Apex legends boosted TF2s average playerbase on pc from 800 to 4000 players. Yeah cod did help kill it but it also had shitty advertising, probably because of EA
Leo White
I still play it all the time. PS4 and PC.
Game's thriving. Takes a minute to find a match but it's totally reasonable. Apex really did give it a surge.
it died because ea intentionally sabotaged the promotion of it so respawn would have financial troubles and could be bought.
Dominic Diaz
Its kinda funny once you realize not even Respawn likes EA, one of their devs was trash talking EA In an interview and he got away with it. Respawn seems to know how to stay alive, Apex made them rich and the CEO confirmed on Twitter new Titanfall stuff to be coming soon.
Ryan Ross
>the CEO confirmed on Twitter new Titanfall stuff to be coming soon. source?
>1 out of 8 players are hacking on Apex Guess everyone got sick of all the bullshit
Luke Perez
Titanfall 2 is a great game and I'm pretty happy that I got the ultimate edition last year for 6 bucks and now the game has a 2nd life due to Apex. But god damn I went back to Cod 4 yesterday since it's the free playstation plus game for the month and holy hell it aged like shit. Some of the worst spawns ever made and it feels like a Brandon Lee simulator where your guns just fire blanks with an occasional live round in them
Brody Sanders
Best game on Origin you can get. Apart from dead space. Only reason why i have origin was just for Dead Space and Titanfall 2.
Jaxson Cruz
Titanfall 2 is the greatest tragedy in modern gaming because of how good it is and how little attention it got. EA killed it on purpose and I hate them. >Apex legends boosted TF2s average playerbase on pc from 800 to 4000 players This is the only good thing about Apex.
William Reed
With enough advertisement Titanfall 2 could survive long like Team fortress 2. That thing is nearly 13 years old and still has over 30k players on average. Its very possible that Titanfall 2 would do the same if it wasn’t for EA.
Oliver Collins
Oh for sure. The gameplay is there. I am a little skeptical as it doesn't have as much personality as Team Fortress 2 but games have turned things around in the past. EA is forcing Respawn to support Apex, however. I just hate the characters (except Pathfinder) so much. It's spits into the face of Titanfall aesthetic.
Camden Rodriguez
Literally the only reason I don't play it is because of Origin.
Cameron Edwards
Best description.
Thomas Adams
Pathfinder and Pathfinder were originally designed for Titanfall 1. I guess that does explain why they look so radically different in artstyle. Proof : bloodhound and pathfinder figurines were spotted in tf1 interviews.
Jack Ward
Sorry im dumb. Pathfinder AND BLOODHOUND
Liam Walker
>800 to 4000 wait what? no way. I play it on PS4 so I didn't knew that
I understand and that's a shame, friend. Bloodhound's design isn't bad but doesn't mesh with the art style imho. He would've fit better as a faction leader in TF2
Jordan Price
It boosted on all platforms to 3000-4000 average. Id say 12000 average players on all platforms.
Charles Cox
To be fair on the artstyle : Apex takes place 30 years after Titanfall 2 as confirmed by devs again. And pathfinder is just MRVN 2.0, so not much was needed to keep the same style
>30 years later >Not a Titan to be found >Characters more magical and diverse than ever before Yea, no. This is just a pissing contest with fortnite. That is all.
Hunter Campbell
The whole apex spin is (from what i know) that its a show and the winners eill get to be part of the APEX Predators. Its all run by Kuben Blisk. Pilots and Titans are not allowed since they would win everytime and because they will be accepted because they are already pretty good.
Carson Perry
Wait, Apex runs on the fucking Source engine? It doesn't feel like Source at all.
Gavin Bell
And the whole diversity thing was a marketing trick. Why else would we have one straight white male who gases minorities ?
Ryan Hill
I liked Titanfall 2 but I don't think they should have aped Call of Duty as much as they did. Too arcade-y for me.
More infantry-only modes branching out into different subgenres would have been cool. I would have liked an attack/defense mode and more like PvP.
Bentley Davis
Heavily modified source engine. They did a great job at removing all of source’s limitations. Bigger maps, more polygons and better optimized. Its essentially a whole new engine built on top of source at this point.
We know because of end credits and because you can view all models and such with source model viewers.
Dylan Cruz
does it have a good singleplayer? are there bot matches? I am bad at competitive shooters
Jason Rodriguez
I thought the Apex Predators were nothing more than a band of mercs hired by the IMC to carry out wetworks against the militia rebels?
Guess Blisk got pissed drunk, watched Hunger Games after playing a round of Fortnite and came up with this idea all by himself. Thus the birth of Apex Arena.
That's okay. A vast majority of players are hacking in Apex anyway so just follow their lead user.
Benjamin Jackson
It has a good singleplayer campaign, its worth your time. It doesn’t take itself too seriously but also makes you feel emotional for a Mech. 9/10
Jose Reyes
According to lore, the imc and militia are fighting on the other end of the galaxy and blisk is stuck on the frontier/ new space, so he had to get money somehow and new people.
Noah Williams
>IMC gets stuck on the wrong side of the galaxy >Manages to fuck up Militia big time who had fucked them over Man something ain't adding up here... what happened between 1 & 2 that I'm missing.
We left of on 2 with Jack being offered a position to join Apex with Blisk if I'm not mistaken and then J. Cooper's helmet reactivating as if BT was somehow a ghost in the machine.
Gabriel Fisher
Yeah they didn’t explain much, but as I posted before, we have verification that new Titanfall stuff is coming soon, so they might explain why the fight is somewhere else and why blisk is on the other end of the war.
My fav singpleplayer shooter campaign. Takes more than full advantage of it's movement system. Never reuses a gimmick and each level has its own personal gimmick. the factory level is the best thing I've done singpleplayer in like a decade. I played on master difficulty first time around. I highly recommend it.
Source was written from scratch. Goldsrc is modified Quake engine.
Bentley Price
Source still has a few lines of quake world code left in it according to john carmack.
Nathan Ross
No need to reinvent the wheel in some cases. If you got some great code and/or solid libraries, no need to rewrite it if you can't do better. Very common in programming.
Blake Morales
>>adds ontop of that with advanced movements + >terrible mech design
Is why the game was terrible. Advanced aids is aid.
Leo Baker
Why couldn't they design Apex characters to be more like these guys? Shit, they could come in different colors and accents and I don't think people would mind as much. They're just too goofy and cartoonish to be taken seriously.
The whole dynamic of mechs and wall running foot soldiers is supposed to be unfair. It was essentially the whole point of having big giant mechs. Its pretty common to kill more than 5-10 pilots in one titan life.
advanced movement is fine, you have classic wall running, classic double jumps, but also bhopping from the source base.
Julian Edwards
>tfw turning pilots in the far distance into fine mush with your fucking shotgun turret blast
I dare you to find me a more satisfying feel in vidya
Except you rarely see them and all weapons have physical bullets that need to travel ? Its a heavily reworked proprietary source engine, its way harder to find a good cheat compared to open source valve’s.
those two soldiers are diverse in skin color but not cartoonish enough for the masses.
I don't think it's diversity as much as resembling something close enough that is easily recognizable (fortnite).
Much like how the the Roman Emperor adopted "Christianity" yet kept the same holidays and traditions as before. Just slapped a new name on his product that everyone was more familiar with so it wasn't as diverse or foreign to the people.
Apex has way more ching chongs while Titanfall doesn’t even have any players in the chinese region. And most people playing it are dedicated players rather than people who installed it 5 minutes ago just to cheat.
The factory level is the best I've seen in a single player shooter. Didn't get the appeal of multiplayer though, felt like the game had potential but the gunplay was just bad like MW2.
Like, you explain it to someone who hasn't played it, and there's a fuckton of details and stuff you have to go indepth to make them understand why it's so awesome and adrenaline pumping. Once you're playing against competent people, it's more than a blast.
How fucked is Titanfall 3 know with Apex? >No custom kits or on the fly edits. >Heroes instead of gadget selection >No more pilot designs, moving to more hero >Titans are locked as hero ultimate's >They won't shut the fuck up >No speed >No campaign >No new titans >Removal of factions >Removal of progression system >Loot boxes I'm legitimately worried with whats going to happen with 3, I seriously doubt their going to separate the bad changes they made.
Hopefully the steal some of the LANCER.RPG designs for the new game.
Apparently its not going to be Titanfall 3. So an expansion to Titanfall 2 that continues the story and adds new stuff could be a possibility. Its essentially like hl2 had episodes instead of a new game
fine by me to be honest I'm not sure they could top tf2 beside small tiny changes
Robert Roberts
probably my second favorite next to scorch, patrician taste
Carson Martinez
already did
Juan Wood
Yeah improving the small things seems to be the only option left now. I could see them adding new pilots and new weapons, maybe even new Titans, but thats all for new content..
