Forum Overview :: Titanfall
 
I can't get over how much I misjudged this. by Worm 02/15/2014, 10:12pm PST
It feels like COD with the whole "Nice Killstreak Here's a Nuke" thing dialed back. Scoring streaks just makes your titan appear faster or charges his bonus damage ability, sometimes they earn you cards which are bonuses that are good for a single spawn before they're gone. They're mostly passive but also can included better weapons or even a new Titan.

The entire parkour system is interesting and useful, you can get places pretty quickly it's also fun. I might suck at it but it feels like something you could get better and better at if you practice, feels like a lite edition of Mirror's Edge. Gunplay feels very COD and at the start of the match before Titan drops you could probably mistake it for a COD game with parkour. The auto pistol can be a little infuriating but it feels somewhat balanced, it's probably a little too good for farming NPC troops to get another Titan drop though.

The Titans work really well, they're powerful but fragile at the same time. Someone on foot can only take you out reliably by jumping on to you and attacking. For some reason this isn't covered in the tutorial but it's a lot of fun as a way of taking out Titans. However you can easily pick up an item that is a hard counter to this, or just hop out of your titan and shoot him off.

It all works very well, and probably the biggest issue they have is the idiotic defense of 6v6. It's a really fun 6v6 game that has kind of MOBA aspects to it but not too many. We don't need to pretend it's the same as Battlefield because of some AI troops (who have a danger level of negative 100) or act like it's some fucking confusing thing why people like massive clusterfuck FPS games.
