OK, I know Respawn heavily hinted it, with the confirmation being a formality, but they've officially confirmed it now on Reddit.

Hi Reddit friends,
I write this post to you because I know a lot of you have seen my #BePatient comments and dislike it or find it to mean I'm trolling. I do it out of love (sometimes it's borderline trolling lol) I rather you be angry than feel like we don't see your complaints and begin to run with random stories lol. So I'm here to tell you that I'm ending my #BePatient campaign! Going forward I'm going to use #WeDidITReddit
P.S - Attrition is in Titanfall 2. #WeDidITReddit

Finally!

But please Respawn, give some incentive for people trying other modes.

I know that many people are afraid of even trying objective modes..., but they might discover they actually like it.


EDIT: PC version seems great. 21:9 support, better mouse support. I'm in!

I really hope the reaction to this opens some peoples' eyes about how badly Titanfall needs AI enemies.

I'm one of those who doesn't think Attrition was a great mode, and I was usually pretty bummed it ate up the player base. I'd prefer if we just got more AI in other objective based modes, like conquest.

But hey, people really liked this mode, so it was silly they didn't show this off from the get-go.

It's funny there has to be a thread about this because I don't think Respawn ever said it was NOT going to be in the game? I think that internet rumor just snowballed because it wasn't a game option in the tech test which is silly.

So it was always in the game then if there's already people playing it? I don't get all the secrecy LOL. I'm confused

Definitely glad it's back though, dunno if it's the guy playing it (only skimmed through it, will watch rest later) or what but the map looks too wide to do proper wallruns.. I guess that's where the grappling hook would come in but if it's so reliant on that I can't help but feel it should be available for everyone at all times, not as an optional item. It looks better than the others at least so I'm hoping it's just the guy playing.

They described Bounty Hunt as an upgraded Attrition, and they were squirrelly when asked directly about Attrition being in the game. There was some cause for concern.

Reddit posts confirms a few things:

- It wasn't originally going to be in (like omg)
- It will be tacked on (so maps are not necessarily built for the mode)
- It won't be out for launch

yeah so... pre-order cancelled justified?

So watching this PC demo...............................................

Now shields
Click to expand...

Battery system is fine learn how to play you get an overshield if you enter the Titan with a battery. They would need to change the rodeo system and that's not happening so get over it.

I personally found the batteries to be a fun mechanic. You can keep a Titan way longer if you pick up batteries when your shield gets low.

BIG EDIT POST:

Okay this map looks fine.

Minions no longer show up on the map? Is there a Minion Detector in this game? I know you're listening Respawn devs

40mm seems weak against Titans, not anywhere near as damaging as I would like.

---

Can we have SOME indication that the UI may change? I wanna know how many Grunts I kill or how many points I get in one 'nade etc.

Glad to see that they are listening, but this video didn't do much to instill confidence.

It could have been that the player wasn't very good, but it still doesn't look nearly as chaotic and fun as TF1... :/

The video also confirms LTS. Now batteries are scattered around the map and respawn at certain intervals. I hope they just eventually have rechargeable shields like before, at least for LTS because a 2 v 1 or 3 v 1 may become hard to do without shields recharging. It adds more strategy having rechargeable shields.

Aight so... Ronin appears to play like a beast.

Respawn, this game looks incredible. Why did you give us only the ass maps in the Tech Test? ;)

edit: and the Plasma Railgun looks dope now. Nice that you can charge without zooming in.
