| Titanfall
Just played my first match on the beta and all I can say is holy fuck
Like really, that's all I can say... Half the time I had no idea what was going on
To be fair, I haven't played a multiplayer shooter regularly since I moved to Hong Kong probably.. so 7 years now? I may have played occasionally at my old place when I had good internet, but even then, probably not much.
So the last game I played regularly was Battlefield 2, in 2006 or so. I completely missed out on the genre since then, and this is supposed to be the 'next step forward' from all that I had missed
I will say that it plays really well, and I will definitely play it some more... See if you can get into the beta and maybe we can get some matches going. It might have helped that I am in a country where probably not many people have signed up for the beta, I'm not sure. Maybe they are just accepting a ton of people before the game comes out.

At the end of the match, you can run to an extraction point and escape to earn some extra XP. It was on the top of a building, and like NOTHING I wall-ran around a corner, did some double jumps, and got up there. It was my FIRST MATCH and it was so natural to navigate to the building. That was pretty amazing.

looks pretty underwhelming so far
CoD with parkour/mechs on source engine...and 6v6 only
at least it has dedicated servers unlike that POS MW2
and visuals are not bad maxed out on PC  Titanfall screenshots: max settings at 7680x1440 on LPC | PC Gamer | |

looks cool, but it's a bit too messy gameplay for me. i'm old, my eyes can't keep up with leaping soldiers with booster jets.

I AM HAVING SO MUCH FUCKING FUN
Sometimes it just "clicks" and goes beyond what you'd ever expect from a shooter. Other times, it's just a shooter

OK so
Toss an arc grenade, this blinds the titans
Jump on his back, shoot him to death
Bail out and jump on the next titan
My titan is up, so summon it
Kill titan while he's fighting mine in auto mode
Get into my titan, and start kicking ass again
SO MUCH WIN  | |

Posted via RS Mobile | If you manage to sneak up on someone, it's a guaranteed kill. If they spot you, and they are a good shot, they can take you before your pistol homes in on the 3 shots required for a kill
I guess it's good if you're playing with lag

AI is only there to build up your score, they are all but harmless. Like "creeps" in a MOBA game.
But it's good they're there for people who are new or not very good, as they can still make a pretty big difference in whether your team wins or loses.
Actually Ben Kuchera has a pretty good writeup on the game Titanfall is the perfect game for people who are terrible at first-person shooters | Polygon | |

^ya thats what i figured the reason they added the AI bots.. its a good way to increase their install base
having one player dominating everyone else with 30+ kill streaks in CoD is what killing the community.. imagine how frustrating it is for other players who jus trying to play the game for fun as oppose to those who does it for bragging rights on youtube
im picking this up for pc

im picking this up for pc | I never understood this, why didn't Cod just form games based on ranks with a +10/-10 range or something like the way they do NHL14 games online?

prestige playlist in blackops 1
league play in blackops 2
still didn't really help when you fight a clan of guys who know what they're doing.
to be honest, i think it's cod's annual release is killing the game. players are scattered across mw1,2,3,ghost + blackops1,2. when i first started playing mw2 and blops1, there were between 300-600k people online at any given time. now, you'll probably find just under 100k per title.
activision's doing 3 year releases now, likely rotating between what's left of infinity ward, treyarc, and now sledgehammer games. cod is gg unless they go mmo.. which is where destiny comes in.

I love to "rodeo" mechs but quite often you don't get credit for the kill, since someone else usually gets the finishing shot

Beta will be fully public after the closed beta ends on the 18th. I hope everyone joins!
I can still never play an FPS with a controller... Maybe the Valve controller would allow me to, but I'd have to try it first

played for few hours, level 10
game is really face pace and much cod like
map isn't that big, round are quite short
the mechs are a change from your typical run and gun shooters
overall very fun for a casual shooter
most likely gonna to pass, cause EA
