The biggest game to come to any launch console, period........ I am making that call......System seller and the most important IP in gaming......Titanfall 2 will make or break the X1 or PS4 if Ms or SONY can get exclusivity

It would certainly make the X1 more desirable to me if it was an exclusive, but I think Titanfall 2 will be on everything that can run it.
EA at this point won't let TF2 be exclusive unless Microsoft offered them something they couldn't refuse.
But that doesn't change the fact I think they should. The beta is purely brilliant. Just ran the game for a few hours with the TXB faithful. We're probably the pickiest and more nitpicking of any gamers when it comes to shooters. But it just doesn't have any flaws that make it any less than what it is.
Teamwork in this game is epic.

Best shooter I have played in years and years. It really is like playing a single player multi player match. My best so far is 11 pilot kills, 9 titan kills 37 grunts. Don't think I'll be topping that any time soon. Killed two titans with the nuke, ejected and landed on top of a third enemey titan. I had the spitrfire lmg and destroyed that titan in about 6 seconds. This game is so bad ass
I've seen people get 10+ pilot kills and 30-40 grunt kills, but no way have I seen anyone get close to 9 Titan kills! Nice. Maybe 4-5 tops.
No clue how people get this much. I run around shooting anything and jumping aboard titans like a MOFO and never get close to such numbers.
Question: How many weapons will the full game have ?
I've got 6 or 7 titan kills in a few matches. Really depends on the pilots. The majority don't get out when you rodeo it and shoot the crap out of it. Nealy all my titan kills are from rodeo attacks.
Solid game, I am looking forward to the release. Being a MP only game it better ship with at least 10 - 12 maps and have a good variety of weapons.
I'm thinking Respawn will go the route of bungie did with the original xbox, and Titanfall 2 won't even be on PC after MS buys them. No way in hell does MS let this game go to a sony platform now seeing how well it will do. And I bet anything MS will crank down on the screws even tighter and make this a Xb1 only exclusive, not even on PC to push the incentive of that console.
Its happened with Halo and MS tends to repeat their strategies. Smart for MS to wait and see how the game is received instead of jumping straight in.

It's going to cost them a fortune but I agree. I would be surprised if the deal isn't already done.....Respawn will not be part of the deal, just the rights to exclusivity on xbox1. No way will Vince sell those rights unless a billion dollars is dropped on the company...
The rumoured leak due to to someone messing with the PC files is 14 maps.
Depending how much the franchise costs it may be worth it. Sony prefers to buy out entire development studios, while MS prefers to do partnership timed or permanent deals.
MS' route is cheaper short term and they have no commitment of keeping a dev on the payroll, but all they get short terms advantages.
Sony's route is more costly to buy up a team and then keep them hired (unless they fire them), but they get longer term benefits if the games they make are a hit.
Yeah I understand that, but no way will he go back to where he was with Activison...the studio will remain indie, unless Microsoft give them a Bungie deal
Must say this. 10 hours on the beta and didn't once see any lag related problems.....power of the cloud people 
What I find funny about the BETA is that I have had more fun with it than I did a full game in BF4 and CoD Ghosts. That is saying a lot. MS would be wise to just go ahead and buy up Respawn, making future Titanfall games X1 exclusive. The game is going to be a beast. Should sell millions of copies and millions of X1s.

I have seen it a few time, but is always due to the one random 300+ ping dude that seems to turn up every 2-3 games. I guess these are people who have no DATA centres nearby, like the Australians.
After stuggling to get the feel for this game in the 1st hour or two, I've really been able to get in a grove. I was pulling even on pilot kills most matches, but that has really changed. Getting a lot better with the wall running and Titan piloting. My k/d the last 10 games has been 9.7, and that's just human pilots. It's even higher when you throw in grunts. I've had a few games with zero deaths and 16+ pilot kills. I LOVE this game so far.
Nicely done! And yeah, The first few hours were tough too. My first match was 6-6 vs players. My next game was I think 0 player kills! But after the first maybe 10 games, everything sets in. Although it's easier since everyone is only playing 2 maps so familiarity sets in fast.
I've played about 25-30 matches, level 14. I think my stats are overall 4.4 k/d, 8.6 last 10, vs players 1.5 k/d, 2.8 last 10. Loving it.
Over the last 10, I typically only get 5-10 pilots kills, 10-20 grunt kills, 2-3 Titan kills. But die only about 3-4 times, with a few 1 death matches. I haven't had any zero deaths yet.
I am descent at shooters and struggled with this, I am sure once I figure things out i will be fine. I need to try the rodeo thing on the Titans, totally forgot about that, you just get close and press X right?
I need to pick and choose my battles better, for example I had a bad habit last night of pulling out my anti titan weapon almost every time I saw one even if they were right in front of me, id shoot them once and do minimal damage then I was dead in a second. I need to remember to not always engage and make sure I am up on a roof or have some cover. I totally need to get better at the movement, to many years of COD and found myself staying on the ground and just running around and not remembering to wall run or get on top of buildings
Great game and cant wait to get home tonight and put another hour or so in the beta.

I've only played Attrition and here's some general tips I've used for my play style. I've also maxed out level 14 s I have all the unlocks and custom classes
- Rifleman, using carbine with suppressor and that ACOG
- Arc grenade. I find using frags kind of useless, but tossing an Arc or two at enemy Titans helps
- Cloak
- The default anti-Titan lock on missile
- I play long range and can kill many enemies
- I use Cloak whenever possible... keep spamming it
- That perk that shows on the radar at all times grunts/minions
- I never bother trying to rodeo a Titan. You have to do it cautiously or else you get stomped
- Titan
- Chaingun
- Nuclear bomb self destruction
- Auto eject
- The default unguided missile 6 or 8 pack shot (whatever it's called)
When a Pilot, I go against the grain lone wolf style. I take a sharp left or right and head for high escalations. I'll equip Cloak when I get to a vantage point and skim for enemies. I look out for enemies running and jumping all over because these are human gamers. AI typically move in packs on the ground. They also have bad aim, so the chances of getting killed by one is slim.
Unlike CoD, where I holed up in buildings, don't bother. If anything, try to aim for high vantage points whose rooftops also have big metallic structures for cover.
I focus on killing the human pilot if in range as opposed to AI grunts.
I use the perimeter of the map and try to rack up kills as much as possible before moving to another location. Unlike CoD, you can't camp a spot forever. Be on the look out for easy AI kills when their drop ship lands and 3-4 AI come storming out. Easy pickings.
For Titans, I don't have a strategy for activation. I just activate it asap. Again, I use the perimeter route and try to flank other Titans. Auto-eject makes it easier when critically damaged. Make sure to Disembark when a rodeoer is shooting your mech's head. Kill him and go back in if possible.
My style of Titan warfare is blitz. Flanking or head on I shoot my volley of 6-8 pack missiles, sometimes use the shield thing (I forget half the time), chaingun as much as possible. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, side dash to avoid shield reflected bullets when I see him doing that glowing hand thing. I also like to dash twice fast at at Titan and punch it as much as possible. It does good damage. Make sure to dash away when the enemy Titan is glowing white as that means it's going to self destruct.
When I am not in a Titan, but trying to help take one down, I cloak and try to release 2-3 anti-Titan lock on missiles. They do a decent amount of damage. Not enough to kill them outright, but if an enemy Titan is near it's last legs, a missile can finish the job.
The game is all about Titan control. I typically get 2-4 Titan kills a game.
