If you're out your Titan than the game becomes much larger. I would also believe ppl focus on Titans and lose track of individual soldiers.



Not really because things are balanced so well each individual soldier can handle a Titan pretty well if they go about it the right way.

Running around then wall jumping off of something onto and enemies Titan's back is so god damn fun.

All of the parkour stuff is extremely easy to pick up and so much fun wants you start getting good at it.

This is something which is usually nearly complete when Alpha hits.

Alpha/Beta is about working out gameplay mechanics and bugs.

The Titans are too passive?



AI Titans are fine, there are AI soldiers in the game that sort of serve as cannon fodder. I just wish they were a bit more difficult to deal with.

Plus I don't think they wanted to make it a massive download. It took me like 20 minutes to download it.

Edit: Just checked it out, only 3.6 gb

Frame rate is exceptional for how chaotic things are and that it is a alpha

Ah, NPCs are the issue ATM.

So does it look next gen, 1080p or 720p?
I was just thinking it would look pretty damn good considering they kept it 6v6.

So the game is basically a rush to get a titan, and judging by the videos the bots just get you it faster?


Doing something good in the game gets you a Titan faster. Killing the NPC's is worth the smallest amount of time and killing actual people is worth the most. You can also earn it faster by taking an objective in domination, injuring an enemy titans, or other stuff like that.

Game looks great for an Alpha. I haven't had really any framerate issues at all.

Game looks fun.



Probably the best way to describe it

Looks and feels like it

Most likely 720 right now. There is a tutorial you do that looks 1080 though, so there is really no telling what the final game will be.

I think Titans are pretty useess in TDM ( Attrition) You can spend up to 3 minutes in a titan battle with a decent player all to get a few points. You can kill at least 15 AI and maybe a couple pilots within that time and get double the points. On Hardpoint/Dom Theyre pretty useful, its basicly just FUN trying to kill another titan without losing much health and fighting of the guys who sneak on you. I find myself Defending the home objective and killing wave after wave of AI who get flown in to try & capture. In a way I kind of feel like I could get tired of this game after a month, but for now its fricking epic just because its new and unique.

I read that they were using lower res textures for the alpha, but others in this thread say it looks great

I can't play for more than an hour at a time. IDK if its the 6vs6, or that its only 2 maps and 2 game modes. It's a blast but I get bored pretty quickly. Probably because its level capped at 10.

Awesome. please keep updated. I haven't even played my XB1 since alpha ended. so bored with BF4

ETA: "The existence of the Titanfall open beta was confirmed by Respawn’s Vince Zampella yesterday, who promised more details in the coming days. NeoGAF is pointing to French site Xboyxygen, who has a retail source saying that the open beta will run from Valentine’s Day, February 14th, to the 19th. Seems like a reasonable guess, given that the game is due to be released March 11th across the Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC." LINK

well im in the field 17-21 but maybe ill get that whole weekend of play.
