Titanfall without bots wouldn't be Titanfall.
The wall running in CoD is garbage, especially when compared to Titanfall.
it's added on as a gimmick where as in titanfall if you're not wallrunning you're not playing the game right.

It's a possibility, but considering the fact that both will be quite different in setting, and probably gameplay, I think they'll be fine.
I'll get both, either way.

I wouldn't call it garbage, it works for what is trying to accomplish. The wall running is not the main draw of the game.
It's of course not as dynamic and fast paced as Titanfall,

Uh, so the background of http://www.titanfall.com/
Is that a wallrunning Titan?
EDIT: Note, colors in this image were added by afterwards. See the site for the original image.
Holy shit. I didn't know I wanted this but I wanted this.

To be even more correct, ideally you are only wall bouncing in most cases.
agreed. hopefully true. an all new engine is going to feel different (for better or worse) and the old feel is excellent. if it aint broke...

Do you mean female pilots? The Titans don't have a gender.

Really hyped now to see some gameplay of the sword.
I wonder if it will have any kind of defensive uses besides the slashing.

Right, but not many people here would even know what that means really. I really hope the campaign helps people play Titanfall the way it's supposed to be played before they even hop into PvP.
The first few months of Titanfall were dreadful, gameplay wise. No one knew how to play the game. Everyone played it like COD.

Amen brother.
I'm unreasonably excited for this game:

I dunno I had a lot of fun with all the free kills from people who didn't know how to play.

It's really not difficult to imagine. Just look at every other FPS on the market.

Even better, hop into the pilot skirmish playlist.
That no one plays, because it isn't as good.

The AI can already have female voices anyway (most of them are, actually)

Mmmmmmyeah.
Gimme that detail.

Yes, it would be just like any other FPS on the market. Not Titanfall. Bots are one of the main things that make the match flow so well.

The campaign should have wallrun platforming sequences, a lot of them.
Mmmmmmyeah.
Gimme that detail.
The serial number text on the sword is cute - something like
"MOBILE, PS4, RETURN to X1, PC"
That's straight up bullshit. you can't can compare shitty EA servers to Titanfall's servers.

That does indeed look like a wall-running titan. You can see that is a building and not the ground at a strange angle. The greenery and sky behind indicate it is a vertical wall.
Sounds great.
Be great to see a titan that can do blink/teleport or one that can do huge jumps/tunnel into the ground and emerge with an attack. There's lots of variation that they could introduce.
The sword looks cool too. Hopefully there will be more weapon variations for titans.
I think we should keep bots as well. They played a great role in the first game in allowing beginners to feel like they were contributing, whilst giving veteran players a way of calling in titans more quickly.
I actually wish that yellow titan was real as one thing I felt the original lacked was a varied colour palette. i sometimes struggled to distinguish friend from foe at distance. One of the reasons I loved halo's red vs. blue.

Perhaps only a small and lightweight titan can wallrun, which sacrificed power and health to do so. Seems like there is a lot of design space for different titans if you abandon the notion that titans are always clumsy. I don't even think they are, because the lightweight one in the first game was quite agile.

No bots please
They added absolutely nothing to the game beyond the ability for lesser players to get their titans faster (sometimes).
Just increase the player count by two each side, and focus on map design by engagements.

A good Strider player in TF1 is literally untouchable, especially on PC with effective side strafing.

Damn, it really does.
Mobile TitanFall? I am guessing some kind of companion app?
EDIT:
R2X1? Revision 2 Xbox One?

There's no way pc gets put into the same match making pool as consoles for this.
Playing as a pilot would be too easy against controller user.
They need more content out the gate I think to maintain the PC population. Which I'd be surprised if they don't deliver on that. The dev cycle for TF2 can't have been nearly as rocky as the first game.
You pretty much nailed it on why they had bots in the first place. They will most likely have playlists without them but expecting them to drop the AI is stretching it.

Hang on, what if MOB1316 means the following:
MOB = Multiplayer Online Beta
1316 = Could we see a beta in June at E3? Reveal is 12th of June. MS conference is 13th. E3 finishes 16th.

I mean, that's the whole point of Titanfall.
Hunting down bots to get a Titan quick, while being hunted by Pilots when you're making noise killing the AI.
That's the whole premise of it, anything else isn't Titanfall.
The AI bots don't seem like a limitation choice, but a design choice. You gotta think "MOBA" like.
A Pilots only playlist would not be fun at all, we've already seen it with the playlists they added in the original. It was a mess.
The point of the game is quick engagement, remove the bots and remove any reason to even come out there in the battlefield regardless of a how a map is designed. Bots are a "carrot" to keep players going, moving for that reward.
