I think the Titanfall beta is disappointing...

Here are my thoughts on the Titanfall beta, feel free to discuss: If there is one thing certain, it's that the AI are [i]way[/i] too easy to kill. They don't provide any sort of challenge. I get the whole thing, that they are supposed to make good players feel awesome. But when it's too easy it takes me out of the badass feeling and make me want to fight against real players. Oh wait, it's only 6v6. The pilot vs. pilot reminds me of CoD, which makes sense because this is made by the original IW. The only difference here is the parkour, which is cool but does get stale. Titan vs Titan is enjoyable but repetitive, shoot a couple of bullets, use shield, send rockets, wait for recharge and repeat. The fact that there is only 2 maps and 3 gamemodes make it stale, at least for me. After 2 hours of play, I was getting bored because I already found my favorite class. Now the game just feels way too dam easy with me being on top of the team every single match. But, this is just my opinion. I do wish there was something else to spice up the gameplay, instead of CoD with parkour, then mechs which everbody uses the same stuff then get to the dropship. I could go on, but I won't. While the new game feel is nice, it wears off quickly. Maybe the full game will be [i]way[/i] better, but only time can tell. Plus I was in one match and all the enemy team was doing was camping with snipers, camo and the default AR. Extremely annoying. Plus it's multiplayer only for $60. Plus DLC 45 days after launch. I wish there was a new game mode that set it apart from it's competitors, but we get Team Deathmatch Search & Destroy (with Titans!) and Domination. 2 maps that I have already seen so it got boring quicker than expected. The smart pistol could also be OP with camping and camo but we shall see. I already went further than I wanted to but there you go. No TL;DR for right now, may edit one in later.

  • Question. Would you feel that a game that only offers single player for $60 is overpriced?

    • I see a lot of people saying "It's a Beta." The game's coming out on the 11th. That's a bit over two weeks. Nothing concrete with the game is going to change at this point. You're just testing the netcode, other bugs, and being used to build hype. Maybe there will be a bit of weapon balance tweaks, but that will all be a Day One Patch. TitanFall is practically done right now. You are playing a game that is 99.9% complete. We aren't in a long open beta cycle like F2P games like MechWarrior Online had, where significant balance changes, bug fixes, and feature introductions are taking place over several months.

      • The beta testing is to try to improve the game bro if they released a well waited game it would just be terrible thats what betas are for testing and fixing new things

      • 1.its a demo, what other demo has been such good value? 2.its not "only" multiplayer, there will be a lengthly campaign mode 3.bots are easy deliberately, even if you are a terrible player you can still grab a few kills 4.even losing is amazing, even tho the core gameplay gets a [i]little[/i] repetitive that mad dash to evacuate is truly special, the only time a game gives me a rush of adrenaline like that is when I'm scoring sweaty goals on FIFA. 5.its got to be better than CoD

      • It might as well be called a Demo. It is a sampling of the game. It caps you at level 14, gives you a limited number of abilities, weapons, maps, etc... and you find it boring. That's cool bro. I felt the repetition a little too but I also spammed the game for days and started having fresh ideas. I started practicing wall running. I tried stringing together as many walls as I could to reach areas and objectives quickly. I decided what buildings and areas I wanted conquer after the initial start of the game. How to fight an Ogre as an Atlas! Team tactics and call outs. Experimenting with burn cards. Heck I even made a friend on X1 playing the Beta. I can see how things get stale playing a Demo repetitively. But I find myself taking its unique qualities and discovering new ways of enjoying it. Can't wait for the full release!

        • Why do people say "Beta"? The game is a month away. There won't be any major changes. And the last month of a game is usually time for the developers to be printing copies.

          • Played for an hour or two at a friend's place and I agree. It has some great moments, but between those moments it's nothing special. Once you get into the swing of it, it gets too repetitive. Not feeling like its worth +$60.

              • One thing I noticed was that Pilot gameplay feels exactly like CoD if you play the game exactly like CoD. I spent a couple lives scampering around on the ground and taking the stairs for funsies, and it felt completely unnatural. After learning how to move around the maps with the parkour mechanics, I felt like a jackass-- and a vulnerable one. I never bought the Titanfall hype, but after playing the beta, I am going to buy the game. The parkour stuff alone sold me on the game.

                    • The grunts aren't there to make good players feel awesome, they're there to make bad players feel good especially if they keep getting trashed by pilots. That way they can still get kills and progress and not have a crappy time

                    • 1. You must not have any friends to make the FPS experience of TitanFall fun. 2. Every multiplayer game is repetitive.. 3. It's a Beta, so yeah only two maps..duh. 4. While I respect your opinion, it's flawed on so many obvious levels. If ya don't like it don't buy it. Game over.

                      • The beta is decent, but I feel that the game is going to be become boring fairly quickly. I can't see me enjoying Titanfall for more than a month without getting bored. The bots don't pose any sort of challenge and half the time when I'm playing I don't "try" to kill anything because 90% of the time I'm either killing bots or fighting Titans. I really don't get the hype. At this point I'm just going to assume that anyone fully defending Titanfall are either CoD kids, kids in general, or Xbox fanboys that want to make Playstation fanboys think they have an amazing exclusive. The parkour is ok but it certainly isn't going to take much time to learn all the good jumps. Either way, I think I'm going to switch my pre-order from Titanfall to something else. Maybe PvZ:GW.....

                      • I'm guessing I'm going to get yelled at by some folks on here. But I was honestly hoping for a game style more like the game brink where you have the story plot a bit more worked into the gameplay besides the rather generic game modes of hold this point or just kill x amount of people. Something like having escort missions or bomb planting all in the same map, things to keep the game fresh so we/I don't get stale with the same ol' game modes. Granted I do know that all we've played is the beta and there will be more maps, weapons, titans ect. But I can't help but be nervous about that the beta is so close to release and there is no hint of story in it. Side note: I do wish the ai bots were just a bit smarter, I'm not asking for a god mode I understand that it is a way to have the less skilled players like myself be able to still play and have fun and even contribute to helping our teams win. But I should not be able to fight 8 ai bots, kill them all and not even get hit.

                        • The thing that irks me the most is the Grunt/Grunt executions. They pause the bloody thing until a pilot gets near enough and then it starts, really shatters my immersion.

                          It actually has three maps... The smart pistol is less than OP, it actually sucks. Everybody uses the same guns? Huh, that's odd. (There's only 3 guns) Camo is really really easy to spot. PS, if they're camping, you don't have to kill them.

                        • I do agree with the ai's being easy but have you ever played cod with bots on hardened or veteran? They always no where you are and shoot you through walls, i think i prefer the easy titanfall ai's and the two maps do get repetitive, just try different fighting strategies or guns or take different routes i personally enjoy the beta alot.

                            • And we all witness the mass amount of Titanfall fanboys.... It doesn't take a beta to realize Titanfall is a mediocre game.

                            • Was titanfall already confirmed for $60? Fighting games with little to no campaign mode easily sell for $40, so Titanfall could go cheaper than $60 if it hasn't
