Hey everyone, just seeing if there is much interest out there for this?

GhostofGallipoli was fortunate enough to get some game time on this at an Expo in AUS.

The word is that this is the game to watch. Could be a highly competitive i.e scrims and tournaments.

It was on my radar but the whole 6v6 thing dropped it way down.

Can't fucking wait.


6v6 isn't too bad, apparently it can be boosted up with bots, which is OK. Sounds like it could be too busy for more than 6 a side anyway

I think there are Bots to increase the numbers either side/? I could be wrong

But not worth as much per kill as killing a player or Titan.

Interested to see how this comes out as BF4 is a total flop in terms of its competitive play.

Reply #5 Posted: January 20, 2014, 02:22:55 pm
Related to *juice*. The Orz like *sauce*, which they seem to acquire through killing: "After the *dancing*, Orz think you will make good *special sauce*. Maybe even for other Orz *party*." It would seem this is likely to be something sinister. The Orz apparently wish those who take part in *parties* to enjoy the *sauce*, as in the above quote, or in their parting words from random encounters: "Do not forget to *enjoy the sauce*."

Probably a good that I didn't waste my money on BF4 then.

Titanfall has been made by those guys from Infinity Ward.
Same guys who made Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Story I heard was Call of duty guys that didn't like the direction of COD so split off and made a game with integrity.

6v6 could work, would be the right way to go if you wanted to take competitive gaming seriously imo

cloud servers? pass

It will have dedicated servers. Just not hosted by providers - Microsoft's deal with EA is that they will provide servers on the XBOX Cloud Server system which is global. HOWEVER, this is the first game that will be using this global system specifically for game servers. I won't bore you with the details, but if it works, it will work well.

I'm keen as shit on this game, but also very wary. Call me cynical, but I think we've seen a lot of excitement for AAA titles that have just ended in farcical disappointment in recent years.

Absolutely. Sick of being disappointed. I've turned in to one of those people who don't pre-order anymore, and just wait to see what everyone else says before I go "HA, SUCKERS, I SAVED ON THAT ONE!".

Yep, I am sure tittyfall is EA/origin and the next big mantle release.

At least it aint EA/Dice who seem to be going backwards from beta stability.

Myself and a guy at work have been following this immersively. I see not problem with 6v6 + bots of some kind and you can set your titan on a follow command so theres another few players....

once you see it in action it makes sense.

6 "pilots", can fight on foot AND call in & drive a massive titan robot. OR they can fight on foot with the titan set to follow mode.

as well as that there are AI controlled grunts running round.

it's fast, very very fun, and a real contender for E-sport IMO.

as you all know, large team formats are shit for esports

Summarising Ghosts post, it's the Tribes movement mechanism. You can ski, boost, and use all sorts of motion - if you don't know how, then jump on Ascend and start prac'ing, cos this shit's gonna get loose.
