Titanfall DELUXE EDITION (PC/XB1/360)

[Misterjingles]

Smart pistol, stim pack, and arc grenades are fun to use. Someone get the jump? Stim pack and throw an arc grenade on the floor, parkour around and then execute.

Hand to hand titan battles where you win yank the pilot out of the cockpit, crush his spine and throw him against a wall are worth 60 bucks.

it looks like the different titans have different executions, I saw a gif of what looked like an Ogre ripping the other titan's arm off and smacking him with it

Finally Had a chance to play a little, lot of fun and a quick in and out type of game. I played for a couple 10 minute sessions and one hour long one and it really is entertaining. I feel like it's a great game to just jump in for a couple of minutes if you don't have a ton of time. It's just so fast paced and the respawns were so quick, makes me feel like I'm playing soldier of Fortune again.

no coil tonight. so ima get to jump into this for a good bit. Got to play 3 games yesterday. Something new I've never encountered that i enjoyed. The evac at the end of the attrition rounds? that was fun scrambling to get to the extraction. I can't fly around successfully yet was constantly fumbling into walls and missing ledges. (was only 3 games). Blasting people felt satisfying tho, this game will have a good foot hold in the fps market for those that got bored of CoD rehashes if they bring the maps correctly.

and... ima just call it now if it hasn't allready been pointed out. Will this game have skins/mechs you can buy after retail? or no... cuz it seems like its gonna

ea is definitely pushing DLC, there's been no word of what it entails, although I believe they said no microtransactions, so more than likely looking at map packs, or if we're luck something more like BF with maps, new weapons, new gear, although obviously that causes issues with split community, and I'd be fine with cosmetic shit out the ass if it meant maps etc were free updates

ok so regarding the 'campaign multiplayer'

"Respawn’s senior map designer Mohammad Alavi talked to X-ONE about the vision behind making Titanfall a Campaign Multiplayer based game. If you aren’t into that, you can play classic MP modes right from Day 1.

How are you approaching incorporating narrative into multiplayer? Is that how you’re viewing it as a team, or has it been more of a non-traditional approach?

We’re telling a story through a first person perspective in ways that are both traditional to single player campaigns and very new for multiplayer… at least for first-person shooters. Without going into too much boring detail about client/server logistics, asynchronous scripting, and other buzzwords, I can tell you that from the end user experience it feels both familiar and groundbreaking at the same time.

Each multiplayer level has an objective that is presented in a cinematic way with twists and turns that occur as you play. From picture-in-picture updates from NPCs, events that unfold in-game, to the AI soldiers reacting on the ground, the narrative unfolds naturally and ties in seamlessly with the gameplay. Along with the main story arc, major and minor characters react and acknowledge your direct actions, creating a personal experience crafted just for you set in a larger framework. In multiplayer lobbies we continue the narrative to help bridge the gaps between levels. You’ll be changing your loadouts and viewing unlocks while listening to mission briefings that drive the plot along.

In terms of XP gaining, no matter which mode you decide to play, you’ll earn XP and rank up in the game.

How have you added a sense of story-led progression? Will multiplayer progression – in terms of levels/XP – be tied to narrative advancement?

So we’ve only really spoken about one way to play Titanfall. That’s Campaign Multiplayer. You can join a lobby by yourself or with a party, but here’s where it gets different. You and your party or enlisted into a faction, either IMC or Militia. You’ll play the campaign and progress through the narrative hitting the missions in order until you’ve beaten the game on that faction. You’ll then have the option to play through again from the beginning on the other faction. Once you’ve beaten the game from both sides, you’ll be able to play any mission on either faction you like. There are traditional modes as well that you’d expect from a multiplayer FPS game and you can start playing those from the first time you run the game. No matter what you play, you earn XP and progress.

And finally, he also confirmed that Titanfall has a definite ending to it.

Titanfall will most definitely have an ending. It’s not a story if it doesn’t have an ending, but there are multiple sides to that story. It’s told from both the Militia and IMC perspectives, and to fully grasp Titanfall’s campaign, you’ll need to play it from both sides. And as with any good story, we’ve hopefully peppered it with enough detail and nuance that you’ll notice something new every time you replay it."

and updated list of modes:

Here is a more concise list of the Titanfall Gametypes.

TEAM_DEATHMATCH
CAPTURE_THE_TITAN
CAPTURE_THE_FLAG
CAPTURE_POINT (Hardpoint)
ATTRITION
UPLINK
LAST_TITAN_STANDING
EXFILTRATION
ELIMINATION
ATDM

IGN got the art of titanfall book early, seems to have some details about stuff that hasn't been revealed, and some (spoilery?) lore/campaign stuff [link deleted]

from MP1st

When asked if the game would sport any Pilot-only game modes, members of the studio exclaimed, ”nope,” and that “it’s called Titanfall”, presumably implying that the game was solely built around the concept of Titans and Pilots, not one or the other. They also added that there will be “no hardcore mode” in the game. It sounded like another studio member added, “yet,” but we’re not entirely clear on that one.

Once again, the studio confirmed that no micro-transactions will be a part of the game, “not even really small ones.”

I got that Ghost one once, was kinda cool but cloak is only good for getting to/away from Titans, the perma Stim one would be sweet though. Echo Vision is terrible, your vision is all goofy and annoying imo.

[Salodin]

I wish they didn't turn off the beta so early =( i got just over an hour in...

[Misterjingles]

it looks like the different titans have different executions, I saw a gif of what looked like an Ogre ripping the other titan's arm off and smacking him with it

Stryder's execution move is brutal

[Qalbert]

it's funny because when I first executed someone I said "man I wish you just crushed them in your hand"

[Qalbert]

oh wow you can take out the dropship with a titanfall

[djzombie]

yeah i had plenty of games where most of our team had titans at the end and we blew up the drop ship before it could take off

[Qalbert]

yeah I knew you could destroy it, just never thought to call a titan in on top of it

[djzombie]

oh shit guess i misunderstood, didn't realize you could do that

[Qalbert]

so dude did more digging in the files and found

Take me to generation [next level].

Warning! You will lose all that you have unlocked and be reset to level 1. All challenges will be reset.

Years of battle have taken their toll. We can regenerate you... at a cost.
Your body can be restored. But your memory and your experience...all will be lost.
When you awaken you will respawn a [next level] generation Pilot.
You will be better, sharper, acquiring experience even faster than before.

Are you sure?
I'm sure

Are you really sure?
Yes positive!

Would you like to go to the next gen?
Take me to next gen!

and the highest level something unlocked at was 49, so the assumption is 50 levels, ten regenerations, pretty standard prestige system. i do like the sound of the increased experience gain though.
