No because the game is designed around AI being in there alongside human players.

The clouds will have guns and serve as extra players.
It's COD with mechs and wall jumping. That changes everything apparantly.

We get it, this game isn't for you.
The last of Us MP has some of the most epicest moments I've played for MP on my PS3 and its only 4vs4.
It does move alot slower though and is more of a tactical teambased third person cover shooter so that's factions excuse.
Not sure how titanfall would play like, but I'm not too concerned since I'm not getting it anyways.
I honestly prefer having smaller teams than larger teams. Makes the combat feel much more personal IMO.
Good, lower player counts usually are more balanced and require more of each player for team success. With blown up player counts, level design usually suffers and each players impact on the game is marginalized. 6v6 sounds good to me.
Hopefully PC gets options and mod tools so you can do high player count matches on custom maps, but I highly doubt anything like that is in place for launch, if ever.

So do the AI troops also get Titans or are they just going to run around making for fun cannon fodder?
This kind of trash is exactly what makes playing CoD4 on PC such a colossal pain in the ass these days.
No servers cap at 12, the player numbers these games were built around, or even 18, but rather at fucking 40. So finding a proper server with proper player counts is always a case of thumbing through server lists and hoping the server you join doesn't balloon up or die down too much.
I was personally hoping they'd ditch the CoD phonebooth style action. Doesn't appeal to me in the slightest, as a Battlefield player.
They are grunts. A step below the players, who are pilots.
Not necessarily. Look at Dota. There there are hundreds if AI on that map. Does that mean that Dota would play better with a lot more than 10 players?

More like the Xbox One holding them back. Guess the power of the cloud just isnt enough to meet the standard 18-24 players in a room. Can't pretend that the limitations of the X1 hardware doesn't factor into something like that. Guess we'll all have to wait for the sequel to come out on the PS4 to experience the definitive version of the game probably with 18-24 players in a room with everything else running at the same time.

I don't know really, some large scale player games I have experienced have been a mess and then I look at the fun I had with Gears online and currently with Shadow Fall. Depends on the design I suppose. The any excuse to knock it is ridiculous.

Good, I was hoping it wouldn't be too chaotic. I expect a lot of bashing about this in the coming months up until launch, but the last thing I want is a bunch of randomness going on from a ton of players.

The AI in the game fill a completely different role than real players. That is like suggesting a MOBA like DOTA2's fodder minions should be played by players.
As far as I'm aware, AI troops can't wallrun, double jump, or call down Titans. They're just fodder.

Not sure how I feel about having a bunch of AI running around a competitive online game. I'd prefer to have everyone be a real player, though I admit I have no idea what they have planned in terms of design for this game. I'll also be buying Titanfall without hesitation for my Xbox One.
I guess the responses will be more negative since the game is online only.
I think the player count is find options for higher counts would be a good idea though for others.

I hope this is satire...is it satire? I'm going back and forth about it.

Last few times I've played it's been generally quite easy to get lower player count games but yeah you're right, there's a lot of those type of servers. Good thing is, if we really wanted to we could host our own COD4 server since that was one of the last COD games to let players do that
Could you explain that?
It doesn't change everything, but it changes enough to give those who have grown tired of the CoD-formula something to be excited about again.

I'm not even a fan of this game, but why is 6v6 low, exactly? Sounds like a nice tightly knit experience, and not a clusterfuck.
Are the AI in Titanfall designed to replicate humans or do they do things a human couldn't?
If they are there just to replicate humans and fill out the map then presumably it'd be better to have the real deal no?
Much players
I'd say it definitely depends on match sizes and how good the matchmaking works.
In huge maps like in starhawk, things often got disorienting as I had no idea where my team was and what they were doing. Then other maps that are small were ridiculously packed with people when it hit the full 16vs 16 and become even more disorienting as you had to be aware from every direction and whos targetting who.

Hmmm, that sounds like it could be quite cool. If they do this whole dedicated server stuff properly -- and they can since it's online-only -- then they could have a bunch of AI running around giving a sense of scale.

You guys compare it to CoD (6v6) but... they don't have large mechs, large open spaces with jetpacks and walljumps to move around so maps will be much larger yet player count is really low.
I also like how people think the ones who say 6v6 is small assume they want 16v16 or 32v32. 8v8 would be a nice improvement.

Player Count =/= Quality
Shove 32 people into a 12 person map and chaos ensues. As long as it's designed for 12 people and it's not a technical constraint I'm fine with this.

People are really attempting to claim this has something to do with hardware when there is another shooter on the very same console with 64 player count and better graphics? Really?

There are a lot of people on this forum who are desperately grasping for reasons to put this game down. Never mind that COD is 6v6...
You are far too reasonable for this thread.

Yeah, exactly. Hopping into Big Team Battle is fun from time to time, but 90% of my play time is in 4v4 or 5v5 game types. I'm cool with more games being built around small teams.
Bigger is not necessarily tantamount to better. No need for a conspiracy theory to what can easily just be chalked up to intended game design.
LOL, what a joke of a post.
You're serious? OMG LOL this thread is amazing. I think this is one for the ages, let's archive it and look back on it in a few hundred years so we can show our great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandchildren why the human race failed and now lives on a dead planet.
Seriously, is this real? Please tell me you are joking, PLEASE!!! I guess Uncharted is linear because the PS3 doesn't have the power to do open world games lol. Oh.My.God.
