Welcome to the Titanfall General Thread!
Here, we can discuss whatever you like in regards to the Titanfall franchise!
Titanfall is a shooter game played from a first-person perspective. Players fight as free-running foot soldier "pilots" who can command agile, mech-style exoskeletons—"Titans"—to complete team-based objectives. The game is set on derelict and war-torn colonies at the Frontier fringe of space exploration as either the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation (IMC) or the Frontier Militia.

Apex Legends is out now, if anyone wants to give it a go.

Off to a walking start.
What great timing for me to start a thread.
There is also no Titanfall 3 in the works, sadly.

Sorry about the downer of a thread OP.
Here I was thinking Bioware was gonna be next on the kill list after Visceral
Someone had to make the thread, and for what it's worth I hope people find their way into Titanfall 2 because of the constant noise from people complaining about all the unique things that Apex Legends doesn't have going for it. But at the same time, I know that won't happen because AL is a fundamentally different game designed to keep people playing it, and Titanfall 3 isn't happening.

I know this is comparing apples and oranges, but Titanfall maps make up some of Apex Legends's PoI and I can't imagine those environments without envisioning all of these features coming together in this kind of situation.
It's like having someone shit on your hopes and dreams, leave for 10 minutes, and then resume the shit.
Remember to disable this shit as its enabled by default, the game violates GDPR out of the box.

remember when titanfall was relevant and people here actually played it
At least Titanfall 2 still has a player base. It's small, but it exists. Lets get those numbers back up though.
Yeah, no wallrunning or double jumps eh?
I'm out.
Didn't even play the damn thing but if this is our "titanfall 3" I'm fucking done
Fuck off EA. You've literally killed too many parts of my childhood/teen years for me to ever let that shit go.
Been looking at videos for this and I honestly have no clue what they were aiming for with this one. I love the Titanfall series and this just feels like such a slap in the face.
Remove Titans
Remove all interesting movement mechanics
You had the chance to do something great, to make a BR game that stood out from all the rest due and you blew it, well done. Theres now a contender for "Missing the mark of your game the hardest" against valves artifact (though at least this shit doesn't have the gall to expect you to pay for it)
I did see a couple of people who liked Titanfall 2 across FP. I thought that perhaps people might find a community to play Titanfall 2 with here.
AL is going to be an entirely different game with its own crowd, and I might play it for a bit.
My true love has always been Titanfall, though. Titanfall 2 is cheap right about now.
When we started [Apex Legends] we were building off Titanfall 2, and we
didn't know we weren't going to have double jump or wall running or
titans," he tells me. "The choice to not have those came about because
of play-testing against our goals: to have a strategic, learnable,
masterable, deep game.
Are they joking with us? The wall running and double jumping was part of what made Titanfall strategic, masterable, and deep. Maintaining momentum was a skill in and of itself, akin to bunnyhopping slightly, and was what set the good apart from the amazing. It gave you reason to keep coming back and improve.
Fuck it.
Does anyone want to just go back to TitanFall 2 and have at it again?
That game was no joke, my most played, most beloved mutliplayer game of all time. Lets say fuck you to this bullshit Apex Legends nonsense and just go home, to TitanFall 2.
I'm happy to play whenever. The main reason I haven't played for a while was due to a lack of people to play it with.
I'm legitimately upset about this because I loved Titanfall 2 so much, and after creating a thread it has become apparent truly how AL has soured everyone's taste. Truthfully, I don't know what else I expected.
I'm sorry if I come off as too optimistic; I figured perhaps it would be good to share some good times and love for the series, in spite of the massive cyst that is AL getting in the way.
I reinstalled Titanfall 2 last month on PC but couldn't matchmake into any games. Really wanted to get back into it but couldn't.
Due to the small player base you've got to pick and choose your times really carefully. I managed to get two matches the other night at like 10:30PM, as soon as it hit 11PM I was unable to match within a minute. My mixtape is pretty much locked to Attrition, Bounty Hunt (dead) and Titan Brawl right now.
Playtesters are a disease.
Played a round of Apex, its an alright BR game. But I have a tendency to try and wallrun and jump off all of the Titanfall 2 assets. I feel like a bird with its wings clipped.
I felt like a caterpillar moving across open terrain and engaging enemies in long drawn out fights. It feels like a game designed to appeal to the widest audience possible and make money, rather than a labor of love and art piece that of TF2.
This game is doing great promotion for Titanfall 2 lmao
That and unless you have a coordinated team of 3 on discord, you'll get stomped. Played with my bud and the pub always ran off and died right away.
Apex is pretty good tbh.
Is it worth losing Titanfall 3? Nope.
But it's alright.
Could just be marketing talk. Rumors have implied that Titanfall 3 is in the works, and that the game could've even had been released as soon as late last year, it's just that they want to drop Source since they feel that the engine is "outdated" and apparently didn't want to release the game with such a technology this late into the generation, so TF|3 will probably take a little while longer due to Respawn going through the process of adopting a new engine (probably Frostbite since that appears to be a mandate applied to every EA-owned studio).
Perhaps, but I'd not put it past EA-owned and controlled Respawn now to just drop Titanfall 3 proper until they either tank so bad they HAVE to make it, or until after whatever their Star Wars game is comes out and lives for a while.
But yeah, fuck Apex, play Titanfall 2.
I installed just to check, it's still Respawned Source engine. So thankfully it might be possible that all the features stripped out of this from previous games could be added back in at a later date.
Not sure how people can praise apex in my opinion, the shooting feels inconsistent with spotty hit detection, the guns themselves feel terrible to use, the 'looting' is barebones and weapons are far too scarce, the movement feels like im trying to run in molasses with constant seemingly random slow-downs, the UI is horrific and bloated with shit constantly floating all over the screen.
Forced squads, gaudy cosmetics that don't fit the world, lackluster graphics customization, poor VAs for the characters, sketchy looking animation work.
All-in-all, even from the simple perspective of ranking this as a shooter, it's just not good.
>No titans
>No Jetpacks
>No wall runs
>Grappling Hook bound to Q
>Can't always take grappling hook
>No EPG
Why not just add fox only and final destination on there and get it over with.
I played three rounds and nothing stood out from any other battle royale, you loot for a bit, get the nice purples and ammo and have a plinkety plink long range fight with an enemy group sometime near the end. I highly doubt it's going to go anywhere and will give EA the final excuse they need to complete the cycle.
What they did with titanfall2's launch crippled respawn, this might well just be slitting their damn throat.
Guess me and my friends are the only ones liking this. And that's coming from someone who loves Titanfall 2 with all their heart. I had no expectations for this game, but I found it good and fun.
As for the shooting being inconsistent and spotty? It's literally Titanfall 2. It's the same engine, and the same guns.
Stuffed in a large scale battle royale scenario, with physical bullets (NOT hitscan, like the original).
If you believe it's the same then you must not have played titanfall 2 all that much.
They are hitscan though? What?
