I was excited for the game while I was playing the tutorial, but the gameplay is just easy and I can see myself getting bored quickly.
Wednesday. I don't feel very challenged in the game right now, but I don't think that makes it bad. It's not a "tactical" shooter, but did you actually expect that? If you did, I'm not sure what to say. If anything to me, that means there is a bit of a skill gap there which is what you want in a game. It means there is room for improvement. I certainly don't feel like I know everything there is to know about the game, but as a pilot I feel borderline unstoppable at times. I absolutely adore the movement...
To me, I died the first couple of spawns since I didn't know what was what at first. Once I figured it out (took about a minute), I was shooting pilots and auto-locking Titans like it was second-nature. Too easy, in my opinion, but not necessarily a bad thing since it's easily accessible to the casual crowd which are in abundance with the CoD community. I think I've been playing too much Tribes and Loadout to find this game challenging.
I didn't expect to go 15-3 on my first try without knowing anything. I feel like the game is made for the younger crowd and that's what I expected.
Lol, this makes no sense to me. One good round and the game is too easy? The current beta is limited in weapons and titan customization. Like in any game, people will get better over time. For all we know that server could have been filled with newbies who skipped the tutorial or are screwing around and admiring the game.
Now that you mention it, if it was his first game he probably was matched up against other level 1s. In other words, people who were playing the first time. I personally don't judge games off of singular plays but that's just me.
Most of your kills are probably coming from killing minions (bots)...I usually go something like 12-4...but I only kill real players like 3-5 times a game. Check your score at the end of the match, that's what matters, even in a game mode like Attrition where it feels like a team deathmatch game mode.
Yeah, I felt good until I realized I was just killing minions. This game will be really good once we get more maps and weapons, IMO.
"Too easy" seems like a criticism of the competition more than the game. It's multiplayer so the difficulty is entirely based on your competition. And if you are good at other FPS you are probably going to be good at this vs the average beta player. Some matches I get poor competition and dominate, sometimes I get really good players and will be lucky to have a 1-1 death to kill ratio. What mode are you playing? Rank means pretty much nothing as even bad players will rank up to the low level cap pretty quickly.
I don't get why everyone is rushing to defend the game when people are saying it's easy. It's a valid criticism. We all know it's a beta. We know that the maps, weapons, and titans are limited. That doesn't mean the competition should be bad. It should be filled with new players and veterans of FPSs. 15-3 isn't unreasonable when you look at pilot kills only. I'm usually in the 8-12 pilot kills with 3-6 deaths per game while leading my team. The level of your opponents doesn't matter, either. You're matched up in a game with others regardless of level. My first game, I was matched up against a few level 14s who had fully customizable loadouts. I still ended up 2nd on my team. Titanfall is a decent game, but this beta was really lackluster and showed that there isn't much of a learning curve to be competitive in this game. That really disappointed me. Without much of a learning curve, I'd get bored of this game quickly. I was on the fence of preordering at a sale price. Now, I doubt I'd get it unless it's on a big sale and my friends had it.
Beta is the ****!! I will probably purchase it thru the xbox one as a digital download. I can see why multiplayer will be 6v6, because the Titans are monsters in size and can easily fill up the map very quickly.
I did much better as the pilot on the ground using the shotgun. I was mowing people down. That's my weapon of choice for outside a Titan on the run. I still don't quite have the hang of the Titan part...but I guess I'm improving a little. I still don't like how it puts level 3 - 5 users with level 10+ users when matchmaking. I'd like to play people at my own skill level so it's even from that standpoint.
How can any FPS be easy unless you're really skilled? It doesn't make any sense and it's not a valid criticism. It's not like I'm ever going to pick up an FPS and be a bad ass...because my skill can only go up so much. My k/d ratio in CODs ranges from 1.0-1.5 over the years. My kd in bf4 is around 0.9. My kd in titian fall against humans is 0.8, but 2.2 overall (bc of bots)...this game is no harder or easier than any other first person shooter bc it ultimately all comes down to your competition regardless of how much they've leveled up in the game. Andrew Wiggins is most likely getting a lot of his kills off minions, not actual players. It might seem easy, but I can guarantee his "points" don't have him at the top of the leaderboard. The only people I know that are really dominating other players in titanfall are the ones that have like 2+ ratios in other fps games.
I played it for the first time yesterday. It's a lot of fun. What the multi-player gonna be like? Will it be Halo style (4 people, split screen)?
I can't believe people are already complaining that it is too easy. It is a freaking beta, and you're playing against countless other players who have never played before. Also, you're probably killing grunts - not players. It just shows that people wanted to hate this game before they even played it. The full title will have countless different build types and scenarios for the players and their Titans. Not to mention far more game modes and maps. But sure, you've mastered it in a few rounds of the beta. If you don't like the gameplay style, I get that... but to say it is too easy is absolutely laughable. It is a multiplayer game, so the difficulty level is a direct result of your level of competition.
Respawns has said there will be no split screen, however rumors are saying there is. We'll see at launch; at best it'll be 2 player split screen. I wouldn't hold your breath.
I don't get the too easy thing, I'm routinely getting crushed. Of course I'm a terrible FPS player. But the difference between this and COD is that I'm having a blast even when I'm getting beat down. There's so much going on and enough easy bots to pick off that I feel like I'm still contributing even if I'm not very good at taking out other players. I also like that the ultimate kill streak ( the Titan) is available to everyone and not just a perk for the best of the best or the people who play for hours a day. I'm really loving this game.
It isn't too easy. The dummies thinking they are raping are simply killing minions aka grunts, not players. In the Console Fight thread, Andrew Wiggins posted a screenshot "I WENT 27-5!" When he was actually 4-5. Everything else was grunt kills.
Most look like regular players, but I can just tell because they will be crouched in the middle of a street looking for something to shoot. Or when I go face to face with them, they are very slow in aiming and shooting. In the end, like BigM said, it makes everyone feel like they are contributing...even players like myself that arent that great. My first game, I went 16-4 and felt good about myself, then realized that I only killed 3 humans. It also allows everyone to get Titans, so regardless of whether or not you are a great player, you get the opportunity to play with the best "killstreak". But, there is enough skill involved that will differentiate between the good players and the great players. The learning curve is actually pretty steep, even though on first glance, it may appear easy or COD-like. There is much more to the game once you are more immersed.
