I don't want more players cause 6v6 titans is plenty for these maps but I sure hope there is a mode without the AI. O intentionally avoid them because more often than not a pilot is going to spot me while I'm killing the excessively stupid grunts.

I don't mind them really, they make the maps seem more active (and as someone said, I think they're used to lower the titan timer) - I do however feel the game really needs a MOBA style mode/map that uses them like minions and the pilots being the heroes.

You have to have your account settings set up to allow them to e-mail you special offers. They sent out a coupon a few weeks ago, and I got another one this morning, actually.
Also, about the level design, if the other maps in the full game are as good as Fracture/Angel City, Respawn easily has the best MP map makers in the biz. Angel City alone is better than all the maps that CoD: Ghosts shipped with put together.

I agree. That would be perfect
This is exactly what I thought it was, it would be pretty awesome.

When you hit a sweet spot in play, it just feels right. And I'm not too mad even after being the worst player on the team every now and again.
Something else I thought was cool; the bots seem to have a few dynamic events I come across every so often (dragging wounded comrades, executing a captured enemy) and although they pass quickly, it's nice to see some variety and not just the usual rush.

If people don't want to kill AI bots, why are they killing AI bots? In all my games I've basically just ignored them until they are in my way. If you're always moving to confront a Titan or cap a flag, the bots shouldn't be much of an issue.
If you're running around hunting bots, well...

I'm getting 58-60 on my 6950. Everything med - high ND Vsync on. I think I'm still on the 12 drivers.
Maybe it's your processor or a combination of certain settings.

Away from the game at the moment, but can you melee the soft spot when you're riding enemy titans?
But the parkour and mechs make it feel very un-cod, it feels very un FPS. I loved it and enjoyed it almost instantly. I generally get frustrated quickly with competitive FPS - Halo, COD, BF - because I don't play 6 hours a day. Not so here. Granted I've only played it for 20 mins with people equally new to it. But fun. Lots of fun. Pretty enough. Smooth. Clearly next gen. But not gorgeous. Am tempted to get digital copy - it's one of those games that'll be worthless in a couple of months as everyone who wants it will buy. Might as well enjoy disk free.

I feel like the main weapon for the tank Titan class should be more accurate. A lot more.
exactly
OH MAN! I have an hour to kill before I go out for Valentines dinner and such... PC servers all down.
On the plus side I will not be buying a Xbone just yet very satisfied with 360 controller versus KB&M. I just hope PC community has lasting power with this one it's fun but PC people are weird.
Bring on a $400 Kinectless Titanfall bundle M$!

It's not that I'm hunting for bots, it's that they seem to be all I can find. Maybe I'm just not used to the fact that you should never been on the ground level as a pilot. I need to utilize wall running and double jumping more often.
Way too soon to say this. People were calling Shadowrun CS lite when it is different from CS and it took almost 2 months for the majority of players I ran into to adjust and understand the tools the game provided to you. I played Shadowrun like Halo for the first week and did well until I ran into a guy that dominated the whole match with teleport, smoke wired reflexes and a sword while his teammates used nothing but teleport, gust, trees, and pistols.
When a few guys start popping up that get the free running mechanics the game will change.

I like it so far, but I'm a bit disappointed.
Fighting with Titans isn't as fun/engaging as I'd thought it be. I'm only level 7 so far, so I;m hoping the customizing options will make it more to my liking. Really liking the ground combat though.

Killing bots in Attrition can mean the difference between winning or not due to the points you get from them.
I generally avoid them, but that's frankly a bad habit if it seems like I'm in the clear. If there are no pilots around or you have a silenced weapon, you should definitely be killing bots.

The big red dots on the mini-map are the best indicator of pilots. That and dudes running on roofs.
Its why you use a suppressor. I dont know why people dont use a suppressor.
Only got a couple of matches in, but it's fun. Also like that I don't feel at huge disadvantage with the 360 controller on PC. The graphics are decidedly last gen. I'm on a 580, had to turn down the textures to high...gonna mess around with different v-sync options later. Might need to drop one more setting to get a better frame rate while in the titans.

Just got my PC Beta code. Pumped!
Hilariously enough, Titanfall feels more cinematic than the SP campaign of a CoD game.
I'm 100% serious.

Really?! YES! Which code? Or have they not let that loose yet?

Only played 3 matches so far now waiting for the servers to come back up but damn this game is amazing. It all feels so natural and smooth and everything just seems to play so perfectly. There really isn't a single aspect that I dislike so far. Respawn has done an incredible job. I'm sure once I get a chance to play more that I'll have a chance to nitpick some stuff but so far it has all the makings to be a long term multiplayer game for my friends and I.
Out of three matches I played two of them were Last Titan Standing which is way more fun than I thought it would be. If you can get some decent teammates that know how to protect their Titan and know when to strike then it becomes such an insanely fun and chaotic (in a good way) mode.
The other match I played was Hardpoint Domination which pretty much about what you would expect. The methods of traversal just make it unlike anything I've ever played really. Wall running and jetpacking to areas is fun in and of itself. Add on the ability to put your Titan in guard or follow mode and there's so much depth to a seemingly simple game mode.

I added you, I don't have anyone on my friends list on Origin. I have literally doubled my total Origin playtime with 5 hours of Titanfall -> 5 hrs BF3 vanilla.
I will be on all afternoon and evening tomorrow untill prolly 9ish when UK plays.

Yup, the bots completely ruin the game. They need to make it so that the AI is competent enough to be able to kill you.

The bots see very useless to me, I wish they weren't even in the game, the game's hectic enough without them. Their AI is absolutely horrendous, they feel like they're not supposed to be there.

Only when the bots spot you first are you put on the radar.
That may be it. I guess the reason I never run into them is I hit the roofs as soon as a game starts and spend all my time moving from high point to high point, unless I need to cap a flag. Then I dip down, kill anything that moves, and get back up on the roof.
High ground is king.
