gaming Titanfall discussion thread

[akalink 163]

I've decided to do a little research on this game, and to be honest, it looks really cool with the exception of one thing.

 

The game is going to be another multiplayer focused shooter, I personally don't have a problem with that. I actually think this game could overtake Call of Duty as the big blockbuster game. It is more fast paced than CoD and it reward you for doing it well.

 

The problem is that when you get into the Titan armor, you are also really susceptible to the enemies. When people get into these mechs and get their flanks handed to them by a guy who snuck up on them, they are going to rage hard. In fact I think this game could have a very toxic community in the gaming sphere, considering its going to be first on Xbox One (and less importantly PC). I don't think I would want to be participating in this games multiplayer.

i personally love everything they showed about this game.

and well, i see your point with the rabid 12 year olds raging hard. but that's why they invented the mute button. it is probably the most used button in COD for me anyway.

[Spartan 433]

The mech problem is actually a good thing.. you're already OP'd with it as it is.. but being bulky and all that, thus allowing the enemy to sneak up on it. So its sort of balanced.

 

I think it will be like Battlefield, but with mechs.. and i can not wait im going to get Titanfall a little bit after launch though

[Hyper Tumble 1,483]

I think that the people who don't know how to use the Mechs will either quit the game, or stay away from them, Darwinizing the multiplayer community

[Scootalove 10,689]

Titanfall is a pretty good game, since it has the fast paced style like Call of Duty but both of their communities are totally different. Luckily, the mute button was made for a good reason to keep the 12 year olds from raging.

          It's still too early to say but as of right now I'm not really all impressed. As it stands all I really see is a new coat of paint of CoD with type B Mech's from Hawken. If I really want a focus on infantry/mech combat I'll wait for 2143, that is whenever EA gives Dice the green light.  :okiedokielokie:

I have great hope for this game.

 

Out of all the Xbox One games, this is the most promising.

 

It's kind of like battlefield and the transformers combined from what I've seen.

[FadedSkies 1,874]

This game is what caught my eye out of all the others. It looks really cool and the graphics look really good too. I am buying an Xbox One and i think this is going to be a blockbuster game kinda like halo.

[Mutemutt 773]

It looks like an ok game to me so far. As much as I like mechs, what I've seen so far just doesn't excite me. I think the problem is that I think this will be another run n' gun with a mech twist.

 

Status: Wait and see  :okiedokielokie:

But if you use your meh wisely, and at the right time you won't have to worry.

As said in an interview with one of the devlopers, "It takes a minute to learn and a lifetime to master."

So rathe rthan hopping in yer titan right away, clear an area, get somewhere up kep your flank covered.

Also, did you know that if you call your titan (they're called titans) down, you can have then cover your flank and other things without you having to get in? Yeah.

Titanfall is in closed Alpha now, and with it has come some leaked gameplay footage.

This looks like a really, really awesome game and I can't wait to get my hands on it. The graphics look amazing and the feel of it was great.

 

EDIT: Another game without annoying people talking: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x19x61p_tf_videogames?start=1

Graphics looks absolutely amazing! Too bad its not for PS4

 

Thanks for sharing

I've been saying it since the announcement...This game is going to blow.

 

Part of the team behind Titanfall did one hell of a job on Modern Warfare 2 (the greatest shooter ever made), but this game looks like a massive disappointment. I don't like the futuristic concept. Also, what's up with bots being on the battlefield? Horrible, horrible idea. If I wanted to face bots I would play Combat Training in COD or a mode similar to that.

Less importantly PC?

 

For a toxic community yes, but PC will effectively drive the games development and the competitive scene is there ever is one! If u can get it on PC why get it on xbox?

#pcmasterrace

 

Anyways, yeah looking forward to it. If they make it right it should make bad people rage. If you can't deal with being killed in an dps then you shouldn't be playing it.

 

Looking forward to placing it tho, will be making a team after a short time if it turns out to be good

[Flutter's lover <3 8,206]

Beta keys are being given out...whogot one?

 

I got mine in an email today. Downloading it now. Not sure what to expect, it looks decent but I dunno. from the makers of CoD,I dunno...CoD has always been "meh"

 

The mechs sound like an interesting concept and a nice change from your generic FPS like CoD and BF.

I played some of the beta on my friends PC after he got a key, and I had this super long winded, almost page long review and impression of the game. 

 

But then totalbiscut made a completely comprehensive review of the beta, and made my review a moot point.

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv9uuQ3T69E

 

pretty much covers my entire thoughts on the game. 

[spezzzzzhdafuigb 49]

I honestly really enjoy the fact that they put parkour game mechanics (wall running, slides, etc) and I look forward to performing those assassination things on the mechs (they look awesome). I really wish there was a campaign though.

EA pls

I'd have loved to sign up for beta, but it's not available on 360.  

[Spartan 433]

Once i figure out how to record stuff on Xbox One, ill post some vids if you all want

[NotInUse 64]

I played the beta, it's fun and all but it can get a little repetitive but hopefully they add more gamemodes and maps otherwise it will get boring after a week

 

But I do like the parkour elements but sniping can be real hard this time around with everyone running really fast and jumping on buildings and etc

It's just a beta, so it's going to be fairly limited. Hence 2 maps and a level cap of 14.

Yeah, but according to TotalBiscuit it's more of a Demo 

[Flutter's lover <3 8,206]

No idea who that is. o.O

 

Played it abit mroe tonight...Hardpoint is real fun. Leveled up at least once each game,(getting 5000+ xp each game) Teammates can be really useless...I joined 2 games that were half done and I was at the top of the leaderboard with in 2 minutes of joining.

 

Still a fun game.

 

I have yet to figure out how to "rodeo" a titan though.....and how to get a guy that's "rodeoing" me off of my Titan.

[Chacobos 160]

It's a okay game but nothing near fantastic. It felt similar to Respawn's work on CoD but the parkour and mechs make it feel fresh enough to play. With that said I just feel it will get stale after a few months. Then there's the fact it's fucking EA publishing it, prepare for loads of planned DLC and possibly a broken game at launch. A lot can change from a working beta to the final product

[Katana 298]

Let's see what I can say of this:

 

THE GOOD

-There's definitely been some effort going into balancing and making elements fun. Little things like the Overshield that appears on your Titan during the time it's waiting for you to get in obviously had some thought to them. When you got a killstreak reward in Call of Duty, that was usually a signal flare to enemies that "Someone is going to be standing still facing a wall for 3 seconds"

-Even in a 6v6 match, the game adds easily-killed NPC characters to give you more to do in the level. Killing them can get you closer to the objective, or decrease your Titan spawn time.

-If you actually find yourself liking the out-of-Titan gameplay, Titans can be put into autopilot mode simply by leaving. They won't be quite as effective as when you're in them, but sometimes having both of you around is worth it. I've had my autopilot survive fights with another Titan when I'm helping it out

-Double-jumps and ledge grabs make maneuverability much stronger than in the Call of Duty games. The tallest rooftops are accessible to you, and finding ways to jump down on top of an enemy Titan is an important strategy.

 

THE BAD

-Each one of the game's individual mechanics tends to feel like it was thrown in on top of everything else, rather than to *complement* other mechanics. There's no teamwork to speak of, none of your weapons and tools really "work together" in some way, and the game's most popular gamemode doesn't involve objectives.

-The game does Cloaking WRONG. As many, many, many, many, many games have found out: If the game renders the cloak *at all*, then it is not Cloaking. It's "shimmering". No players, myself included, are fooled whatsoever by the cloak. Team Fortress 2 did it correctly - do not render the player whatsoever, but ensure that they cannot immediately attack from that state.

-Fights between titans can become very polarized. The combination of an overshield and slow hull damage mean that if one side outnumbers another just a bit, or learns to hide more often, then they might never receive anything past Shield damage. I've had more than one game where NO one on one team has been able to destroy a Titan on the other team.

-Published by EA. Doesn't affect gameplay itself, but be freaking wary.
