A lack of enemy AI in two of the playlists makes it less pat-on-the-back-y, which is good, but might be too much for Titanfall 1 players.

This is a big deal for me. The real benefit of the AI combatants was not to make things "easier" (although it did give under-skilled players a small way to contribute). The real point was that all that extra foot traffic and weapons fire gave Pilots a little bit of natural camoflauge against the Titans. One of the ways they balanced Titans with Pilots is that Titans would often have a difficult time spotting enemy pilots amongst all the contrails, drop pods, and foot soldiers scurrying around all over the place. On top of that, it all helped give the battles a feeling of epic scale that other shooters lack. One of the complaints that I've already heard from big Titanfall 1 fans is that the battles feel too small and too empty this time around.
