The true hero of that match (reply)

It was a very intense ending to a game where we lost our third player very early and weren't able to recover him.

I think you probably meant, "Our third player, Beorn, made some clutch kills at the very beginning of the match, allowing Xenos and Blackt1ger to escape and continue the mission. He bravely sacrificed himself in the name of Victory. Let's all pour one out for Beorn."

Xenos for the win (reply) I didn't capture enough of the ending sadly but here's the context. We're in a small circle with 1 additional squad at the end of the game. Xenos and I holed up in a building using his gas traps and we were trading some pot shots with them but nobody was doing enough damage for it to matter. Using my bloodhound abilities I'm keeping track of where the enemy is while the game prepares to shrink to the next (smaller) circle. Finally the enemy decides to hole up in a small building with two entrances. Xenos uses his ultimate ability to gas the place and I throw in a bunch of grenades through the other door. This nets us two kills but the final enemy escapes outside the building. Then this happens. It was a very intense ending to a game where we lost our third player very early and weren't able to recover him.

If you look closely, I'm actually going down at the very end of the clip.

Also, apparently a closing door kills wraith when she is in the other dimension. Clearly my opponent knew about this, but I did not.

New weapon: Havoc (reply)

Looks cool!

It's the Volt fused with the Charge Rifle as a secondary fire. Hnng!

Can confirm that both were great weapons.

Now they just need to bring in the L-STAR and EPG as Supply drop weapons, and we'll have a rounded-out Titanfall arsenal for any playstyle! (The fact that Bloodhound is holding an L-STAR in the boxart is a good sign of things to come).

And I can think of many great uses for the Thunderbolt if they were to bring that back, too, but that would probably make for unfair endgame matches.

Another little detail I just noticed (reply)

I'd never really noticed before, until I watched some of these videos.

When it gets down to the final squads, the number of players remaining in the top right corner changes to a "?" If it's just you another squad, it prevents you from knowing if they have a full team or just one person remaining. That's pretty neat.

I don't think it has anything to do with the number of squads, I think it had to do with the number of players. We were playing last night and there were 4 squads left but we still got the ? on number of players. And there were only 2 in my squad alive at the time. I would guess when it gets below 10 players or something that happens.

Yep, fire up the tutorial and test them there (reply)

I'm at the point where I've played enough that I know how most of them feel now.

I'm at this terrible point where If I see a gun I'm holding I can easily say "oh yeah, I love this gun" but if I see it in a chest or one of my teammates says "There is a R-301 over here" I'm just "what tha @#$% is that?"

It’s not for me (reply) Yeah, I can understand where you’re coming from in regards to combat. Took me a while to get used to it, but I’ve come to love it. I actually think it’s a refreshing change in a world where ever other shooter has sub-second time to kills, which feels like it’s always about whoever shot first wins. I like that this game allows me to get shot and still have time to escape and reposition and come out on top.

I understand the argument against that, too, but I think it’s a good change of pace, and it works well in this type of game.

It’s not for me (reply) You're in luck, then, in theory. There is supposed to be a "Premium" Titanfall release or something in the fall sometime after the Respawn SW game. So, in theory it will be something more in line with a mainline TF game (assume it isn't just a crazy spinoff)

It’s not for me (reply) Jumped in for a bit with Cheapley and BlackTiger tonight. I had plenty of fun, but I think it was my teammates more than the game we were playing. While I can totally see the appeal, and it does seem like a thoroughly well made game, I was instantly missing the fluid traversal and snappy combat that make Titanfall so much fun. The combat in Apex just feels a bit stiff and lifeless to me... not bad in any way, just kinda “meh”. There’s loads of cool buildup and mechanics, all leading towards a burst of action when the fighting starts, but I never found the fighting itself particularly fun.

I immediately jumped from Apex back into Titanfall 2, and had a blast.

https://xboxdvr.com/gamer/nevindouglas/video/69641856


Overall, I’m torn on Apex. It’s great for what it is, and I’m glad people are enjoying it so much. Plus it’s always cool to see a talented developer try something a little different, and do it well. But I’m also a bit bummed out that they made this instead of Titanfall 3. There’s no shortage of Battle Royal games out there, but nobody makes anything like Titanfall. Plus, there are a lot of little mechanics and ideas in Apex that I’d love to see in a Titanfall game. Oh well :)

It's really good! (reply) Annoyingly I'm familiar with eh guns from Titanfall, but have no memory for proper nouns. Usually I need to fire off a few rounds to remember what the gun is in TF2, but that does not work well here.

Some fun clips... (reply)

Even with part of their team off working on a doomed Star Wars title, Respawn is on another level here, akin to Guerilla doing Open World better than devs who "specialize" in the genre.

I think this is not a genuine representation of Respawn as a Developer. It is a separate dev team working on the SW title, which we have no current information that would support it being classified as “doomed” beyond EA mishandling entirey removed SW games.

It is important to understand that because as you cited Guerilla, Respawn didn’t decide to just do this because it was popular. Their Titanfall team felt this was a game worth making and that their ideas for it would be valuable in its greater context. So rather than tack it on to a Titanfall 3 release they put their whole team behind it and it shows.

Assault on that sniper nest:

https://xboxdvr.com/gamer/cheapley/video/69184296


I noticed you backed out of the box to swap guns for the attachments. You don't actually have to do that! Just hit Y, and your character will swap guns without affecting the inventory menu.

That’s awesome! I did not realize that. I don’t know why I’ve never tried just swapping weapons in that menu.


The rooftop battle:

https://xboxdvr.com/gamer/cheapley/video/69184196


Sorry that I didn't try to rez you. That Bangalore had a clear Longbow shot on my rock, so I was trying to push in with suppression shots while keeping an eye on the downed guy on the roof.

No worries. You made the right call and took us to a win. I honestly don’t know what I was thinking. I was trying to make it to you and the cover by the cliff, but that was stupid. It’s obviously too far—I should have just dropped off the building and ducked into the door that was right there.

Starting it off right in Runoff:

https://xboxdvr.com/gamer/cheapley/video/69184872


That looked great from my angle, as you sprinted around the corner after the Wraith and gunshots rang out from offscreen. That's just fun cinematography.

That was a lot of fun in the moment. You can see how effective constantly pinging an enemy while your down is—I’d have had no clue where she was in that smoke.

Man, this game...

Seriously. I’m just repeating myself now, but this is the first game in years that has me thinking “maybe 2am isn’t that late, let’s just play one more.”

I haven’t really been into competitive multiplayer since Halo 3. I even fell off of Reach fairly quickly. This game, though . . . It’s just grabbed me. It’s the first game in a long time where my experiences with randoms has been far more positive than negative. I don’t want to oversell it, but I think that ping system is largely responsible for that.

I’ll post some clips from last night in a bit. Wait until you see the one where I died on the roof when we were the final two squads. I got bamboozled by my own goddamn decoy. I didn’t even realize it at the time, I only saw what happened when I watched the footage. Feels bad—that could have cost us the game. I still don’t know why they didn’t pick up the revive on that roof.
