Support NeoGAF

[WaterAstro]

Not free.

It's included in the original price.

 

[SomTervo]

Clever girl

 

[SmokedMeat]

Good idea. After the poor lifespan of the first game's online community, they'd be nuts to charge money for extra content.

 

[jet1911]

Now just delay the game to Q1 and it may have a chance.

Fuck that. Delay BF1 instead. I need TF2 right now.

 

[Willy Wanka]

Absolutely the best way to do things. No doubt there will be a loot box style system for cosmetic items but that is vastly preferable to the alternative.

 

[RyudBoy]

Does this mean that the game will ship with little content like the first game?

 

[old]

I like what I'm hearing. But how long do they plan to support the game?

 

[vaderise]

I can't believe EA became a very decent company

 

[LucidMomentum]

I like what I'm hearing. But how long do they plan to support the game?

They supported Titanfall longer than most of the community did.

Since I'd rather cosmetics be paid than gameplay aspects like maps, etc this is good news.

 

[Gnome Scat]

Thank god, now I don't have to pay for all the DLC only for them to make it free later again.

 

[JimiNutz]

That's the sort of news that may sway me to pick this up first over BF1.

 

[MADGAME]

Dumb question - is this game restricted to first-person only or does the player have the option of switching? I'd give the game a chance if the latter applies.

 

[Bsigg12]

Always first person.

 

[psyfi]

Sweeeeeet

 

[MADGAME]

Always first person.

Thanks. Darn it, I'm out.

 

[Kibbles]

It's made Halo 5 multiplayer god tier. Glad that TF2 is following that. If BF1 does this, it'll be a golden age of FPS games.

I'm pretty frustrated with Hslo. I just want that Halo 2 Battle Rifle damnit. Still haven't unlocked it.

 

[Bsigg12]

It's soooooo good.

 

[RoboPlato]

Excellent to hear

 

[B1gg_Randall]

Good news.

 

[J-Rzez]

Definitely more good news. Can't wait for this game. The real question is how much content is in MP this time around though, as that was what killed the original. And I do mean killed it off as it had that little content.

 

[CHC]

If loot boxes / cosmetics / boosters / whatever are the cost for this, then I think it's worth it, speaking generally. Much better to keep the community on the same page than have it just fall apart over the years. It's always fun to come back to a game you put down to see what's new anyway.

 

[Dunkley]

Hopefully not that severe.

What is severe about having all gameplay relevant stuff unlocked from the get go and getting an infinite number of RNG loot boxes containing cosmetics for free just by playing the game?

 

[SuperDowns]

Holy shit yes! Thank you Respawn. The thing that hampers MP more than anything is splitting of playerbases based on map packs.

Depends how fast you earn the crates. The earn rate for crates in blops 3 is painfully slow and dupes don't pay out much at all it made me stop playing a game I enjoy.

I do hope they aren't selling burn cards some of those in titanfall one could be really powerful.

 

[NHale]

They have to do this because they need a unified playerbase and at the same time it will make them more money if they keep people engaged and the sharks buying loot crates.

 

[Peltz]

That Splatoon-style content drip is pretty cool. Glad to see EA embrace it.

 

[Tosyn_88]

Wait, you mean to tell me that EA would give extra content for free?? What sort of sorcery is this??

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Good to hear. As much as I have enjoyed playing the 3 COD Black Ops games, I've never bought a season pass.

This makes me even more likely to pick up Titanfall 2.

 

[TheBootyBandit]

Wow. Good move! Looking forward to playing this title.

 

[BattleMonkey]

yes!

 

[GodParticle]

Finally, they're getting it. Paying for maps always splits up the community

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Just means tons of micro trans.

 

[Archpath1]

Incoming white white blue white

 

[Strike]

Great news and keeps the player base from being split.

 

[Freeman]

That is the proper way to do it.

 

[sixteen-bit]

That's cool to hear

 

[SMG]

So it's gonna have paid loot boxes then.

Paid map packs always hurt my enjoyment of MP games, Loot/Micros being a solution to that is unexpected but welcome.

 

[SmackAttack]

Good news. Titanfall is one of the very few games I bought a Season Pass for (when it was on sale, mind you) but I'm very happy to hear this.

 

[IHaveIce]

Awesome

 

[Mixolydian]

God I wish this was the standard. Good on you, ladies and gents. Day one for me.

 

[barneystuta83]

There is a 'Digital Deluxe' Edition on Xbox One. https://store.xbox.com/en-GB/Xbox-O...-Edition/7537fc22-2127-4a2c-bd70-0bda12b21c99

For the extra £15 you get:

- One month of EA Access
- A 'Customisation Pack' for your Titan with 'instant access'

This and the free DLC leads me to think there will certainly be cosmetic paid for items. And, I am OK with this.

 

[Foxxsoxx]

Amazing news, I'm really glad this trend is starting to catch on.

 

[SwolBro]

Does this mean that the game will ship with little content like the first game?

thanks for the shit post. now there's the door.

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Map DLC won't cost anything? Excellent decision by EA.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

OMG even more reason to get it.

 

[Wagram]

Did they ever announce timed DLC this?

 

[Daigoro]

Holy shit yes! Thank you Respawn. The thing that hampers MP more than anything is splitting of playerbases based on map packs.

this x1000. killed off the last few Battlefields for me in a big way.

this is great news!

 

[Sub_Level]

Did they ever announce timed DLC this?

No. Neither PS4, Origin, nor Xbox seem to have any marketing priority with this game.

 

[G_Berry]

Free maps is always good news. Looking forward to picking this up on PS4. As much as I loved the bone version of 1, the screen tearing killed it for me. GO GO PS FO!

 

[Greddleok]

Seems like they learned from the last game. The community took a nose dive once paid maps were released. When I had to wait 10 minutes for a game because I didn't want to pay more money for a game I bought, I dropped it like a sack of shit, as did pretty much everyone else.
