Multiplat Titanfall

[nameless]

Yep have been getting a fair bit of lag myself which is odd considering its dedicated servers One bloke would have full bars and the rest of us 1 or everyone with full bars and 1 bloke on 1 bar that just couldn't be touched.

Should the connection bars even be there considering its dedicated servers? perhaps they've pulled a dodgy CoD move and have introduced some p2p servers.

You still have to connect to the dedicated servers, there is still a ping.

Everyone has different internet/location etc.

Seeing more pilots than AI, now there's a first. Game would be much more enjoyable without bot fodder.

Nice work

They seem to have buggered a lot of things up in the last patch?

Well they've got the DLC maps on separate rotation to the vanilla maps.

This fractures an already fractured Australian community even more.

It's hard enough finding a non-Attrition match

Interesting. Looks like what Ive noticed on X1 is worse on PC

Capture the Flag and Pilot Hunter playlists have been removed from the PC version of Titanfall.


Respawn said the two modes can still be played via Private Matches and Variety.

The playlist culling was due to “overlong wait times” which caused a “poor experience” for players.

“We have an amazing and large PC audience with the vast majority of users predominantly playing Attrition and Hardpoints game modes,” said Respawn in an update on its blog. “CTF and Pilot Hunter have not been widely used modes on the PC version, so players trying to access these modes had overlong wait times to find other users and it was making for a poor experience.

“We want to make sure that not only is there compelling content in the playlists we offer, but that the experience of joining a match works well. We’re tracking what playlists players are choosing, and we’re going to continue to look at unpopular playlists and add new ones on both platforms.”

All the Battlefield guys gave this away ages ago.

$80 for effectively 1 non objective game mode and 2 viable guns...?

The premise that the game has died is weird. It hasnt.

The variety is poor compared to Battlefield, but its not as bad as its made out.

Also, unlike BF, Titanfall works.

bf has gametypes with slight differences. 2 team death, 2 conquest.... and barely anything on top. compare that with halo with action sack, griffball,etc.
titanfall variety is down right shocking.

It's the 1st in the series, the core gameplay is as good as any shooter other than a functioning Battlefield.

That variety will come. MS would have been pressuring the **** out of them to get the product to market aswell.

Destroys COD, good balance with maps and fast smooth pace.

Destroys Bf4 with stability.

Needs more variety though IMO

 

[Mister Carlton]

COD and BF4 both don't have bots.

 

[GeelongFTW]

IMO it has the best core gameplay of any twitch however it is let down by its lack of variety.

Yes better than bf

I think this sums it up. BF is still the best when its working but its entirely different as a shooter.

IM drolling at the thought of a Titanfall 2 with a heap more variety of modes, guns and stuff...and a stable, working next Battlefield.

That's the only shooter rotation Ill ever want

 

[GeelongFTW]

Tbh I still prefer an engagement style shooter(halo)over a twitch. Combat feels richer. Titanfall (twitch aspect) excels with the bits not in combat (aka wall running ,etc.) while the actual shooting bit is meh. Halo's combat makes you feel satisfied when you kill someone because you actually had to use skill not just spam the trigger

Yeah, but Titanfall is actually playable.

 

[GeelongFTW]

Do you guys now there is a companion app for the game? Xb1 needed

What's an engagement style shooter? Ive never heard that term.

Also, IMO Halo requires as much skill as Titanfall. I dont see a difference there. If anything the verticality of Titanfall add a layer of skill that Halo doesnt have.

... And?

Wonder what your POV would be if this was a Sony exclusive?

Yep BF4 is easily the best when it's working. Titanfall 2 hopefully will address the issues with the original

Haven't you? Well it pretty much refers to the time it takes to kill an ememy with a standard weapon.
In cod,bf,titanfall, etc., you see a guy press the trigger for a very short period of time and then they're dead so it's usually the first person to see wins the battle. (Thus 'twitch')

In something like halo (with a standard weapon) it takes a considerable time to get a kill. You need to land x amount of shots to score a kill so a battle to get x can occur. (Thus 'engagement') the person who sees the guy first only gets an advantage and is not guaranteed' a kill like they are in a twitch and I guess I get a bigger sense of accomplishment when getting a kill coz I had to work for it.

I dont think the gap is as big as you're making out.

I havent played Halo in a year or 2 but there are some near one shot kill weapons.

That's different-they're power weapons.

An ordinary game is an ordinary game regardless of a system.

Ok. I havent played it in a while so Im talking out of my arse.

It would be nice if they get rod of the killstreaks and weapon drops and go back to an arena type of shooter
