The guy I quoted said 15 maps was alot, numerically its not vs any recent call of duty halo or battlefield. The games titanfall will be compared with

Battlefield 2 shipped with 12.
Battlefield 3: 10
Battlefield 4: 10

Halo:CE 13
Halo 2: 12
Halo 3: 11
Halo Reach: 9
Halo 4: 10

Call of Duty 2: 9
Call of Duty 4: 16
MW2: 16
BLOPS: 14
BLOPS 2: 14
Ghosts: 14

15 is a lot of maps for a multiplayer focused video game.

 

[antitrop]

Is he actually reviewing it? Same guy who asked if he could host E3 or be a presenter for Microsoft?

 

[CreepingFear]

I've already watched tonight's True Detective and Cosmos... I don't have anything to kill time while waiting for release. ;_;

There's always porn.

 

[SomeOneInaHat]

There's always porn.

 

[VisceralBowl]

So wait. Reviews are going up at 9 am PST right.

 

[antitrop]

So wait. Reviews are going up at 9 am PST right.

Uh huh. 11 1/2 hours from now.

 

[Eclectic Jabber Monkey]

My ~34GB of audio is ready!

Spoiler

How the hell does it use that much space for audio, multiple languages aside.

Anyone know if we can delete the files for languages we aren't using? Hate to waste a ton of SSD space for stuff I'll never use.

 

[RS4-]

100GB left on SSD, ok Titanfall, you got it.

I'll play in the morning, hopefully special .exe is ok

 

[Milennia]

Ok,first coffee down, need to stay up for reviews.

 

[Bii]

Just built a new PC and have 170+GB free on my SSD. Titanfall's going to take a chunk of that.

 

[Jtrizzy]

It's crazy to me that they don't rotate the coverage between the "journalists". Same with Greg Miller doing all of the Uncharted/Sony coverage. It's a disgusting combination of beat writer and cheer leader.

 

[Woo-Fu]

Directly comparing map count seems kind of silly when the map sizes are different, player counts are different, modes are different, etc. You could probably fit 4-6 Titanfall maps on Oman alone.

That said I think the number of maps for Titanfall is fine. 15 maps, multiple modes, should keep us entertained for awhile.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Well the banner is ready. Will sleep until the morning now.

 

[matthieuC]

What really matters is which of the maps are fun to play on. Every game is different on the number of actual quality maps . Luckily it seems Respawns knows what they're doing with map design, so I think we'll be okay.

 

[jtar86]

Playing ghosts this weekend really makes me appreciate how awesome these maps in titanfall look. Its very clear that all the talented map designers went to respawn after the split.

This is true.

Nice, so the thread is going up later on today then?

 

[BraXzy]

I'm looking forward to seeing the reviews come in tomorrow to see what the reaction to the game is. Like others have said I couldn't care less if it got terrible scores because it is an incredibly fun game and I will enjoy it.. I predict 9/10's on average though.

 

[Jarmel]

Been in beast mode tonight. Hit G2 and been burning through the lower levels.

Also nothing like starting my new regen with two matches where I beast 18-0 and 15-0 back to back. Nobody made it home on the short bus either.

The regen cutscene is fucking awesome.

 

[JayEH]

Looks like east coasters are getting screwed with XB1 digital download times. Sigh.

Aren't you going to the launch event?

 

[FatalT]

I think the PC servers just went down. :O

 

[Milennia]

Jeff Gerstmann is playing the game right now on my friends list :////

 

[Broadbandito]

how are people playing this?

 

[Jarmel]

I should warn people, the skill floor is much higher than the beta, right now.

I wouldn't necessarily expect your KDR from the beta to hold.

I played some games earlier, was the same.
Like 6 games didn't die a single time, lowest score was 11-

 

[M.W.]

Yeah, that sucks. Glad I'm West Coast.

So I should expect to be terrible-er...got it...lol

 

[CyReN]

Really don't see the reason for reviews yet since the game is just multiplayer. Should have a score in a few days/week to full test it out. That's me though.

 

[BigTnaples]

Couldn't help what?

Playing.

Can you talk more about the campaign? Is it just cutscenes added to standard attrition game or is it more?

It's standard game modes, but with mission briefings, openings, dialogue, and events during gameplay. As well as Character NPCs you fight with, not just grunts and specters.


Over all, awesome game, and leave a ton of room for improvement for the sequel, which is great.

 

[Milennia]

So I should expect to be terrible-er...got it...lol

I saw no difference, honestly.
Obviously as more people get the game it gets higher, thats beyond a given and obvious, but that wasn't the case when i was playing.
My mechanics transferred fairly well.

 

[JackHerer]

Campaign seems to not be working correctly. I can't get passed a certain point and it's making me play the same missions over and over again

 

[BraXzy]

Aren't you going to the launch event?

Yeah It sounds like it'll be really cool. Hopefully there's some sort of cool swag to grab!

 

[Nyteshade517]

I was just joking. I'm getting the game because I had fun with the beta and want to have a good time. I know my limitations with shooters so I just do what I can.

 

[Bsigg12]

Jeff Gerstmann is playing the game right now on my friends list :////

I played about 12 matches with him last night and played against him and Brad today for a few matches. Jeff is pretty good.

 

[Pat_DC]

I agree but everyone wants those clicks and traffic.
Maybe they could do it in two parts. Initial review/score during ideal conditions and maybe update once the game and servers are in the wild and everyone is playing.

 

[Milennia]

Brad is playing dark souls 2 now lol

 

[-tetsuo-]

God this fucking stuttering problem :-/

 

[Ellite25]

He seems like a nice guy, but I can hardly stand listening to him. The way he talks irks me.

 

[JackHerer]

Just got into a campaign match and once the game started everything was black. The HUD was perfectly fine but I couldn't see the environment at all, just blackness. Really weird.

 

[Bsigg12]

Brad is playing dark souls 2 now lol

He's so far down the Souls' rabbit hole that I bet Alice would be impressed.

 

[Jarmel]

I saw no difference, honestly.

Have had quite a few people mention it, and I agree.

He's good at a shooter? Holy shit.

 

[antitrop]

Just Left Trigger, Right Trigger, man.

 

[Milennia]

Just wasn't my experience, i found my games ridiculously easy.
Not expecting that come tuesday, but I'm also not a bad player, so theres at.

 

[HelloMeow]

As if I was going to manage an 8.2 k/d.

 

[BraXzy]

I want to try and have a 2.0+ pilot K/D since that's slightly better than average. I had over 4 on the beta so hopefully it doesn't drop too much.

 

[M.W.]

Is there a party system/lobby in the final version? I only remember being thrown into matches my friends were in.

 

[jediyoshi]

Nah, people just don't pay attention when that actually does occur giving it that impression. People already forgot Greg did the Zampella interview a few days ago.

 

[Bsigg12]

He's good at a shooter? Holy shit.

Yes, yes, we all know Jeff prefers and plays shooters, no need to get snarky.
