Since I was given a free month of Origin Access I decided to check out the multiplayer on this, after having only played the single player early this year. I assumed the Australian servers would be totally dead, with no one on there - to my surprise, nope, it's still quite possible to get a game. In fact, I'd say it's only about as difficult to get a game as it is in Quake Champions! And it's just as fun as people have said. Although while I'm pretty decent at the pilot v pilot combat, I am loving hopeless at titans.

It's a different mindset entirely. Pilot vs Pilot is like (good) Call of Duty but with wallrunning. Titan vs Titan plays like Overwatch.

from a position of

i used to be pretty good in MP but i've squandered any gunplay skills i once had to chase executions instead.

I'm left handed so run Southpaw and roll claw style. It's weird for others to watch but it suits me just fine. I tried bumper jumper but ultimately reverted back after a few hours.

It's not bad actually, aim is left stick so I'm never hindered by having to use the buttons with my right hand/aim with the right stick at the same time. Awkward but that's about it.

There is a TF2 goon community but lots of people left it when the game died down and I don’t know if the people left in it play anymore. We could resurrect it. I believe you can openly join.

I've been trying, there's a few chiefs or what have you that keep loving me over so occasionally I'll get a message saying another of my friends has avenged me... :v:

It's interesting to see who people got slain by though and I'm guessing it's usually in similar circumstances to me, it's mainly me having a ruck with a huge group of orcs and there's a couple of ranged ones sat offscreen plinking away. Pricks.

I'll try and get on for some Titanfall later, I still have some of your guys on my list.

I’m not trolling i’m serious about all of my statements! I just care about the genre of military science-fiction which we have been starved of for years in games and film.

Titanfall 1 was innovative and cinematic in terms of giving players a sense of being part of a believable war in the future. There is no current or former equivalent to it in the genre, as much of a rough draft as it was, especially not online. I think most of you are just happy with the same old year-in, year-out kind of sequels. If TF3 came out with the same online MP as 2 but a few new maps and titans you would all be praising it, without demanding any better.

Runa

As the first pc goon to make it to g10 in Titanfall 1, no, it really wasn't.

It was almost kind of cinematic but TF2's campaign was better in every way, especially since you didn't need to rely on mp queues to progress it. And no amount of incidental verisimilitude can make up for it taking place in a series of clearly "designed," relatively compact arenas (compact at least in titan scale) with clear zones for player engagement.

Who the gently caress played Titanfall 1 and thought it was "an immersive war experience" lmao

I meant that in the sense of visualising a full-scale human vs. human war and through the mission-based storytelling which most multiplayer games completely lack. The scripted elements (orbital railguns, towers collapsing, leviathans stomping around), insertion/evac by dropship, ship fleets overhead, drop pods to deploy troops and mechs from orbit, radio chatter, robotic drones, all of the environmental details add up. Halo/Gears offer little of that, plus they are not utilitarian in aesthetics like TF1, so what else is there?

The titan gameplay itself was too spammy which spoiled it a bit I thought; for example there was no restriction on aiming speed, so titans could be whipped around at an unrealistic pace. But playing “boots on the ground” with a bit of wall running and sticking with grunt squads was as close to an immersive futuristic war you could get in a game. Only BF 2142 comes close and that was 2006.

It was an ignorable radio-play over deathmatch rounds. I liked Titanfall 1, and agree that its levels and Grunt count were grander in scale, but those AI enemies were still never anything more than fun score pinatas and frankly it sounds like you enjoyed TF1's atmosphere more than you enjoyed playing it if you rarely wall-ran and hung back with the bots. Map design aside, I definitely think TF2 improved on every aspect of its predecessor's gameplay while making you feel like a goddam Übermensch.

I slept on titanfall 2 because the marketing for 1 was bad and the game looked bland as hell, just cod but with big robots. When I finally picked up 2 I regretted immediately not getting it at launch

Tf1 had plenty of atmosphere sure but tf2 was just a better game to actually play, especially if you're comparing campaigns. Which had better atmosphere, plot, and even honest to goodness characters. And had the advantage of also being wild as hell.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.
