Titanfall 2 Multiplayer Technical Test Impressions (XB1/PS4)

I'll admit, the footage I've seen has been depressing, but only from the angle that it doesn't look a lot like what I enjoyed in the original titanfall.
But at the same time, the last thing I want to do is be someone who's not willing to give something a chance just because it's different. Something can be different but still good, so I have to look at it that way, play the beta, and just give it a fair shake.
TF1 was fantastic, but definitely flawed, and I think some of that actually came down to the better elements of the series, such as the speed and the health of titans. While elements were individually fun, they weren't always a cohesive whole. It seems like they've changed both of those to make something a little more traditional, and while that definitely gives me pause, I don't want to be the guy poo-pooing something just because it's new.

Took me forever. Mainly because I was trying to use the chaingun. Arc cannon + LTS is the way to get those.
Hey guys, is there an open beta coming? I do not have a code....

nah, greatly improves it but they might have ruined it in other ways.
One of the happiest moments of my life getting that 50th pull.
He doesn't know what he's talking about. Majority of those posts are from people that haven't even been part of that reddit board. Most, if not all, the people that played Titanfall 1 consistently all complain about the same problems.
I finally got to grips with the grapple hook that game, and instead of going 12-16 and the like, I went 18-6 and was actually traversing fairly well.
Still don't believe that it's traversal will ultimately match TF1 thanks to the maps, but grapple helps a lot. Or perhaps thats why there is more open space and less to jump between, because of the grapple?

Damn man I think I agree with you
titanfall 1 I could zip across the map and wall jump beautiful and for most the time get the flank. Now I try the flank but I get nailed by a titan 100 yards away. Why are the maps so open and what happen to my wall running I only played one match tho but this are my complaints so far
it's not. it's not even close. even the wall running up a tower feels clunky and unintuitive.
i'm getting around 30+ kills a match already. getting a hold of the stim pretty decently. It's a fun stim, it just needs to be longer, less taper off, and faster cool down.
Damn man I think I agree with you
I only played one match tho but this are my complaints so far
you'll get used to it. it comes down to stim really, the wall running and bouncing is completely neutered. without the grapple hook or a functioning stim the game is going to play like COD.

I thought I warped my TItan into the other Titan. It was just a guy though. Is there a way to get pilots off of you? Where the electric smoke? I'm terrible at bounty because I never go to the bank. I got the most kills in the match once (like 19) but only 300 points.
Watching this stream, fuck it looks great. Why is everybody saying its super slow now?

I can't wait to try it tomorrow.

Looks great, thanks. So the streamer is also saying stim is broken...but broken as in overpowered, haha.

I don't think the movement is actually slower or clunkier. Like I said, it's more that I don't think the current maps are conducive to the kind of parkour gameplay we saw in, say, Angel City. It feels clunkier because you're hitting the ground a lot instead of chaining a bunch of jumps together to get across the map rapidly.
No True Scotsman
I wouldn't be surprised if the maps had wider spaces to facilitate the grappling hook.
Why did they remove delayed sprint but kept on all times? I liked using delayed sprint, having it being on or off completely sucks. Delayed gave you that freedom to walk while still having automatic sprint on. Hope they add it back.
Not very fun mind you, but it's an easy way to get goosers.
If you want to cheese it, play on I think export, sit on the roof of the building opposite of the thing that shoots electricity in the sky.. and shoot away all game. You should get 1-2 goosers a game without much trouble.
Not very fun mind you, but it's an easy way to get goosers.
because they're playing on a team of 5 that all play shooters religiously so they can pretty much just fly around the map. it would slow down to a crawl if the team on the other side were just as good.
Why? Based on what? How can you say this? Maybe they simply know what they are doing?
they do know what they're doing. not sure what you're talking about here? things always seem better when you're having success.

The players are utilizing mobility to their advantage, you're saying if the other team was as good the mobility would break. He's questioning the basis of your assertion.
sigh.. because at any high level play people sit back and head glitch, not fly around the map as freely because they'd be picked off before they even get to the other side, get it?

I get what you're saying, but you're providing no proof that mobility won't be useful for good players. It was useful and quick in 1, why wouldn't it be useful in 2? Just because it's slightly slower or there aren't quite as many walls to run on?

It's not super slow, just a little slower. Based on the maps we've access to, there's less focus on wall running etc...
It definitely still feels like Titanfall.

Because you're not as fast and glow orange.

Just start going to the bank then! Electric smoke is right on the D-Pad in the Titan that shoots lasers (Name escapes me). Don't think the other one has electric smoke.

It is useful to a certain point, but if you are flying across the map you will quickly get picked off when playing against people of a high level.

I think Amped Hardpoint will be a bit less campy, but literally the design of these two maps plus Bounty Hunt require campy gameplay to do well, which is too bad.

the grappling hook is definitely gonna lead to some epic clips. Here is my first weak attempt but ended up feeling pretty awesome about it afterwards
What are you even complaining about at this point?
Yeah both terrible game modes to show off the game... not one person is even on pilot v pilot mode right now, which while I'm glad to see because it's probably terrible like in Titanfall 1, but it feels like a waste of a mode.
The map design is bad which is disappointing coming off Titanfall 1's excellent maps but I'm more worried they think these are the best maps as you usually pick your best to show off a beta to sell your game. I hope that's not the case because oops if not.

Im on 5. I felt the same way, somethings off. Any higher than 5 and I can't control my ADS strafing but I can still traverse fine, its weird.
I'm weird.
That sounds like Pilot user error to me!
I dominate with my Titan in part 1. Look forward to tomorrow to see how this plays compared to the first.useyourfist

Am I missing something, i got am email about this, followed the link and it tells me how to get it off the store. No mention of needing a code? Am I going to end up downloading something I can't play as I don't have a code?

Is there aim assist in this? Sometimes it feels like there is slightly, then other times it doesnt. Also, is there a perk or attachment that makes less recoil? Getting cross mapped by guys using the CAR with no recoil on the kill cam, but that could just be through the kill cam.

I did that. It was bullshit that they made it easier.
Game looks really slow compared to the first. Will see tomorrow or whenever I can get my hands on an early code.

The aiming system is weird. It feels super over-sensitive, the "aiming styles" are all pretty odd with the exception of "fine aim" which works for me. The "classic" option is the worst, feels nothing like the original.
That sounds like Pilot user error to me!
It's near impossible to take out two or three Titans now compared to T1 where I could easily do it. The lack of shields and boosts limit you a lot.
