and/or campaign only enemies show up in normal MP matches if they could appear as "holy crap you're good, we need to get our spec op teams in there", would add a good visible indicator to where potential danger spots are if newbies see where those special units are going, plus it would just be really cool to see them in action a bit more often.

I think doing that would actually encourage people to try them. Yeah people need prodding into different game types if they pick something like pilot vs pilot otherwise that player pool is too small. I never used to have an issue getting a game but now I sit there forever and get nothing. :'(

Respawn  http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20171109006677/en/EA-Acquire-Respawn-Entertainment quote:EA to Acquire Respawn Entertainment I feel like this kills a lot of the hype I have for a Titanfall 3. AFAIK Respawn had a deal with EA when they created the studio where they owned the rights to their created property and acted as an independent studio. This has never ever worked out for any studio acquired by EA. Wazzit fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Nov 9, 2017 |

Could be good I guess to have full support but yeah more than likely bad. I mean, how much will really change as compared to the "agreement" before? is TF3 confirmed or just highly suspected. Hope we see more of the campaign and, well, more of the same

Will probably have a good couple games, then a really badly conceived spinoff series, then the mainline series in a few years will have a bunch of really poorly implemented currently popular mechanics or trends and then they'll all get shitcanned.

It's really sad because some quarterly reports just came out and these big AAA companies are making, or on track to make, literal billions per year on microtransactions. So it turns out if Respawn had just done the dumb lootbox thing they would have most likely made a mint and been able to possibly stay independent. Now they are hosed for actually doing the right thing. Capitalism.txt.

Capitalism.txt. drat man when you put it like that ok but really Respawn used the EA support for TF2 can they not at least just take a bit from momma's tit and do their own thing a la before? I mean sure it's inevitably doomed regardless, but.... C'mon just give me more of the same with more customization towards aesthetic via DLC/microtransactions and I'll throw all the money at you  Really I applaud them for going against the norm but they shot themselves in the foot with both the incredibly embarrassing delays on warpaints etc, and limited customization, esp with pilots/classes. New camos and executions I can wait on but when prime titans take like 8 months or whatever and taunt you with the "UNAVAILABLE RN" 🤔🤔🤔🤔 really they should add emotes like Destiny 2 does (with at least a wheel god damnit) and charge for those. Hell, I wouldn't mind them locking executions behind an insane grind and charging for them or just charging altogether. As long as it doesn't impact gameplay How's the new COD WW2 doing it anyways? I know some companies hosed themselves over with all that poo poo--Evolve--and it's fun to see. Sure there's other factors but yeah

I just hope they don't get hosed under EA's management even more. They made my favourite shooter in years, hell, I actually enjoyed the SP a bit more than Doom 2016 and the MP is brilliant, and this is coming from someone with thousands of hours between BF3/4/1.

Praying for this to be the single studio owned by a larger company to just be allowed to let rip and create whatever they want. I love Respawn and I'm hoping EA loves them enough to provide them with poo poo but to leave them alone to do stuff with it.

I'm sure Respawn will be fine, just like all the other companies that have been acquired by EA *touches ear*...I've just been informed those companies were all dismantled for parts and their employees all had their hearts torn out before being put on a metal rack and lowered into a pit of lava.

People are worried because developers owned by EA have revealed a pattern of having dumb poo poo imposed on their games and then getting shot in the back of the head as soon as their games start to only make $4 million instead of $5 million
