Titanfall 50 combatants on maps, aka RESPAWN are CLUELESS!

yes, online only. teh cloud!!!

eermmm i dont even have ps4, currently have x360 and pc. just because i hate m$ and x1 doesnt mean i love sony but i will be rebuying a ps3 once exams are finished

this is exactly whats going to happen. not liking the sound of it at all or at least give me straight up death match or capture the hill

u may not be reffering to me but i never once said 6v6 is too low, the devs filling the place with bots kind of proves the naysayers right though

my hype of titanfall is dwindling but ill buy it for pc anyway, started to get hyped for destiny but bungie needs to show more competitive multiplayer aspect

It sounds like the AI are just creeps... Maybe they want to make a MOBA out of it and are hiding the fact.

It is wierd i mean the Hype is crazy, i mean the reality of the game is, it's basicly call of duty with mechs but only after a certain time or score???

I'm not one for first person shooters so it does not interest me one bit, but i do see the appeal but what i don't see is why such the hype, i mean the graphics don't really impress me that much. Am I right in saying this is probably what FPS needs a shake up, because it's getting stale.

not surprised, they cant play/see Titanfall. and cows flooding YouTube titanfall videos calling the graphics underwhelming 6 v. 6. fail etc. bunch of sony drones with a need to play games.

So clueless that they made millions off their past games. What have you done with your life OP? Besides asking your Mother for $ to go to the movies?

More and more it sounds like an FPS moba, they just don't want to admit it

Funny though. Call of duty has AI in mutiplayer too. In the form of sentry guns, helicopters, and an an array of other assists that are used to increase the intensity of the battle whilst keeping the player count the same. And we should remember exactly who it was that introduced this idea.

Auto turrets are nothing unusual even in more competetive games, neither are AI. It adds a new dimension to the play working in conjunction with them. This is nothing more than an extension of that. And I find it hard to believe that people would be complaining about this if it was coming out on the PS4.

Dude, why do you care so much? You make a thread about this every day. If you don't like it, just don't play it.

Any single player free for all?

I feel like Respawn has more of a clue than some random poster on SW

because they have a good concept and the gameplay mechanics look tight so i dont want them to ruin it for me. im stuck playing bad company 2 for 3 years because no other game is any good, and before bc2 it was halo 3/gears

no announcement, hopefully there is

So? Bitching about it on a fanboy forum isn't going to do anything. Go take it up with the devs.

They're not here to serve you. And you're not "stuck" playing BC2. You just sound like a whiny brat

@ghostwarrior786: It's optional. You do know that right? You don't have to play against bots. You can play 6 vs 6 humans with 12 players each having their own Titans. So 24 characters running around on the screen at once. If you want more players you can add AI bots as well. So you could have a 7 vs 7 or 9 vs 9. It's obvious that this AI Bots will be playing off dedicated cloud servers.

i do it to assess the vibe of the gaming communitie, if other people are feeling the same way then their is hope for change, if not fu(k titanfall

It's optional. Stop your crying.. lmao!! You can add bots if you want, but you don't have to use them. If the map is huge and you want more targets you can add 1 or 2 bots to fill the void and make things more challenging.

source? i want to believe u but everything devs have said says otherwise and that ai titan needs to gtfo, mark my words that is going to ruin the game

I hate bots to tell u the truth. Played them in the counterstrike days and it was lame. If titanfall for pc version is also limited to 6vs6 and bunch bots then might not get the game will wait for reviews and see what the guinea pigs and beta tester says about it

@k2theswiss: No, there are no other game types with higher player counts in the game - 6v6 is the maximum.

For obvious reasons, i've been avoiding discussing this drama on here (despite me having said the player limit a few months back on here) but i'd be remiss in not throwing some interesting insight into what I feel is the true aspect of this whole debacle that actually has some players upset.

When I first saw this drama burst out, part of me thought "These must be just upset Playstation fanboys looking for a reason to hate on the game", an idea many Xbox fanboys believe. But I did something few people in this situation do, particularly people in the game's industry do - I spent a ton of time reading the reactions and reasoning of upset gamers regarding this topic. With all that said, I don't think this is merely just upset PS4 fanboys talking here. I think what might have players upset is what you have brought up.

I think if the game had gametypes that allowed for more players, maybe more players but no AI, or other game modes with less players but more bots, this issue wouldn't be discussed at all right now. In a game like CoD: Ghosts, the Ground War playlist exists to accommodate players who want to play CoD: Ghosts but with higher player counts, and it totally works. Part of the reason Call of Duty sells as well as it does, or even why it got as big as it has in the first place, is because of how accommodating its offerings can be to a variety of player desires when it comes to MP. Having fewer options, which TF most CERTAINLY has, won't really help it in the campaign to bring over players from other shooters into its fold.

Hopefully the PC version has more than that. It's clear that the XBone's limitations are holding back the player count just like resolution and FPS are being held back by the weak ass Bonaire GPU.

@ghostwarrior786:

Let me just burst your bubble now - there isn't. No FFA gamemode whatsoever.

The bot count is not optional. Players have no way of customizing bot counts in-game.

So they are going out of their way to make this not just another shooter with new ideas and taking risks and people are bashing them? Why don't you all just admit that all want to do is play cod shut up already.

I tend to think the devs know how many players is best suited to the game they built from the ground up. Being as not only did they build it....they played it time and time again....for hours and hours and hours....and probably have a decent idea how to make the experience enjoyable.

Apologies for bringing logic all up in here.

TC....

you know what the most popular genre is at the moment in terms of multiplayer besides MMO? its MOBA.

What game mode has A.I mixed in with multiplayer? ... yea ... Moba.

pipe down.

Take the game's AI-controlled characters. They aren't there to fill in the roster or load out a map that only supports six players per side. They're meant to serve several different functions. On one level, the AI characters are there as fodder for players who simply aren't good enough to kill other player-controlled characters. They also serve as an easier way to load up on the experience needed to call in a Titan

Calm the **** down and stop throwing your toys out of the pram, they're making the game they know and choose what's best for that game, if you don't like it don't play it.

at the very least they should allow the flexibility for match setup to alter the human player count, they can always fix that with a patch I imagine

but I've faith in their attempts to bring balance into the gameplay

Or they wanted to try something new. Just wait for your yearly CoD release if you don't like it.

Eh, it's a pretty sub-standard sounding game really. The mechs sound enjoyable and I'm sure the game will be a decent time but the more they talk about this game to the public the worse the game sounds.

They should just stop talking about the game honestly...

Game sounds more and more mediocre.

Could end up being a cheatfest as all other post COD 4 IW games are. IW has shown numerous times how little they care for the pc community.

calm down tc, you're making cows a whole look like awful

hahahaha exactly what I wanted to say. Well said!

How about you wait to play the damn game first and THEN spew this crap.

You have no idea if bots ruin or help the game yet and from every pubication or site I've seen talk about the game it's still fun as hell

Damn, so much cow butthurt in this thread.

That just ruined all the hype for the game, holy shit what kind of retarded shit is this?

6v6 is the ideal number, I thought the game is supposed to be 6v6 so I was fine with this but retardpawn comes and say they will fill the maps with bots? wtf is the meaning of online gaming then?

y'know, i don't really care one way or the other about titanfall because i'm not really in the demographic but what this topic made me think was.

hey sw, do you know who didn't have any probems with how this game was set up?

these guys.

lol.

Refurb got it right. Respawn have specifically stated that they tested with higher player counts, and that the AI counterparts are not there to pad the numbers... They will play their own roll.

Or it's clearly your clueless ass making up shit.

Perhaps you should make another poll. Maybe this time you'll get what you want out of it or maybe not. Your track record isn't so great.

2 more months of this shit. Can't wait until this game comes out so people can stop talking about it...other than the poor the sales on Xbone. inFAMOUS Second Son will sell more on next gen.

Meh. I didnt mind bots In Star Wars Battlefront.

So I'm making up shit that Titanfall is struggling to hit 60fps at 720p on Xbone? Yea, keep crying stupid lem. Your damage control won't save the POS Xbone from getting crushed by the PC version of the game. Instead of being a dumbshit spending $500 to play games at 720p why not invest that money into a new GPU. I'll be enjoying Titanfall at 1080p - 1440p on my PC while laughing at your stupid lemming peasant ass paying $500 to play games at 720p in 2013.

XD You can bet your sweet ass that EA will be mad at themselves for betting on Xbone at the start of the gen. Titanfall 2 will be ported ASAP to PS4 the first chance they get lol.

You have a PC?

But there is no evidence at this time that the player count is due to hardware limitations, nor that there will be a different player count on PC.

This isn't about 720 60fps struggles or anything to do with performance. This is about the 6v6 multiplayer count. So yeah you're making up shit or as you usually do, talk out of your ass.

About as clear as mud since games like BF4 run at the same resolution with over 5x the players on much larger maps with destruction.

Pretty obvious that it's a developer choice. I'm only a little surprised that it's 6 vs 6. I'd expect 8/8 or 10/10 as another option- at most. (and maybe it is, for some other unannounced game types.) Halo has always been 4 vs. 4 but it had modes for 2/2, 5/5, 6/6 and 8/8. And they never went over 16 because the game just wouldn't play well if they did. I've played 16 vs. 16 on CoD-size maps and 64 players on some of BF3/4's smaller maps and it just doesn't work. Expecting anything like that in a CoD-like game is just stupid.

But whatever. It really doesn't concern me in the end because I have no aspirations to get this game. Moar CoD/CoD-like trash = no thank you. I've been above that filth ever since I got into Battlefield.

Yea, I have a PC. I really hope you're wrong about the player count. It's the only thing that will make me cancel my preorder for this game. I can handle the mediocre grahics but I can't handle puny 6 vs 6. The last time I played with such low numbers was back in the Quake 3 Arena days.

Ever played a DOTA game? Same general idea, you have AI fodder used as currency to build up for a titan drop.

Not interested in the game myself, but moaning about 12 players is kinda silly. Most every competitive game is actually small scale, not large.

I agree, but Battlefield 4 is just more MP trash. It was fun for a while, but I don't see how people play these repetitive garbage MP games forever.
