The first one was fun as hell, and I've been looking forward to this since the teaser (titan swords, eh?). Now that we've gotten more footage, I'm looking forward to it even more (the original game's movement plus sliding plus grappling hooks?!).

What makes you guys think this will be dead, I've seen nothing but good things about it. The only competition is COD and they didn't even show that off this year.

It launches in the week between Battlefield and COD. I think the fear is simply market oversaturation and the audience going for the more established franchises instead. I'd personally love to see it pushed back until March. :shrug:

Not too concerned about overlap with Battlefield 1 due to its WWI setting. Infinite Warfare is probably the main competition with its multiplayer gameplay being a bit similar (likely grappling hook, potentially sliding/wall-running, etc.)



EDIT:



Is... is that pilot a robot with two fox tails hanging off of its head? :crossarms:

Newer players wouldn't know this cause they changed how the "campaign" works. Previously, there used to be a preramble to each "mission" of the campaign that fleshed out the story a bit while the match was loading. That seems to have been removed when they changed the campaign so you could drop in at any point, which is a bummer but hey, the campaign is more accessible.

That's a shame. I enjoyed doing the campaign every now and then. v:shobon:v

The last one did till they hosed everything up with the DLC.

Looks like they saw good results with their eventual release of Titanfall 1's DLC for free:

Respawn posted:

All Maps, Modes, and More are Free After Launch

No Season Pass required: all maps & modes will be free in Titanfall 2 Multiplayer. This means no splitting up the community and it all starts with the legendary Angel City map, remastered from the original Titanfall. This means once you’ve purchased Titanfall 2, your investment includes a full single player campaign, the full multiplayer maps and modes, and long-term support with no hidden costs. You can pre-order the game to play 3 days early, but it will never cost you extra.

One of the maps doesn't even have drop-ship intros I think, it takes place in a canyon.

There's at least one map without intros, and it makes me sad every time. :(


I'm also sad about how terrible I am at this game compared to the first one.

The Titanfall prequel is looking like it's going for slightly slower gameplay.

I just finished the fantastic press Q to time travel levels. This game's campaign is really great so far

Am I ready for frontier defense or are there other mechanics/important skills to learn that don't come up until later?

You can jump into Frontier Defense at any point, but you should finish the campaign simply due to it being pretty drat fun. Also, the campaign does introduce some characters from Frontier Defense technically.

Everyone should play the campaign. :colbert:

Remember also that EA has a stipulation that means Titanfall 3 will most likely be done in the Frostbite Engine so who knows what that will mean.

PC or Console, cause I imagine it would be harder to pick it up on PC

I play on PC but from my couch, which means I'm using a controller. I've always been average-at-best when it comes to shooters, but I still manage to land in the middle of the scoreboards pretty frequently and I have a blast doing it. :shrug:

I hope Titanfall 3 plays just as well with controller.

all moot points imo everyone in here seems fine with BR and just pissed at the lack of TF elements in something called TF

It might not be, though. As far as I've heard, it's just Apex Legends. I guess we'll see if that's proceeded by "Titanfall presents" or some such, but Respawn has been speaking since the very beginning about taking their world into other styles of games and even into other mediums.

Yeah, this argument falls a bit flat because the Titans are the most recognizable part of the world thus far, but I'm interested to see Respawn stretch out. :shrug:

Not just console. I play pretty casually on PC, with a controller (hooray couch gaming), and still have a blast. I'm usually in the mid-to-top third on the leaderboards - though I really only play Attrition. v:shobon:v
