Will Titanfall 2 have a community in a couple months though? 1 pretty much died immediately despite having so much hype surrounding it.
Think about this: if people who were disgusted by this just bought TF2 instead of IW, then yes.
It's like the chicken and the egg thing; get the game, hike the community up, and the rest will follow. Do nothing, and it'll accomplish nothing.
Wow this is just straight up F2P garbage in a full price game.
We first started with map DLC,
then came online passes (shudders),
and now it is pay to play/win (not likely you'll be winning when Timmy no thumbs steals his mom's credit card to get a one shot kill to anywhere sniper variant from a loot box).
This is why I might have to support Titanfall 2 because of reasonable business practices, but I also have to remember that EA is still behind them and that BF1 still has player base splitting map packs...
I can see a not insignificant amount of people returning it and getting Titanfall 2 instead.
Ah, but TF2 I Respawn's IP. They have a say on how it's handled and such.
I hope it happens. Respawn needs to release a new demo of SP and MP when IW releases just to let gamers know that there's an alternative.
I'm kinda hoping TF2 succeeds since I want that whole "no season pass" thing to be the norm. I'd be willing to pay for some premium skins if that helps this cause gain more ground.
This is why people should go and buy Titanfall 2!

You get a free supply drop every 4-5 games. So it definitely could be worse.
I personally like the epic versions that change the abilities of the guns (turning dual pistols into dual shotguns for example), but yeah, the salvage drop rate is pretty garbage.
The review thread is gonna be really interesting.
So never.
Posted this in the Titanfall OT but got no response, what did they change from the alpha of Titanfall 2s MP compared to the full game? It's getting such great reviews but I really disliked it compared to the first.

I forgot how insufferable GAF can get. I'd put money on 90% of the people posting here not understanding how this system actually works. But CoD bad, CoD bad, I know.
I told myself I was done with CoD when Black Ops 3 started putting actual weapons in loot crates. Nevermind that you have to own the season pass to even get a chance at some of these items. I'm fine with cosmetics but once you start putting gameplay altering items behind a paywall for a full priced game I'm out.
If you know so much more than the rest of us, explain what it is you understand about the system that we don't.
You can grind out to get specific variants you want without buying microtransactions. We don't know what the area are going to be like in the final game. The variants aren't that powerful.
The problem here is that you need to collect a currency called "Salvage" to craft. From my beta playtime I got around 7-10 salvage per game. To craft the best (Epic) version of a gun, you need 5840 salvage (200, then 540, then 1600, then 3500). Assuming you get 10 salvage every game (and that's probably not happening), you need to play 584 games. A COD match takes anywhere between 7-15 minutes to complete - assuming 10 minutes per game, that's 97 hours to complete one gun.
Sure, that's known. The issue was explained in the OP:
You can grind out to get specific variants you want without buying microtransactions. You don't have to rely on the RNG. We don't know what the area are going to be like in the final game. The variants aren't that powerful. Important stat boosts like damage have considerable drawbacks to fire rate. In those cases, it's less gun > better gun so much as gun > different gun. You are at a very small disadvantage using the base weapons, but common and rare variants were easily obtainable in the beta. The variants beyond those were in most cases not necessarily better, but like I said, different.
That's ignoring daily bonus salvage, mission team salvage (you get a considerable amount from leveling these up), and duplicate salvage from supply drops. What's more, we don't know the salvage gain rate in the full game. It was a common criticism in the beta, so maybe let's wait and see how it changes before selling this apocalyptic narrative?
Yes! TitanFall 2 is not only better, but it has free DLC and CURRENTLY no microtransactions! It deserves to succeed.

Impressions are really good in the OTWhoa had no idea about this. Loved the first one but thought I'd wait a bit on the second one. How's the singleplayer?

Yeah, no. Check this out: https://youtu.be/KasWKwOIJlY
So not having to reload when getting two headshots isn't anything to be concerned about? What about an SMG with a shotgun as a free attachment? Getting health back when killing an enemy isn't powerful? Yep, gotcha. We're all just hating here.
FYi; I master prestiged in BO3 and played it religiously until they started doing that Supply Drops weapons thing (yes, I'm a CoD MP fan).
GAF is not a hivemind leave shitty comments like that out.
