Official Thread Titanfall 2

Honestly, I think the game didn't take off because it lacked the carrot on-a-stick thing that so many people seem to need. A sense of progression seems mandatory now-a-days. Prestige-ing was just annoying and I stopped a Gen 3.
They missed the mark on customization. Oooh, you can change your emblem, lol. There should be a friggin' Livery editor in there!
Would love a Single Player campaign with that gameplay- it would have so much potential!
Adding more recoil would slow the game Waaay down.
Make the bots available for those who are new or not that good in the game. Put a hardcore mode where it's only PvP, now that would be fun. The bots are just cannon fodder anyways and provide nothing to the game IMO.
I'm curious if they will release all of the maps from part one basically making the previous exclusivity null and void.
Over all I think it is cool that Sony only fans will get to try it. Looking back I have my doubts that it will sell well on the 4 though. I remember many writing this off as a COD clone and were pretty negative about it when the first came out. Time will tell.

I think we can all agree that Weapon content was lacking, but it still featured all that you have in other current popular FPS games.
There is a bot less mode that allows more players. If I remember right the population on that playlist is lower than most.
My major complaint about the game, besides lack.of titan/customization/weapons was there match making. I wish I could just set it to best connection some other shooters do. Also, me and my buddy would get put into lobbies where it was two on two. No big deal right, but then the match would populate and it would be me and my buddy vs 6 other people. While even being out numbered, we would hold our own, but its impossible to win in those cases. Usually they would have several people with 150 minion kills. One time a guy had almost 300. After that happened 4-5 times we both just stopped playing.
Other than that, it was a freaking blast. Bots and all

The bots are more than likely staying in the game guys and they will also more than likely remain pretty dumb.
As I said before, they are there for a reason. They help to reduce Titanfall time when people on the other team want to camp/hide. There would have been a ton of complaints about how long it takes to get into a Titan if the bots weren't in the game.
So I'm positive that there will be modes with bots but I'm positive that they will stay in the game.
Except on the PS4. The bots are going to be smart on the PS4, because as some have stated in the past, TF needed the cloud to intentionally make the AI dumb and not too smart.
I guess it's going to suck for PS4 gamers, having to contend with AI that's not as dumb as cloud driven XB1 AI.
Are they, the Bots use Azure on Xbox. Does that mean EA are eating the server cost? If so, I am not buying. EA servers suck, big time.
Hmmm, smarter CPU driver A.I on the console with the weaker CPU, interesting, and funny

But it takes a lot of processing power to intentional make the AI dumb, so TF XB1's dumber AI is leaps and bounds smarter than the smarter AI we'll get on PS4.
Unless MS pulls out an exclusive deal again, safe to say TF 2 will come to PS systems. The dev has been open to this even in last year statements.
The purpose of bots was to give the game a bigger feel of warfare, as opposed to just human vs human. If people want that, just play the pilot vs pilot mode.
Bots are varying in toughness but even the spectres are easy. The point isn't to make them as skilled as a human gamer or else human gamers will be less aggressive playing knowing that they will get picked off by godly AI bots. In which gamers will complain that enemy human gamers are camping and letting the AI bots do all the legwork.
Making AI bots skillful isn't hard. Any dev can make them have pinpoint accuracy and movement algorithms to minimize getting shot by humans.

I like it too. It's like Battelfront-esque. Makes the map and game more interesting.
I think all the Anti-bot folk just died at their hands too much. Now they want rid of them so they never have to feel that shame again

Brilliant game- make it next gen graphics and just make it bigger and better. The bots serve a purpose. They provide scope and a guide to the action on the maps.
Jon Shiring of Respawn Entertainment gave a Public Tech Talk about online game servers and system design, as well as what it took to create a popular (scalable) online multiplayer game in the cloud with Titanfall. Among the topics he covered:
I listened to the whole thing. It was great. It's really fascinating to learn how it the backend of the game works. I'm building a platform using redis and nginx at the moment. Good to hear the plug that it is really fast.
Yeah, thought it was very interesting too. Practically it would have been impossible to do TitanFall in its current form without cloud compute (dedicated servers). I work with Azure day in and out so was interesting to listen to the tech behind TitanFall.
