Titanfall Alpha Footage (Watch it before it gets taken down) - General

I imagine the mechs will be like LAV's in Battlefield where you can rack up kills pretty easily but if you overextend and get away from your infantry support (guys to shoot the baddies aiming launchers at you, to shoot baddies jumping on your mech to disable it) you will die really fast.

Looks fun, but I refuse to give EA any of my money.

Don't get me wrong, I hate what CoD did to the industry; but this looks pretty awesome. Edit: Looks too easy to get a Titan though.

[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;43586281]Looks like a cod clone with a neat wall-climbing system with some sci-fi gimmicks. The AI, or what I'm assuming are AI, is terrible. The mechs remind me of the tanks from Cod: WaW. Easy to drive and kill idiots with, but insanely easy to take out and easily avoidable if you're infantry.

Shit this looks like plenty of fun. I hope there will be more inspired weapons to come. I was hesitant about this but after seeing the alpha gameplay I'm positive I'll buy it eventually. Did they say to the press whether it will be on steam or Origin? Because if it's the latter I'm still hesitant.

Origin only so far.

[QUOTE=Linkmister;43595280]Not sure if this has been posted yet or not but I found this [url]http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x19x61p_tf_videogames[/url][/QUOTE] This gameplay is probably the best I've seen so far and actually makes the game look really exciting.

The whole atmosphere and visual design they have going on is awesome, but gameplay wise looks a LOT like Cawadoody with couple gimmicks. Not to say it's necessarily a bad thing, it'll probably do what cod does better.

I wonder if you actually can drop in and out of a titan.

[QUOTE=ProffesorAssHat;43604189]Why does nobody mention World at War ever?[/QUOTE] Because WaW was what set off the chain reaction of CoD games every year (even though WaW was pretty good).

You can set the Titan to guard mode, or follow you around. 2:08 in this video [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX6b6s47N8Q[/media]

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;43605520]Because WaW was what set off the chain reaction of CoD games every year (even though WaW was pretty good).[/QUOTE] Nah, the only CoD game that wasn't released a year after the previous one was CoD2. Every single one after that had [I]at least[/I] yearly releases because that's when they had two teams working on the games

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;43605520]Because WaW was what set off the chain reaction of CoD games every year (even though WaW was pretty good).[/QUOTE] CoD2 (2005), CoD3 (2006), CoD4 (2007), WaW (2008) I don't think it was World at War, to be honest.

[QUOTE=ProffesorAssHat;43604189]Why does nobody mention World at War ever?[/QUOTE] WaW was just a reskinned CoD4, I always considered it more of a standalone expansion than a separate game. Still very good.

So is this really origin exclusive? I was hoping since it's source engine, that they had to make a contract where it uses steamworks :(

i got in the alpha and honestly i think its fun, it does feel like COD gameplay wise but to me that's a good thing. i probably will buy it on release.

Eh... suffers all of the modern FPS problems.

[QUOTE=Pappi_man;43609667]Eh... suffers all of the modern FPS problems.[/QUOTE] Such as?

Another [URL="http://www.dailymotion.com/titanfallalpha#video=x19ywkf"]dude[/URL] shared 3 videos with Titanfall alpha gameplay, although he captured the monitor, not ingame capture. Ignore the random noise and lack of noise suppression.

It looks like a more polished Blacklight Retribution with more focus on the mechs. Not incredibly impressive tbh.

A cod clone where you play as a soldier that can get into a slightly bigger soldier. The only reason this game is so popular is that it's the best game on the next gen right now. Hint: Best game on next gen doesn't mean it's a good game universally. It's like saying that shit is good because it's better than other shit. If it was released only on PC/consoles without all the crazy next gen hype, it would be forgotten just like all the other countless cod clones that came out in recent years. Bet most of you can't even remember them. [editline]21st January 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=HybridTheroy;43602919]Why is a CoD clone bad? Did everybody just forget about CoD4?[/QUOTE] If CoD4 was good it doesn't mean that making same exact good game every year is good. Imagine if half life 2 and 3 were on goldsource, played exactly like half life 1 and were released in 1999 and 2000.

But Half-Life 2 pretty much plays like Half-Life 1 but with some new features/physics and the gravgun

[QUOTE=Death_God;43594504]i think my favorite people in this thread are the ones critically judging an alpha as if it was final release[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure you can't call a production like this "alpha" when it's only two months from launch.
