I mean depending on the loadout of your pilot you basically already had bloodhound, pathfinder and wraith. It's not that much of a stretch

Titanfall 2 was good at being serious during the story but playful in multi without devolving into memes and "gamer humor", which was nice.

I guess titanfall is a hero shooter already in the same way that any fps with classes/abilities is one, such as battlefield v or insurgency. But to prefer to not have the little quips and quirks that the apex characters entail. Plus I find a lot of the designs, like the bloodhound or the borderlands dude who blew his legs off, to be clashing with titanfall proper. I don’t think of titanfall as some super gritty war game or whatever but i don’t think of it as apex’s style and tone either.

Also mrvn was a lot more endearing and cute when he didn’t talk.

Exactly, "your CO is drunk and cheering you on" or "the robot can't get a high-five" is playful and fun. Now imagine your CO is Claptrap. Yikes, right?

The titans had all the personality, the pilots are just a means to an end. See Ronin and papa scorch

If tricking a bunch of the F2P Apex players into buying TF3 with Apex characters makes it marketable then whatever man drop a Titan on 'em.

Hey I guess the DDOS attacks stopped, maybe they fixed it or more likely the attacker got bored but Titanfall 2 is definitely playable on PC now. Player count at midnight was at 6k, I’ve seen numbers as high as 10k earlier in the week. So if you’re looking to play TF2 again now would be a good time before who knows when it’ll be attacked again.

What does it look like when the game is being DDOSed? I redownloaded it, but now I never seem to actually connect to the respawn servers, it just sits forever waiting. Can't even open multiplayer.

You've got to know the rules before you can break 'em. Otherwise, it's no fun.


On PS5 I fired it up and disconnected from the server before I chose a game mode. Then I tried again and started Frontier Defense and was in a game less than a minute later. Played the whole game out just fine. (With idiots)

Are you on a PC and do you happen to be on a 10th Gen or Up CPU processor?



I just put together a new PC and I was having this same exact issue. It's apparently something with the newer CPUs and you have to do some weird stuff to get the servers to display.

https://www.reddit.com/r/titanfall/comments/owpoyf/multiplayer_was_locked_for_me_with_my_new_build/

quote:

Press Win + E or open File Explorer, right-click on “This PC,” and choose “Properties. Click on “Advanced System Settings.” Under the Advanced tab, choose “Environment Variables.” Under “System variables,” click on “New.” In the “Variable name” box, type this: OPENSSL_ia32cap In the “Variable value” box, type this: ~0x200000200000000 Then click on “OK.” Confirm the addition of the variable to the “System variables” list and choose “OK.”

Seems weird but yeah it worked after I did this.

Be careful about this. I'd clear the environment variable immediately after you're done playing.

Brother just got a new Xbox and I bought him Titanfall 2 to break it in (and so I hopefully have people to play with), but since yesterday I have not been able to get in any attrition matches on PC. Wait time will jump from second to minutes, and then I get disconnected. Is this the new norm? And is Xbox in the same situation?

Game is still on its last legs thanks to the hackers from a while back.

But you might have better luck on PC using the Northstar mod that replaces the master server and even has a server browser.

didn't that end up being a ruse and it was actually a korean studio trying to get Respawn to let them make a titanfall (gacha) MMO or something like that?

it was even more insane and delusional than the actual stories, because even if that's something that would ever happen, ddos'ing their games (including the cash-cow Apex Legends) is literally the exact opposite of what would endear you to respawn/EA.

Titanfall 2 plays incredibly well on the Steam Deck, if anyone was wondering. I haven't tried the Northstar mod or even know if it'll work on Deck, but I'll try and give it a go.

There should actually be a lawsuit over this. It's been broken now for, what, 18 months? 2 years? The game's multiplayer worked for less than half a decade, totally unacceptable.

Edit: my legal opinions aside, this would keep me from buying the new Titanfall at full price. I would just assume that these psychos are going to go after it and they'll do nothing.

If they were going to make a new Titanfall game I'm pretty sure they would throw a decent team behind it. New games get tons of support these days.

Funnily enough Apex Legends was the game that gave Titanfall 2 the last surge of players. The hacking of the servers was the last nail in the coffin.
