Man if I could find a PC collectors edition, I would probably pick it up, that's one bad ass statue and love the lights on it. But seems all are sold out everywhere :(

Check the Microsoft Store. I checked this morning and it's one of very few places left that still had it for $249.

You get a $10 gift card too :)

Fuck, both my GOAT guns in one trailer.
Until launch i will say the C.A.R and hemlok are destined for greatness in this game.

Im also upset.
For a quick second there, it looked like the plasma railgun had flames painted on it.... So it could charge faster.

Respawn plz.

We should have had people specify if their gamertag was for 360 or Xbone on that form. I just realized that as I was merging it with mine for the other topic.

Well, I needed a second controller anyway so I figured what the hell... it's only $5 extra. The problem now is that my son always grabs the Titanfall controller first and I get stuck with the Day 1 controller. :-(

It's amazing how bad the marketing has been for this game. The fact that so much had to be leaked from the beta files is ridiculous.

They don't have the PC CE, only Xbone/360 versions are available.

Can't find the PC CE anywhere, seems they really didn't make too many since I've found the other versions available still in various places, but no PC CE anywhere.

Don't worry, Gaf did all the marketing for it.

Those anti threads still were talking about it, still had it's name in people's mouths. Respawn owes some people a check over how much they brought it up and helped spread talk of it.


That said, yea it has been terrible marketing from a "professional" standpoint

Marketing is just about getting people hyped and buying the game, the Beta and these latest trailers seem to be doing a pretty good job of that. Map names, number of maps, unlocks, modes, prestige levels, etc, are cool to know when your already hyped, but they're not going to sell someone on the game.

How so? Marketing is basically TV commercials and trailers which we've seen. They seem to be keeping some of the game under wraps, which is fine.

I think people are hyped quite a bit already.

There are two things that I feel Titanfall is missing:

-sliding. Like in Crysis 2 & 3, where you can slide without losing too much speed. It would be a nice way to move down some stairs, ramps or just to be hard target.

-a proper first person animation for wall running. From a 3rd person perspective, the pilot touches the wall with his hand, but from a first person perspective, he keeps holding his weapon, which looks a bit unnatural.

They haven't talked about the campaign(a huge element of the game) or the actual content in the game. Just like Konami with GZ, it's the burden of the publisher/dev to justify why a person should spend X amount on a game. In this case, the game could have had 10 maps and due to the silence of Respawn, we wouldn't have known until the reviews. Stuff like the prestige levels don't matter but the tangible assets in the game are important.

Eh, I think there will be a media blitz this week/early next, highlighting a lot of stuff that hasn't been part of the official news.

The C.A.R actually looks like an SMG in the trailer.
Looked like an AR in the photos, which is weird.. Because it IS an SMG lol.

Well.. A cross between the 2.

I'm not sure you can call the campaign a huge element of this game. It's a multiplayer game through and through, which has narrative driven versus mode. Could be cool, could be meh, but no-one is buying this game for that. Amount of content, number of maps, length of campaign are all things we normally find out from reviews. Why you now expect this information to come from marketing, I don't get.

I loved using the Compact SMG in the beta but man it felt like I would get melted at any range by the Carbine, even up close.

Its going to be really great if its compatible with the run n gun kit, which it should be since its classified as an SMG.

Its also great by itself being a nice mix between the 2 types.
The best videos i saw of the beta were all SMG PC gameplays lol.
I personally only used the AR and in the main game, i will be maining the AR outside of the hemlok and C.A.R as they are later unlocks.
We will need to see how the C.A.R stands against the R101 and the hemlok and how the hemlok stands against the other 2 as well.
Will be an interesting road, especially since symthic isn't showing much, if any interest in this game, so weapon analyses will be completely on us.
Unless someone decides to pickup symthics mantle when it comes to Titanfall weapon stats and comparisons.

I think its going to be fun figuring out what the best weapon/kit combinations are for ourselves for once, instead of having a site telling us whats good and whats shit tier.

(To be fair, i love symthic, im just using Titanfall as an exception to the rule as i haven't been in the situation where i have to evaluate each and every weapon on my own for a veryyyyyyy long time. We have always had sites thats had layouts etc. for shooters like battlefield and COD, yet didn't in their earlier generation titles, so i guess since this is Titanfalls first iteration title, its fitting in a way lol.. Although you would think things would have changed after all these years in terms of stat sites and early gen titles.. Especially with all the hype surrounding Titanfall in particular, because you just KNOW they are aware of the game)

Yeah, that bugged me, too.

Or how if you do a Titan execution with the Atlas, it looks like you just kind of let him go whereas someone else watching / during your killcam you get an animation of the Titan hurling the pilot head over heels. Overhand, at that.

Minor quibbles, but still.

(Forgiven if you let us paint / decorate our Titans).

Anyone know where I can order the Titanfall Bundle tax Free in TN. Amazon charges sales tax here now. Does the MS Store charge tax?

Not sure if it was apparent in the beta, but the kraber is massive

Click to expand...

Yeah, when you yourself use it, its not insanely large.
But when you look at others using it, its massive.

Gun models in this game are generally large to begin with on screen anyway.

Also the mass effect N7 colors on the kraber and single shot dmr make them look like weapons straight out of the trilogy.

Never was.
The sniper rifles aren't affected by auto aim iirc, and the pull time is reallllly slow, especially on the kraber.
Click to expand...

Oh that's awesome news! If it's literally impossible to run around a use a sniper effectively in this game i'll be so happy! Relegate the snipers to well... sniping from a stationary position as they provide overwatch for their team. THAT, i'm all for. The run and gunning with a 1 shot kill weapon that should never be able to be used like that... lame.

Thank you Respawn!

I mean... I guess f you had enough time and where looking directly at someone in the first place you could pull off a quickscope, but it wouldn't be a quickscope by definition as I'm quite sure you need the reticle up completely to get the full accuracy of the shot... I could be wrong, going off of beta experience with that.

I was an awful sniper n the beta with the DMR variant AND kraber.. I generally don't snipe in games period,, so yeah.

I couldn't hit shit with the pilot wallrunning everywhere, almost like a snipers natural enemy.

However people who are actually GOOD with a sniper rifle have some pretty great gameplay vids out there.

I was pretty much just R101.
Ended the beta w a 4.3 vs pilot K/D wich isn't awful, but not god tier either.
Will be much higher in the full game.

I have seem videos of people getting s ton of hip fire/medium range kills with the DMR sniper as its scope is short anyway, so its just as effective at mid range as well as long.
Im sure if you wanted to... You could hip fire it.

I have seen someone scope on and kill a pilot pretty quickly whilst the pilot was climbing up onto the ledge e sniper was on, so thats the amount of time it would take to kill someone close range, and even then the pilot was defenseless due to climbing, i think the sniper would have been dead, had that been a different situation and the climbing pilot was able to use his weapon.

They seem to have a pretty good round up of weapon stats for shooters (CoD / BF). Let's hope Den doesn't take forever to put it all together.

Aw boo! I wish sniper rifles in FPSs had a 2-3 second full-accuracy-ADS and crazy horrible hip fire... like worse then they are now. Quickscopers and the rushing like a banshee snipers are part of what killed COD for me.

Seeing the elaborate cutscenes in the trailer makes me wonder about camaign mode. There would have to be multiple story branches if the cutscene context/standard multiplayer match mashup is really what it is.

That could actually be a worthwhile novelty.
