Titanfall will do great with teh COD crowd.
Very fast paced.
Incredibly quick spawn times so you aren't out of the battle for more than 3 seconds.
Bot AI is completely brainless. Functions only as a MMOlite chemical reaction in your brain to give you a satisfying feeling on the way to actual players who can actually hurt you. These will be the bread and butter of making Titanfall an ongoing success. Respawn will issue out next variations every month or two I expect.
Titans aren't overpowered. Really easy to take down, even as a pilot if it's 2 against one. Spent most of my time using cover/buildings to shield me so I could unload the anti-titan gun into them with great success, mainly when I was supporting other titans which would draw their fire.
Parkour is good but levels aren't designed well enough for it in most cases. Better than the usual shit I've seen but still a ton of potential missing out.
Lag was noticeable in close quarters. When you end up getting kicked to death by someone who seems to teleport onto your screen you aren't having a good time.
Runs really well, high frame rate even with anti-jaggy on. Textures are decent, lighting is decent. Nothing mind blowing or exciting.
I would love love love to see this gameplay in a Killzone style single player story mode. Like 5/5 would make me buy a X1. A lot of potential in there.
Recon (sic?) class is super duper overpowered if you can move from cover to cover quickly. Auto aim weapon which is super deadly makes for easy kills. On the more spaced out maps they then become useless as the sheen of the cloak is noticeable, maybe its harder to make out on the blurry, sharpened mess of the X1 version.
Here's an example of the ping....
Close loss and was the only one to make it out on the evac, under fire.
Lag isn't unplayable but you will be irritated 3 or 4 times a match. At least tonight everyone's ping is shit, so it's a bit more fair lol
Would hate to meet players with low ping :/
