Titanfall seems like the antithesis of competitive FPS play.


That's one reason I like it. I've never liked COD or Battlefield but played the hell out of Titanfall.

It plays well.

People just have their momentum built up complaining about NMS and don't want to waste it.


I'm downloading it right now but it is some pretty unanimous hate on each subreddit I've been to.

Did you play the first one? Wonder how much of an impact that has.

Not sure how they do it now, but in the first one the Titans were just on a timer, so it wasn't like you had to actually earn it. If that's what they're doing now, I'd be all for it.

Apparently they are on a timer still, but it has been tweaked. Respawn also said they fricked up on implementing it too though to where it is making it way too difficult to earn one or more in one game.

The game is called Titanfall. You should be able to get a damn Titan pretty regularly imo.

I'm not saying it needs to be a 20 kill streak, but maybe 5. There was a playlist for just titans so you could get your mech fix there IMO.

In the first game it was a timer but the timer would decrease with kills to speed up when you can call a titan.

IMO, these FPS giving overpowered weapons or abilities to players already dominating the match needs to stop. Titans should not be rewards for good play.

When it is solely based on kills all you are doing is overpowering the good players like you said and forcing the bad ones to camp to try to get their kill streak. I hate it.

Haven't been home since the release, but yeah if the timer is based solely on kills, I'm not sure I'd waste my time. That just encourages bad play.

Which stinks, because I liked Titanfall a lot.

I'm one of those that still plays Titanfall daily. Such a fun game and a smooth FPS.

I really like the pilot play so far in the alpha. Better than the original IMO.

Not a fan of the overall Titan play compared to the first one. If they could keep the new pilot play and somehow go back and incorporate most of the Titan play from the first game, it would be perfect.

I did not. It felt clunkier to me. The two maps given also were not very good designs for this game. Way too spread out and not a ton of opportunity for wall runs and stuff.

Yea, the shielding and new health system made them almost worthless. I didn't like the new system of stealing cores, then just lobbing grenades in it. Why can't I stay on and shoot the crap out of it?

Also, if they got rid of my auto-pistol for good, I'm going to be so pissed.

Overall, I was very underwhelmed by the beta, and really didn't find myself having that much fun with it. So much that they changed for the sake of changing that didn't need to be. Getting rid of the timer was moronic.

I guess they are releasing a new map for next weekend. Hopefully it's smaller. The first one had some bigger maps but people stayed in the middle for the most part because the sniper rifle was hard to use.

This one had people camping with the sniper rifle and getting one shot kills from across the map.

The Titans sucked. Give me the chainsaw back.
