Official Thread Titanfall 2

TF1 was 792p

TF2 is supposedly 720p. But the game looks better, has better frame rate, and screen tearing is either zero, or so little nobody can see it.

So it shows P's aren't everything.

The big things that make it look better is the lighting and colour palette.

Doesn't change the fact that they should be doing better.

If you haven't read the book "The Final Hours of Titanfall" by Geoff Keighly, I do recommend it. It's not a particularly hard or long read and you should be able to find out for a couple of bucks on Amazon. If you're wondering why they made some of the decisions that they made, like no Single Player campaign or 720p, etc. etc. It's pretty well explained in the book. Considering the conditions under which that game was made it's amazing it came out as good as it did.

Geoff Keighly, as in the Gametrailers dude? I ain't giving that tool none of my money.
 


900p wth!? Save us Neo

Did you play the first game? I was a recent convert, and the game is fun as hell!

There are moments when the graphics are rather lacking, but in a whole, it's too fast to notice! I'm surprised it wasnt copied more. Traversal alone without Titans feels liberating. And I know you love those fps games!
 
I really like Titanfall and the decision to include Titan Counter in TF2 or not will be my deciding factor. I don't want COD kill streaks in my game.

I hope Respawn is also listening to fans about attrition.

I want this game to be successful.

PlayStation LifeStyle: Will Attrition or an Attrition-like game mode be back or be available at launch? If not, part of a future update?
Respawn: *Both members grin*
Welch: Interesting question.

PSLS: And you’re smirking. Has this come up before?”
Welch: Interesting question. I would answer this way: The tech test was a very small subset of the game. We’re fans of playing (the original) Titanfall and all of its game modes, and just think people will have to wait to see what we provide next. Is that enough of a hint? But we’re all ears. I know the right people. I know the right guy. I know a guy and I think he’s listening.

f*** the hints. Who are they trying to entertain here? Either is it is or it isn't. And the fact that they won't answer a simple question on a game mode that they know people want makes me think it's not there. And I hope to be wrong in that as well but I get the feeling I'm not.

I'm thinking it will be in.

But yeah, I hate how devs are so hush hush about certain things. The game comes out in a month or so, everything is locked and loaded, and there's hardly any info about the game aside from the beta and a trailer about titans.

I can understand a dev not wanting to spoil a storyline or show gamers how to beat a boss battle, but for general gameplay devs making sports or shooters should be flooding the internet with news bites telling gamers what's in the game this close to release.

TF2 also goes up against CoD, BF and Gears 4. And perhaps more shooters I missed.

They should be laying out the cards what modes are in the game. TF1 had an issue with barebones stats (at launch) and modes, so if TF2 is that much of an improvement, they should be PRing it.

Agreed. Feels like a d*** kind if thing to say. Why would you not just go ahead and say it's in there? There are a lot of people (like myself) that their purchase is dependent on attrition being in the game.

It makes me think that attrition will not be available at launch, but they are planning on adding it in later. If that's the case, there is no way I'm picking this up at launch. I'll wait for a sale after they patch it in.
 
Yeah guys, I'm waiting on reviews and impressions before I pick this up. I 100% agree that TF felt like a half finished game.

I honestly can't believe EA is launching this next month.

And D*** It I want my Titan counter!!! That's why I play the game. I don't live on MP online. Put it in!

Glad they brought back attrition and ya, that map looks way better than the 3 maps in the beta. way better.
 
Cool. Best mode in TF.

I hope they churn out as often as TF1. I avg'ed probably 30 grunt kills a game. One game I had 50+.

That's a stupid thing to keep under wraps if it's in. Stupid. Especially with all the flak it's getting.

Edit: I see that it's in. Good.

Agreed.

I don't think they shoehorned Attrition into the game over the past few weeks, so they've known about the whole time.

It's not like Attrition is a new mode to surprise gamers with a sudden YT video..

TF2 has some odd marketing and PR. Not only did the beta result in lots of questions, but even their Q&A was vague. Something like "Is Attrition is TF2?", should not be the kind of question devs play coy with. Should be a very easy yes or no answer from day one.
 
Reviews are super good. I'm back to day 1 and I wish more games would release on a Friday. If there was ever game I wanted a sequel to deliver on, this is it in recent memory for me.
 
Some questions for those picking up the game and who have played the first one.

1. Is there Titan customisation like the first game? Different chassis, different weapons, different abilities. Or is it pre built hero Titans like from the beta ?

2. Is Attrition a full mode available on all maps? Is it the same as the first version or have they 'improved' it?

3. Any of the original Titan weapons in the sequel? 20mm cannon, quad launcher and triple threat for example ?

4. How is the pilot customisation?

5. How many multiplayer maps are there and are all modes playable on all maps?

6. How many modes are there?

The Titans do not have weapon loadouts that you can change. It is much.more "hero" like, but they do have some customization. For example; you can use one of your slots to give you an extra boost.

2. Is Attrition a full mode available on all maps? Is it the same as the first version or have they 'improved' it?
Attrition appears unchanged. It appears to available in all maps



3. Any of the original Titan weapons in the sequel? 20mm cannon, quad launcher and triple threat for example ?

40mm seems to be the only one that returned

4. How is the pilot customisation?

This appears to be pretty indepth compared to the first Titanfall. Weapon loadouts can be changed, skills can be changed, attachments for weapons can be changed. They also have weapon skins.

5. How many multiplayer maps are there and are all modes playable on all maps?
I believe there are 9 maps at launch. Future dlc maps are free. All modes appear to be playable on each map


6. How many modes are there?
Attrition
Last Titan standing
Pilot vs pilot
Amped hard point
Ctf
One on one arena
Free for all

I might be missing one.

I lived in MST time zone, so I only have to stay up until 10 and I can start playing. Super pumped
 
Was close to ordering it tonight, but didn't. I know the reviews are pretty good. I'll watch some videos this weekend to get a better look at the pace and stuff.
 
I can't seem to invite friends or join my friends(just like in the beta). We have to us the network invite and that doesn't keep you in a party for the next game.

Anyone else having this problem?
 
I watched a few streams of it this morning and it looked so much better than the beta (probably lying to myself but there you go). So now it's downloading. I don't even have time to play it. I'm my own worst enemy...
