Going through some of my old videos and had a lot of happy memories. Hopefully Titanfall 3 happens, and stays true to the freedom of the first game.

Man TF1 hubs had this weight to then that TF2 and apex just don't have. Aside from the movement and overall look I don't know what changed so much at resplendent between the games
User Banned (1 Day): Thread whining, history of similar behavior.
Yeah, there's a thread on Era every 2 fucking weeks about it.
Amazing game. I liked 2, came to love it but TF1 was special. The maps were better and I thought the setting came through more. The frontier/western vibe in the score and the actual maps etc. Rodeoing titans was also better along with actual titan combat. Things were weighty. To put it another way TF felt like you were playing with action figures where as TF2 felt more like legos or minatures. All the best Tf2 maps were Tf1 remakes lol
Also, TITAN os customization! I missed it! I had jp voices in my stider and german os voices in my ogres ='(

I remember, Dead Rising 3 and Titanfall were the fun games I had on the Xbone.
It was a view of what the future of FPS could be, and I loved every minute of it.

Yeah. It's a bummer.
Titanfall 2 improves a lot but slowed down the core gameplay way too much.
Fuck yes. Amazing game.
And despite hating and talking a lot of shit about the beta (which I regret) Titanfall 2 as the best multiplayer in gaming.
The campaign while also great, was bested by Infinite Warfare IMHO.

It is bummer that 2 was such a step backwards especially in map design.
You mean the game people dropped fast? Such a shame. Game is amazing and bought it on X1 and PC. Really enjoyed PVP and that bank mode. But those modes died fast. On console and PC.
It's the best multiplayer shooter of the generation. It was a year or so early to take advantage of the long term support model that has benefitted rainbow six, overwatch, and halo 5 so much. Such a tragedy they went straight to a sequel and fucked it all up.
I wish I liked TF2 a lot more than I did
TF1 was so much better
I've honestly been considering picking up an XB1 recently, anyone know what TF1 player counts look like on there, that site that used to tell you TF player counts has gone down and redirects to spam (I played it on XB1 at a friend's place a lot, along with 360 and PC, never owned an XB1)

It was amazing. Sucks that EA forced them to follow the BR trend in a genre which is dominated by Fortnite and PUBG
I played TF1 multiplayer a considerable amount back on the 360, really enjoyed it a lot, never touched the mo fir TF2 though, but I did enjoy the campaign.
When I look back at this generation and all the great games I've played, I don't think anything has topped the excitement of Titanfall 1.
I always had a hard time visually picking out pilots from the flood.
If pilots were a bit more distinct, I might have loved it.

How can I forget?
The first match I had was on the beta at the start of the gen, the first minutes were a well polished deathmatch with parkour, it was nice, but not "special"... Till we were able to call the titans.
Then I saw a bunch of mechs falling from the sky to the match, quite the view. One of them was mine, once I got inside of it I felt like finally we are having a game that felt next gen.
Then the next gen fully came, and it proved my wrong, TF was left on the behind by CoD and BF, so the FPS pvp field remained pretty much the same.

both are great, and I'm hoping for a 3rd.
it's still strange to me how neither managed to catch on. was it the titans themselves thar turned so many people off? or the bots? or maybe it was both.

It's my favorite game series of the gen.
After the price drop to $5, Titanfall 1's community grew REAL QUICK and the game's true colors were unlocked. It'll always be my first "online FPS addiction".
Titanfall 2 then came, improved on almost everything, gave us a hell of a story mode, better mobility, and a GREAT SLIDE CAUSE THAT SHIT MATTERS.
10/10 both games literally cannot be beaten

I feel like a lot of the wider audience really disliked the titans. The movement was awesome fun, but then everyone jumps into a titan and its a much more limited game of rock paper scissors. I had more fun with titans when i was killing pilots but didnt like fighting other titans vs titans
did titans fight pilots automatically? I cant remember.

Both were great, and TF2's campaign was stellar. I know people like the first multiplayer better, but I think 2 is the overall better package. The map design may be more lane-y but it was an overall tighter and more balanced experience to me. Greater number of viable weapons too.
I know Apex Legends is infinitely more popular, but I vastly prefer arena-style shooters over battle royale. Plus wall running.
With that said, I think both Titanfalls also have fundamental flaws that prevented the series from properly taking off. While the launch window of 2 was certainly an ingredient toward the lack of ignition, systems surrounding the game were pretty lackluster. Not enough mods/weapons/unlocks for its genre, but more importantly no skill-based ranking system. I'll be honest that I'm much more of a Halo kind of dude than I am a COD dude, and I think Tfall would have done well to take more pages from the Halo playbook. The crazy number of COD clones that existed around TFall's releases did little help in making the game really stand out on its own. To be more direct: They nailed the gameplay feel, but a lot of other aspects came up short. I remember that they actually lowered the TTK in an early patch of TF2, and I think that was a pretty big mistake. Shortening TTK often takes away the range of firefight dynamics; yes, the extreme maneuverability maintains dynamic tactics, but the short TTK removes aspects of accuracy over time and therefore persistence/decision making. The decision making ends up coming in the preparation and positioning for the firefight rather than the battle itself. I know people disagree with me there, but that's at least where it dropped off for me.

Recently beat Titanfall 2's campaign and it was pretty good. Short and good fun. Interesting concepts in there.
Those threads are about Titanfall 2, which is a great game, but with a lacking multiplayer component compared to its predecessor.
I bought my Xbox One specifically for og TitanFall . No ragrats. 😎
The MP was so much better than TF2, too. ⚔

I'm not sure if I want to remember, because doing so reminds that the franchise - one of the greatest this gen and one of the greatest FPSes ever - is all but dead, what arose from its ashes was hitched to the IP but beared no meaningful resemblance to it, and Respawn was purchased by the ever-shitty EA.
A tragedy.
