Every FPS has a different gear of speed.
(1)Operator = ARMA
(2)7th Gen Standard = CoD, Battlefield, Killzone, Halo
(3)Oldschool = Duke 3D, Doom
(4)Arcade = Titanfall, Team Fortress 2 as Scout, Quake 2
(5)Sanic = Quake 3, Tribes, Half-Life + Tau Cannon
(6) ?

This is the most excited I've been for an FPS since Halo 3. And that's some high praise.

Just making a statement but I doubt the number is that far off.
I think it works against other players as well. The "Tactical" class has the "Smart Pistol" as the primary weapon, the "B3 Wingman" revolver as a Sidearm and the "MGL" as an anti-titan weapon.
In my opinion this class would be to weak against other players if you only could use the sidearm against them.
Someone who was/is at PAX could probably shed a little bit more light on it...

Not sure if serious
Couldn't say unless I actually played it. I just have a mental image of a city style sandbox map with people all bouncing wall to wall like bunnies lol.
Lets slow down there tiger it hasn't launched yet.

So you are talking absolute shit and have nothing to back it up then?
You might not be that far off.

so was BF3. that was a great MP experience. One of the best of the gen.
and this game looked the most fun to play at E3. I'm quite excited.
Word of advice, bullshitting like that will get you removed from Neogaf fairly quickly.
Make a statement, but you better be prepared to source it.

They killed it with COD4 and it looks like lightning might strike twice.
I'm really hoping TitanFall manages to keep its identity and doesn't go the way of COD. As long as they keep the same dev team on it and with EA's 3 year development cycle I think it has a shot of not devolving into what the COD franchise has become.
I was really excited for this when they first unveiled it, but each time I've seen it since then my hype has dropped exponentially. I'm just becoming more skeptical each time, and not really feeling the art/visuals. 3 classes only? Plus wall running will be neat at first, but you're going to get a bunch of idiots finding new ways to grief teammates by doing nothing but "doing laps" around the map via this mechanic and not helping at all.
3 loads-outs for humans and Titans in the demo. Like any new mechanic in a game, some people will just mess around with it. Like bunny-hopping or dolphin diving, some people like to mess around and have fun/jerk around. Not sure how they get around this, other than the NPC's doing more work.
I feel like I'm on everybody's ignore list or something. I explained the smart pistol on the first page of the thread. One thing I'll add from the recent Gamersyde preview, is that the lock-on shuts down when you're hit by returned fire. It may well still be OP, but it's not as crazy as it first appears, you have to keep players within the large reticle, and remember they all have jetpacks.
Ahh interesting. I did not know that. I am sure it will lead to some crazy kills, but knowing you can knock someone out of the lock-on is handy.
People are seriously still shitting up every Titanfall thread just because they think people care about just how unexcited they are? Why?
These kind of "ugh, such low expectations" posts are becoming a favorite of mine.
Destruction is a cool mechanic, and I can see it working in a game like this, but come on... It's not something all games should seek to implement, nor would it be a clear improvement to the experience. You could have picked a better example of something that may have been added to the game, if only people weren't so easily pleased.

Game is 6+ months away. 3 for pax.
Also there are ways to be an idiot in every mp game.
They also killed it with COD2, COD, and MOH:AA.

Sure, fair enough. I haven't played the others extensively or online at all.
Well yeah, that's possible I suppose having AI address this.
Yeah, there's always pre-determined ways to grief your team in shooters as is, let alone having this new mechanic in with people doing this as well. My hype for this is just dying down I guess, becoming more skeptical. The original unveiling knocked my socks off though, which is weird.
It was this and Destiny I was excited for when first shown each. Now I'm just still hyped for Destiny.

Sweet no killstreaks.
Okay, so Smart Pistol is really a novelty when used against other players. Maybe akin to an execution in Gears or knife in BF3, where you have to expose yourself for several seconds in order to get a kill.
The TTK in this game is probably less than a second, 3 seconds is a long time.
The Killstreak is just getting your Titan slightly faster.

I like jelly rather than a red flashing screen like Treyarch does. The whole screen when shot flashes red and it is so annoying.
Exactly. AI is pretty much just standing still here, human players would have shot the guy and cancelled the lock-on. It must also be limited by range, so you will have to close the distance to use it. It's not like people will be aimbot sniping from the other side of the map.

I can't wait for this game to come out. It looks like the shooter I have been waiting for with its absolute mayhem, fast paced combat and Titans
.
Just to continue with what I was saying about the Smart Pistol. It seems like an embarrassment weapon.
You expose yourself for a period of time to kill someone that is essentially standing still for 3 seconds. If you are standing still for that long, then you aren't playing the game correctly and need to be punished.

Wow. Looks amazing.
Yeah, I was just going to hold out for the PS4 version to play with friends, but I may have to get the PC or Xbox One version at launch and play by myself for a while until I double dip.
Looks fun as hell.

Not the case at all, no need to worry.
Good to hear.

Does anyone know if there are bots?
A.I. is mixed in with real players to mix that SP and MP feel. That seems to be the whole idea of Titanfall at this point.
Some screencaps and observations.
Pilots:
Observations:
- Good selection of primary and anti-Titan weapons.
- Cloak is the only Special Ability seen so far.
- Attachments and mods are barely used.
- Is the Militia a possible third faction?
Atlas Class Titans:
Pilots:
Assault
R-101C: Meduim Range Assualt Rifle
Tactical
Smart Pistol: Can lock on to enemies to string together multiple kills and take down enemies from impossible angles.
MGL: Magnetic Grenade Launcher
CQB
EVA-8: Semi Auto Shotgun
Archer: Rocket Launcher
Observations:
- Good selection of primary and anti-Titan weapons.
- Cloak is the only Special Ability seen so far.
- Attachments and mods are barely used.
- Is the Militia a possible third faction?
Atlas Class Titans:
Main: Battle Rifle Titan
X0-16: Battle Rifle
Vortex Blocker: Create a small magnetic field that can catch bullets, missiles or grenades and send them back to the enemy. Hold it too long and it will cause damage to your Titan.
Heavy
40MM Canon: Semi explosive rounds.
Electric Smoke: Hides your movements from the enemy. Any Titans or Pilots who go through the smoke will be disoriented because of the ellectric shock.

Are there any good raw gameplay videos of this in action?
There are bots running around the field at all times.
If you are referring to playing a multiplayer mode solely with bots instead of other players, it hasn't been confirmed.
I do doubt that inclusion though. From what we have heard, Respawn is using the dedicated servers to control the AI routines.

Shooting mechanics aren't the problem with CoD, it's the perks/killstreaks which this doesn't have.
I meant the Call of Duty influence on other shooters didn't really hit until 2010 when you could see it in games like Bad Company 2 and Halo Reach.

I believe he's referring to bots that simulate other players. What they have are like creeps in a moba. Definitely not the same thing.
