He doesn't play on console, but was using a XIM on ps4 for the tech test.
I think the thing people don't get is that a high precision input device also has a nonexistent margin for error.

Agreed with most of this. Halo 5 aiming is abominable. I love the gameplay, but it's the only fps where I can aim to save my life. TF2 felt pretty solid in this regard.

Yep. I actually enjoy the game and do well in arena, but I can't dedicate myself to playing as the funky ass aim screws me up in almost every other game I play.
@Rayme
Thank you for addressing the aim concern. I wasn't a huge fan of the beta, but you guys have been class acts through the whole thing. It definitely means something.
Wow.
They done goofed on H5's controls in comparison to other Halo's. But if you've never dealt with worse controls, you myst not have played any OG Xbox FPS not called Halo.
Wolfenstien, soldier of fortune: double helix, and time splitters 2 still haunt me to this day. (But only because I was spoiled by halo). Perfect Dark Zero had pretty terrible controls too.

Dude... Return to castle wolfenstein was great. Never had problems with the controls and I played that on OG xbox for a long time.
Played better on PC of course. And W:ET... mmm
Those are all old games (which I have played). Speaking from a modern perspective Halo 5 has the worst aiming. Don't get me wrong, I love the game, but it completely fucks up my aim for all other games. And if I play other shooters, I become garbage at H5.
There is definitely something wonky with the aim - don't think I am trashing the game, though.
Bet you the city has all its buildings in rubble and it's an open map.

It's not like TF1 lacked open maps. Boneyard anyone? I even liked that map.
I'm not sure if Boneyard counts as open... Almost all minion spawns, CTF, Hardpoints etc. were in buildings

The top point cap point (held flag in ctf, large capture area for hardpoint) was in an open area titans could move freely through. So yeah. It was like an island map for pilots and large titan controlled areas. Sounds familiar.

And you will Pre-order the game an hour before it come out saying guys I couldn't do it, I had to Pre-order for angel city. BUT till oct 27 you wont stop BITCHING to the world fuck Respawn I'm not preordering this shit. Make up your god damn mind, i swear you said you hated most of the decisions they made with R2 so why bother with this game. Unless this is what you do.
C point?
It had an entrance to the lower part of the map at back. Pilots could also easily hide in that very room to cap etc. and the inside was large enough for one nuclear to kill any Titans. It was a single small room.
At the very least, this isn't the sort of open we have a problem with in R2.
What the hell dude? Put me on ignore if you don't want to see any impressions of mine.

They should put it in every single Titanfall game till the end of time.
Kind of like what Treyarch does with Nuketown. Except that Nuketown is shit.

What are you offering as a wager for this bet?
I thought the same thing, imagining all the windows boarded up. They know what was good about the map exactly so I think thy won't mess with it.

Nuketown is crazy fun! I could play that all day.

So it had an entrance? I don't see your point. It is still a large open map with islands for pilots and large open areas for titans. The cap point is large enough to accommodate titan play as well. It very much contradicts the idea that all maps will be like the PRE-ALPHA maps experienced in a tech test and the whole narrative that titanfall never had maps like them.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
My 2nd favorite map in the game, right behind War Games.
Also hope this game ends up getting a map based on or inspired by the aesthetics of the sequel's training level. I really liked the way it looked.

Angel City and War Games are good but Lagoon is GOAT
Also, short video of a game I joined that I feel had a nice flow

Hm, making Angel City the first free map means it won't be available at launch- which doesn't alleviate my worries about all the maps that will be.
I guess it means Respawn acknowledges that most players didn't like the maps in the tech test, but I wonder if they're going to try to fix them up before release (if they even can, the game comes out in two months).

War Games, Boneyard, Homestead. Same designer.
Boneyard was originally created when the game was Titan-centric (you used to start in a Titan, and then could call in a new one 30 or so after your Titan died). It was reimagined when Pilots became a central part of the game. Corporate went through the same thing.

That's kind of amazing since Wargames is one of my favorite maps and Homestead is what it is...
Also any reason you guys wouldn't at least allow us the option to disable aim assist in private matches?
Haha I can't help but laugh at how pointlessly aggressive this shit is for no reason. Criticism of a beta where the devs requested feedback is apparently very upsetting.

Angel City DLC is fantastic news.
I hope more maps on disc are more like Angel City and less like Homestead and Kodai.

On Reddit, Slothy says it's true to the original so there's that.
Applesauce
Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Well I never would have guessed that.
And if memory serves, Gulag and Cliffhanger in MW2, and Bailout in MW2 DLC1. Also Airbase and Relic in Titanfall.
Applesauce
Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Airbase was always hit or miss with me but Relic is one of my favorites. Unfortunately I didn't get to play MW2 due to being broke AF for a couple of years, :sadface.
Any chance there will be a video for the next 3 maps that have yet to be revealed on the official site? Something like the preview videos you released for the DLC maps from the first game, which gave a pretty good summary of all 3 maps. I really want to preorder the game but the tech test maps left much to be desired.

They bumped it up for TF1, right? I need to know these things since I'll be planning vacation time around TF2.
Wait, I think BF1 is launching 2 weeks prior. I should be good then.

I know they are two totally different games, but I enjoyed my time with Titanfall 2 more than I did Battlefield 1.

Just played another aimbotter in TF1 (ironically going by the handle developert2 who at the end was trying to convince people that he was Slothy). Just want to make it known if it was not already that some kind of anti-cheat would be appreciated for TF2. Thanks.
Some of my impressions from the beta coming in fresh from not playing TF1 or call of Duty in the last deacde.

Any news on Attrition in TF2?
Hard to play any shooter after Titanfall lol

It was hard to play any COD or BF after Titanfall. But there are still tons of great FPS/TPS out there.
Dirty Bomb
Overwatch
Paladins (for a while at least, it kinda took a bad turn but then again it's still being developed)
Nosgoth (shut down, but had some great stuff)
CSGO
These are just a couple that come to mind. It's probably a lot dryer on the consoles though. Whelp, PC FPS are still pretty great.

Map is gorgeous. Seriously most of the TF1 maps were amazing and intricate. The TF2 test maps all seem so bad in comparison to every TF1 map, they were so small feeling, while somehow being hugely open and limiting to the movement system.
Even the wide open map design like the boneyard was set up with so much parkour potential, so many places to take cover and go.
TF1 maps were filled with lot of differing elements, the three TF2 maps we've been given so far are essentially flat with lots of open areas and little vertical game play potential

Yeah BO3 is... frustrating. That actually brings up a point regarding the new fly-girl Titan. BO3 has a lot of shitty invisible walls that bat you down if you get even remotely competent with its wall running mechanics. I'm worried that the flying Titan is going to run into the same bullshit. Like the two bank bases in Homestead are clearly designed as no-Titan-zones. I'm guessing you're going to run into invisible walls and not be able to fly into the base. I'm hoping I'm wrong here.
Boneyard is visually a really cool map but I just played it for the first time in a while... and is it really any better than the TF2 maps we've played? The huge tower in the back leads to even more annoying players than the tiny middle tower in Homestead. The parkour routes are pretty thin, though the zip lines help quite a bit.
