I had fun with the Titanfall beta, but an all MP game just isn't for me anymore. That's why Destiny is a better proposition for me. I can play a few MP rounds and get my fill, but I will have the solo/coop missions to fill the void.
Have you tried the Destiny beta? Watched a friend play through it and he cancelled his preorder. Seems like they want you to do the same stuff over and over again...
To be fair, I'm actually not disappointed in Respawn. They took a risk with the model they went with being MP focused. Titanfall is a great game but its one of those games that suffers because it didn't have long legs and there are a lot of factors contributing to that especially on PC wherein their competition pretty much comes from ALL types of games not just MP shooters (e.g. WoT, DayZ, CS:GO, BF4, Dota, LOL, etc.) though ultimately it may have been because people just quickly moved on to other games, which is always the case for every single game that comes out and the examples I pointed are few of the rare exceptions.
I really hope that they can really step it up for the inevitable sequel. I don't know what they can do though that can make it even more appealing since from the gameplay standpoint, its already pretty solid. The surprising thing about TItanfall is that I can be out for awhile and still be able to compete, unlike in COD where I just get fucking wrecked if I stopped for any long stretch of time. If anything, Respawn nailed the balance of the game so it doesn't skew so much in favor of people who have been playing the game a lot and those who stopped playing can just jump back in and still have a relatively good time with it.
I can appreciate the risks they took, I just expected more from the people that created the COD series. I've got to disagree with the game balance, I was getting absolutely wrecked when I started. People running around with their SMGs, electric smoke and getting their titans almost instantly thanks to burn cards. I think the smart pistol is one of the worst ideas in the entire game as well. I think COD is more twitchy so it takes a bit longer to get back into that mode.
Yeah I still play it on and off. I don't actually play a lot these days and I often find myself playing Titanfall since I can get in one or two matches before I get back to doing more productive stuff. I actually like playing it in short bursts.
I think that's what most people might be doing, which is why most game modes are dead.
I'm really disappointed in Respawn, but more so in myself for not getting a refund in time.
Saw TF on sale on Origin so I decided to pick up the deluxe edition since I had a bit of fun in beta. Dear God I got bored fast. I wish I had returned it within the 24 hour window EA's "Great Game" guarantee allows you. There also seems to be absolutely no one playing on PC unless it's one of the xpack modes as well. Severely disappointing...
Honestly, I was kind of looking forward to see just how much Xbox 1 failed (or didn't) with these policies. Guess it's just an average console war again.
