My main want is to be able to customise the appearance of titans even something simple like being able to change the colour would be a really good addition.

aconnellan4476d ago

I know they'll be bringing in the different chasis' for the Titans in the final game, but that would be a huge plus for customization, everyone would be somewhat unique.

I guess there's always within reason if they've got a particular look they're after or something)

I think customizing a titan would be cool. Different colors, emblems/badges, different parts, but maybe in Titanfall 2.

As for the article, not a bad list but majority are stupid. Repair tool? This isn't BF. You get 3-4 Titans per match, repair tool would just allow someone to stand there and repair while getting shot. Soldiers look different than bots? No, the point is to keep them looking similar. There is a burn card where you can look like a bot.

I do agree that the carbine is way over powered. No sense in using any other weapon. Titans should also take a little longer to get. I play Hardpoint so killing the bots doesnt add to your score or help you win. Just cuts like 5 seconds off your titan time, where a pilot kill is about 30 seconds.

TheFallenAngel4476d ago (Edited 4476d ago )

Bot, bots, bots bots and bots. Seriously I was playing while ago and everyone killed 3-4 times more bots than pilots. It takes no skills to be number one in the game. Bots will just stand there and in little groups for easy kills. Titans are overpowered and chaotic. I like how they stop the bullets in mid air but that's it. So far I'm disappointed but the game is fun. Its not a game that will make me buy an xbone or replace call of duty. I find ghost more enjoyable than titanfall and ghost is horrible. They need more team based objectives on this game because everyone runs everywhere.

LightofDarkness4476d ago

That wouldn't earn them very much Attrition Points. Titans count for 5 points, players for 4 and minions are 1 point each. So you have to kill 4 times as many minions as players if you want the same score, which isn't that efficient. Once players get better at killing players, those who farm minions will be left in the dust.

I know what you mean. I like what the AI was designed for, and it helps the immersion of the game, but if they were a bit more challenging I think that would make a difference. And you're right about people running everywhere, but this is just the beta, so I really hope they have objective based games in the final build

Aces174476d ago (Edited 4476d ago )

Bots are their for the map and war atmosphere. That is why there bullets don't do much damage and why they don't really go after players. How people can't tell whether they are killing a real player or a bot is crazy to me.

KingDadXVI4476d ago (Edited 4476d ago )

The AI are fine in my book but I would like to see an easier way to differentiate between AI and players from a distance. If you could tell them apart more easily we could spend more time focusing on the opposition players. You would still fight the AI because they are shooting at you but it would make it easier for people to rank up.

So far though I am really impressed. For an old engine the graphics look great, the gameplay is smooth and fast,

Another thought I had was that seeing how they don't have a campaign mode they could design more tutorials down the road. Maybe one for each map or make a basic, intermediate, and hard tutorial that helps you hone yours skills or even just an level just to parkor in for practice. Sometimes in MP, and not just in this game but any MP you want to practice a particular move or action but don't get the chance to because you are too busy trying to stay alive. Several larger maps with various difficulty levels would allow you to spend 15 - 20 minutes here and there perfecting techniques without being constantly killed.

Other than that the game is awesome. The last time I enjoyed online FPS MP this much was Halo 2/3.

TheFallenAngel4476d ago

The game runs really smooth but the graphics looks like something coming from a ps3 or 360.
I think call of duty is more fun.

MysticStrummer4476d ago

I like how the explanation for the bad AI is that the bots serve no purpose but atmosphere.

LightofDarkness4476d ago

I like how you cherry pick arguments and quote people out of context to make pseudo-points. Well done you.

MysticStrummer4476d ago

Cherry pick arguments? Out of context quotes? I'm pretty sure I did neither. I know I didn't quote anyone out of context because I didn't quote anyone. As for cherry picking, looking through the comments from people who actually like the game, that's just what a lot of them say and I find it amusing. The bad AI is apparently fine because it's not there to challenge the players.

DJStotty4476d ago

So if you have played the Beta i'm guessing you played on PC? So why would you need to buy an xbox one if your PC can run this game?

TheFallenAngel4476d ago

I played it on my brother's xbone.

DJStotty4475d ago

how come your bro opted for the more expensive underpowered product? just asking

frostypants4476d ago

So like the article says, they should just not award points for killing bots. Problem solved to an extent.

i'd love if they did drivatar (god what an awful word) style AI, would completely change the game and make it way more difficult to rack up the 250 in attrition

LightofDarkness4476d ago

Well, they can't. Minions can't wall jump/double jump or pilot titans, so they can't mimic player actions or learn from them. They're not meant to replace human players.

n4rc4476d ago

That doesn't make much sense..

They dont jump.. That doesn't mean they can't jump..

What respawn decides to do is up in the air.. But they can do whatever respawn makes them do.

Farmassy4476d ago

I don't think they need to make the bots any smarter. I would be pissed if I won a huge shootout against a pilot and then a bot took me out. However, I think they need to make them a little more distinguishable from the pilots. Maybe make them some weird color or something. I like that they are there but you need to be able to tell IMMEDIATELY if someone is a bot or a pilot.

the longer you play the easier it is to distinguish them but it should still be changed

Audiggity4476d ago

They just need to put them all in red shirts for a nice Star Trek inside joke.

SwiftArsonist4476d ago

Again, N4G posting only negative related articles about titanfall. this is getting out of hand, gamers allow this type of stealth marketing to happen.

aconnellan4476d ago

Not all negative my friend :)

I do know what you mean though, it seems that's what it is more often than not...

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad1349d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g1349d ago (Edited 1349d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

gurp749d ago

I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games

An ode to Titanfall: The last twitch shooter I'll probably ever enjoy

Windows Central: "Titanfall 1 is being sunset, taken off storefronts by EA. While the servers remain live for now, one has to wonder just how much time it has left. I look back and pay tribute to the last "twitch"-styled shooter I ever truly loved."
