“I will NOT lose another pilot” made me tear up during the campaign

[@benji38]

I love how agile all of the Titans feel, especially the Vanguards. Titans doing a jump-kick aren't things you'd initially think they could do- but those machines are surprisingly agile and powerful, at least in all of the executions and scripted moments... I love how you brought that to life and made it actually part of how they fight, beyond what we see them just do as gameplay. And the Vanguards, they're just turned up to eleven. Sliding out of cover, jump-kicking a Titan, leaping as high as another Titan is tall to get to a flying Northstar... Fucking love it.

[@ryz_vik]

A bit too agile on the jumping action, but other fastness is actually spot-on, like sprinting or punching, it really gets you to feel how dangerous these titans actually are, same goes to the pilots themselves.

[@benji38]

@@ryz_vik Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the Pilots. As for the Titans, the jumping doesn't seem that bad to me. I think the most important scripted instance that comes to mind is actually from Titanfall 1's 'campaign', specifically the Made Men mission. If you search for a video of the Militia's intro to that mission, it shows a Titan climbing up and leaping off the side of a building and onto a dropship, disabling it by ripping out the dropship pilot. There's also Tone's default execution too that shows Tone leaping that high. Those are just a few examples though. I do admit though that it does seem unrealistic how high they jump, but it's not like such movement hasn't been seen before at all.

[@Troop3r666]

​@@ryz_vik Or this is just what a Pilot and Titan look like when they're over 90% combat effectiveness.

This animation was a joy to watch the first time and the twenty first time Your usage of in game voice lines, and soundtrack made this feel like an official animation, and in conjunction with your superb animation, made this a visual treat to behold, which rivals, if not outright surpasses the source material The weight behind Jack and his movements where incredible, as where the movements of both militia and IMC titans (the ions death was awesome!) and each factions personnel, resulting in (when accompanied by the vast number of subtle touches (like the grunts checking corners and weapons')) a world and characters that feel real! This is without even mentioning the ludicrous attention to detail that has been sprinkled throughout the animation, like the grunts assembling into squads like they do in game or the jump kit flaring up as Jack moves The IMC starting off by thrashing the Militia was also very smart, as not only does it further show how competent Cooper and BT are, but also how the Titan wars was such an uphill battle for the Militia There are also various sections dotted thorough the animation that parallel scenes and executions from Titan fall that where always fun to spot, and made the animation have a great deal of re-watch value (like Latomosa's intro cutscene being paralleled by Jacks intro in this, the Ions plasma rifle simply dispersing across the Atlas's vortex shield (like it does in game), the end of the animation (the Militias arrival) being similar to the start of "Trial by fire" from TF2, BT referencing Ronin's execution and Vipers death scene, or the Ogre referencing Tones execution, ETC) (The inclusion of TF1 assets was also a wonderful touch) Jacks fighting style was an incredible blend of both Anderson and Lastamosa, with hints of TF2 executions thrown in for good measure, making him nothing short of a treat to watch as he utilizes every possible part of his arsenal (ranging from data knives to RE-45's!) as he seamlessly changes between running (on both the ground and the walls) and (spectacularly animated) long and close range combat (and lets not forget the famous jump kit) The insane agility of BT and the vanguards and Strider class titans (I'm not even gonna start on Cooper, because we'll be here all week if I do) was a grand ol' touch (because if your telling me "Papa scorch" can jump (in his execution in game), what's stopping the lighter and more advanced titans (respectively) from doing the same?) (that being said if I have one complaint it is that the titans jets don't spark when they zip about, as it would have helped justify their hyper mobility (but that's just being very nitpicky on my behalf, and by no means takes away from the animation)) I can only imagine how much effort was put into this, and for that alone I applaud you However, on top of that, you have produced an incredible Animation that rivals that of massive game companies, with a fun little story to boot Good on ya!

As I said, in my opinion, both parties are to blame. I say the 'Fans' were more at fault for backstabbing, its unacceptable. But I also see GWs action as the start of it all. Was the result unintentional? Yeah. But to me they hold a share of fault.

[@lokenothsg5298]

@@Dragonspirit223 Your definition of ghosting him is I think my issue here. Do you think they were aware he was getting any shit off anyone, or were even expecting him to get any? Because BOY OH BOY not a single person who was aware or even reporting on the issue (the ones pretending they cared that is) decided to even say a bad thing about the fans harassing him. Arch? Nope, Majorkill? Nope Valrak? Nope. The only person who even said "boy this was fucked up" was another animator who had declined GW's Offer. And did anyone listen to him? NO the same lot who pretended to care came up with conspiracies about GW that not a single bloody animator even the ones who rejected the offer could collaborate for them and when confronted on it they gave a god damn response that a tory back bencher would be proud of. Like honestly I don't get why you guys even need to come up with some ill conceived mitigating factor to alleviate part of the blame from a shitty fan base? You don't need to put any portion of the blame at GW's feet on this singular occasion. All blame needs to be directed at those shitheaded individuals who are so incapable of managing their baby rage for a company that they piss over anyone and everyone affiliated with them.

[@bruhmoment2095]

YES, SO GOOOD I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much speaking in one of your animations before, love it!

[@SaladSneky]

I like how the Titans are portrayed as heavy-hitting but also squishy at the same time.

I love how all Titans have some form of personality when fighting by themselves, such as BT

This nostalgia hit me hard, I miss titanfall, and the fact, that we do not have any idea for the 3rd part for 4 years is making me anxious if we ever will recieve any. I hate EA for what they have done to Titanfalls universe, cashing on Battle Royales with Apex Legends, I think we can bury any hope for Titanfall 3 in its past glory.

It was cool to see how badass a pilot is, I loved how you made it even more badass. The only thing that was weird was the BF4 characters.

Nice how the Resistance forces (who are practically broke) were all using a mix of Vanguard titans and the Atlas titans from the 1st game, while the (better funded) IMC were using the models from the 2nd game. I'm now subbing to you.

When he cracked open the enemy titans hatch and shot him I lost my shit! This was so good I'm sharing this everyone of my friends

[@witherwolf3316]

I love it. Everything about it. First off, you captured the movement so well. The way Cooper moves is exactly how I would expect a pilot, especially one on a stealth/recon/spec ops mission to act. The way the IMC set up choke points but he uses the environment to adapt? Top tier. The way the fights flowed was constantly amping up, I was not expecting Cooper to just pop the hatch and shoot the pilot himself, or the sniper, actually. You even went the extra mile to add different paint jobs to the reinforcement titans. Phenomenal. Edit: Oh my god. I just watched it again and Cooper fucking *flinches* when a rocket hits near him. That is how much effort was put into this.

[@landedit13hd44]

I LOVED THIS, this is what like to see when titans are portrayed and how powerful pilots are, and the skill of the cooper in those fights is perfect....is there gonna be a part 2....

bruh this is nuts I love how physical the impacts are on the Titans. In game I'm sorta used to them just eating rockets/punches and seeing a health bar go down; super cool to see the rockets, punches, and broadsword really connect and whack them around here. also badass seeing BT just run up to the Northstar and take him for a spin

[@sorenroeser9341]

this was absolutely amazing , it's such a breath of fresh air seeing such wonderful titanfall content and it demonstrates how dedicated its fans truly are

[@GadgetSteelmare]

I cannot stress enough how much I love this video. I've watched it multiple times, and I will always, _always_ love it. A Pilot and a Vanguard-class Titan work together like a well-oiled machine, and Cooper and BT are a perfect example of this.

[@heindrick_bazaar4446]

It's impressive how heavy you made the titans feel

[@andrewowens4421]

This is what happens when a fan makes a passion project. You get a good video like this. The fights felt believable and the movements of the mechas, while lumbering, were also rather slick. A good combination. All in all a solid representation of why people love Titanfall. The mech battling and the characters.

other than the titans feeling a little too fast, freaking phenominal fan film. I could just watch Cooper run and gun for hours, loved his running animation, hella solid.
