TitanFall

[Poetic Chaos]

Evolve is a completely different game type.. Co-operative rather than competitive. I mean maybe that's just your style.. Which is cool.

Exactly. It's definitely a preference thing. I think Titanfall is perfect for people into competitive shooters. I just don't think I am anymore.

So rumor has it right now that the final version of the game is going to have 17 MP maps. Now that is going to be awesome. I hope more of these FPS start taking this path in terms of dedicating most of their time on the MP to balance it as best as possible and omitting the single player as I literally never play them.

I would much prefer they spend their time trying to perfect MP instead of wasting time on single player.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

I agree for this game, COD and BF. I honestly don't even know how you'd work Titans into a linear campaign in an entertaining way.

But I hope Halo never loses focus on campaign. It's the the main and only draw for me for that franchise. I think shooters can have great stories and I hope that doesn't get forgotten in this era where DLC MP maps is king.

 

[craigdbfan]

Completely agree.

Destiny seems like fun too. I think that might be more up your alley too Poetic.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Holy hell this game is smooooooooth

 

[Benstamania]

Now I love SP.. But if a game wants to come out as MP focused.. And really focus on it.. That's great and they seem to really be doing it right. I mean.. 17 maps at launch? Damn.. That's impressive.

 

[craigdbfan]

I love when the other team is trying to evacuate and when you and your team get together to completely deny the other team of evac is one of the greatest feelings I've felt since my days playing custom/fun maps on CS 1.6.

 

[Benstamania]

Poetic, I don't think you ever have to worry about Halo, if anything they seem to be really focusing on SP now more than ever. Halo 4 really started fleshing out its story. Also, Destiny will probably be much more your game type.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Completely agree.

I think it might too. Hopefully I can get into that beta. I was really hyped for Titanfall and playing it early is gonna save me $60. If I don't change my mind. I still gotta play Hardpoints and Last Titan Standing.

I wonder how the PC community is going to be for this...

Also for me, while I have always enjoyed the Halo MP, the campaign is what has always mattered to me. It is what defines a Halo's quality for me.

This game is balls to the wall fun. So, so easy to get into as well. 2 matches in and I'm comfortable. The wall running couldn't be easier

How long does this thing last?

How long does this thing last?

I thought until the 17th but Vince Z just said they are going to extend it so they could run a max server stress test

 

[jacobed]

That is beautiful.

Wow, nice. I haven't really got much time to play anything this weekend but I'll give it a quick go tomorrow if its's still up.

 

[Iceman]

Win/loss is a lot more important in this game in my view than K/D will ever be. It really does emphasize team play a lot and in a much better way that BF or COD could ever dream of if you ask me.

Agreed... It really feels like they don't want you to care about your personal record.. But your record as a team.. Which is fantastic and I'm glad it won't be another game where people freak out about K/D and essentially ruin the fun of a game.

That's great, exactly how it should be. Everything should be about helping the team win, even if that actually does mean killing everyone. Just don't need any guys hiding & sniping far away from the action every game to boost their personal stats while the teams loses.

IDK, BFs team play is pretty good. Iv seen dudes with like 30 kills to 10 deaths only to be 5th or lower in the game because that's all they did. They didn't take objectives. From what iv seen in this, you get more points for like Titan and pilot kills. So you are really encouraged to take out the major threats.

On Rush on Bad Company 2 I would usually get top 3 or 4 but nearly always with a terrible K/D. Quite a few matches where I got ALL the MCOM stations, including all the attempts that failed. Noone wants to take the K/D hit by regularly risking dying for the objective.

Apparently the thing to do is talk down to people that manage to kill 28 bots and only 11 pilots.

I really hate most gamers.. Oh you might have killed almost 30 bots but only 11 plays.. In a SIX ON SIX game..

Yeah, I still had a better score than you so.. What's your excuse? If bots are that dumb why aren't you plowing through them?

Didn't just happen to me, but pricks were ribbing others guys too. So stupid, go back to CoD *******s.

 

[jacobed]

Haha that sounds like how I trash talk. Haha its fun to get people going over a video game especially Battlefield because they think they're this elite class Hahaha embarrassing

Thanks for the code Apocalypse. Altho something has gone wrong and the option to download the beta isn't popping up. MS says EA has been having issues, so i gotta contact them to get everything sorted out.

What do you think of the game dude? I played two games at my friends house yesterday. I enjoyed it, it kinda seemed easy when you're not in an actual Titan.

 

[jacobed]

It's easy because the grunts are so dumb. I think they'll change the ai intelligence just a bit. That's a hard balance to find

I was hoping we were leaving these idiots behind now that we had the $500 console. Was hoping they'd get priced out.

Yea, that was bound to happen. This game is going to attract a LOT of CoD guys and thats their MO. Plus its only 6 v 6, so its easier to trash talk compared to say a BF where you might never even come across some of the people in the game, whereas here, you most likely will see everyone at least once. However it doesnt matter, bots or pilots, your total score is whats important. Are you getting Titan kills and pilot kills and bot kills? Are you capturing points etc. 28 bots and 11 pilot kills isn't too bad and if you have a couple Titan kills in there, thats prob good enough for first place. My score tends to be similar when i finish first. Double digit pilot kills, around 30 bot kills and a few Titan kills.

I think its fantastic, absolutely fantastic. I think its easy in that, you can pick up the game and within 10 minutes you are comfortable with it, but other than that, it'll be as easy as the other team makes it. Iv seen dudes completely wreck shop and change the course of the match, iv also had games like that. So skilled players can deff be rewarded here.

Yea that is a really tricky balance, because people absolutely don't want to be killed by bots a bunch a times per match. I wouldn't mind either way, but i think the bots now are pretty good at what they are, which is basically fodder for you to increase your Titan build time.

One of the reasons i think this game is going to be a runaway hit, is because of the bots. Players do NOT like getting killed in games and they want to get a bunch of kills, the bots help with that. Players who are less skilled can get into this game, get a bunch of bot kills and get their titan and just have a fun time shooting s**t.

 

[jacobed]

They certainly help with the frustration levels. If the game isn't going the way you want at least you'll always have the bots to calm you down. I hope they don't increase the intelligence too much or have different game modes like a hardcore mode where they are much tougher

Sounds like a great way to keep casual players playing. I know Gears of War (mainly the 1st 2 games) always had this problem of getting past where it was due to the difficulty for new players to get any kills (although it's more rewarding when you get better). This way everyone can have a great time even if they are bottom of the scoreboard.
