Your right it did. Too bad a huge amount of people were not aware of that. Not only did they put it a week from battlefield but their marketing could have been better.

EA: Titanfall 2 below expectations, lots of new content coming, long term franchise

Star Wars is their next one isn't it? The UE4 Stig game?

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I got bored like 1/3 of the way through, haven't gone back. Considering deleting if from the HDD for space.
Will never understand GAF's hype on this one.

Yes, that I know. Can't wait.
About the independent thing; do they own the Titanfall IP? It belongs to EA right?

Well EA, you did screw up marketing in a big way. This is on you.

Good job
It only get's better
The first third s the worst part, check out the rest of the game.
They own the Titanfall IP. EA owns the first two games.

The question is: Will Respwwn want to continue working with EA?
They haven't left yet... That Star Wars game is still on...
Respawn owns the Titanfall IP, but as per Vince Zampella's "that's up to EA" statement, EA is the only one who is realistically going to publish it.
That said, EA has said the franchise is continuing.
The big independent studios are more so """independent""" these days.
Literally any other time in the year would have been fine

Yep.
Maybe they can try relaunching it, coinciding with a new content drop (say, co-op? (Am I biased? (yes))).
That's more marketing expenditures but seems like it'd be worth it for a long term investment, and to help undo some of the damage of its shit release date.

I liked it, wish it did better. Oh well, got all my friends to buy it. Then let them know about bf1 on sale. They all bought bf1, now they all play bf1 instead. I dont play with them anymore. I cant stand death simulator 1916. Maybe its the fact I just suck or the fact you arent designed to survive like more than a minute each time but I can not stand it.
Pretty much. I still can't believe they did it.
I mean I understand the ideas of counter programming but up against CoD? Very, Very stupid.
They have first refusal (which is basically the same thing, truth be told).

To be honest you're the first one I hear that didn't know it was on PS4 as well. lol
However, releasing it between CoD and BF1 was too damn stupid indeed... Don't know why they're surprised, I actually thought they knew it would be like that but just didn't care.

Interesting dynamic..
Well, as long as Respawn is making the games it wants to make, we'll be reaping the benefits.
Did not realize this
I actually feel bad for you considering how much better it gets as it goes on.

This.
A game that critically well received, albeit 'below expectations' in sales, is a potential hit that EA can nurture (with Respawn of course).
Expect any sequel to be released out the way of Battlefront/Battlefield.
Pc base was at like 3k for weeks now during the week and goes as "high" as 7k on weekends.
Consoles have ~15k-20k last time I checked.
Despite the lower number matchmaking is instant and you can find players for most modes (there'll be an update soon to help with the issue of underpopulated modes like CTF)

Same. I love the game so much I bought a Funko pop titan and I never buy any game related things like that. I burned out on BF1 fast and I have little interest in going back
Thank god. Tf2 was goty last year but their support since release has been bad - 1 map, that's not even new, and a couple of fixes to stuff that shouldn't have made it into release anyway.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
with them saying that it undersold yet has incredibly high good will and impressions EA really could continue on wih a 3rd game, they had to have known about the release schedule ans wasent so quick to write it off because of it

Like Square Enix with the Deus Ex universe stuff haha
I'm glad it's doing well on PC this many weeks after release

Real bummer what happened to this game. One of the best FPS games I've played in a long time.
Titanfall Heroes, coming to iOS and Android in late 2017
The only level worthwhile is the one everyone raves about (Effect and Cause). The rest of it isn't worth it.

Well gee, I wonder whose fault that was? Hmmmmm???
They'll release it with Battlefield Zwo

I have not been so obsessed with a shooter's multiplayer since Halo 2. Titanfall 2 is sublime and I look forward to Respawn taking another crack at it because GADDANG.

I was gonna post this when I saw his post but you beat me to it.
Titanfall 2 MP is one of my biggest go-to games currently, and I have no trouble finding players at all hours of the day in the mode that I play (Bounty Hunt). The population numbers don't ever seem to be incredibly high, but the game is far from dead.

Just let me get some MP in TF3 that appeals to me more than TF2.
I want that approach of "campaign" they had to carry across all the MP like it did in TF1.
I want the display huds, the feel of being an actual badass soldier of regular infantry, and all that jazz.
That and fast titan drops & better titans in general. But if they can nail the first aspect. I can cut them some slack on the rest.

Very active and easy to find a game.
Amazing MP, haven`t had this much fun maybe ever.
it's virtually dead in this part of the world .. trying to find a match on PS4 is next to impossible at times of the day ..and i'm talking morning or primetime, not 2am local
major problem is that you are locked to local servers .. i'll take a bit of lag over nothing anyday ..they should really open that aspect of the game up in matchmaking
