For people that only play Call of Duty every year, Titanfall is most definitely reinventing and reinvigorating shooters.

There are a lot of people that only play Call of Duty every year, as far as online FPS goes.

The people that still play CoD, will buy Titanfall, yes. But not because it's reinventing, but because it's more of the same.
If you removed the Titans and the Free Running, people would mistake it as a successor to CoD Black Ops 2.

The people that wanted something different from CoD style games (= small maps, perks, casual shooting mechanics) now play Battlefield or Planetside.

I am in the latter category and that's why I don't get the hype for this "next-gen AAA game".
I thought CoD was dying because people were getting tired of the "CoD succes formula", being
- small maps
- perks
- low recoil
- no team work

So my conclusion:
- do you still like CoD? You will like Titanfall.
- did you get fed up with what CoD style games offer? You won't like Titanfall that much. After a month you will come to realize it's CoD with some differences.


Titanfall won't attract gamers that like Battlefield and Planetside for the fact it has huge battles and requires team work...
I think that's sad. We are 2014, we are in the next generation, and YET we are here again with dumbed down shooters without any team play depth.

Since there isn't a single big team oriented game mode in Titanfall.
I was - at least - expecting a team oriented game mode where normal players have to defend the Titans for certain reasons.
Similar to the concept where Medics have to heal the Heavy's in TF2 all the time, because they play a crucial role.

There is no game mode that makes the interesting thing in this game - the Titans - feel "special". It's a wasted opportunity.
Titans are merely timed consumptions.
- you make some kills
- call in your Titan
- get in Titanfall or use it as AI companion
- eventually your Titan gets destroyed
- ^repeat^

Seems like it's still available from Best Buy: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/xbox-one-titanfall-limited-edition-wireless-controller/3775006.p?id=1219093905010&skuId=3775006&st=titanfall controller&cp=1&lp=1

My heart thanks you and wallet hates you.

 

[ChosenPredator]

man I haven't got a FPS game on PC for so long because all my experiences are always plague with massive amounts of cheaters so will the same happen with titanfall on PC ifso i might as well switch my copy to xbox one

 

[Nyteshade517]

My heart thanks you and wallet hates you.

I bought this controller at Best Buy on Wednesday (they had about 10 in the store) and actually played my last few matches of the beta with it. I like it a lot.

I don't care a thing for CoD and haven't personally bought one since CoD4, but I do play Halo and some other shooters. TF is not more of the same unless you simplify it to the point of it being something else to fit your argument. Yes, if you take a massive and unique part of any gameplay loop, it can play and look like something else that has similar parts of its whole, too. You cannot take freerunning or the Titans out without changing the game from what it actually is. The entire map design and progression is built around those two.

 

[BraXzy]

Does that controller look as good as it does in pictures? I so regret not getting one.

It is the sexiest thing in my house.

Spoiler

When I'm not in it, of course.

The speed and fluidity of your player as well as the freedom to wall run, jet pack, use a titan, jump on a Titan, etc, makes for a cometely different game than CoD. CoD is a game about being the best sniper, Titanfall is much better due to how many options the player has, it becomes an active dynamic game of skill instead of a shooting range like CoD. The argument that if you remove the titans and free running it would be like CoD is pointless because the game is built around all of these mechanics.

I couldn't help smiling when I saw all those Titans drop down in the beginning.

http://youtu.be/RmjVbPfHuV8

The above is a video of my gameplay showing off the burncard maphack. Some language in the video from a player in the lobby.

I really think that active burncards should be displayed on the scoreboard. At least that way you can say...okay, someone has maphack, I need to be extremely careful about being flanked, expected, etc.

Some kind of visual feedback when you "clear a card" could also be extremely satisfying.

There is an exp bonus pop up for killing a guy using a Burn Card. Having other ways of letting players know a Burn Card is in active use (especially one that may call down a Titan at the beginning of the game) wouldn't be bad.

I was looking for a new set of headphones for my laptop and came across this beauty:

Unfortunately they're $80, a full $20 over the regular Kunai headset. They look awesome though, I love the color scheme on these and the controller.

Wow good lookin headphones, too bad they sound like someone farting on your ears.

 

[Dandalf]

So my conclusion:
- did you get fed up with what CoD style games offer? You won't like Titanfall that much. After a month you will come to realize it's CoD with some differences.

You're playing the wrong game mode. Attrition is typical team deathmatch. People wait out other players to make the first move, get a few kills, and call in Titans. If you're playing only this game mode I can see your point, but there's much more to offer in other game modes. Hardpoint on the other hand requires coordination, teamwork, and communication.

Additionally, there are extra dynamics in Hardpoint that you won't find in Attrition. In Attrition people call in Titans and sit in them as soon as they land. Reason being they're more powerful than a regular on foot Pilot. In Hardpoint you need to weigh out whether or not that Titan will benefit you being in it. You can't capture many hardpoints in a Titan, so having to weigh pros and cons on the fly after calling in your Titan adds depth that's not even close to being present in Call of Duty. Titans can either be your wingman or your murder machine. You choose.

An example: I call in a Titan as I'm capturing hardpoint "B". The Titan is close enough that I can jump in it and mow down some pilots, but that means I can't capture this hardpoint. Do I jump in, leave the hardpoint to shoot one or two pilots and risk not capturing that hardpoint and losing valuable points in a close game? Do I call it in, set it in guard mode so it can protect me on the hardpoint, or set it to follow mode as I move around in the hardpoint so it tracks around the building with me - essentially acting as a perimeter defender?

Or do I wait to call it in all together so I can hop in it as we assault hardpoint "A" after capturing "B"?

Never had that thought in Call of Duty.

I think that's sad. We are 2014, we are in the next generation, and YET we are here again with dumbed down shooters without any team play depth.

See my last point. You're playing the wrong game mode.

There is no game mode that makes the interesting thing in this game - the Titans - feel "special". It's a wasted opportunity.

I'll quote a wise man to answer this one:

In Hardpoint you need to weigh out whether or not that Titan will benefit you being in it. You can't capture many hardpoints in a Titan, so having to weigh pros and cons on the fly after calling in your Titan adds depth that's not even close to being present in Call of Duty. Titans can either be your wingman or your murder machine. You choose.

I play BF. I love BF, even BF4. I prefer Titanfall (but still appreciate BF for all the haters).

Look up reductive reasoning. You're doing it. Any argument of yours that begins with "if you removed Titans and free running" is an automatic fail because that's the majority of the multiplayer. Those two things alone greatly reduce the camping / sniping that takes place in CoD and BF.

My heart thanks you and wallet hates you.

Likewise. Yay, credit cards.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Yes, this is one of the great successes of the design, at least in alpha/beta. People get caught up on the low TTK in isolation, but, in fact, TF gives you so many ways to counter that possibility from the start of the match that it should never be a serious fun-draining issue like it is for other FPS titles.

This is bs, and I will explain
Titans are very crucial to the game in EVERY mode.

Attrition: Being in a titan early on will give you the upper hand, taking out a titan /pilot combo will give you massive points. Basically, you and your team mates need to cover your butts if you have one out, or do the best to take out opposing titans. granted, this is kinda a free for all mayhem fest but there is still strategy to be found here.

Hardpoint: Hardpoint c (at least in the beta) was a place where you can camp out with your titan and make sure opposing forces did not take over.

Last Titan Standing: This mode is ESSENTIAL when it comes to titans, sure you can get out of it but if you are found out or your auto titan fucks up, you put the team at a severe disadvantage. Communication is key and I find when talking to other people we do much better. I have that Counterstrike mindset and everything since you only get one titan.


6 on 6 is, in my opinion, a perfect balance for this game based on the maps size and scope. Could there be more? Sure, but i've never had a problem finding enemy pilots.

Super high K/D ratio is usually some combination of 'parties up with the try-hard brigade' and 'plays like a total bitch'. Some are legit, but at least in CODville where everyone is concerned about their K/D, well more than half of 2+ k/d players will quit a lobby as soon as there is any hint of quality competition.

I think my kill average for the time I played the beta was about 4-5 pilots, a couple titans, and 15-20 AI per match. I had fun with it and that's what matters to me. I'll never be a player that tops the leaderboards and I'm not trying to be.

 

[rjcc]

If you removed the Titans and the Free Running, people would mistake it as a successor to CoD Black Ops 2.

If you take out things that are different, what's left is mostly the same?

Sorry, but I think you're off base with this one. I am sick and tired of Call of Duty, have been since Modern Warfare 2. Despite that I loved every minute of my time with the Titanfall beta and I can't wait until the full game release.

I'll reserve judgement because I haven't seen any of their matches, but that's my general take on it. I can understand if someone is exclusively playing Sniper. Otherwise...probably playing much more conservatively and taking advantage everyone else happily flying around the map and testing out shit.

That makes sense then. I was never really impressed with Titanfall looking at videos. Ever. This weekend I spent 15 hours playing on 2 maps and TF is simply better than any shooter in the AAA space right now, and I am actually basing that off of just the beta.

 

[lastflowers]

K/D dick swinging competition always brings out the worst of people... As long as I have few deaths, kill lots of Titans, and have fun that's all that matters.

Especially since I saw one player that consistently got 10:1 KDR, but since it was in Hardpoint....he was a detriment to his team. Rather than actually attempting to take back points, he just sat and camped around on rooftops to protect a KDR that doesn't matter.

I laughed at him while getting a 1:1 ratio, but being at the top of my team through Attack/Defend points; He sits at the bottom of his team with an outrageous KDR.

Bragging about KDR is considered dick swagging unless you're near the top of your board on a winning team.

 

[Diablohead]

I pre-ordered the game because shopto for me will get it ready and stick it in the post a day or two before release so I have the game at the right time, I could go to the shops and buy it but I would have to travel 30 minutes just to get to a game store and pay full RRP on the thing for it.

Battlefield 3's "tailed by opponent, run around corner, die, opponent's killcam shows lag kill" shit is here in full force for Australia, which for me means 150+ ping and no purchase at launch. Unacceptable. Drove me mental in Battlefield 3 and will do so here.

Goddamn it here I was getting hyped for this game. Was this on console or is it P2P on PC as well?

Couldn't possibly be more excited for Titanfall and the fact that its bringing me back to faster/close quarter combat shooters.

 

[Phil4000]

Played in the PC (Origin) Beta, game is way overhyped IMO...

Nothing feels next gen about it. Visuals are fairly poor, (had to check multiple times to be sure I was running the game on max settings), and the gameplay is basically COD with wall running, jetpacks, and three mechs that feel incredibly weak (are taken down quickly)

Why would anyone pay $60 for this?!
