It was definitely odd it was multiplayer only, but the 'campaign lobbies' in titanfall were actually kind of a cool gimmick. Picking a faction and playing against people who chose the other, fighting for your story progression created extra rivalry.

[@TheCouch-Co-Op]

I thought it was underappreciated in a way. And the dialogue was pretty solid for what it was.

[@chowrites6179]

I personally didn't care for it in 1 but I think it had to more to do with repeating dialogue for beginning and ending of missions and this being the only mode to really engage with. If 2 had done as a sort of continuation to the campaign, like a "Campaign +" kind of thing, I feel that it wouldve been adored.

I think the reason people keep saying "gaming is dead" every other year is because of situations like this, where a franchise that basically raised a generation of budding gamers dies and the emotional weight of the death feels as heavy as the entire industry of gaming itself.

[@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.

One of my all time fave FPS games. Titanfall 2 was a masterpiece

[@heek8964]

Man The worst part about the titanfall situation is nobody else has made any shooter remotely close to it in how it's movement is balanced. I just want a FPS game where proficiency with a mechanic like movement that is more important than shooting. Because the skills for FPS shooting are universal between all FPS games, and it's really fucking boring at this point. Every FPS game I've seen try to emphasize some other skillset STILL has shooting as the MOST important skill. If someone is better at clicking on a head than you are, you're going to lose, regardless of how well you've planned, or used your abilities, or budgeted, or done whatever extra mechanics they've placed on top of this one primary, nearly identical mechanic all these games place above everything else in their balance. But in titanfall if you're significantly better at movement and prediction and engagement than your opponent then the difference between your shooting skills almost doesn't matter in most fights, and I haven't found any other FPS games that have any mechanic or balancing like that, which really sucks.

Another problem with Titanfall 1 and 2 multiplayer was that there wasn't much competition. If you wanted to win, you just killed all the noobs and ignored the better players. If you called in a Titan, you went for the easy kills, and evaded the other Titans most of the time.

[@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.

[@coreythebludragon1986]

Titanfall is the shooter we need, not just another battleroyale shooter where characters with special abilities fight it out in an arena littered with loot. Cod is just the same game again and again.

Titans kinda play like an overwatch character, a larger than life friend with abilities and slower movement, and the short transition time between swapping those conditions keeps the loop fresh and fun Titans more so focus around strategy and aim, versus the pilot reaction time and movement, then keeping both gameplay modes in the same match where both a titan is a real threat to a pilot, but a pilot Is severe threat to a titan.

In all honesty. Titanfall could have easily been the new battlefield or planetside game. EA could have kept Battlefield as good old Battlefield for the OG battlefield fans and used the Titanfall franchise as their BF:2042/2142 canvas, that way the whole futuristic scifi vibe of 2042/2142 wouldnt seem as completely out of place or weird as it did and players got more choice based on their personal preferences. OG BF fans got their OG BF franchise and futuristic shooter fans got their Titanfall and i'm 1000% sure OG BF fans would have been all over both games and would love the hell out of both of them. Im sure a lot of BF fans loved Titanfall but as usual, in typical EA fashion. They fumbled the bag so badly with Titanfall. It could have been so much more than what it ended up being.

But when more and more expansions for Apex kept coming out, I realized there was a huge possibility that Respawn might be done with that side of the universe. It's a shame.

From the active choice to release it at the worse time possible, to trading it for a new golden goose, to the radio silence after the DDOSing, and finally attempting various games in the Titanfall Universe and eventually canning all of them... It's always been Respawn's fault.

So sorry this might sound rude but when you said something about leaving someone on read you were using the present tense which you were saying “reed” but it’s “red”

I'm sad to see we'll never get a Titanfall 3, many are as all would know. Edit: By the way there is a Titanfall VR coming, it's called Wavefront. Check it out!

[@TheCouch-Co-Op]

Now that is intriguing...

[@jeshuat8334]

Oh how I miss this game. I got my R9290X just for this game.

[@lukaskolind7396]

At this point i dont even want a titan fall 3, since ea and apex have shown what ea will do with with the multiplayer, and ow2, and pay day 2 has made me even more fearful of it.

Great video. I'm still a daily TF2 player and man, it hurts where it's at. Player counts were still decently high and games plentiful until the attacks. 2 years of not being able to play the game was pretty shitty, so I feel like I had to settle for Apex. Played since S2 and got bored around S16. The BR format just felt monotonous in a way. I liked it, but it just wasn't Titanfall. Being hit with no fixes and pretty much silence just made the player base feel betrayed and then mostly everyone just moved on. The creation of the Northstar client was awesome and great to see such community drive to keep playing something we were all passionate about. Player counts seem to be creeping back a little, but it will never be the same again. Protocol 3.

I'm late to the game. I played Titanfall 2 and finished it in 2 days. The powertrip it gives is insane, incredible game

[@mango-dt2pv]

If titanfall 3 ever rolls around I hope they give the titans more weight and power in their movement. TF2 rocks but the mechs feel light and floaty both observing and piloting them

[@TheCouch-Co-Op]

Fair point.

[@SSJKDotsSanctum]

I remember the day Titanfall dropped and getting it on Xbox One those were soem good days.

[@DarkHorseSki]

I always HATED the wall running feature of Titanfall. Even stupider is not starting in a titan by default.

[@abumy4]

Apex wasn't really released without marketing, there was a whole debacle with streamers doing the marketing basically, without disclosures

[@dblshotz75]

Id like to see TF as a live action film or series.

[@TheCouch-Co-Op]

would be fun

[@derpythelegend]

They questions is still unanswered

[@antonsalvador]

I only played Titanfall 2 in 2021 and BY FAR it's the best game (mechanically and story-wise) I've played ever.

[@TheCouch-Co-Op]

One of the best to ever do it.

[@kamel9715]

I remember 2021 to 2022, titanfall 2 on xbox was actually unplayable and literally not a single online match was played. Thank god for private matches, which single handedly kept the game alive and the only places hackers could rarely touch

[@purplex_purple7717]

It’s playable on PlayStation 5 now

[@gaidenruben]

Titanfall 2 released around when Attack on Titan anime released. Hype

[@Zombieplayz]

when i read the Title i was like: wait! again?
