Are they still discussing the FoV slider on console?
Trick question! They were never adding it 🍕

If someone has some doubts about the speed of the game or map wallrunning potential, watch FrothyOmen's videos. He is one of the rare youtubers who really gets it what this game is about. Everyone else who got to preview it plays it like it's CoD, while it's actually much more than that.
Oh, and I love slide hopping, it's more versatile thant the standard b hopping in the original game.

Basically yes, except that you score points by killing grunts, titans or pilots (some being worth more than others of course). Probably the most fun if you want to always have stuff to shoot at.
More than anything else, the thing that murders my excitement for this game.

I'm very happy they put FFA in this time, I really wanted that mode for the first game.
No Frontier Defense is disappointing ... fingers crossed it gets patched in sometime if ever :/

I have had my copy preordered for a little while. Really excited for this.
His videos are great on Titanfall 2. His videos of Last Titan Standing are awesome and some of his Pilot gameplay is incredible.

Him saying the other maps in the game are better has me incredibly suspect after Respawn effectively put their first foot forward with 3 poor maps and outright admitted that they represent a shift in design philosophy.
I guess I'll find out for myself next Friday, though.
Not really. No one seems to give a shit about TF2 on GAF and review threads are mostly just shitposting from people wanting a game to get a specific score, high or low. There will be more media bashing and metacritic truthering than crow eating, regardless of the reviews.

Check your area before dropping a titan? Don't blindly call it in?
Agreed (and a lot of salt)
There are new maps in all of these videos. They all look LOADS better than the tech test maps.
They've been showing off newer maps for a while. But it's hard to gauge quality by just "eyeballing" it. I'm going off him actually outright saying they're better.
I have no doubts the post launch support will be amazing just like TF1. Frontier Defense will definitely come as free DLC at some point, it's just sad and strange it's not there at launch since it was the second most popular mode.
Believe me, I WANT to eat crow. I WANT to like this game. It tears me up that the beta was so uninteresting.

I want to eat crow. I think SP will be very good, and the MP maps look more promising, but Im really not sure how the community will end up
Lots of games these days try to be service games and end up healthy enough. Siege for example.
And free maps for life is very assuring. So I expect a much healthier community than TF1.
But god, those 3 alpha maps were beyond bad.
I wish they didnt hurt the impressions so much. I really intend to pick this up come 2017, but BF is too big of a deal right now. Crazy that EA lets it release so close together.
Despite my incredible criticism, I enjoyed the alpha. Hopeful that good maps and good modes will make it that much better

I want to eat as much crow as possible but I'm still not convinced. In the IGN preview the guy speaking even said "cool pilot movement when the maps allow it"

Free For All in Titanfall? Sounds like a big, delicious orgy of beaten metal, blood and salt.
Respawn deliverin' the goods.

Yeah, but you gain points by shooting the a.i as well.
It's not the best mode though, definitely not the mode that highlights all that is amazing with Titanfall. That would be CTF but CTF is a bit more of a competitive mode and it can get frustrating fast for the noncompetitive playerbase.
You're going to trust an IGN reviewer that plays this like COD? Why not watch FrothyOmen and his opinions. He's actually a veteran Titanfall player.I want to eat as much crow as possible but I'm still not convinced. In the IGN preview the guy speaking even said "cool pilot movement when the maps allow it"

Damn frothyomen has uploaded like nuts
Any answer on what T-Day is? Can't watch vids at work.
They probably put the maps most different from the first Titanfall in the tech test to show off new stuff. Now we're seeing the stuff that's building on the original.

I am! I'm going through every video in the OP. I was a massive fan of the original too

t-day is 8v8 gamemodes
How did it differ from the mode that released during the beta, Bounty Hunt? Less enemies?
Because everything I have heard about Attrition is very similar to Bounty Hunt. Never played Titanfall 1
A lot of people really disliked the tech test/beta.
Cool, thanks
3 of which we already know are terrible from the tech test... pretty disappointing :/ I expected at least 10.only 9 (+coliseum) maps on launch
(titanfall 1 launched with 15)

Bounty Hunt rewards you with $$ for kills which you deposit at certain times, and getting killed docks half of your cash. Banks tend to become campfests. Attrition is straight TDM, you get points for kills and first team to x points wins. They may sound a lot alike but they play much differently. Attrition is a much better mode to play if you're not playing with a group of friends.

They also updated bounty hunt from the tech test. Overheard that on the tactical brit's preview video. Not sure what he means though.
Alright, I got it.
I think Titanfall 2 might benefit from having a gamemode like the Killzone games had where the game type would switch a couple times during the match. Team Deathmatch -> Capture the Flag -> Domination. Could be pretty cool.

Oof, that's rough, especially if 3+ of the maps aren't suited to every gamemode. The maps have been one of the more ubiquitous complaints, and having 9 at launch isn't going to assuage those concerns for people that are on the fence.only 9 (+coliseum) maps on launch

Well the game does have a single player vs TF1 being a MP only game with 15 maps. Then you had to pay for more maps Where we will get free maps going forward for TF2.

Yup, also Attrition is less scripted, ennemies spawn at random places all around the maps and aren't as scripted as Bounty Hunt, where you always go through the same phases, same spawn points and same ennemies.
Also attrition is your army of grunt vs the other team army of grunts (you can even follow your own grunts using them as bait for other players), while Bounty Hunter has a neutral army of AI being shot at by two opposite teams for whatever reason.

I just watched that video and he says cash from certain kills gets deposited automatically without having to wait for a bank to open, also you lose less cash when you die. Not much info really. They really need to speed bank deposit times up or just make it instantaneous, if you had a lot of cash to deposit during the tech test you were pretty much a sitting duck while you waited for your deposit to finish.

the slide/jumping feels so incredible in this game. It's by far my most anticipated game of the year.
It's like an active reload for movement.
