Titanfall: 15 maps at launch (?), perk lists, game modes, Map Photos, ahoy!

Map pool is great. Modes sound like ones I'd enjoy. Could give zero care for a sp. Waste of Dev time. The online Has the so stuff built in and you know what. That's cool.

A lot of people want new IP and the way I see it respawn is doing a lovely job with perfect timing. To nitpick is a waste of time.

Had a great time with beta and this sounds exactly how I want the retail.

Definitely agree with you guys. I can't believe that I can just keep playing the same two maps over and over again. Each game is better and more fun than the last.

I've played over 100 matches and I feel like I need to play more, so delicious (especially when you get a good team).
 
15 maps, no SP, no Coop = weak. A $60 MP only game should have a lot more. For reference UT3 shipped with about 50 maps. I think ghosts came with 15 and it has SP and co-op. This is a bad deal. If this is the future of games, you guys can have it.
 
Speaking of, I must commend Respawn for their respawn placement design/execution. I think only once in almost 100 matches did I feel like I got a bad spawn point and got shot in the back 5 seconds after spawning. I always have time to orient and acclimate myself to my new location and make some moves. Too often in KZSF and BF4 (TDM) I feel I got a shit spot leading to a fast death.

Hah. If there's anything Respawn Entertainment should get right, it's that :p

don't like it, don't buy it.
I don't buy countless single player games because of this. I was interested in The Order, right up until they confirmed no Mp modes. Now it's essentially dead to me.. they could charge 10 dollars for it, and it'd probably be too much for me.

How is it a bad deal if I enjoy playing it for 60 hours versus a single play only game that is 10 hours with little replay value?
 
I don't understand people complaining about the lack of a SP. Have you been playing the SP on recent FPS's? They're all terrible and short and a waste of your time. In fact, they might actually detract from the value due to their low quality.

a. you don't know if you'll play it for 60 hours.
b. you're comparing it to a singleplayer game when you should be comparing to other multiplayer games with more maps, more classes, more modes, more weapons, etc. etc .etc ad infinitum.

Ultimately if it is worth $60 is your decision. In my case I get more fun for my $60 spent elsewhere. I'll probably pick this up when i can find find it for $25-$30, with all the dlc maps. Buying it before that is just a waste of money I can spend on other things.

Titanfall beta is a snack I enjoy in between BF4 meals.

Awesome! I'll take it over the shit that Ghosts turned out to be.

A campaign you play maybe 2 times if that but multiplayer goes on for months and months. If the content is there to keep you entertained then whats the issue?

honestly i'm really surprised people are complaining. 15 or 16 launch maps is really good.. i could see if it was maybe 10-12, but... man.

I don't give a shit about a SP campaign I will never play anyway. Game is fun as hell. I am already dreading the beta end date.

Who constitutes what is the proper amount of content for a $60 game? You? Yes, CoD Ghosts had single player, co-op, and a bunch of maps, but guess what? They were all SHIT!! Sounds like you want quantity just for quantities sake, give me quality every time. With that said, I have had much more fun with the Titanfall beta than I had with Ghosts before I traded that piece of garbage in.

well as a long time tf2 player, im just not gonna pay 50 euro for a mp-only game when games like tf2 and loadout are free to play and gets free updates.
 
This one?

Yeah, that.

I've got some of the hidden items adding to the menu. I'll try and get everything added and take pictures.

proximity_mine is called Arc Mine ingame:

I hope that in future games the AI bots are humans as well, so you can take turns in being a Titan pilot or a lowly grunt. Would really add something extra.
Hyped for this game and may be the reason I pick xbone over ps4. Damn the resolution difference I reckon this game will be as amazing as Halo3 was last gen!

or at least has the potential to be, we need to see it in game.

I love the look of Airfield and Lagoon in those pictures, they seem so fucking cool in terms of atmosphere and setting. God damn I wish I could play this game :'(

People suggesting that the game isn't worth $60 because it is MP only - why? Is it the same for SP only games, too? It doesn't make sense, especially when people often put 10x more hours into the MP part of a game like this than the SP.

Yeah, that's the problem.

I'm really excited to see the numbers this game will pull off at this price tag. Is it revolutonary enough to be as expensive as the competition with less content ? At least they choose not to launch in the same window than BF-CoD-Halo.

Wait and see !

heal tag was for the 'Stim' ability. That is current in the beta now.

It's basically like the Arc Grenades we can already access but they stick to stuff they will be great for leading Titans into traps. I already use the Arc Grenades perfect for getting Titans to back up .

Can't wait.

After playing the beta for a few hours on PC, this very well could be a day one purchase for me...especially if I have to wait a long time for DS2 on PC.

they can kill, which is something an arc grenade 9 times out of 10, wont do.
guaranteed pilot kill+assured detonation if placed in a titans patch etc, perfect.

i feel they would limit it to 1 without the extra perk, which would give you 2.

Titanfall Data-mining Suggests 14 Maps for launch, Shows Traces of Splitscreen Code
Among other notable points of interest in the game data, as noted by Reddit user no1dead, are several developer commands referencing to a Splitscreen mode:

cl_dumpsplithacks Dump (split screen workarounds.)
GetSplitScreenPlayerSlot (Returns the splitscreen slot assigned to this player (if any))
cl_disable_splitscreen_cpu_level_cfgs_in_pip (CPU Levels don't show in Picture in Picture splitscreen)
ss_teleport (Teleport other splitscreen player to my location)
ss_mimic (Force user input to this split screen player Split screen users mimic base player's Controls.)
If enabled, use PIP instead of splitscreen. (Only works for 2 players)
Two player split screen uses vertical split (do not set this directly, use ss_splitmode instead)
Two player split screen mode (0 - recommended settings base on the width, 1 - horizontal, 2 - vertical (only allowed in widescreen)
ss_splitmode....ss_enable (Enables Split Screen support.)

a. You don't know for certain if your next $60 game will be more fun than TF.
b. Just curious, please let us know when you purchase this game for $25-$30.

Given how bad was UT3 and the poor reception of Ghost here, I don't think you are doing the best comparison for your argument.

I've already put loads of hours into just two maps on the Beta and I'm not bored at all. Far more hours than many full games I've paid £40 for, so I don't think value for money is a problem for me here.

Now how many of these were actually good and worth playing? Also maps are exclusive to single gametypes as well.

I'd take 15 great maps, that work across all modes, than nearly 50 maps, with only 5 that are actually good, while all of them are exclusive to one game type. Come on

Maybe I just don't see it yet and will be pleasantly surprised on release, but the more I find out about this game the more evident it's becoming that it's perhaps the most over hyped game of the past decade :/

Even compared to the latest generic shooters, it's really lacking in variety.
