I've killed bots at hard points and they WILL shoot at you. Not accurately, but they will shoot at you.

Yes and if you stand next to them they can kick and kill you, but their not there to really hurt you or take hard points.

They're basically like creeps in a tower defense or a MOBA.

Re: Titanfall (Xbox One/360/PC)

I played a good chunk of the beta on a high end PC over the weekend. I left with mixed emotions. The game is fun, it's fast paced, it has a BF4-lite feel too it with Titans thrown in.

Do I think the game is going to be fun? Yes, I had a blast but do I think it's going to have longevity? Not sure. While some of us curse games like Battlefield 4 and Ghosts for basically putting a new skin and some features on the same model (play more, unlock better gear, weapons = be a better killer to a degree), you have to admit that the formula is tried and true and people keep coming back for more.

With that said, I'd be curious to see how much "stuff" Titanfall has at launch. What I mean is, what is going to be your motivation for logging a ton of hours in tons of matches. The beta plays well, looks awesome, (BF4 has better sounds though) but I'm more worried about the "MEAT" of the game. Is it going to be there? Is it going to be a enough? I have no doubts its going to sell like crazy and people are going to have fun, but the hype-train on Titan Fall is like a million miles into the stratosphere... I wonder if it's going to live up to the hype. Even if it doesnt, I think it will still be a worthy full price purchase, but the bar has been set so high by their own hype-team (and gamers too) I'm just curious...

That's a very good question and one I've thought about myself. I think it has so much hype that I don't know if there is anyway that it can meet those expectations.

It's going to do really really well in my opinion but I do feel like the hype is it's own worst enemy at times. People tend to hate the game before they even try it just because of the amount of hype and attention it's getting.

Personally I love it and can't wait for the full game!

I soooo wish there was a co-op horde mode on these maps or something.

Re: Titanfall (Xbox One/360/PC)

The bots aren't like normal bots we are all used too, but more like an atmosphere addition. They wont harm you or take hard points, but just add a battlefield type look to the game rather then 6 guys fighting another 6 guys for the whole universe. I've seen bots fighting each other in hand to hand, and also drag another wounded bot to safety. Its all atmosphere like ambient sounds.

People need to stop trying to force Titanfall style of gameplay into another FPS style of gameplay. It plays nothing like BF/COD/Quake/CS etc.. and thats why I enjoy it

EXACTLY! People need to realize this. It's a great change of pace from the other shooters.

Based off the Art book I think it would be awesome for them to have a Horde mode where you are in the Titan taking on the other species.

That would be pretty cool. I'm going to post that on their twitter account. A 6 user horde mode with Titans would off the hook! Wait, do people still say "off the hook" anymore?

Re: Titanfall (Xbox One/360/PC)

So is it true you can go through the game kicking people and killing them without ever using a gun?

I saw one video like such and think thats crazy

Re: Titanfall (Xbox One/360/PC)

@DirtyJerz32

@Respawn @Titanfallgame you guys should add a horde mode? 6 friends facing waves of Pilots/Titans #EPIC #AllHailTitanFall #CantWait

Re: Titanfall (Xbox One/360/PC)

Just had my best game yet. 20 pilot kills, 2 Titan kills. I f****** love this game! Both Titan kills were from the nuclear eject.

Should go to respawns beta forums and post a topic for it as well. I'll support.

This is my biggest question as well, the beta turned me from wait and see how the servers go to I want the full game immediately. They turned COD into a monster with their leveling system so I'm guessing they'll stick with what works with a cap around 60 with a bunch of guns and attachments and then you can prestige and restart. That'll definitely be a lot of fun for awhile but the real question is what this campaign multiplayer is.

Respawn answered a few questions during a twitch stream (http://majornelson.com/2014/02/17/re...all-questions/)

So far their still being super vague about it. It seems like it could be mostly co-op against AI enemies and sort of makes me think of Resistance 2 Co-op I want to say, maybe it was the first game. Sort of like Rush Mode in Battlefield but against AI, there are points to capture or blow up and also AI enemies coming at you. It's impossible to say right now but I would guess if they came up with something crazy and awesome they'd be talking about it a little more. I'm not saying it won't be fun or innovative, just that it won't be some sort of ground breaking amazing mode that everyone gets addicted to. Probably something we've seen before with a little extra added.

Either way, the basic multiplayer will be enough to keep me playing for awhile and if they can come up with a fun replayable campaign type mode then even better. The servers were great for me all weekend so even though I've been burned before by EA online games this past year I'm cautiously optimistic they'll be alright. Respawn has to much riding on this game to launch with questionable servers. They know if it's a mess for a month it could basically kill the studio. Hopefully their spending that EA money on making sure they can handle whatever the wildest internal projections they have for sales are and keep everyone happy during the first week.

The hype is indeed getting a little crazy but it's going in both directions. Lots of love but also a lot of hate from the die hard single player crowd and the Microsoft haters for it being exclusive. I just hope enough people buy it so it won't matter. Keep in mind the Xbone/PC version could theoretically bomb and they could still sell 2 million or something crazy on 360 in a few weeks and get rich since there are so many of those systems in homes already and they get the "From the guys that made the COD that made you all buy this system in the first place" message out there.

Please help me understand here...

So why is it that these bots aren't actually other players?

I'm assuming there is a reason they did this, limitations on the game's capabilities perhaps?

I honestly don't know and I'm genuinely curious.

Because of the way you get Titans. Since every player gets one, you'd have maps with 10,12,14, etc Titans on each side fighting. It would be a giant CF. Same with why there aren't destructible environments, the Titans would destroy them all.

One question I have with this game which could ruin experiences when retail hits is how are they handling achievements? Since the entire game is MP, you could have a bunch of idiots playing stupid because they just want the achievements. I remember when one of the Battlefield's (Bad Company 2 I think) had the run over X amount of trees in a tank, game would start and people would race to tanks and just drive over forests instead of helping the team win LOL. Just a question though.

That's what I really love about this game. As I said during the Alpha, I'm not good at killing Pilots. Titans on the other hand, I rack up a lot of Titan kills. And I've made that my moniker now. Btw, I finally saw the Stryder Titan. Someone had it last night. Looked nice. It's lack of durability was evident though.
