there most likely is a reason there was no thread about this game before.
this forum proably is the worst suited website to discuss ea games.
as you see... just disliking ea and not buying their games puts you into a pro ea position here.


"just disliking ea and not buying their games puts you into a pro ea position here." Makes some of the most sense of anything I've read lately.

Hey this is that game that's been watered down to hell and back while still telling people they're, like, the best most unique developers ever and way better than those nerds at Mektek.

Yes. These are the guys who bashed MechWarrior. T'would make me mirthful, were it not so sad.

Here are some reviews of beta. It looks like really good game:

Not to mention there are more than a few streamers playing the game, letting you watch the game to see how it fares.

If you want to play it, do so now. Pay full price. Don't look back, because the moment playership drops the servers will be pulled and there will be no more Titanfall ever. There are no player side Titanfall servers and most likely never will be. You will pay full price for a moment in time and you'll never get it back again because you don't own what you buy.

There isn't much of a reason to host on dedicated servers other than latency. The AI is shitty, so that doesn't need more than the console to 'run'.

I played some of this on a friend's account, so might as well share a bit. The game is a CoD clone, and there really isn't any getting around it. It's casual in the extreme, even by MMS standards; the bots serve no purpose other than power fantasies and covering up the lack of players in the large maps, everybody gets a new mech every two minutes even if they do absolutely nothing, and it features the identical zero-recoil-fully-automatic-regenerating-health-random-headshot combat system of the other sixteen thousand CoD games. The mech combat is dull and slow and many people opt to just leave their mechs running around on autopilot while they play some CoD on foot. The game is constantly telling you you're doing a great job for slaughtering braindead bots as you wander around the map looking for real people to fight. There's a gun that aims for you, as if you needed it in something as distant from skillful gameplay as you can get.

Sure, there's some interesting stuff like wall running and double jump, but the mechs are uninspired and the combat is laughably casual, so I would avoid like the plague (unless you love games like CoD and Battlefield). It's a shame it's gotten so much hype, even among PC players, but it really is terrible. Someone mentioned Blacklight: Retribution... I'd say Blacklight's better in every regard, except maybe the jumping and wall running.

Wow, having read more on the "insult mechwarrior" and "dungeon keeper mobile" cases, I'm appalled. No Titanfall for me!

If you reload midclip you lose all that ammo. That's about as "hardcore" as it gets.

I'd say the game might be worth the install for comedic value if it were free (and not on Origin), but it's going to be what, $50-60? I laughed numerous times playing it... my personal favorite feature is that the game will spawn bots that sit still in a room staring at each other until a player walks in, at which point they begin a horribly scripted punching/kicking sequence to make the player think THEY'RE ON THE BATTLEFIELD, AND THIS IS WAAAAAR. You can also just walk up to groups of 4-5 bots and kick all of them to death without taking significant damage from their weapons, and I'm fairly sure it's completely impossible for a single bot to kill you, as your health regenerates too quickly for it to be mathematically possible.

Ironically, just about the only part of the new CoD that I found fun was the part where you kit out bots and have them fight someone else's kitted out bots*.

* technically you play a member of your squad, but there are way more bots in the battle than humans.

I been enjoying myself with this one but some concerns. The base kits pretty much lead upto assassins running all over the place and backshooting people or CQB standing near doors and blast anybody with one shot. it takes about 4 people to take down one stinking titan, I know in battlefield thats pretty much the same with the tanks and shit but its a titan so the fucker is all over the place so its hard to lock on it while its not trying to step on you or kill you. Im already on level 5 but haven't seen anyone else using different weapons so doesn't look like a variety. melee kills are super stupid, either you sneak up behind someone and break their neck or have some weird long ass kick movement which somehow your opponent pulls off faster? Titans themselves can really take some damage, melee for them is interesting, you can kill a pilot by pulling them out of the cockpit if the titan is doomed. Im honestly waiting for jumping titans cause its a pain in the ass for just dodging and i expected something to rub off from Hawken.

overall, good game to get later but there better be some interesting DLC or this is gonna tank real fast.

I would play this over MWO anyday considering how sad that game is (where the fuck is the melee weapons) and it does remind me alot of the old MechAssault games from the xbox but it still doesn't satisfy my mech needs.

Well anyway, let's get off the hate on EA train for now. So why has no-one seen/posted this?http://gamersyndrome.com/2014/news/alert-titanfall-beta-open-everyone-starting-tonight-invite-codes-will-no-longer-be-needed/
I guess this means that everyone may get a chance to try it out.

We've been talking about the ups and downs of the game itself for ... half a dozen posts. All quite on topic and relevant.
