I didn't play the tech test but after watching videos and reading about the complaints I was initially disappointed. However Respawn did make a bunch of changes, and while maybe not perfect at least they have shown they listen to the community. Everything I've seen recently looks very promising and I can't wait till next Friday. I don't care if it's not perfect the game looks super fun and no other shooter I've played plays as smooth as Titanfall.
I think the game can really only get better from here on out with updates and DLC. I trust Respawn. I think they tried too hard to make Titanfall 2 something different than the first, and they got a wake up call from the tech test and made needed changes based off feedback. I think they will continue to listen to feedback and improve the game as time goes on. This is the shooter to get this year IMO, however everyone's tastes differ.
My only dilemma is whether I buy it for PC, or try and come up with the cash and get a Xbone so I can play with a few more friends and ensure longevity of the online community. That's mt only concern with the PC is how long the community will last.

Definitely thinking im buying alternator first.
It's definitely possible, but it takes a ton of practice.
Not quite sure, to be honest. Plenty were doing it on the first game for Xbox One, I could get some good momentum going but then would stall out by running into something the wrong way or messing up the button combos to speed up. Some were just flying and zipping around, though. There's some crazy videos out there of it. But controller is a lot of left stick click, jump boost and pressing B to slide, and keep up a variant of that (it's been a while, so my order might be messed up there). For PC, I'm not sure. It might be faster and easier, or might be a tad different, depending on key bindings and such!

Air strafing and bunny hopping are a lot easier on KB/M. I imagine things might be easier with an Elite controller in TF2.

Watching PC play has really hyped me for this game. All the negativity around the console alpha was really something else.

There are controller players that do stuff like that. Gamesager is pretty well known for it. He even played on a controller at the PC capture event.

That just isn't the same. Not even close imo.

So has all the complaints/issues everyone had in the tech test been addressed/fixed in the final release?
Depends what you are referring to. There have been some significant changes, some of which made their way into the alpha in the last few days like movement and a Titan timer. But they aren't exactly going to redesign maps because some people didn't like them.
On one hand, videos by good players make the game seem really exciting and make me want to pre-order. On the other hand, said videos of good players destroying lesser ones highlights just how fast the TTK is, and I feel like if I pick it up, I'll be similarly destroyed by old TF1 vets. As a result, the coverage doesn't really push me towards a purchase one way or the other. That's just me, though.

I believe that was EA's plan all a long.
Yes, remember we have the elite controller now
I like forthy's vids, and he's a good player but he wouldn't even be one of the top players on console to be honest. He's a mid-tier PC player. THere's some PC guys out there that are ridiculous.
Well, fuck it I'm in (on PC). Can't help myself! Does the PC version still have the awesome controller support that let players compete admirably with mouse/kb users ? (obviously not being the best players but I remember the PC version of 1 having some kind of aim assist that helped). I'm a kb/m fella but was curious

There is still aim assist to the distraught of some of the KBM players. It doesn't really bother me but I am worried about people abusing it by emulating a controller while playing with a mouse, which gets you the best of both worlds.
I'm not too worried either tbh, the best m/kb players will consistently be better anyway. Hell I might even be tempted to use controller now and again.

The maps comment worries me so much. IGN also commented that only some of the maps left you use TF mechanics to their fullest.
Urgh...

Seemed quicker than that.. For all the "I cant believe they changed that", much of the community was gone very quickly for a reason.

Not mine, the design choices are all still there. Killstreak based titan timer, no rechargeable shield on titans and quick TTK.
Basically, you are going to have a shit ton of lopsided games.

Titan build is basically the same as a timer, just a fresh coat of paint, you get passive charge overtime.
TTK I don't know, feels pretty consistent to me.
I agree on the shield part though.

Nah, I don't think so. The amount of guns in the final game aren't that many (some will be added post-launch as free DLC), and the majority of the unlocks are camos for Titans, Pilots, etc.
Yep, pretty much. Maybe it was lack of content, but if you're making a multi-million dollar game to develop, you can't rely on "maybe."
Important to note that not every player is as good as the YTers. I guarantee you, you'll see some newbies playing it, which means everyone will be on even ground. If you want to be safe, go play on PS4 so most of the people playing will be new to the franchise?
Personally, I think the concerns regarding the map are valid and at the same time, not that big of a deal due to the free maps and modes thing. I mean, we're getting Angel City in December, and I assume Respawn will reguarly dole out free maps and stuff to engage the community. That said, I do understand why it could be a problem for some.
On the movement thing, it's entirely possible to not bunnyhop and do all sorts of crazy slides and still do well. If you can do those crazy moves, that doesn't necessarily mean you'll be a killing machine since you have to, y'know, aim and shoot. All the fast movement in the world won't mean shit if you can't shoot and aim properly, Plus there are Titan battles to contend to as well.
Can't speak for everyone, but I think people will be surprised at how this game reviews.

Nice, I like the phase shift, but I feel it will be frustrating to be on the opposite side of it.
Invisibility was my default ability on Tf1, but it will be hard to pass the grappling hook, and most of the others seem fun to use too.
Right now I'm confident about the game. The only thing still bothering me from the alpha is the map design, a lot of fun in Tf1 came from running around from wall to rooftop to zipline... Other than that, TTK felt no different from the original (where it was quite short too), and I'm ok with the non-regenerating shields, with the added battery pack game. I'm only a bit sad of having lost the frantic "shoot your electronic guts" rodeo moves.
FFA has Titans.
