I didn't, and that's what makes me excited about it. It isn't what you'd expect from a Titanfall battle royale game.
That doesn't mean it'll automatically be good or bad, but it makes me interested to see how they've changed things around to fit the style of gameplay they want us to see.
As others have said, it would be boring if we only ever got what we asked for. Besides, it's not like this is supposed to be a replacement for Titanfall 3 or something. That's likely still on the way.
It's just a shame they couldn't find a way to incorporate Titans in this somehow to make it more unique as a BR.
I think since its a hero based game (Classes with diff abilities).. one will have the grappling hook for sure.
Yes.
Characters have abilities/powers, some of which are tied to specific characters/classes.
I hope the optimization is on par with TF2. I have very old PC and TF2 has to be the best looking game I can run with very steady 60 fps.
As skeptical about this game as I am, I never get takes like this.
People don't know what they want until they are presented with it. I sure as hell didn't ask for the original Titanfall, but it and its sequel ended up being two of my favorite games from this generation.
So literally BLOPS4/Blackout
Pass
Respawn already trashing up their output. Can't help but feel maybe EA is to blame. This just seems like such an asinine decision.
Everybody was talking about how good TF1 and 2 feels, and you.. make a game that doesn't play like it.
Going from the beautiful madness of Titanfall 1 to the more "sand off the edges, good and bad" approach of the multiplayer in the second game to Apex seems like a real bummer of progression.
Titanfall 1 multiplayer was one of the best multiplayer games (if not the best) of the generation. Shame the series, apparently, is continuing to move away from it.
I want more of this.

No titans honestly makes my heart hurt. Titanfall 1 & 2 are some of my favorite games of all time, like in the top 3. Stripping away what makes them so special is just... man... this hurts.
Maybe they have a Super Bowl announcement, like that Cloverfield movie?
The taut combat and map design of the original Titanfall, and its synergy with the interplay of pilot and titan combat is still one of the best multiplayer designs ever made.
Games are totally going away from taut, with a focus on visual readability, multiplayer game designs and personally, I think it's a shame, but the money (time) talks, after all.
Hearing the words 'Free-to-play', 'battle royale', 'classes and abilities' are like the ultimate turnoffs for me but are like the core things that many multiplayer designs must incorporate in order to even have a remote chance of being relevant. Oh well, just have to go be an old man doing things that are more suited for my tastes at this point in my life.
Without wall running and titans, this just isn't the series I love. It's Respawn so of course I'll be playing but this is so damn disheartening.
I think Titanfall 1 is one of the most underrated multiplayer games ever. It was just severely hampered by the fact it was an Xbox One exclusive back when the Xbox One was still very new and not many people had it yet and also people were turned off when they read it had no single-player campaign focus. The multiplayer also didn't have as much customization and unlockables to obtain like a Call of Duty would have so more people got bored of it quicker, which I find ridiculous but it is what it is.
It is definitely heartbreaking, but not surprising. I remember sitting in college classes and talking about just how incredible Titanfall and its game design were, and people would just be like "There needs to be more titan classes"/"It should just be pilots only"/"There's not enough variables/progression systems"/etc. It crushed my soul, but it made me realize that Titanfall and its beauty were doomed despite its brilliance.
What I mean is, they are taking the classes of BLOPS4 MP (NON BR) and basically just making a Blackout game w/ those MP traits.
Being optimistic about something is way better than being pessimistic
Respawn knocked TF1 & TF2 out of the park (though I'm in the MP was better in TF1 boat). I will give this a shot because their gunplay is top notch. I need TF3 though
I hope progression is better than Blackout, and I hope they have a TDM mode. Otherwise I am BR fatigued
If nothing else I'm curious to see what this looks like, Respawn have proven they know how to make kick-ass multiplayer, so I have faith in them to make a good BR game.
Anthem doesn't have any PVP, much less a BR mode. Doubt there's much cross-over here.

Still can potentially take money away from sales. I have 0 interest hearing you don't play as mechs. That's the best part of Titanfall IMO
While I'm on the negative view of things currently, there is a ton of potential with this. The folks at Respawn made some of the most fun MP experiences over the last few years.
I believe in them, but do not like what I've read so far. I'll give it a shot though!

Isn't the answer obvious?
The BR is a test for their future plans:
They're going to do a crossover and the pilots from titanfall are going to be teleported to the world of Anthem. The javelins become their titans, and thus PVP is formed with Titanthem 3
Yes but it's ftp so competition doesn't matter that much. Launch period affects packaged games the most because at least half of the sales come from the first first weeks. With free-to-play titles you want a player base that gradually increases and initial downloads don't matter that much. As long as it doesn't launch during the holidays it's fine.
I agree with you on the titan part.
EA: You know what players want, Titanfall Battle Royale.
Players: Ok, cool...
EA: No Titans, tho...
Players:
You'd be fooling yourself if you think the gunplay in Titanfall is not one of the best we have ever gotten.
Titan or no Titan, I believe in Respawn and will always support them. They make great games, and gunplay/gameplay is untouchable.
