ideas from titanfall

(attack) #1

this thread is about what xt could take from titanfall, or even do better.

after playing titanfall, this are my first points:

1.the movement.
Titanfall have understand how important movement in a shooter is,but i have one problem with it!it seems a little bit easy and it damn reminds me of brink.(the movement feels the same ,but fits better with the maps ,because they are bigger).so the movement is beginners friendly , but lags in my first impressions on depth.
xt needs a better movement system!

2.the gunplay
this game have very little recoil.this results for me in simply a better feeling, because i dont get owned by unpredictable recoil of my weapon. what bothers me is again the IS.
the game is rly fast and IS simply doesnt perfect fit with it.
ok what could Xt learn from it:get rid of unpredictable recoil and i still hope to not have to use IS.
to be fair im not amazed of the gunplay of titanfall.(it does it jobs not more)

3.the maps
the maps of titanfall are big and they are not like tunnels,i can flank and have freedom.
Xt simply havent anythink of it.

4.the weapons.
i think the people are slowly get bored of this modern weapons.
the smart gun feels a little bit overpowert in some situations, especially against bots.
that is the only weapon in the game which stands out for me.
mps and shotguns are nothing special for me and it shows very fast clear that it aims for CoD players.
even the most titanweapons are too mainstream and a little bit boring.

5.the maptime
the maptime in tf is simply too short!
unfortunatly in Xt too.
10 mins are too short it should be around 15min

the graphics.
it looks good, but i would say xt is on the same lvl.
only the performance in tf is better.

ok if compare xt to titanfall directly.

titanfall is a very fun to play shooter, with some weak points.
but not that skillfocused.(i think i will buy it and i rly hate modern shooters normally)
at the MOMENT tf is much more enjoyable than xt.

i dont know if xt should keep the direction it goes and aim for the same market.
there is no place between cod ,bf3 and tf. the market is matured.
the cs ,tf2,et… players, thats a market which would be the better choice.

so what are your opinions?

The only thing I ask myself is why open a new thread for the same old things again?

I thought TF was trash when I played it today with the only thing enjoyable for me was the movement. the maps aren’t big at all with some of the areas not even being used because all the action happens in the center. smart gun is just silly and shouldn’t be there.

(Protekt1) #4

I think the smart gun is supposed to be strong against the AI fodder but not vs players. I haven’t played it yet tho.

Just wondering though, how does the mech combat feel compared to hawken?

(Breo) #5

Nothing wrong with it but it feels like a console game for casual players. The MK5 is unnessesary you don’t really have to aim with the autolock bullets…
It’s fun to play a couple rounds but after that I get bored of the spam from the mechs :smiley:

(shaftz0r) #6

i personally think hawken sucks, its just too slow. the mechs in tf are more responsive and fights are longer. i usually dont even bother getting in the mechs though. i just stick it on follow and take stuff out. that being said, the movement system is what keeps me playing tf. its extremely fun and you can really haul when you find the right lines. the gunplay is mediocre since you’re forced to use IS hipfire is just plain worthless

I play titan fall since 2 days ! and the few things to keep is the freedom of movement, and some map design idea (numbers of different access) but this game is just a joke … Gun play is horrible, Titan are useless that’s more a tamagoshi than a real interesting thing. Etc …

I never understand all the things around this game … Nothing more than a COD with a movement system. I don’t want play a COD from outerspace, this is nothing more than this. Small maps, small amount of player, more IA than players

Respawn are from a CoD background, IMO they’re handling this the right way. They know CoD is on the decline, but also realise that it had ‘something’ that kept players coming back each year. Rather than rip the formula apart they’re adjusting enough to make it ‘different’ but still keeping it familiar for the masses… genius for the console crowd to be honest, though I think i’ll enjoy it as a no brainer shooter with sme funky movement that games have ALL been lacking recently.

I think TF reach many types of gamers mostly players that want a fun game… which it is .
Easy to see by all the positive feedbacks out there .
The concept of Titans is great and different ,the game run smooth, map look good ,movement is nice .
When I said Game with something Special has more chance ,TF has it ! and so Loadout .

In each game there is That something for you that is cool that keep you tied to that game.
Titan rodeo and titan that pull out the pilot from hes titan is one of them for me .

Maybe not for competive players that play more serious games .
XT at my eyes is a more serious competive game and for me its isnt lot of fun.
I want to play games I like because I want to have a fun time not to go comp.

XT should stay Focus on this competion goal .Thats SD signature.
XT should try to perform well/better in the parkour urban movement .

Yep I’m agree with this point, but after few hours of game this is always the same situation, actual game modes are boring, maps are really to small for titans, hard to cross another titan in a street, big asses metro simulation ? But yes it’s clearly for me a no brain popcorn FPS. Good to set you brain off for 1h or 2. *I really don’t like this COD gunplay …

(rookie1) #11

might have an xtra TF key to give …waiting an answer from someone if no answer i will give it here

(Protekt1) #12

If so, I would put it to use.

(rookie1) #13

(attack) #14

(Protekt1) #15

No key here at all so it would be for my personal use.

(rookie1) #16

not particularly. you shouldnt be running from point to point anyway.

(Protekt1) #18

ty downloading atm

(biz) #19

movement is quite good and very accessible

I’m sure most of the modes will play like typical CoD trash, but It looks like there will be CTF and speed will actually matter

also, you can go shotgunning at crazy speeds without ironsights

Hope they remove the Smart Pistol… most OP gun i’ve ever seen in a Modern Shooter.
