The crap I've seen in this thread is something I expect from GameFAQs, not here.
Because it is only Playstation fans discussing their surprise at the player count. Come on.
And here I thought the best time I ever had playing games was 5vs5 Instagib CTF with Unreal Tournament in a clan. But damn, how wrong was I, together with thousands of other players...
Seriously, barely any game has ever given me more enjoyment than UT(99) and was it 1080p/60fps & did it have 16vs16 players? People should stop craving for high """"important"""" numbers and just see whether a game is enjoyable or not. And guess what the opinion of most people who played Titanfall was?
It was a non-stop action-fest that kept you on your toes all the way through the match and was enjoyable as f*ck. But I guess that doesn't matter anymore, since now we know that it doesn't have a high player count. The game is instantly poo, just like any other game when we know it doesn't feature the all great and mighty 1080p or 60fps.
Seriously, I am ashamed by people that dare call themselves gamers. People have lost all sight of what games are about.

You're not familiar with the Mukazhideen bro?
All of those games have shit movement. All great team arena movement-based shooters have been 5v5 to 7v7. Making it bigger turns it into something that I AM GLAD it is not. Fuck epic battles that minimize player skill.
Considering it is releasing on PC with the same player count, and the devs have already explained why they chose this player count, I'd place money on your being wrong about that.
Adding to that the fact that we already have 64 players in BF4 on the Xbox One and have had 32 players+ in games for the past decade or more in previous consoles.
Your theory just doesn't pan out.

Thread redeemed.
What I don't get is why does it have to be locked at 6v6? You can have the main gamemode be 6v6, then also enable 12v12 and make it clear that it's not the intended way to play. I mean, they say they tried that in their tests, right? So they can actually do it.
Unless it doesn't work on the console hardware at 60fps? But that doesn't make sense to me, shouldn't be that taxing.
A lot of MP games do this. Have the supported number of players in most gamemodes, then a "clusterfuck" gamemode with a lot of players.

Why would having more human players put strain on the console CPU when the game logic is running on a dedicated server?
Lol, no can't say I am.

Sure you have. Funny how you were going to pick this up on your.. pc ahm.. But now because of player count you call it half a game and won't pay full price for it. Why is that? The game is a full game. I know why you've post multiple times in this thread. I'm going to have to go back to the other Titanfall thread here and see how much interest you showed in the game then before player count was released.
Edit.. not one single post about Titanfall on this site I see. But lot's of post in threads about Xbox One, the sales of Xbox One and Xbox One related games. Wonder when you're buying that Xbox One. I might be an Xbot, but I'm not in PS threads here making hits and acting innocent here. I save that for crap places like n4g.
Forgive me padre for I have sinned
For the same reason there isn't a 10v10 Dota 2 game mode. C'mon.
I'm just trying to give him the benefit of doubt. I'm remember hearing a NPR report that it's actually not that unusual in muslim cultures to use the word for other struggles that aren't tied to religious battles.

The game has a lot of hopes riding on it, like someone else said, expect the reviews thread to be a bloodbath.

I'm thinking that the whole EA partner thing is the one saving grace for this game. These partners have been on Steam before. But we know ea is trying to force feed us its origin program so they don't want these guys announcing it will be on both platforms. It would have been spammed on battlelog as an upcoming game by now if it was. Since Destiny isn't going to be on pc, titanfall is one of the only fps multiplayer game I have to look forward to as a pc/last gen console guy.

Earliest ruining of Christmas ever.
The first 8/10 will result in a forum carpet bombing
Source engine is great. They rebuild the whole engine but what i like about Source take a look at Dota 2 or even CS:GO this looks phenomenal. With CS:GO the hitmarkers are spot on and a hit is a hit really good netcode can't wait to shoot in titanfall.
Well that's unfortunate that some would write off your question as simply hate.

All this really tells me is you will be fighting more AI enemies than I expected.
It would really suck to just occasionally meet a real person during a game.

We designed the maps around 6v6, but have legions of AI and 12 AI mechs running around.

The AI stuff sounds super fun IMO. Player controlled pilots and mechs going at each other while there's an army or at least a large amount of AI running around. I think I'm starting to understand what they mean by SP experiences in a MP game thing.

Hate to be a pessimist but the fact that the PC port is the same isn't really strong evidence. Plenty of devs release the same game on PC regardless of the extra resources afforded (some devs barely put effort at all in optimizing for PC)
Whatever factors are actually at play here... clearly the "intentional design" is the only route they could take from a PR perspective. Whether that claim is true or not isn't overly important though...
Its a 6v6 game. Just gonna have to judge it from there when it actually releases.
Out of curiosity though... I wonder if they hit a wall in performance because of the engine, overly taxing environments, hardware limitations, or maybe its just exactly how they say it is and this is the game they intended to make after testing it.
From developer and player impressions it sounds like there is constant player interaction.
Apparently they completely rewrote the netcode.
Forgot that plenty of people have already played the game. I think that eases my worries
They did? Hm i do hope it's still good.
What they are hoping to do is make the missions you have more like actual objectives and less "Capture this flag/area/straight TDM."
We have plenty of shooters that do straight DM or objective stuff but most of it is pretty bog standard. I am hoping Respawn freshen things up a bit more.
You a bad motherfucker!
Dude why are you even in this thread?
Cut or uncut? I can't tell.
Watching XxX-2 atm and I read his sniping brag-post like Ice Cube.
I want to see evolving objectives in a match that end up being different for players. So say 2 players on each team get an objective to secure or defend a location, another 2 get a move/stop a emp/charge/VIP to that location and the 3rd group of two is tasked with just defending or attacking whoever they pick.
What element of randomness might the AI enemies add to how a match plays out? I imagine it as if a TDM were going on during a L4D campaign. Perhaps Respawn can limit repetition by changing the scenario within a level. An AI director that works harder against the more skilled players could be interesting.

Please don't bring reason in here! What is wrong with you?
I think ultimately that is their idea. The Angel City one has one team trying to rescue someone, the other preventing and then having to run for it if they fail. That stuff sounds pretty basic but how inventive they get with the missions will keep people playing.
All I want if Titanfall D-Day landings.
This. Cant believe neogaf has adopted the pre-historic mentality that EA has been trying to incorporate that more players=better game just to sell more bfz.
League of Legends is probably the most successful competitive MP game right now and its 5v5. Its like we are actually considering player count as a factor of what makes a game good. really? Do you also think next-gen counter-strike will be 32v32? Its about playing a well balanced competitive multiplayer. Not a mindless clusterf*ck because casuals are attracted to bigger numbers. Bf4 cant even scratch MLG with all the hype it got. i mean, do you people really think that they couldnt add more players? even a graphic intensive game like bf4 runs 64 players, what makes you think titanfall cant run 24? Competition is addictive and thats what they're aiming for, they dont care about huge mindless battles where no one has control of it due to all the variables. History speaks for itself the most successful games dont even break the 10 player count.
Well they're mixing SP and MP in their maps so I guess they'll have cool scenerios like that. I hope at least. Like I said earlier in the thread though, for a game that is supposed to be out in 2 months there's a lot of things we don't know yet...
A "rush" map with every player starting in Titans and the attackers trying to break through a wall to destroy anti-air could be epic.
Crying about player count without any sort of context has to be about the stupidest fucking stuff I've seen on this board in all my time.
It's like if Respwan had just created the game of Chess and was going to release it on Xbox and said it was going to be two players. I'm sure all you smart posters would be bitching about how the game needs 100 players and it must be because of system limitations it's not.
Do you see how fucking stupid you would sound saying that? I really don't see this situation being much different than that.
