AMA I got Titanfall Tech Test early acess

Not a fan of the first game. Not keen on this one either. The game just doesnt feel good to play, imo. Like most of the 'hyper-mobile' fps games. Just deleted it to download Witcher 3, cause its on sale.

I was excited. Now I'm not.

First impressions are overall just dull - the parkour feels nowhere near as important as the original and everything feels slowed down. The TTK is way too high and getting the drop on someone is an instant win. There isn't enough chaos on the maps (Titans and AI) to give the same feeling of being in an actual warzone like the first and overall the game just feels dull.

Sound design for the guns isn't all that good either. Everything sounds pissweak.

Overall it just feels like another generic shooter with movement mechanics slapped on rather than the bouncy zip-around-the-map jumping off walls run around stompy fun that was the original. Now it's just tedious. In the first I'd just hop on a game not even to play properly, I just enjoyed running around the maps and chaining up wallrun combos and smart pistolling the AI to rack up points, mainly just running around 'cause it was fun. Now it just feels boring.

Probably going to leave this one a week before getting. See how people react to it - if they change stuff between now ans release people like, I'll look into it more. Right now my excitement has been kind of killed. A real shame because TTF1 is one of my favourite shooters and I had really high hopes for the sequel. I really didn't want to believe the stuff being said in the forums and subreddit but it's true and it's depressing.

Another dubstep fps

There are many and reasonable complaints, but the three that hit me on the head are:

>R-201 Carbine is the only weapon everyone uses
>Maps are weird
>No timed Titanfall cool-down

It has the same problem as Fallout 4: painfully mediocre. Instead of building on what they did right and improving what they did wrong, they changed the direction of the game to cater to a more mainstream crowd. It's a shame really, I was excited for TF2 on PS4.

It's actually a Pre-Alpha, not a beta test

it comes out in october, pre-alpha/beta/whatever is just a fancy name for their server testing demo

there isn't enough time between now and release to fix the games problems

Their lead engineer said the current pre-alpha build is from June. Four months isn't much better than two though.

I knew that the tech test wouldn't be on PC about two weeks before it was actually announced and I predicted it would be a fuckfest right then and there. Sure enough, it was true.
