Gotta admit, I wasn't all too pumped after the Tech Test, but the way the game has changed in response to feedback has certainly got me a lot more excited.

For anyone that lost interest with the Test, I'd highly recommend having a look at the footage that popped up all this week by a bunch of youtubers and Respawn from a fuller PC build of the game. With the addition of the Ronin, Legion, Tone and Northstar Titans, the maps look to flow a lot better.

I'll post some links later, but off the top of my head the major changes thus far that have bedn fixed are:

-Wallrunning and movement has been sped up
-The orange outline on enemy Pilots is a lot dimmer
-Attrition returns! Also AI bots are around like they were in the original
-6 factions to choose. 3 militia (6-4, Angel City Elite and Maurauder Corps) and 3 IMC (Vinson Dynamics, Apex Predators and Ares Division)
-Titan eject height is now as it was in the original
-Smart Pistol is one of those temporary powerup not-killstreak things with only two magazines. No more loadout weapon.
-Lots of customisation for each pilot, weapon and Titan model. Camouflages, War Paints and so forth for all of them.
-A bunch of pilot abilities not seen in the Test look cool too.

If you were interested in Titanfall or Titanfall 2 before the test, I'd have another look now. Respawn have definitely listened to the feedback on the test (I'll put some links below for the lazy when I get on a computer).

Is it still COD with mech killstreaks or is it Titanfall again?

Looking more like the latter each day.

Thank god

Yeah

Respawn have been really receptive to feedback. It's been really cool.

You guys think the hype for this game is going to fall faster than the titans, just like what happened with the first game?

there's hype for this game?

Titanfall 1 was generally praised for its gameplay but had no singleplayer and very little longevity in the multiplayer. As such,it gained a small but very hardcore following who consistently play(ed) it two years after release.

Titanfall 2 was announced and interest was surged, but the interest died when the beta dropped and they made some very significant changes to the formula. However, Respawn have been very clear on listening to community feedback and a fuck ton of footage (including a singleplayer campaign) has revived a lot of interest that was killed in the beta. Unfortunately, I fear the damage has been done by clickbait articles with titles like DAE TITANFALL 2 IS GARBAGE?!!!?!?! that once again, it will be a niche game that retains a hardcore following but no widespread appeal.

Especially with the likes of the Battlefield hype train and the Modern Warfare Remastered hype train to compete with.

i have a feeling that the beta killed the game before launch, people like me who aren't actively following the games development are the majority and will not know about the changes made since the beta

Pretty much. It's sad because the game post-feedback is looking fantastic, but it's likely too late for those who lost interest.
