I guess, but there should be an option to play without them too.

This is it really, with any gun the bots are easy, its just the smart pistol is good at a particular range on them with mobility.
With a sniper rifle you can destroy a whole bot squad in seconds from across the map, with a shot gun you can wipe them all out in seconds with 1 tor 3 shots at close range (depends on how they're clustered together) and with a carbine/SMG you can take them all out in seconds while standing still at mid to close range without taking a hit.
With any gun a squad of bots can be wiped out in seconds, and every gun has a use in various pilot vs pilot matchups due to how each can be used.
How are people liking Last Titan Standing? I queue for the Beta Variety Pack so I get a bunch of modes but I really like Last Titan Standing. It feels awesome and my titan movement got a lot better after a few rounds playing that, translating well into the other modes. I still have trouble scouting out pilots that are locked on to me even though I'm staring straight in their direction, but I guess that's just a practice thing.
I don't know about the Xbox version but on PC the rocket launcher takes, well, I stopped counting at 4 or 5 shots. I don't even bother unless the titan is engaged with another one. It might as well launch ostrich feathers at them.

Dunno if I can go back to playing regular FPS games after experiencing this kind of movement. I spend most of my games just jumping around buildings.
Hmm, I find that incredibly hard to believe you don't feel any similarities. Anyway, to each their own. Glad you are enjoying it.

Just had my best match and yeah...it was awesome. Love the shotgun, is really good on the map with lot of buildings.
Is disabled on the beta
Turn down the visuals. Seems like the game is not very well optimized right now.

Yeah I already knew about that. The problem is that I cannot log into my origin account through ea Help to finish the submission because the website is broken. Login screen returns a white screen with no form to fill out
Edit: Turns out i dont need to. Found an email buried even deeper with the PC code

Slow you down? How so? You can run right up to them, tell them a story about your day, then just kick them all to death before they wake up. They're worthless. I'd prefer to just have skilled players duke it out. Reward the good players with Titans. The fodder excuse just sounds like you're trying to hard to not be critical.

As someone who is tired of what CoD has become but still enjoys BF4, I can say I'm not all that impressed. I'll still buy it to play with friends but I highly doubt this is going to be the "next big thing" for me.
And I do not like the AI bots. Killing them gives no satisfaction and they end up feeling like clutter without actually making the battlefield feel alive. I've already started ignoring them unless I just trip over one and can melee it. Even with the boost to your Titan cooldown, they simply aren't fun to interact with.

For me, it's mostly the weapons is what feels CoD'esque. And to say that gunplay "is only one aspect" of the games, well, that is the core of gameplay. So, yeah, it makes sense to compare them. CoD has always felt very stale in regard to weapon, and weapon feedback, Titanfall feels the same to me. From FPS weapon view and animation, to recoil and aiming, it feels like CoD. There's no personality. It's just how it feels to me. This is an impressions thread, right? Those are my impressions, and I don't think they are off-base in the slightest, as others seem to agree.
I do feel as if I came off a bit defensive in my response about the "CoD with mechs" reply, and apologize. I'm not trying to piss on anyone that is enjoying the beta, but it's just not for me. So, I'll just leave it at that.

Such a good round of Attrition. I felt like a badass in my Titan

It feels exactly like CoD. This game is still an FPS at it's core and the core is 100% CoD. When I hold down the left trigger and pull the right trigger there is no distinguishable difference. Same lack of recoil and weight.
Turn off vsync in game. It causes what appears to be frame stutter/slow down even though fraps will show 60fps.
Turn on vsync in nvidea control panel (or whatever it is for that other brand) and the game runs much more smoothly.

Just got my key.
Except it's for xbone and not pc, so I have to do the "up to 2 hour wait" conversion.
Which is cool, except Origin is hammered, so I can't log in to submit my key. -_-

I'm surprised you could get a feel for it in 2 rounds. There's so much there. Oh well.
No your completely right, and you deserve props for apologizing over your previous comment, though it really wasn't that defensive compared to other posts I've read. I just wanted to hear your impressions on what brought you to your opinion.
Personally, as someone whose played both, I disagree to the extent of it being like call of duty outside of the gunplay. This game has heavy emphasis on parkour, Mechs (Titans), a.i. bots (for better or worse depending on your perspective). I think when you add all these up, you get a game that ultimately plays very differently to COD. Virtually no camping in what I played so far (this is due to the parkour), no overabundance of perks, no countless killstreaks that pound the enemy team. We'll see if this remains the case when the full game releases, but I'm liking the direction the game is going for now.

I had the same problem but found the PC key email buried in my gmail. so have a dig, you might get lucky.
I've been playing since yesterday and I'm already pretty burnt out of this game. I don't think I'm going to buy it now. Maybe later when it get cheaper. But right now. It just feel like another FPS with mech and parkour.
I think I'm going to play my vita now. Persona 4 Golden is waiting for me.

I only got one email.
What gets me about this issue is that Steam wouldn't have buckled under the pressure. Thanks, Origin. =|
server issues? since yesterday it's been smoothing sailing..
the parkour is so fucking smooth it's ridiculous. these are our next mirrors edge gods.

I had this earlier, it kept sending my ping sky high and then kicked me to the main menu. Played just now and it was perfect, weird
This is Microsoft's fault since the servers are provided by Azure. Origin isn't very heavily involved.
The smart pistol also makes for a strong spotting tool. If an enemy is somewhat obscured by debris or they have elevation and you can't see them immediately, the smart pistol gives you an instant indication of where they are even if you don't get a full lock-on on them.
Upgrading it with the enhanced targeting mod gives it less spotting utility but then greatly increases its lock-on speed and range.
I still generally prefer to stick with the SMG myself, but I wouldn't be surprised if the smart pistol is toned down a bit before release.

Origin is the thing that I'm trying to log into right now in order to get my PC, not Azure.
Definitely not smooth sailing for me. Attempting to even play the tutorial or online has forced my PC to hard lock for 10+ minutes during the loading screen before I could finally forcibly close it. Server time out/disconnect errors are common.

Last Titan Standing is great until you realize how OP electric smoke is in that game mode. Have a team split up and flank from both sides to meet the enemy team in the middle, and pop electric smoke while spamming melee and throwing everything including the kitchen sink at them.
Equip nuclear ejection for the added lulz.
and parkour.

I dunno what I did to fix it but I had that error many, many times before it finally decided to work. :/

So I got the burn card that allowed me to call in a Stryder Titan. Holy crap, that thing is amazing. Zipping around the map in a titan is so much fun. I had a feeling I was going to like the Stryder more than the Atlas, and this confirmed it.
Also, having a base of 3 dashes helps a lot for quick harassing attacks.
I can't wait to see in the final game when all three types of Titans are running around on the same field.

Same thing happened to me, is that a mistake? Does anyone with an XBone want my key?

Runs fine on my PC, which is no surprise, GTX 770 and all. The game is exciting, and super kinetic, but I think it might have been too much for me. I don't like any of the guns, and the wall running is fun to do but I didn't see good places to do it in the map, but I'm assuming I'm just not familiar enough with the maps to make it work well.
I might buy it if it wasn't coming out on the same day as Dark Souls II, but by the time I get to playing Titanfall everybody will be incredibly good, and it won't be fun to play anymore.

I turned a bunch of stuff down so I can get that sweet, sweet 120fps
I've managed to get it so it's pretty steady 120 at all times, with a 680/i5 2500k.
Settings:
1920x1080, FOV 90
MSAA - 0x
Texture Res - Medium
Lighting - High
Shadows - Disabled
Effects Detail - Low
Model Detail - Medium
Impact Marks - Low
Ragdoll - High
I could probably turn a couple things up a bit and still maintain 120 (something like Impact Marks is likely to be trivial as far as FPS, though it's also worthless), but eh. I first played the game at 60fps with everything turned up and didn't think it was some particularly amazing-looking thing, and with multiplayer shooters, FPS > *.
Coming from a Quake background, I wouldn't particularly have any qualms with turning everything to its lowest so long as it doesn't affect visibility.

It is not satisfying in any way to eat the dots in Pac-Man yet it's a core element of the game.
