[@alexmo9299]

Worried about the direction of the battlefield franchise tbh with the latest news. But with Vince being the new head of it I could totally see a sort of fusion of both series. Battlefields large combined arms maps with elements of Titanfall. The real issue being the map design allowing for that tight and fluid movement Titanfall is known for.

[@valkeitos]

I actually have to disagree when it comes to most maps. Some maps are perfectly sized or slightly too large because in the end, you're going to be on your feet the majority of the time and not in a Titan. Then maps are still plenty large enough for titans to move around and battle although there are more restrictive maps that will benefit some titans like scorch a lot more.

[@Triannosaurus]

I consider myself a titanfall 1 and 2 vet, and although I absolutely love the mechanics, the gamemodes were the downfall of this game. They had a great concept of contrasting fast paced pilot gameplay, with slow paced titan gameplay but they failed create a decent way to mix the two by forcing them into known call of duty game modes. Titanfall needs its own flagship game mode for people to fully embrace the game, almost like how the payload game mode represents tf2/Overwatch and their identity.

I already stopped playing CoD after MW3, and BO2 made changes I didn't like. I don't recognize the online FPS anymore. It's just junk. I still play games, using a controller and keeping it to single-player only so I can play and pause to avoid the pain to come.

I cannot express my love enough for Titanfall. To me it is pretty much a masterpiece. I love the gameplay shifts from fast paced, rapid movements and gunfights as Pilots to the slower, more methodical and powerful Titans, and the power and impact both roles have in game. Its truly something special. I love the customisation for the gameplay styles like the pilot and titan kits, letting you tweak how you go about playing, or the abilities for each role, and what they all bring… Some say they dont want Titanfall 3, that it wouldnt beat 2 and it would be different with the people who make up respawn now. But it doesnt have to beat 2. I just want a new game, and a chance for this game to thrive off of the growth that apex legends gave this IP. Because i truly believe Titanfall is a much more fun, and intricate game compared to apex… Respawn tried to suck the movement out of apex… Titanfall fully embraces it.

If a niche, topdown shooter exclusive to the PS3 and Steam, made by a small development team from Sweden, can absolutely blow the entire gaming industry out of the water with a sequel, Titanfall 3, whenever it releases, will be destined for success. Hardly anyone knew about Helldivers before the sequel came out. The game was a faint memory of a fun experience from the PS3 web store for me. But one good release trailer showcasing gameplay footage later, and it's now the Game of the Year and by a country mile. Even after all the scandals (thanks, Sony), it's still going strong. Imagine how great of a comeback Titanfall 3 will be. Just get a proper trailer together, showcase the gameplay and you've got a recipe for success.

[@AlastairMonis]

It truly is a tragedy that titanfall had passed, the bad release dates by ea and the release of apex (I’m still convinced that ea forced respawn to make a battle royale) really did ruin the game. The bigger tragedy is the fact that respawn is still gutting the decaying corpse of titanfall to get content for apex. Causing massive continuity issues and overall baiting the titanfall community for what is essentially a macaroni sculpture of the statue of David. Clunky movement mechanics, unintelligible action feedback (getting hits and downs or kills or whatever) and characters that mostly lack the charm, grit and overall determination of those of previous games. Gunplay is good if not limited by the clunky animations. I wish respawn never made apex as its own game.

Honestly the finals is pretty close minus wall running and the titans in regards to gameplay

[@GalacticYuna]

Titanfall 2 was just an amazing game from a like casual just fun loving perspective. Something was there for everyonen! I just wish we got something with that comprehensive a movement system today.

[@TheCouch-Co-Op]

We were on the verge of greatness. We were this close.

[@SIedgeHammer83]

FYI lots of people are also dissatisfied with the smart pistol, it's a broken weapon that made me and many others to lose interest in Titanfall as a whole.

[@aoooso6000]

alright i know its petty to focus on one littile part of the video, but cod advanced warfare movement wasnt a jetpack it was dashes and double jumps idw why people call it clanky wen its not.

[@TheCouch-Co-Op]

Was the double jump not executed with a jetpack

[@aoooso6000]

@@TheCouch-Co-Op lore wise yes, but its not really a "jet pack movement" gameplay wise its just a double jump. cod bo3 now that a jet pack

Fair point

EA did not fail tiranfal, the community did.

[@MeisterSchwabbo]

How? The community still plays the game, EA stopped support, the servers were broken for months,because of hackers, it took EA way too long to fix the servers, EA STOPPED THE SUPPORT BECAUSE OF THE SHIZ THAT IS APEX! the community always wanted and still wants new updates with new content because Titanfall 2 IS movement shooter perfection... the community didn't fail Titanfall, EA did, you delusional fella...

The team that made TF|2 is gone. Apex baiting TF|3 has been the most annoying, infuriating, disrespectful experiences I've ever had. Such a beloved IP completely ignored. It's my favorite game and will always remain that way, and I'm so proud of the community taking care of itself and keeping it alive, although I don't trust that Respawn has our interests in mind with honest intentions when it can just cash out on Apex, their golden goose. Fellow pilots, I commend you all for how amazing you are. Standby for Titanfall ❤

[@TheCouch-Co-Op]

Baiting TF 3 gotta be one of the rudest moves in the history of the industry.

I mean corporations happened, once you make a deals with the devil, say goodbye to creativity, or even fun

uh-huh

[@tank_dempsey]

It wasn’t even EA (apart from the obvious fact they made them drop between 2 massive games) , I mean they were kind of involved but they bought respawn specifically for TF3 and respawn said “no lmao, we started it but now it’s a br”

[@usereh7188]

I know everyone wants to blame Titanfall's death on EA but it was also Respawn's decision to make apex instead of Titanfall 3. It was also respawn's decision to release in the fall but they made this decision before EA decided BF1's release date, so the argument can still be made EA had a hand in TF2 release date issues.

man i cannot escape war thunder, i got 4,000 hours on that game and the first non war thunder related video i watch is sponsored by them lmaooo

[@darp4602]

This made me sad...

[@TheCouch-Co-Op]

there there *pat*

[@Rocknoob49]

Shoulda brought up the Northstar Client, community servers and mods, matchmaking etc

[@derechtem0mo]

I could write an whole essay about how good titanfall 2 was and still is to this day. Im very sad the game died. I played the shit out of it and even when i hopped on for a final round in 2023 i had such a good time again its just sad. I hate Apex Legends, too goofy and full of EA sellout bs. I know Titanfall 2 was EA too but they did it so different with titanfall2. It is a masterpiece.

Bro, you might wanna change that C and font, looks like og LevelCaps logo without the L and all.

I'll never understand sandwiching TF2 between cod and BF when the game launched
