Re: Titanfall (Xbox One/360/PC)

I know there were a lot of worries about this game being 6vs6, including me. But every game I have played has been intense and I forget it's 6 on 6. Granted the maps are small, but the Titans add so much. I'm really enjoying this game.

The infinite satchel charges burn card in capture the flag is pretty much unstoppable. Just put charges a few feet from the flag on either side, and when you get the notification that the flag has been taken, detonate.

I never do too well, so I had to show this off. 3 titans down in 30 seconds.

This was my epic moment for the night!

Both of those were awesome. I don't know how to do any of that crap yet. All I can do it shoot and call in a Titan , lol. As soon as I get in my Titan it's destroyed in about 10 seconds. I'm sure I will figure this stuff out.

Also, forgive my ignorance, but I'm not sure I'm understanding the post game stats. I know for a fact that I had about 10-12 in a couple of matchies last night, but it only showed 3. Does it not count all kills?

You'll figure it out with a little practice, (it's all timing with the Titan melee) I've had a head start with the Alpha and the Beta so that's helped me a bit.

EDIT: You should watch 32's stream. I was humbled by 32 last night, Was watching his stream for a bit and saw him make short work of about 4 or 5 Titans.

On the kills question. Depending on the game mode you won't see certain kills. I believe on hardpoint you don't see Titan kills and pilot hunter you won't see your minion kills.

Re: Titanfall (Xbox One/360/PC)

I'm starting to get the hang of the tactics, strategies, and pacing of the game. Its hectic but you have to be in control. If you are just running around blindly just hauling *** then you are going to have trouble. If you understand the purpose behind what you need to do and where you need to be you can run ****.

Stim pack + dodging someones fire + running behind them = Neck Snapping

Smg + Silencer = keeping you off radar does work

Re: Titanfall (Xbox One/360/PC)

Finally in, Origin kept pausing my install but whatever it is done.

Re: Titanfall (Xbox One/360/PC)

It's was funny to already see prestige logos last night. People just put way too much time into these games.

I didn't like the smg also found the silencer to hurt me more than help. Which is the complete opposite of most fps games for me.

Re: Titanfall (Xbox One/360/PC)

It's just a different animal than either one. I am a huge Battlefield fan and not much of a COD fan. Always been more into the slower paced mental skill to set up a kill and the accuracy to finish it off. Not the quick twitch reflex skill required in COD. This game kind of blends them both into something new. I personally have never understood the statements that Titanfall was a COD clone.

As was said previously there are so many different ways to attack each map it feels nothing like the tunnel vision just have to see the other guy first gameplay of COD. The verticality also adds another element to the entire map where as Battlefield does a good job with some verticality and densely populated spots, Titanfall makes the entire map a vertical threat. You don't have to find a stairwell or parachute up to a perch. You make your own way up from anywhere. But the ability to run up a wall by a capture point, activate your cloak and hang on the wall like Batman waiting for an unsuspecting victim to run into the capture room looking around on the ground is awesome (this is my favorite thing to do in the game and I rack up defense points with this strategy).

The titans add a whole new dimension to the fight that you have to intelligently manage to use them to maximum effectiveness. Knowing when and how to use your titan in guard/follow and piloted mode can effectively make you a one man wrecking team. There is just too much here to pigeon hole it as a COD clone. At the same time its not as expansive or methodical as Battlefield. But for me it blends a fantastic balance that creates a game that is just flat out fun and extremely addictive.

I do worry about longevity because there really does not seem to be much right now that will keep me playing for long given how much I am playing now. I fear the lack of unlocks (while I can completely understand the nightmare of balancing issues with new weapons given the gameplay) may doom this game in the long run. But that will be dictated by Respawn's commitment to DLC and what they can come up with.

Although I have a few gripes I admit I couldnt put the controller down last night. I can't detour anyone from buying TF because it does a lot of things really well.

Re: Titanfall (Xbox One/360/PC)

Hey all, I just published my review of Titanfall to Venturebeat and it's awaiting editorial approval to be published. If you've read my preview of the beta for Titanfall it will be a familiar read but it has been tweaked for the final build. Here is the full review:

TITANFALL: Revolutionary not evolutionary..

Last night I logged out of one of the most enjoyable gaming sessions I've had in as long as I can recall. The game I speak of?

Titanfall on the Xbox One.

That’s right, I’m sure you’ve heard of it. One can’t help but hearing about it as it’s one of the most hyped up games in the industry in years. But is it the game changer they say it will be for Microsoft? Well, here are my thoughts. I've played first person shooters (FPS) since Castle Wolfenstein, (the predecessor to Doom) which I recall purchasing at a local computer store for 25 cents on a 5 1/4" floppy. I have seen hundreds of games in those 30 some years that are hyped and probably 98% of them fail to match the hype.

Titanfall will not match the hype. It will lock onto it, obliterate it and then stomp all over it. Yes it's just that good. I want to set clear though that this constant comparison I hear to Call of Duty and Battlefield, both two very successful FPS in this era, is, quite simply, utter rubbish. I keep hearing that Titanfall is “COD with mechs”. This is absolutely false and in this article I will lay out the reason why it is completely and unequivocally false.

The first day I played the game was Tuesday on its release and I immediately took to the Titanfall forums to complain that I was disappointed in it because I was, as is typical for me, unable to survive for more than two seconds as I'm really not that great at FPS. I didn't like the matchmaking system which seemed unfair to me. I didn't like the fact I couldn't have any success at it and was hoping I would be matched with people who were, well kind of crappy at FPS like me, LOL.

The irony in that now I see... Titanfall is the first FPS that I think that I have ever played in which anyone, even people not great at aiming and traditionally get slaughtered in games like Call of Duty and Battlefield 4, are going to be able to succeed at. Yes if you're a wonder kid at those other FPS you'll do just fine as well, assuming you play smart.

And that's the key, what is best about Titanfall. It's not just a run-aim and gun game like most FPS. It's a thinking man's game. Yes that's right, you read it correctly, if you're smart but crappy on the joystick, like me, you will still find you have a lot of success quite frequently. I'll give you a couple of examples.

For starters there's an auto-aim pistol that you can choose when you start the game. You just aim in the general direction of an enemy and after about 2 full seconds it will lock on. Just shoot several times and POW! your enemy is dead! Of course the creators of Titanfall knew to balance the gun so that it's not all powerful as well though. It's weak in close quarters combat and it does take a couple of seconds to lock on. You will find you die quite often waiting for the lock on. But it does have its upside if you're sneaky and can get lock ons for those of you out there who aren't quite a joystick jockey anymore (or ever were, LOL)

Secondly, just about every action has an alternate reaction that you can use to counter it. It's sort of the rock-paper-scissors concept. You're in a Titan with huge guns and missiles? Ok, I'll be a pilot who turns invisible, parkours onto a roof, hits you with a lock on Titan missile and then runs quickly before you knew where it came from and does the same thing again. But woe is me if you do spot me, one shot at me with those big guns and I'm dead...

Lastly, the game actually rewards you quite well for defending instead of just mindlessly attacking. My favorite game mode by far is the Hardpoint game mode which gives you three waypoints, A, B and C to capture and defend. It seems that about 90%-95% of FPS gamers only enjoy attacking. Not me, I enjoy defending. Defending is fun as hell. And guess what? I'm pretty damned good at it I found. I cloak myself invisible, jump up on a wall and crouch there, waiting for someone to come into my waypoint. As soon as they do I drop a frag grenade, if they don't hear it, and they usually don't, then two seconds later they're DEAD...and I get big time points. And all without having to run, aim and gun someone down like I would to get points in COD or other FPS.

Like I said, on my first night I was complaining about the game, wasn't enjoying it, finishing last every single time in my group of six. But two days later, because I learned HOW to play differently and I learned how to utilize all the tools and tricks at my disposal, I was finishing 1st or 2nd nearly every time on my team, despite the fact I was level 8 or 9 and all of my teammates were typically much, much higher level!

This is why Titanfall is going to be HUGE: it's not just a shooter; it is a strategy game posing as a first person shooter.

“Call of Duty with mechs”? Nope, Titanfall is so much more than that. It’s not an evolutionary concept, as that insulting phrase implies, it’s a revolutionary concept that is going to change how people look at FPS but most importantly it’s going to grow the FPS gaming scene into a much larger one that can encompass gamers who don’t spend 10 hours per day playing the game and/or that have the reflexes of a 13 year old on Mountain Dew.

Bottom line – is the game fun? Hell yes its fun; it’s fun even when you’re losing! And that’s when you know you’ve found a special game. If you at all like playing FPS then buying this game is a no-brainer. This is especially true if enjoy first person shooters but do not like to play online because you cannot compete too well. Knowing that, in this day and age, innovation can actually occur in a supposedly tired and repetitive genre as the first person shooter is one of the best revelations that this 44 year old gamer has had in a long time....

Can you same game changer? Its name is Titanfall.
