So 3 days early and there will be more
Hmm so Angel City won't be in the game until at least December (assuming monthly updates since it looks like they're doing 1 map a time)?

I will say that while week one of the tech test couldnt have left a worse impression on me, I enjoyed week two more, these Titans look awesome (Ronin <3), and seeing Angel City is coming is a site for sore eyes... as I think the three new maps are... not great.
Hopefully they keep listening to the community, have some good new maps coming, etc.

For every cool ability the Titans have they are weighted down with some pretty lame stuff. I can't believe they brought back the Plasma Railgun, that thing was a huge PITA in TF1 but of course they pair it with Cluster Missiles which were arguably the best ordnance... and what is the point of the VTOL ability? It looks like you are just stationary 50 feet up.
Yay we get the 40 mm back but it's tied to Particle Wall and not being able to use ordnance unless you have a lock on.
I still stand by my opinion that "Hero" Titans is a poor direction to go in for Titans and takes away a significant portion of what made TF1 fun.

I hope that the Titans have some customization options, even if it means one or two different guns for each.
Going from the first game where you could mix and match to a Hero/Champion system doesn't feel like an upgrade.

On one hand, there's finally a Macross-esque missile spam Titan, but on the other I really didn't like the alpha test at all.
I wish I could get some kind of PC demo with more of the Titans.
It's so desperate but by god it's winning me over.

Couldn't VTOL be used to safely move over sections of maps affected by area control abilities from Titans like Scorch?

Motherfucking Northstar! Now that's what I'm talking about.
The game needs custom voice overs so I can get that "Standby for Aile Strike"

Honestly VTOL looks like a death wish. It's either extremely broken (can be used for shortcuts etc.) or it won't be very useful.
That's some faith.

Titans look great. I still miss the customization though from the first.
Wish we could have best of both world with the customization and different chassis.
I still haven't decided if this is a buy or not as the "tech test" was a disappointment.
Hopefully they show off more maps sooner rather than later.

I am a Respawn fanboy. Honestly haven't been let down by any of their games (including all CoDs).

Then it could be used to get your Titan on top of a building. I suspect that Respawn doesn't want people doing that but hey, you never know.

Angel City!
Hope the map is untouched, and not some stupid tweaked version of it that removes all that made it awesome.
Sad that the old Titans didn't come back, figured they would still be in as they were so numerous. A few years later and those Titans don't exist?

Yeah, I gave Legion props. I'm very intrigued by the range mode for the weapon.
That said, I had perfect synergy with Scorch.

Looks like some good variety there. I understand people want to be able to choose the chassis/weapon type separately, but I get why developers decided to group them together. Namely,they wanted to make the weapons more unique/gameplay specific as well as balanced, which is probably way harder to do if you have to account for the variable movement speeds/health/abilities of different chassis. Besides that, there seems to be way more customization on your Titans than there was in the first game.

Those maps look just as flat and open as the beta maps. No buy for me.

It's TDM with AI bots running around that you need to kill or avoid depending on how you want to play. There's generally a lot of things going in the background of the maps too. It make the game feels like a single player level at times. A lot of atmosphere and some great music too. It was a really intersting game mode that played like nothing on the market at the time.
Does it show new maps?
... I thought they were the tech test maps.
edit: oh noooo
I feel like Tone HAS to have like 4-5 bullets max per 40mm magazine. It's the only Primary with any real precision and damage promise. It would literally be the best.

Definitely a few new ones in there. The maps with other playstyles they talked about were damage control PR just as I thought.
They will have designed the heights of buildings with this in mind, whether they choose to allow players to get on top of them or not.

Na they said more than 6 maps. 6 Titans been confirmed since e3

and you can tell that with 5 seconds of footage in one area of a map...
and the possible 3 new maps they show in here all have structures and shit around so lol
tin foil hats!

clearly it had to be. There is a titan that can fly. It's starting to make more sense

Yes I can tell by the multiple angles on multiple parts of the maps. There was one building that was taller than 2 stories in all of those. Go look at some screenshots of Titanfall to see what I mean by verticality.
The A.I bots were not unique to Attrition mode, you are painting it in a prettier picture than it was.
Attrition mode was a point based mode where you got points for killing A.I soldiers and players. This led to the game's most boring meta where people played with two weapons only (40mm Cannons for Titans and Smart Pistols for Pilots) since what you wanted to do was kill absolutely everything. This also led to a problem where on maps people tended to spread out extremely all over the place, making it hard to find other players. It was the worst mode for the game (behind Pilot vs. Pilot, now that was just pure pointless).
The "singleplayer" stuff he is referring to was actually from the campaign mode, that's what the first linked trailer is from. Where you had a sort of cinematic intro sequence to each level and then played a round of one of the game modes pre-chosen for the level. Normal Attrition had none of that and just people running around.
The better mode is and remains Hardpoint where you had to travel around the map and capture points. It had the same amount of A.I soldiers running around, lots of stuff going on and it also made players focus on specific points on the map (increasing the action and lowering downtime) so it would be easier to find each other while the sides were more used to try and sneak by the enemy and capture points behind them. It remains as the most fun mode because of its objective focus, killing enemy pilots was important but working as a team to hold the map points was just as important. I wrote a pretty long post a few months ago about this with in mind the general map design of Titanfall.

Yes, custom skins. Supposedly the game as a fuck-ton of customization.

Not really seeing huge bonus of flying Titan unless it can get on top of actual terrain. It just is going to make you a giant easy to hit target by floating around like that up in the air, and with how low much of the terrain is.... your suddenly visible to everyone

Where I got my Titan info. Click the Titan for info etc.
EDIT:
Hmm, I don't like Plasma Railgun, but Northstar really has the best abilities huh
Cluster is like, the best Ordnance
