I also don't understand the hype for Titanfall. It looks like CoD with mechs. Can someone explain why it looks so awesome and everyone's losing their shit over it?
Oh, I saw it when everyone else did. The idea of it looks cool, I guess, but it just looks like a bunch of robots fighting each other with guns and shit. Nothing drastically innovative. Which is appealing to people?
I guess the idea's cool, but from the trailer I just watched, including the gameplay trailer, it doesn't look like anything that makes my pants tight. The gun play resembles others we've seen before, and the mech suit looks... unique, but nothing that gets me hyped for it. It's like a mix of Halo 4's Mantis and the last Transformers game (which was super fun, by the way). The color pallet from everything I've seen even looks bland.
I dunno. Maybe I'm just naïve or missing something, but I'm just having trouble understanding why people, including the dozens in this thread alone, are so hyped for this game. It looks fun, but nothing revolutionary.

Titan Fall looks fun as hell in my opinion. Honestly, just the idea of fighting hundreds of people at once, taking down enemy mechs when all I have is my awesome parkour skills and weak gun, nailing and taking down those mechs with team work and strategy, I don't know, it just sounds fun.
Like seriously I can't wait to double jump and wall run haha

TitanFall 2: MECH PARKOUR
Well, it'd technically make sense considering Max Hoberman's role with Halo 2..
That's the thing. It looks fun. That's it.
I mean, you're right. It looks fun to me too. But a lot of games are fun. Dark Souls is fun. Cut the Rope is fun. Minesweeper is fun. I just don't understand the amount of hype I've seen for the game.
Now RYSE on the other hand. That looks more than just fun.

So, Activision released some Call of Duty stats today.
Just for fun, I wanted to compare it to Halo's stats (as of April 1, 2012, so these stats are missing a TON of Reach playtime, and all of Halo 4's playtime)
Heh, wow. So much time spent playing Video Games, just between these 2 games.

The amount of happiness and nostalgia I got reading those Halo stats, it's huge. <3 Hope this doesn't sound weird to say, but Bungie's the only gaming company I ever felt really cared and appreciated it's fanbase. Heh, the "Thank you for being the brightest stars in our galaxy. Thank you for making Bungie.net your community home for many years. See you starside. <3" is such a nice touch. Seriously just comparing those 2 stats, one is "heart felt" (or as heart felt as a company that wants your money can be), and the other is just... stat sharing. Bungie is amazing and making it's fanbase feel loved and appreciated, and that's probably why Bungie is my favorite developer. Hope I'm not the only one who feels this way, cause then this just sounds silly and ridiculous, but I think that's something that makes Bungie special.
Those titles focused on shooting and demanded shooting skill to succeed. Modern titles do not, and with less focus on the actual shooting part, it's hard to call them "true" shooters.
In fact, most of their focus now is on every element EXCEPT the shooting.
I agree, it looks like one of those games that everyone creams themselves over because it sounds like something that should be "cool" so they think it's amazing (hello Halo jetpack). To me, it looks like CoD with worse shooting and overpowered mechs. No thanks.
I guess it all depends on implementation and how you go about playing the game. Take CoD for instance. I can have a ton of fun in Blops 2 with Lightweight, Extreme Conditioning, and Dead Silence (on almost every class). With fast kill times and fast movement, I can play blazing fast rushing constantly, always being dynamic and being where I'm not expected. This is how that game is fun to me. I'd go bat shit crazy sitting in a window just ADS'ing waiting for some schlub to happen along. Playing in the style in which I play, and seeing a game that appears pretty polished, and allows even more dynamic movement with the thruster pack... makes me excited to see what it is about.
If there was something akin to the thruster pack in Blops 2 - allowing faster hops, sudden directional movement that I control, and things like wall running opening up fast, unexpected movement - I'd enjoy that I think.
In the GP of TitanFall - it looks like I'll have the ability to play fast, be in unexpected places quickly, and make people miss - I like that idea. It's not the arena shooter I crave, but that doesn't mean it can't be a certain kind of fun.
Regarding the mechs, I can envision game play where they can be balanced and not overpowered, and can certainly envision an implementation where they are broken... But I'm excited to see how it turns out either way if for no other reason than it is a new FPS IP that appears to be a rather polished future release from what has been shown so far.

Are there any TitanFall infantry weapons we've seen designed explicitly to be anti-Titan?
Legendary Rumble is awesome. Feels like Halo. Can't wait till they put BR's into Legendary Slayer.
Played the most intense FFA match ever. Me and another guy ended up trading kills and tied the game. And like 3 others were close to winning too.
I would link the game but waypoint is a shitshow as usual.

I hope not, as that would imply that standard weaponry is unsuitable to combating a Titan.

Touche. While that's a really good point, I'm expecting a Halo-esque system. That is, 1v1, infantry-to-mech gunplay favors the mech. To compensate, infantry with higher map awareness can utilize parkour to their advantage to hop onto the Titans and shoot their space brains. That's not to say infantry weaponry is completely ineffective; teamshooting mechs could probably bring one down pretty quickly. That being said, I'm expecting one or two deliberately anti-Titan weapons like an anti-armor marksman rifle and a BFG to serve as power weapons on at least a few of the maps.

Well A LOT of people did leave for a reason......
Now someone should break out of the Installation 04 map in Reach and take the same picture.
Why not break the CEA version and take a picture

Can't you use the pancam mode?
Reach's Firefight version is pretty and shows what could have been if CEA had been made entirely anew. But either all
I actually dunno. Never really tried, tbh

Sector 8 developers could be crying about this Titanfall hype.
Timegate is dead, killed by Gearbox.
7 days until the Pit!
also kinda weird, this competitive gaming thing is taking off it looks like. Dota 2 The International drew 1 million concurrent viewers, crazy.

I miss maps having a Halo rise up out into the sky. Just have every map be on a Halo and play some strange ambient sounds like on Sidewinder going forward
Crazy. Can someone explain the Dendi hook compilation video? What exactly is going on there?

CEA's Classic Mode isn't ideal, either. See how the water waves blur away into nothingness at a fairly close distance in the skybox? The original game doesn't do that.
You'd really want to take the picture from an oXbox or Halo PC. The former is the only way to get an entirely accurate shot (although the 360 emulator looks very close in that particular area), and the latter is less graphically broken than Classic Mode while offering vastly superior IQ.
