I think Delaying it would be a serious overreaction to some of the complaints wagered by a very vocal minority.
The game certainly needs changes... But a good amount of it can be addressed rather simply with some number values.
1. Go back to Time to Titanfall instead of Killstreak
I don't really understand this complaint since it's still pretty easy to get a titan if you're playing at any kind of decent level and not just standing around. In bounty hunt you still get it from killing grunts and AI, which you should be doing anyway. Once the match leaders start getting titans, doing damage to them builds your meter even faster, so that balances things out somewhat too.
I don't see much of a difference from TF1 other than someone who's just not killing anything or helping won't get a titan for free.
2. Increase Movement Speed ( Both Pilots and Mechs )
Agreed, the bigger maps need some slightly faster movement, but people weren't using the slide/jump bunny hop technique either.
3. Increase TTK
I could see this, but slightly. I still got away from a lot of bad encounters in this test so having it too high would make it frustrating to kill people who wall run or stim in reaction.
4. Make Grappeling Hook Standard
I don't agree with this - it gives a huge amount of speed and movement bonuses, as well as helps rodeo titans.The other stim and hologram items are very useful too and I think it helps players specialize that they are a little softer and less able to get away when you pick the grapple hook.
5. Randomize Bank positions in Bounty to reduce camping
This could be a separate mode but I like the idea of knowing where the banks are and being able to plan ambushes. The maps also seem designed around a stationary bank with more cover and indoor areas.
6. Confirm that Attrition is coming back
Agreed - hopefully it's in the final or will be added after launch.
7. More clearly explain the shield/battery system for the Mechs to new players
Yeah, I didn't play the tutorial but there needs to be a good explanation for why you should care. It's a big part of the game.
