Party system is shit. Not sure who is in charge of it, but they should look into another line of work.

Plz dont take my word for it. I dont know for sure, but "evolution" suggests attrition is out.
Also, I think the reddit post also said bounty is only mode with a.i

I'm done. I hate Bounty Hunt and Amped Hard point. Pilots vs Pilots is mediocre but that's mostly because the base gunplay is nothing like Titanfall.
I can't play this game if the rest of the modes are this uninteresting.
Had a few rounds on this earlier on the Xbox One, didn't know much about the multiplayer other than they added a grappling hook... So when I saw "Laser Core Online" when I was on my own battling three Titans, I lost my shit at what followed. That was some proper Guyver batshit insanity. Couldn't hide the massive smile on my face!
I like some of the changes, but rodeo riding a Titan is a bit too much now. Having to constantly jump on and off Titans is a bit of a pain. I used to like just riding on enemy titans and taunting the pilot to jump out.
I really like the whole 'Network' idea, especially since I tend to play Titanfall when I'm not with friends anyway.

I can't comprehend why they would remove the main mode
Fiddle with it yes, and make that a secondary mode
But to remove it completely?
Nutters.
full quote btw
please keep attrition in.

I dragged a friend with me today and seemed Ok. Last night my friends and I got separated between games sometimes. Other times, one of us wind up on the opposing team.
What's the player count like on PS4? Was playing on X1 just now and it's:
Bounty Hunt: 23,917, 27,259 worldwide
Amped Hardpoint: 9,730, 10,864 worldwide
Pilots vs. Pilots: 8,365, 9,323 worldwide
Second evening with the game and I'm having more fun tonight. The grappling hook is a game-changer and doubles down on the trademark Titanfall traversal. I am also not bothered too much by the titans not being on timers, as I seemed to get them fairly regularly.
Respawn has done a good job supporting TF1; I am sure the final product will be great and I look forward to having this and Gears 4 be my go-to shooters this fall.

Never played TF1 but the movement in this game feels way more sluggish than I was expecting.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Yeah you are right, Attrition is toast from the looks of it. What a stupid decision.

Whats the point of leveling titan abilities? just to see bars fill up?

I played it a little bit. I think it feels like the same game as Titanfall 1, which is great for those who loved the first one. Not the game for me though.
yea same here, where's battlefield 1. I need dat.

Progression is limited in the test build. It is going to be tied into more perks, attachment, skins in the final game. Not that I care any more though.
You should read the thread first.

Players overall move slower, if your not wall running you move sluggish.
In tf1 you always were quicker, heck climbing up things was faster even. Basic move speed is now typical fps speeds unless you are wall running.

I guess people did not read the big disclaimer in the beginning of the demo that specifically states some features like party chat may not work.
Complain about the gameplay all you want. That it is not like TF1. It is slower. Maps suck. All that stuff.
But complaining about party chat not working when they specifically say it may not?
Cmon now.
This is why it is labeled a Tech Test.

Is it just me or are these numbers pathetically low for an open beta for a high profile game? I wonder what the sales expectations are for this.

I want to say they were higher last night. Could be a case of off peak, or word of mouth hurting player numbers.

So I never played Titanfall. I also haven't really played games like CoD before either. I'm really enjoying my time with this. Really fast and fun. I also appreciate how easy it is to get a Titan. I was worried it'd be a super rare power-up that only the top 10% of players in a match would get.

Battlefield is definitely my cup of tea. I didn't enjoy TF2 at all so far. Something about BF just feels so good and more involving.

Damn that shotgun is OP I thought to myself. My ping was 21ms with no lag. This was the straw that broke the camels back.

It's pretty clear the guy was lagging.

did they lower the titan spawn time yet? heard it was happening today
I like the concept of Bounty Hunt but it doesn't really have a flow to it. Go to one zone, kill bots, watch out for players camping the bank.
Also, the grappling hook is great. It should be Titanfall 2's addition to the movement, and that should be for all players. But otherwise the game is rife with bad design decisions.

Looking back at it actually yeah he's really jumpy when he hit the ground. It just seemed so off since the rest of the game everyone else seemed to have a fine connection. Really caught me since the last thing I was expecting in the kill cam was a punch across a separate floor.
It's one of many issues I'm having though unfortunately so I'll be passing on it, that was just the last moment for me, but when you add in the overcompensating auto aim and the lackluster game modes it just doesn't earn its place in the crowded holiday season IMO. I hope they try one last time though because I like some aspects of it, but since the problems run as deep as map design I won't expect it to be solved in this game at all.

We need that attrition. I tried amped hardpoint and man the map felt so empty without the grunts
With lowered TTK, no grunts and that ridiculous outline around pilots, it just became camping: the game. You are such an easy target there's no point to play this like Titanfall. I had the greatest of times spending this afternoon playing Attrition and it's so much more fun than this tech test it's not even funny

Played for a couple hours today only Bounty Hunt and had an absolute blast.
I think it has to do with if your team is winning in BH and it's impossible for the other team to come back and win they quit. I played Titanfall 1 and my team was down 50 to 190 and we almost came back for the win but lost by 10 points in Attrition.
wat? you could try for yourself you know?
they definitley didn't think it through
ended up in a 2v5 scernio where they were camping the bank areas...like come on yall, nobody really thought people would do this?
or did they and just didn't care lol
thread is getting hilarious now dudes aren't even playing it for themselves but going off of what gaf says at this point
getting soap opera levels of over the top feelings

w0t?
bro, at least try for yourself.
yeah, attrition is easily my least favorite mode in R1, but it still slaps the sillies out of anything i've played in the R2 tech test thus far :S

If Attrition is gone, they can get fucked.
