Innovation in the typical military-shooter formula should be lauded. Even the campaign is pretty solid.

my only problem with it is that they made it slower paced than the first game to try and grab some of the COD audience

Wasnt this fixed in the beta?

it's faster than it was in the beta, but it's still not at TF1 speed

well thats mildly disappointing

It's a lot of balance issues, I think.  Stuff like the sonar knife and time to kill.

I don't play too much of it, but my only gripe is the 3rd person animations for entering titans.  It was a lot cooler in TF1 in 1st person.

This, also the faster TTK, and the lack of Titan shields kinda dumbs Titan vs Titan combat into a sheer DPS race. I've also personally had some heavy aim issues, but that just be my controller or a bad installation.

Iv'e said a dozen times that IT IS STILL A GREAT GAME, just not AS good gameplay-wise as the first, and it's not a game that I can bring myself to enjoy due to the issues iv'e stated.

Titanfall 2 is my favourite shooter in years.

Did you play mission 5?

i just played the first two, but i liked it enough to ask him to bring over his xbone again later

Awesome.

You gonna do a review/ Verb Plays... thread? I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the campaign and multiplayer (if you end up trying it)

why does CMD hate this so much again?

it's pretty dope, actually

i believe marketing let it down in sales, maybe

otherwise i think the general consensus was its pretty good to anyone whose played it

>marketing
>BF1 hype
>cod also being space and having MWR
>the original Titanfall's consensus was that it died quickly and was pretty niche
>Titanfall 2 tech test getting a lukewarm reception
>overall people just being tired of futuristic shooters and advanced movement
>no one had any reason to expect the campaign to be anything but a generic linear military shooter

Shame, because like you said, it had a lot going for it. Especially how they've handled DLC and microtransactions. But I feel like a march/ april release would have done wonders, as it would allow Angel City, Live Fire and a bunch of other stuff to be in the game on launch. And one of the two contenders for best campaign shooter of 2016, if not of recent years in general.

I just think its a series doomed to eternally live in a niche market.

Titanfall 3 will be beast

maybe

what annoys me is that the original titanfall is not available on any good platforms

The original Titanfall didn't have a singleplayer campaign. It was a series of multiplayer missions with some unique scripted events and dialogue in the background that most people never noticed because they were shooting stuff.

I did make this guide around T2's release for people who never played or got the story of the first, however.

Verb is fired. Baconshelf is my new waifu

I like the story, it's actually kind of cool how the Militia go about doing their shit. It's a shame they had to cut the campaign because of development and lawsuit fuckery though.

Semi related but I'm also the guy who's been going on the wiki and pretty much rewriting everything because it was all either incorrect, outdated, badly formatted, nonexistant or plain wrong information.

Also got ahold of the spritesheets for the game so I've been snipping out icons and banners and shit to upload.
