Multiplat Titanfall 2

[KissKiss]

My opinion from the inital beta to today has changed dramatically. Rate this just behind Overwatch as the best multiplayer shooters of 2016.

At $39 its an absolute no brainer purchase.

Agreed the improvements were great and the campaign was awesome. short but great

Spent one of my longest sessions in a while on this last night, 4 hours pretty much straight just playing the campaign.

Very absorbing and entertaining. Back on it now as I can't get enough!

Has such a good feel and I really enjoy no cutscenes popping up every 2 seconds to tell me story that I don't care about. Everything is told within the world and game as I go.

The combat feels great and the campaign has this feel between a Turok and Singularity (an underrated game from last gen). It's really well done.

I'll move onto the MP when I'm done with the campaign but it definitely already looks dead in the water with only a few thousand on when I looked last night.

You'll get a game playing Attrition in MP easy enough. Other game modes will struggle

I choose one of the lowest ping US servers. Always find games quickly on any more. The lag does hurt every now an then, but Im shit anyway so hard to tell.

 

[Premiers04]

Averages around 14k most nights, weekdays can potentially drop to around 7k. No trouble finding attrition games, which is the best mode anyway.

I mostly play on the American servers and have no problem finding a game in any mode.

 

[Spirit Level]

Can easily find hardpoint games on US servers and the lag doesn't really affect me

LOL

Finished the campaign, don't think I've finished a game that quick for a long time.

I feel like after the part I left it on yesterday it didn't quite keep the momentum it had going for it, but overall a very good campaign.

Now onto the MP!

The time jump stuff is great fun.

 

[Spirit Level]

Spoiler

Was not ready for that ending

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

I'd almost play full price just for the Last Titan Standing mode.

Finally got myself to G01 before. Just wishing for some more maps now as the current ones are starting to wear thin.

My most common load out:
Pulse blade
Flatline (because I have regenned R201 twice and want to use something different)
Arc smoke
Thunderbolt
Map hack boost and low profile to troll enemy titans
Tone Titan.

Livefire mode been out for a few weeks. Its sweet.

DLC announcement coming tomorrow, but the gameplay core of this series is special. I love it.

Good news and bad news.

Bad news is that EA has bought Respawn Entertainment for about $400 million so RIP Respawn in about 5 years.

Good news is that the contract that they signed has metacritic performance bonuses included tied to their new Star Wars project and Titanfall 3 (per Kotaku).

So congrats to those of us who played it, we're getting a sequel to the best shooter package of the generation.

Titanfall 3 will play nothing like the first two, if EA mandate it must be written in Frostbite.

West and Zampella must absolutely be cleaning up. When they started Respawn and became an EA partner they made sure they owned all future IP rights, now this massive windfall on top of everything they would have received from their earlier days with EA and Infinity Ward. If they get shafted I’m sure they’ll just pick the team up and start again.

 

[Dockerjonz]

Played this again the other day,looks like multiplayer is a lobby with all modes included?
I should get back into the campaign to get used to the controls again

Was that also in the contract?

EA have mandated all their games must be made on the Frostbite engine. Not sure why they'd make an exception for Respawn now they own them?

Respawn used the Source engine to build Titanfall 1 and 2.

Enjoying the game but I don't think the campaign is the masterpiece a lot of people say (mainly on GAF).

Up to Viper and I can't even beat him on easy hlol. Man I suck at first person shooters

I think it's mostly for one particular level. I thought the campaign was better than most that get added on seemingly as an afterthought in most online FPS games but there was one certain level (the time travelly one) that was a standout.

The game has one all-time classic FPS level. But the rest of the campaign is full of variety and nothing feels like it outstays its welcome.

From beginning to end it's an excellent ride. The biggest criticism I could level against it is that the narrative is mostly fluff. But the gameplay is so god damn good it doesn't matter.

IIRC I found Tone to be the best when facing Viper.

I thought the campaign was really good and hit a crescendo with the time travel level. I don't think it was really able to score as big a win in terms of cool gameplay mechanics throughout the remainder of the campaign and I think it lost a little luster in the last couple of levels. A lot of the wall run puzzles, especially earlier on, were really fun and well-designed. Much like Doom, TF2 was really good at making you feel like a bad ass during the campaign with its fast-paced gameplay and array of cool abilities and weapons, whether on foot or in the Titan.
