Wonder how the story is going to be implemented into the multi-player. The game looks like it plays great but when you watch the videos many of the kills are from the AI which don't seem very bright and competitive. It's in alpha stage so hopefully with tweaks they balance everything out. The multi-player needs to be competitive all around in order for it to be enjoyable. Let's see how much it changes as the release date gets closer.

yeah the "grunts" look pretty crappy, saw one of the vids that showed the fella getting like 5-6 kills on them and not even being shot... would love them to implement a Forza like "drivatar" (god i hate that word)that takes from the players around the globe and implements into into the grunts just to improve their overall skill

[ic3fir3]

AI dont countdow for player kills, P-player kills, T-titan kills, G-grunt kills (bots)

[Utalkin2me]

Doesn't matter if it counts for kills or not. The AI plays a major part in the game obviously. And from what is shown from the game so far the AI looks underwhelming to say the least.

[Eonjay]

If you take a look at the leader board at the end of one of the videos, a player was able to outrank another by stacking grunt kills. Even though the guy had more human pilot kills, he didn't kill enough bots to score in the top 3. So, unless they change it, remember that the bots (which outnumber humans) should be your priority if you want a high rank/score.

@utalking2me ai doesnt play that huge of a part of domination i dont think ive seen them actually cap a point.

[jgrigs09]

Honestly when you play it, you kind of forget
About the AI's. You just play it and it doesn't cross your mind. With the AI's and their intelligents I think will be tweaked by launch. Obviously they just wanted to get this test out and get opinions. Im also glad I didn't have to deal with lag. I think this was the first game I didn't skip around a fucking map like a drunk bastard. My opinion I give it a 10/10. Not just because I have an Xbox it's just what I liked about it. Hope you guys enjoy it if you have an Xbox or PC

Titanfall was 8/10 review for the alpha

[Omar91]

This game really does look like COD meets Halo. That's not such a bad thing though. I was never into COD, But I can see myself getting into this game. It just looks so fast pace and frantic. It makes Killzone look like its running in slow motion. What I did notice was the textures were very flat and uninspired but it's in its Alpha stage so no doubt they will improve. The most important things seem to work such as balancing, and gameplay so color me excited for this one.

[Shadonic]

More like COD meets lost planet bu instead of a grappeling hook you have a jet pack and can wall run like in the game Devils third. if you think about it, Only thing Halo is about it is the mechs and those were added just recently in Halo 4 as actule fighting mechs. and that it has guns, everything else is more

[OpieWinston]

Wouldn't taht make it more like Crysis meets Warframe.

Crysis power jumps/lift up/armor abilities
Warframe wall running

[Shadonic]

that's the thing Opie there's a bunch of different games that have pretty much the same elements that we see in titanfall. whats different is their visuals and how they work into the gameplay. In other words it can be viewed as a mix between bunch of different games.

[jgrigs09]

Honestly when you play it you kind of forget about the AI's. I'm glad they stuck with low count players because having 12 vs 12 with all those
Mechs would get annoying. I think the AI's will improve at its launch. This alpha test was testing the servers I believe? Which worked wonders I didn't have a single lag. It's fun :). I hope you enjoy it!

Sorry I thought I deleted this because I posted on the wrong part of the thread

[DonFreezer]

6VS6 is the best number.I have seen the footage and more than this would clatter the screen with mechs. If you can't realise this you are a blind ps troll.

[Neoninja]

Think it's unfair for you to say "blind ps troll". I think this might just be general ignorance with the mentality bigger is better. However there is definitely animosity from a few people because of the platform Titanfall is on. But like I said I think it's more ignorance than anything.
I for one like the 6v6 and think it'll be more fun and after seeing gameplay I'm happy they're sticking with it.

[ambientFLIER]

Agree. 12 mechs is enough, and any more and it will be a clusterfuck.

[solidworm]

Same old cod easy mode headless chickens no recoil high bullet damage fps. Should sell a ton...sigh.

[Belking]

Titan Fall looks awesome! can't wait to play it.

[Asuka]

i'll be picking this up because im a sucker for mecha. i could careless if its a COD clone or not. I currently don't have the $$$$ for an xbone, and i dont own a 360 anymore, so pc is my only option. Im kinda bummed though because since its being published by EA, TF is probably going to require me to use Origin. Hoping for a steam version, but doubtful.

[AceBlazer13]

Idk if it's cause i played so many games with wall running before but i don't see why ppl are praising this game. S4 League and Gunz

[megatron_78]

i hope there's an option to remove bots,there is no logical reason to have AI replace humans no matter what anyone says! 6 vs 6 with bots. really y not 8 vs 8 no bots,this argument of more isn't better really doesn't apply just cause u have bots as filler , seems they added them just so u can have something to shoot at all the time , acting as canon fodder. the game play looks crazy the graphic style awesome, but the more i think about it the more i realize how much better it would be if they were all players ,i know that my opinion ,but i cant see bots improving the experience , how could they ,

[ambientFLIER]

Obviously there is a logical reason, otherwise the developers wouldn't have added AI…unless you think that you know better than they do.

It's very simple. Only human players can call in Titans. Which means a maximum of 12 titans on a map at once. Any more than that, and it would be a clusterfuck, even on large maps, if lots of mechs all congregate in the same area, and the game will no longer be tactical, but a free for all.

The AI players complete objectives, which is what many HUMAN players refuse to do in team based games. In addition, AI is there for greater scale of battles, with dozens and dozens of players running around. Yet they can't call in Titans, and will not overwhelm the map.

In addition, if you had been able to do 12x12 human battles, and have maps large enough to accommodate 24 titans at once, then the gameplay for soldiers would be very boring, since the maps would have to be the size of Battlefield's, and you would run for minutes just to get to the other side.

Get it now??

[AutoCad]

This game is going to be the game to have.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

I don't know why Sony fanboys are so mad. Infamous is coming out next month and I'm sure it will be great. I will pick infamous up and play til til TF comes out. See fanboys, that's how you get the most out of gaming by not picking a side. I will enjoyinfamous , mario kart, and TF all within a few months of each other. Now who do u think wins that battle? Here's a hint, not Sony not MS or Nintendo. I win as a real gamer!

[joebeta]

Nice trio of games you mentioned, there.

[Canadianfubar]

Agree with lots of comments around the net. Looks like COD meets Halo. Fast paced like COD players enjoy with futuristic weapons. Looks alot like COD texture/hud wise, but when Respawn was only COD games before, kinda makes sense.
Should be entertaining for Xbox owners.
Question is how will a multiplayer only game that uses cloud computing a lot fair with the new ruling on net neutrality?
Are people going to be able to afford the bandwidth to play these games down the road?
