Was also gone for 6 months without a computer. What's going on with multiplayer? Skimming news articles of looks like some hackers did some stuff and multiplayer is all but impossible now? Or is it only some days? I know I haven't been able to load for 2 days now; I joined during the great steam sale influx of players and it was super fun and it's a shame if you can't play anymore...

Only some days, I was able to play a few days last week, but the attacks have picked back up this week.

Kind of a brilliant move to force the devs hand. Tons of articles popped up and now they have to actually do something.

How are the servers lately? still disconnecting from DDoS?

Matches are stable but you'll occasionally be dropped while waiting for the next match.

Someone got into the GeForce Now Database and found a placeholder for Titanfall 3 and a couple of other games.

Not saying it's real, but it would be nice!

It's listed as titanfall3_apex_legends in the actual leaked data, so it's just Apex rather than a proper TTF 3 :(

It could also be a double feature considering it's the same engine, and this could be the story (Fall of Gridiron) that links the Titanfall series to the events of Apex.

Yeah I really don’t get what people are backlashing against here lol.

Some people just want non-descript military mans fighting a brutal war where giant robots rip pilots out of machines and squeeze them till they pop.

They don't want D.Va cutely voicing 'meow meow' while flashing the peace sign and shooting baddies.


I get the annoyance with character shooters because zaniness always creeps in, but I would be fine if TF3 had player characters that were closer to the faction-leaders of TF2.

It’ll be a Tribes game, actually.

TribesFall would be the best crossover considering it's already halfway there.

Scared the crap out of some pilot that was stuck in a dual with a teammate. Dudes were going back and forth for like a minute trying to shoot each other and I ran up and executed the guy with Inner Pieces.

Said he screamed when his character unexpectedly exploded.



Dead game is good game.

Apex dropped a small story that actually references Titanfall pilots (and includes a passing shot of an Titan)

Check it out here: https://youtu.be/JRRJQp2Bdwo

It also clears up any confusion with the planet Gridiron, spoiler: the whole planet is carpet-bombed.

They need to ride the Apex wave and make tf3 with characters from the game instead of regular pilots. Just have the mechs sort of look like them and have upgraded abilities/ passives

This is pretty much what the TF2 story
ending was implying:

Jack Cooper murdered all of Blisk's elite pilots. Blisk starts the Apex games to find the best and most intelligent fighters to replace his stock.

His mercenary squad is literally called The Apex Predators.

If/when TF3 happens, I imagine we'll see the results of the Apex games. Unless it's the story of Gridiron.

it made the game a lot better (albeit yeah I imagine it just demolished the devs idea of how the game would play) and iirc you could take like 5 seconds to trivially install a txt file in the install directory that let you just hold down space to ski, but yeah when stuff like that comes out it needs to be incorporated asap into the base game or you rapidly end up with a situation where half of the playerbase is missing vital parts of the movement toolkit

It's still too complex a concept for the average gamer to learn. Tribes: Ascend incorporated sliding from the get-go and yet pubbies legged it across the map.

These days, there's a movement skill ceiling in modern games that corresponds to what you can do on a controller, get too complex/fast and players will skip it.
Which is probably why we'll never see another Unreal Tourney.

I miss FPS games with set weapons and not an enormous line up of weaponry you need to spend weeks unlocking along with further weeks grinding to unlock the attachments to try and make them as good as the ones being used to kill you over and over.

I just want to play an FPS that's accessible pretty much straight away, no added nonsense to try and artificially extend playtime...

Titanfall 2 is so good it absolutely has ruined anything else since for me.

Level progression/unlock culture hits so many serotonin/dopamine receptors that we'll probably never see the old days of one and done in AAA titles.

Grind forever kiddos!

I think I’ve bought this game like 4 times now for every platform I owned in some dorky attempt to show my support

Respawn probably used this money to create a weapon reskin that costs $160 to acquire.

Nearly every game ever made feels stilted compared to Titanfall 2 tho.

Imo Source Engine and GoldSRC have always been the king of FPS movement, Titanfall adding wall-running to that was icing on the cake.

Spitfire is such a fun and rage inducing gun. Nothing like the entire enemy team desperately trying to dislodge you from your spot.

I like to combine it with the Smart Pistol so the movement-kiddies also rage out.

only if they keep using modified Source or Source 2 imo

They should also use the volumetric smoke from CS2 for the Electric Smoke. It'd be so badass to see a Titan dashing through it, leaving a massive hole before filling in.

It'd make more sense if it was some Tone rockets, a railgun round, or really any Titan sized weaponry.

Totally agree that it's dumb for bullets though.
