Rise is hard to tell what's going on, seems like a claustrophobic, dusty sort of map, but they could just be showing us the tiniest slice and it could open up into something completely unique

yea, thats why im refraining to comment on them.
you can get a decent feel of the type of climate/area the map is set in however, which is something.

What triggers an appearance of a titan? A kill streak, timer, random? And can both teams use the same titan or are they locked to each side?

haha, this is amazing. Thanks Razor.

So boneyard is a proper boneyard. That's a huge skeleton there. What kind of creature was that :p

Hopefully one will randomly run through the map and murder everyone.

Everyone has access to one based upon a timer. This is lowered by killing stuff, objectives etc. You can also get Burn Cards to lower it also. Its your own Titan, nobody can steal it but they can blow it up which restarts your timer.

When you start the game you have a person timer for your Titan. Think it starts at 3 minutes, but if you get kills on enemy players/bots, your timer will go down much quicker. For example if you kill an enemy you shave 30 seconds off the countdown.

Edit: That Outpust 207 preview looks great, liking what I'm seeing of the environments. Seems to be a lot of variation.

A timer. Any player can call one at any time as long as it's ready.

Killing players and AI bots chip away at how much time you have left.

They're essentially a players 'power'. Kill pilots/bots and shave some time off the countdown timer/cooldown. Get titan, kill other titans/pilots, titan gets destroyed, wait for new titan.

it varies based on what your doing and how active you are.
i have gotten -3 seconds etc. just for throwing a grenade at the wall.

Oh really? Interesting, I'll have to keep an eye out for that next time I'm on. I thought it was set in stone. (i.e 2 sec for Grunt)
 
Lagoon....I need more. I'm a sucker for beach/tropical levels.

Fishhook - Socom 2
Zanzibar - Halo 2
That sweet mountainous beach level - GRAW1

Hearing it only has 14 maps make me incredibly wary, the game is fairly enjoyable but i don't think that's enough content. Im hoping that we get more info on what the full game is going to include with number of maps.

The game is going to do okay but I really think they are cutting it close on the value proposition. I hope they prove me wrong.

Pretty much. I'm deeply sorry if it offends people that I can pay $60 for a multiplayer game and play hundreds of hours of it when it 'only' has X number of maps and no singleplayer.
I don't think anybody has a problem with that. What they're saying is the same $60 will buy them a game that gives them more hours of fun than this one. I like Titanfall but there is no way I'll spend more time with it than I've already spent---and will continue to spend---with BF4.

So while the "worth" of a game is subjective we can still compare amounts of content between games with similar pricetags to judge which is giving us more for our dollar.

If I buy the game it will be when I can get it for $30 or less OR the campaign mode turns out to be very, very compelling. :)

Quoting my earlier post with quick gameplay clips from Airfield and Boneyard.

Respawn actually snuck a quick clip from each of Airfield and Boneyard into footage they gave the press last year at E3.

Obviously all credit goes to Razor, great job so far dude :) I'll update this post with them all as he posts them and he can of course do his own post/mods update the original post as they wish.


Did a test:

This is the boneyard map in the lobby. I'll look to get pictures of all the maps.

Smuggler's Cove in the lobby:

I won't do a separate post for each map from now on. I'll get them all first.

Sorry mods, I couldn't wait. Here's 2 more, i'll do 2 at a time!

I've posted all the maps aside from the beta ones I believe. I will test the training_ground to see what the image looks like.

This isn't the tutorial map (right?), similar assets but not the same, so the game possibly has 15 maps!

So...how do you hop on top of a titan? Folks keep jumping on mine, both friendlies and enemies.

I ran up to one and tried pressing E but no luck.

The game modes are a bit thin. I've played these types of modes in other games. This is even less than Battlefield I think.

Eh, as long as they support a wide variety of gameplay styles then I'm fine. Realistically the only worthwhile modes in BF are Conquest, Rush, and Obliteration, (in my opinion) and they could stand to use some other modes in BF. (SDM for example)

Some sort of neutral bomb or assault mode would be amazing in Titanfall, though.

Or a game mode from UT where it's free for all with a single Titan that randomly drops.

I thought there was supposed to be 16. At least, that's what I read before. =/

The two they have at the moment in the beta are very well done, though. Everything seems to flow together. And I'm actually surprised at the amount of detail in the buildings. Though I think it sucks you can't shoot those soda cans off the counter in some of the houses. lol. I guess having stuff bounce around would cause more chaos with it being online or something.

Also, I gotta say this is the first time I felt like I could do well in an FPS. I didn't have to mess with the aiming at all.

Lagoon looks awesome.

I'm away from the game at the moment so I can't try it out, but thanks!

So if I'm at its feet, I just jump like normal while its moving, and I'll cling?

When you're at its feet you may have to jump and press E. It's a risk though because you may get squashed and I think you have to approach it from its back.
