It's just ok. I think they need to bring parkour into it and give every character a grappling hook.

Thanks for the recap, champ, doesn't change that for 99.9999% of us that aren't EA Shareholders this absolutely eats it

I'll admit I mostly ignored TF1 until I got it for way cheap (was never into COD games), and it turned out to be awesome, my bad. TF2 was sent out because EA hoped to strike at COD while it was looking weak and cannibalized sales of their own game.

Vince actually chose TF2s release date because he thought it could genuinely compete with BF & CoD.

Big streamers have played it at EA events and given feedback. Apparently, it's very good (if you like BR) and does a few new things with the mode.

Yeah, being unique is never a smart move, let's just copy some of the biggest games in the world right now and try and chip away at that consumer base to get those big bucks. Sounds like it's a sure-fire way to make bank.

Played a round as a robot with the grappling hook. Couldn't find any weapons except for a grenade. Teammates kept stealing anything that I could use. Tried double jumping, wall running, and being fast. Couldn't do any of those three. Died from a lagged out sniper shot. Total playtime was 5 minutes but it felt like it was 5 hours with how slow everything was. Uninstalled it. I'll just stick with TF2. Battle Royale is such a stupid game mode, it should have been packaged with other game modes because like hell I'm going to spend most of my limited time wasting it with weapon hunts and being slow as gently caress.

Interest level in titanless movement crippled BR game zero. What an utterly shocking and not at all predictable move which EA had absolutely no hand in no sir. Much later edit: Tried this out on a friends computer and I was completely wrong about how fun this is. Not a great Titanfall game, but a decent BG game for sure. Would still prefer TF3

Played a round. Felt awful. Not like "Titanfall 2 just without wallrunning" since TF2 had amazing-feeling movement but like it was an entirely different engine and game. If I didn't know who the dev team was I would never guess it was by Respawn. Baffling. On top of that it has exactly the same drawbacks as your average Battle Royale game and the unique gimmicks do nothing to lift it up. It tries a few new things (you can revive teammates by recovering their corpses and making a risky trip to a respawn device) and the map has a lot more verticality than Blackout but that's it. Edit: It doesn't even look good! TF games had nice little sci-fi thing going on that while a little generic was still recognisable and cool and they even tossed that out!

Maybe this game needs it's own thread so the Goons bitter that this isn't TF3 have their own place to commiserate, and new people who passed over TF2 might be able to find it.

I've played a few rounds, and it seems pretty fun! The weapons in particular sound and look fantastic, really chunky boomy sounds. Yeah, there's no wallrunning, but there are ziplines throughout the map, movement is decently speedy, and you can slide all over the place and down inclines. Inventory management seems a bit clunky, it's gonna take some getting used to. I also don't know why throwing a grenade can't just have a hotkey. You select it and then press shoot to throw it, and it's clunky and annoying. I can't see a way in the controls to just hotkey it. I'm also not that keen on it forcing you to play with a team - I can't see why a solo mode wouldn't work. Overall though, it's fun and a decent change of pace to the other BR games on the market. It plays most similarly to Blackout, but there's enough to differentiate it for it to be worth a shot, and free's free. Having to unlock characters is Real Bad though - there are already 50 gajillion cosmetics to buy ffs.

Everybody would be fine with it if it had the good movement, it's not that it's not TF3 it's that they took a butcher's cleaver to the game and ripped out its heart and soul.
