Titanfall 2 Multiplayer Technical Test Impressions (XB1/PS4)

Man games like this just make me salty as fuck. Literally the only kind of game that can get this level of salt out of me. Just rage quit a match by deleting the game.
 
Level 7 and not quite feeling it.
Doesn't seem near as fast and fluid as the first. Traversal was so effortless before. Everything's slower now. Doesn't help that it's a pain to use grapple with bumper jumper.
Titans shouldn't struggle against pilots. I have no problem taking on a Titan while on foot, and really struggle when the roles are reversed. T1 really made you feel like it was fish in a barrel until they could get their Titans.
I don't care for all the added gameplay stuff... T1 was just elegant in its simplicity.

Still definitely buying it... Been dying for a campaign.

Rayme, can you comment on:
* Lower TTK.
* Extremely bright glowing player outlines (combined with above...). Again this seems to punish people trying to traverse the map since you stick out like a sore thumb.
* Slower (floatier) jumps making you an easier target when parkouring.
* Reduced forward velocity when you change look direction past a certain angle while wallrunning.
* Eliminating sequential godhops..
* Slower / lower ejections (making gooses much easier than ever).
* Stunlock from arc grenades affecting your turn speed (literally the most annoying thing ever).
* Flinch on getting hit.
* Parkour chaining seemingly capping out velocity very quickly (esp. w/o stim).
* Map designs featuring wide open areas w/o parkour opportunities (and where objectives are placed in Bounty) and fewer even surfaces in general.
* No boosting from the impact of a titan fall?
* Removal of bots from most game modes? I loved the feeling of chaos and noise they brought and it's a damn shame if it's true they are gone.
* Stim becoming much more a situational boost rather than a general purpose utility ala grappling hook and pulse blade.

The first game was best played hard and fast and this game seems to completely shun the philosophy instead rewarding playing the game as a stop and pop shooter (AKA more CoD with Mechs than Quake). The changes to movement seem to be introducing a set of shackles on what was a very free system in the first game.

For me it felt exactly as this. It seems that the game lost the personality it had and now is just more CoD. Really sad :(
 
Download's up for plebs now, though XBL isn't being terribly fast at the moment.

Super skeptical, and I'd much rather be trying the PC version, but I guess I can't not check it out.

Man, this thread's depressing. I'll give it a go, but I'm pretty uninterested now.

it's still better than COD though lol. seriously, as far as pilot play goes i think they just need a few tweaks here and there. Since this is an alpha build with time left before release they can easily adjust some things and BAM pilot play would be fucking great.
 
I played it earlier today and it was bad. The aiming is weird, the map isn't good for staying in the air, the game mode is stupid, there's no teamwork and the AI has to go. The graphics are also straight out of last gen and the game isn't even 1080p. The UI is incredibly generic (like it's unreal how bad it looks) and one of the main hooks of the game (traversal) isn't utilised properly. The entire time that I was playing I just kept thinking about better multiplayer games like Overwatch and Uncharted 4.

With Battlefield 1 coming out so close to this, I don't think that this game has a chance. What a disappointment.
 
I think I went 4-20 my first match. I forgot that feeling of being spawn camped and my shots missing everything.

I was competent in the first game. Hopefully I can get my bearings.
 
All this negativity is cracking me up. Keep playing and get better at the new mechanics. About 10 hours played and I'm swinging around the map like Tarzan. Grapple is a must though unfortanetly. I feel like every every one should have a grapple by default since they slowed things down.

Do we have anyway to check our stats? I didn't see anything in the options.

are you on xbox or ps4? i'd like to see how your grapple skills actually are. i haven't seen many people use it without seeming clunky and hitting things


And is pilot v pilot broken or are people really not playing it at all? lol (again)
 
The amount of control customization on this game is fucking insane. You can fine-tune your aiming at whatever suits you best. I can't go back to games not having this precise level of tuning, I just can. It's almost criminal that you can't have this level of control over your aiming options on every other game.

You won yourself a sale, Respawn.

Yeah, even on the receiving end. Caught me by surprise haha.

Also I really like the slide mechanic.

I can post some tomorrow I haven't recorded much gameplay. But you want to boost during the grapple and it can shoot you and your pilot goes flying. You can even kind of swing around stuff if you hit your grapple right and boost. I can get halfway across the map in seconds after I spawn in.

I haven't played pilot v pilot yet not enough action. I also have a scuff so that helps and I have slide on the right analog stick so I can easily chain my movement. You can basicly slingshot yourself with the grapple.

Overwatch maybe, but Uncharted 4...really?
 
Deleted Titanfall 1 and cancelled my Titanfall 2 pre-order. I have been there since day one (bought the Xbox One Titanfall bundle); pre-ordered Titanfall 2 on XBL as soon as it was available, etc. And yet they wouldn't give fans like us a code (while many streamers/youtubers had multiple). Treating people like dogs as they release a few dozen codes on social networks for thousands of fans to fight for.

I'm sure the folks at Respawn Entertainment don't care if one guy on the internet says he won't be buying Titanfall 2 but that's ok; I'm not going to support a company that treats its most loyal customers with total disrespect. Farewell Respawn.

Talk about overreaction lol.. the demo is up for download on both psn and xbox live now and you cam start playing it at 8 am....
 
Yeah, so I am really really not feeling this. Hundreds and hundreds of hours of Titanfall, this beta plays like a letdown in comparison in virtually every department I can think of. They dumbed down everything too much. The shit that made the game great is not in the beta imho. I am still going to hold out hope for the final release.
 
I'm honest. I like call of duty but the jump mechanics in recent call of duty titles feel somewhat "tacked on" and don't really flow with the core cod mechanics.

If titenfall 2 plays like call of duty with GOOD advanced movement options ... that would make me happy man. Excited to try it out this afternoon.
 
As a person who is new to Titanfall and enjoyed seeing Titanfall 1 videos, I'm a little disappointed so far. I like the shooting, grapple hook is decent(needs to be faster), I really enjoyed playing as a Titan and the movement system(running on walls) is much more smooth compared to robotic Black Ops 3. However, the two maps are really not good, TTK is a little too short for my liking(still better than BO3), not as fast as I thought and speed is similar to COD games, movement system feels more like an addon like Black Ops 3 instead of being essential to the game.

I need to play some more to get more used to it. I like it overall, but I was hoping for something more similar to the fast action from the TF1 videos.

They were only early access codes, you can literally play the open Tech Test tomorrow...
 
Bounty Mode is so unbalanced that it might as well not exist. If you are losing after the first "cash out", there's no point. Doubly so if the other team is just better and has titans on the field 5 minutes earlier than your team.

I really thought Gen 10s or EA access people would have gotten some codes early. I did get a code from MtnDew and SO FAR I dislike the game. The game feels slowed down to me, I felt the grappling hook was lame and I didn't like removing the titan battery instead of shooting the core. I did like the new mini map compared to the old one, it's good that the new maps will be free and the graphics look better. I can see the game getting lost in the shuffle between BF1 and COD.
 
I kept reading complaints about TF2 compared to the first one. Can someone who DID NOT play TF1 give an opinion about the new chapter? Did you enjoy it? Thank you
