    I don't know, i will say that it looked and felt great. Ran at 4k for me with what seemed like 60fps, no noticeable lag or anything besides a few spikes here and there but nothing drastic. That said i just couldn't get into, the maps weren't really doing it for me, attrition just felt lifeless but that could be due to the bland map design, and I just felt like i was playing a video game rather than getting immersed in any kinda way. Honestly its great there are so many choices, but jumping right into multiplayer with no tutorial everything felt a bit daunting for me, i don't understand anything about the new titans and just didn't have the patience to learn. Maybe i'll pick it up later when the price drops even more. I can't believe how well this ran though, even the battlefield beta i had to drop settings or resolution, and that ran really good.

    I understand what you mean about the goal being easier in Bounty Hunt, but the reason why I don't recommend it is because if you're against a team full of good players, they can easily snowball the match by denying the team to cash in and taking their money. Which leads to a very uneven score and isn't very fun. Attrition is one of the few game modes in my opinion that is more forgiving with being able to catch up in score. Plus it has the bots still so you can feel some gratification in killing them, especially Reapers which have a significant point value to them.

    This just happened to me in my first match during the free trial. I have no idea what's going on but there were players guarding the banks and it just became suicide. I'll try attrition next, I still don't fully understand what my titan does though

    Yeah, I think Bounty Hunt is probably the worst mode for new players. I don't even like it, due to the frustration factors. Get killed and lose half your money / get killed on your way to the bank and lose your contribution to your team. No thanks. I'll play it in a party, but that's about it. There are plenty of other modes, though, and Attrition is perhaps the best, especially for new players. You don't even get to see how often you died on the scoreboard. Nothing is displayed beyond your contributions to the team.

    As far as your Titan goes, playing Last Titan Standing will allow you to become familiar with the controls pretty quickly. And as was suggested, you can watch a preview video that explains the powers of each.

    That's the one downside about the free weekend that the retail doesn't have. The real tutorial of Titanfall 2--especially when it comes to how each Titan plays--is the campaign. It does a great job of slowly introducing the player to the various types of movement, weapons, and Titans.

    @spaceinsomniac: @giantstalker: Yea, Bounty Hunt is the advanced version of Attrition. More predictable gameplay because of the set AI spawn zones/order and bank locations, but that also gives players who know the mode a good advantage. Attrition is more random and more like regular TDM but without much of the (spawn) camping aspect of Pilots vs Pilots. The real gamemode in Titanfall 2 should be CTF, but that one is always hard to do in public games unless it's the main gamemode (although then the game would be even less popular).
