Agreed, TF1 was great and TF2 was good.Even though Titanfall 2 was good, I wish Titanfall 1 had a population jump like this. I vastly preferred 1 to 2. Not saying 2 was bad at all, just preferred the Titan system, burn cards etc.
May have to hop on PS4 and check it out again =)
It's pretty much the same thing as going F2P for a month, so no wonder. I hope this will help make Titanfall 3 happen and that EA won't release it between Battlefield and COD again.PS Plus can do wonders to a game online. It helped Rocket League go viral day 1.
It's not really because it's only available to those paying a subscription and the devs earn money from PS Plus.It's pretty much the same thing as going F2P for a month, so no wonder. I hope this will help make Titanfall 3 happen and that EA won't release it between Battlefield and COD again.
It's not the same.
a. It's tied to ps plus, therefore only available to subscribers
b. Those who add it to their library will continue to have access to it after this month
You need PS Plus to play online anyway, so it's functionally the same thing. Getting paid by Sony to have it on the monthly Plus games is really the only difference. It's basically a F2P game to those who grab it this month.It's not really because it's only available to those paying a subscription and the devs earn money from PS Plus.
My fellow Titanfall devouts...
Let us celebrate the momentus moment of Titanfall 2.... 3 years after it's release.... I currently avging 80 THOUSAND PLUS players due to obviously, being free on PSPlus this month.
I've got more than 400hrs logged with TF2 MP both between Xbox and PS4 as well as have the Platinum and have NEVER seen the player count this high!!!! (Not even during it's intitial release back in 2016)
Hopefully this sends a strong message to EA and to Respawn :)
THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR COMING OUT.... KEEPING THE SCENE ALIVE!!!! \m/
I've played MP for some 50 hours and prestiged six times. Glad to get back into it with a renewed player base! I am actually heartened when I see new players make Top 3 and hope they stick around.
I think that's probably the best part about the MP in this game. You don't have to know all of the advanced mechanics to feel empowered and succeed. At the same time, the skill gap is also great because the game is incredibly rewarding when you do know the advanced mechanics.
It's crazy if they don't make this FP2 and capitalise on this boost in popularity.
This game is regularly $10 or less, it's basically F2P at this point.
Precisely! And it's my prime example of why skill based match making isn't always best (or maybe Titanfall 2 is unique in that way).
It's always incredible to see the difference between dirt cheap (<$5) and free for a game. When it goes on sale for $3, nobody cares. when it's free, you get 80k people with a "well might as well" mentality, and BOOM! Playerbase is revitalized. I agree with others here, I really hope Respawn/EA sees this and decides to pake the PC and xbox versions free - they still can get cash from the Prime titans and cosmetic packs.
Even now, I can get a match of attrition in ~1 minute of matchmaking on PC, and it's still an absolute blast - Northstar, oh how I have missed ye.
Tempted to get a month of PS+ and play some matches.
or get it on Xbox. How is the population there?
I miss TF2
