Mate and me theorised that Respawn Entertainment needed to bring a cashcow to the table to balance the scales from Titanfall 2's sales so that they can make Titanfall 3 afterwards when they may or may not make some serious bank from Apex Legends.
basically, make br game, get money, get TF3.
Just something we thought about.

@J_C Do you wanna pop this in the OP?
My first game I melee'd a guy 4 times and he didn't die. That's when I decided the game isn't for me.
I'm actually really curious how many people are actually putting money into Apex. It's very popular but is it making them a lot of money?
There doesn't seem to be a lot worth buying at the moment.
I've had a few squad mates play him, the problem to me is that he's a "trapper" but his traps are super obvious giant gas balloons that are easy to avoid. Make them smaller or only inflate when they're about to pop. There's also not many areas most places he can completely lock someone in enough where they can't escape to call it useful imo.
That's a bad take, if melee's were instakills everyone'd just play Wraith and gg game's over. I WILL say that finishers take too long and melee on downed enemies should do more damage, but if you have full health and armor i'd hardly expect to be able to punch you to death.
I don't have Caustic but one of my friends who does told me you can shoot your own gas balloons to pop them. Give that a try.
Also, people in your smoke are totally fucked if you're nearby. Not only does it slow them, but you can see them in it when they may not be able to see you. It's good.
I'm willing to bet streamers are making more money than the devs lol.
Done.
The move to free to play is necessary since they're competing with Fortnite, the biggest f2p game right now, and have to spread out to a larger crowd, since they undeniably upset a lot of veteran Titanfall players during the initial announcement.
Plus Titanfall itself, despite the stellar critical reception of 2 and generally beloved, was snubbed by Battlefield and Call of Duty in terms of popularity so a lot of people haven't even heard or touched the prior game before. Judging from the reception so far it seems to be paying off. Time will tell how they'll support the game in the long term and how attractive the paid features are through the game's lifespan.
Looks more like a tic-tac which is kicking yourself off the wall to spring higher into the air. Which would be cool if that was intended.
this animation is reminding me of like, some early 2000s newgrounds shit
well then you should recommend him the Titanfall series, especially Titanfall 2 since it's got an excellence campaign. Get more people to know about the series through this game and we might get the sequel we wanted tbh.
I can see the reason for no advanced movement from Titanfall 2 since it can be frustrating to play against for most BR players, but still the movement we have is amazing among all the other BR games.
They can probably add a "Pilot" character later on with those advanced movements, and that even fit the lore since it's the Pilots who are able to wallrun and shit in previous games.
Also I just realized how lame it is Bloodhound just has a regular crow and not some cool alien bird.
When the first battle pass thing comes out there will be a reason to buy stuff, but right now there isn't really much point. There's only the 2 champions, and I'm just going to wait until I get enough in game currency to get them rather than dropping real money on them.
What was wrong with the already existing discord for Titanfall universe related stuff?
Yeah, honestly this just seems like a pain in the ass and splits the FP community up a bit more than it needed. A new text channel for Apex game hunting would have been fine. A whole new discord seems overkill.
Im screaming internally right now (as ill wake my housemates if I do it externally)
Just had a game where I revived both my squad mates while also getting 7 kills and >1500 damage.
Down to the last 3 squads and my lads wipe again, hear the other two fighting so take the chance and cause some more deaths for them
Just me and the last enemy left, im bangalore with a threat detector scope so I can abuse smoke to get free damage, easiest win of my life.jpg
Nope origin decides now is the time to minimize my game to inform me one of my friends has come online, tab back in to being dead.
Thankyou ea
Not my clip this time, but Frothy(Omen) kinda shows a fun aspect, panic grapple into knockdown

Huh. He's playing with a guy I knew before he moved to the US. Small world
You'd be surprised. As soon as one person buys one of the legends you have to unlock and starts using them, they may end up convincing others to buy that legend with real money instead of grinding it out. This happens and just multiplies and multiplies, and once most people have the legends, it starts trickling down to the cosmetics. Once everything balances out and the main way of differentiating yourself is cosmetics, people will buy those cosmetics due to their desire to be "different" and "unique."
The real bulk of the money for them is going to come from the battle passes though. If they take the Fortnite approach and essentially allow you to pay for the next season's battle pass with enough play from the current, I could see it being very lucrative for them. If they fuck it up initially, then word will get out to not buy them and less people will.
I'm very much thinking this game will probably pay for itself in its first month, so even if the game starts losing masses of players as people get bored and move back to PUBG and Fortnite, EA will have at the very least broke even on investment. I'll at least give credit to EA and Respawn though. The game is definitely a cash grab, but it's at least one with some effort and a bit of passion put into it. I'll at least keep playing it until it goes to shit.
If people would prefer I don't mind deleting, if whoever running the TF2 one wants to add some new channels/rename it to something that iset TF2 exclusive etc?
Rate agree to delete, disagree to keep
I hope they add a solo mode, I feel like I'm such a burden to the other players. It's such a fun game tho, the movement is so flowy and satisfying.
I hope they add a solo mode, as well. Or at least duos. I'm really sick of queuing up with a party of 2, and then the random who has never played a video game in his life being given drop leader.
Anyone up for some games?
Any advice on how to be a good Wraith? Just downloaded the game to give it a shot and I love portal abilities so I'd like to focus on her a little. However, in the 3 or 4 matches I've played so far I couldn't really find any situations to use her ultimate at all.
Yo add up Icemazz on Origin, playing at the moment with a friend and could do with a third
Penguin avatar, I be Softie2 if so
hot take: I hope Respawn stick with squads only because multiple queues just splits up the community and makes the wait times much longer which would get exponentially worse as the playercount naturally declines over the lifespan of the game
