Titanfall 2: What Went Wrong? 

I would like to address my comment about the Titans being “overpowered.” There are clearly ways for experienced pilots to take down titans, and it isn’t that difficult with enough practice, but from the perspective of a business, this game has such an insane skill curve that could’ve potentially turned off a lot of players from continuing playing the game. This video wasn’t me explaining why I think Titanfall is BAD (which I don’t, I genuinely think it’s an underrated gem) I was just trying to explain why I think it didn’t succeed as some would have hoped. People who have deduced that I just need to “get gud” have missed my main point of the video, and that’s partially my fault, but in the end of the day it was just my opinion. Thank you for watching, and for those of you who respectfully disagreed in the comments without resorting to calling me “bad” or “stupid,” y’all are dope ❤️

Macro: "noooo you can't just fight titans as a pilot" Me: "haha, charge rifle go BRRRRR"

“The thing that killed Titanfall 2 was the Titans” The thing that killed Doom was the Demons

“You are no match for a Titan” Bro that’s literally the point

"You are no match for a titan" Literally everyone who has played this game: *Laughs in charge rifle, grappling hook and battery stealing*

"its impossible to kill a titan as a pilot" me: *professional battery robber*

Macro: Titans killed Titan fall *Macro has alerted the hoard*

Fighting Titian’s as a pilot isn’t that difficult. In fact, I probably kill more Titian’s as a pilot than I do in my Titian. Charge rifle with charge hack deals more damage than most Titian primaries. Your advanced mobility also makes it near impossible for other Titian’s to fight back. It’s free kills all day.

Excuse me, fighting titans as a pilot is one of my favorite parts

"You can't kill a titan as a pilot" *laughs in MGL*

“The thing that killed Titan Fall 2 is the titans” “The thing that killed FIFA was the soccer”

God knows how many times I’ve replayed the TF2 campaign it never gets old

"You cant fight against titans" My anti-titan loadout suggests differently

"No matter how good you are at zipping and zooming you're no match for a titan" *Me who must've imagined dooming multiple titans from full health by zipping and zooming :* hm.

"You are no match for a titan" They give you the means to take out titans with the anti titan weapons but in Titanfall 1's tutorial they say something along the lines of "taking on a titan alone with an AT weapon is a bad idea" That's the point of titans

How to destroy a titan in Titanfall 2 (as a pilot) 1. Remove their battery 2. Use the archer

"Fighting titans as a pilot is impossible" Pilots are the main things a titan fears, they can actually take you out with ease

"tHe tItaNs aRe oveRpoWeRed." *laughs in always getting my titan killed by a swarm of pilots using anti titan weapons and stealing my batterys*

Dawg it was released in between COD and Battlefield... that’s it. That’s the only thing that went wrong!

He says "Fighting a titan as a pilot is difficult" the same way some say:" Dark souls is too hard, it needs an easy mode". What is the point of easily killing a titan as a pilot. Titan vs titan and pilot vs pilot, you can't just go thete and expect to kill a titan with 3 shots of anti-titan weapon. As for the title i would change it in:"Why titanfall 2 is underrated?" And there you should say:"because it webt on the store with Battlefield and CoD. Titanfall is unique in it's class because it has titans, they are the winning card not the other way.

Just wanna say real quick: The implementation of grunts and other AI enemies is kind of genius. It makes the maps feel less empty, if the enemy team has a lot of titans you can still earn points to get one, newer players get a sense of doing good meanwhile more experienced players see them as free points.

i hate that every shooter wants to be the next big esports game . i like tf2 because its focused on fun more than anything else

The one word that would make any titanfall player with decent morals pissed: *S P I T F I R E*

Titans are overpowered? Shit when I get in a titan I can't help but feel like galliard when he saw all the scouts coming at him

Pilots can’t kill titans says this dude Me: *laughs in thunderbolt*

Short answer: bad release time. Long answer: it was realesed between bf1 and infinete warfare, therefore it kinda flopped. Oh if your asking about titanfall 1? It had its own release time, therefore making it more popular because it wasn't released between 2 very popular game series.

My absolute favorite part of titan fall 2 was taking on titans. Being that one motherFu*** nobody can swatt is incredibly fun. The little guy vs the world feeling is unmatched. The more attention you pull the better your team does.

"You're no match for a titian" It seems I'm no longer a man

Can we get an F in the chat for those who never got to play Titanfall 2

Fighting a titan as a pilot is not fun. Me: ʟᴀᴜɢʜs ɪɴ ʙᴀᴛᴛᴇʀʏ sᴛᴇᴀʟɪɴɢ

“It had an identity crisis” A skill curve related to mechanics that can make you competitive isn’t an identity crisis. Respawn themselves stated from day 1 that with Titanfall they didn’t want to make the game series competitive in the esports scene. It’s just meant to be a fun time that you can take to the next level if you so desire

The story mode was acc pretty good, especially the time travel level, that was god level

Any good player knows how easy it is to bully a titan, especially on maps with lots of buildings like angel city.

Still love how the games balanced with the idea of “nothing’s overpowered if everything’s overpowered”

Me when Titanfall first came out: These titans are pretty cool Me playing Titanfall now: *B I G J U M P*

"why Titanfall 2 didn't do a comeback?" It did.

I agree with everything you said except the point about the Titans. Whilst, yes, when the enemy has all their titans it can feel very overwhelming, but it still doesn't feel like you're completely powerless when going up against them. The Anti-Titan weapons can whittle them down fairly well, and some of the ordnance like the firestar or the arc grenade can be used to stun or blind titans to give you a small window of opportunity for you to get close and steal their battery. Granted, you're still at a disadvantage, but goddamn it feels so amazing when you manage to take down a titan yourself. Like an actual David vs. Goliath moment. Which is why I pretty much never play anything else other than attrition (totally not because it's the most popular gamemode and I'm not arsed to wait forever to find a game) BTW, any Scorch mains in the chat?

I love Titan fall so this is great to see

“What helped titanfall die is the titans” Pilots vs pilots: *allow me to introduce myself*

me watching this when titanfall has made a massive comeback

macro: you are no match to a titan me: *laughs in charge rifle kills*

"you can't kill a Titan as a pilot" Laugh with c4 and the thunderbolt

"YOU TRYING TO STEAL MY TITANS!? STEAL MY LOOT!?" I love the titans and I dont think they detract from the game.

This guy really played a few hours, got his ass kicked by a smart pistol and a tone main, and decided it was unbalanced...

macro: the titans are just fun, but their impossible to kill as a pilot Also macro: standing still in the open firing the charge rifle like it were a sniper in front of 2 enemy titans

"You cant kill a titan as a pilot" Hehe battery go bye bye and titan go boom

I actually had a lot of fun taking on titans as a pilot

“What went wrong with titanfall” Nothing, Nothing went wrong

Macro: "you can't kill a titan as a pilot" me: laughs in cloak, thunderbolt, quick deploying titan, EPG,enhanced weapons and slower titan detection speed.

Titanfall two is probably the best FPS shooter i've ever played with an amazing campaign that was the reason for my first platinum trophy on playstation. It's Insanely fun and versatile but I cant say I agree with you on the titan part of the game. As a pilot, you always have a secondary and an anti-titan weapon in your class, this weapons are not even near underpowered and some of them can bring titans down in a minute or less, but that depends on the skill of the person using that weapon, if they're smart enough they'll get to a high place with no angle for the titans to shoot at them, if the titans are smarter they'll reposition or even get out of the titan if they're to annoying just to kill them. In this game you have options and a lot of ways to approach situations not only as a pilot but as a titan and even though not all players are born with this ability you certainly can learn to play, just like any other game. On a side note, if you run around just killing grunts the only thing you're going to accomplish is losing your team the game and yourself xp, as it's just a really slow and annoying way of getting points and its ultimately not worth it. I think that the main problem with the player base is due to the little to no advertising this game had. Loved your review and I hope to see more of your videos soon

Once apon a time a boy used to love apex because the movement mechanics then He played titanfall 2 once and He never played Apex again...

"Not fun to fight against" they're meant to be giant frick off death machines, so kill some grunts and players, avoid the titans, get your own titan, and kill 'em, or, just bait rodeo, then use your anti-titan

When I’m in my titan im more scared of pilots than I am other Titans lmao 😂. Wtf does he mean Titans are overpowered?

“You can’t kill a Titan as a pilot” Me: *Cries because I’ve lost my Scorch to Thunderbolts, Charge Rifles and MGL’s too damn often*

Timing your jump just right barley dodging a Titan melle and stealing their battery was a great feeling.

It's challenging..that's what I want.

I feel like you haven’t played the game enough to realize how easy it is to kill a titan as a pilot

"You are no match for a titan" Me: Laughs in amped weapons

One of my favorite moments that happens a surprising amount of time is when you barley save your teams Titan by jumping on the back unnoticed and joinking the power it is crazy when it happens

Well, it's making a comeback now!

"Titans are no fun playing against" * coughs in grapple and AoT fans *

"tHe tItaNs aRe oveRpoWeRed." Archer: haha sure

titan fall on steam, apex showing titanfall to the player, titanfall being a best seller on steam:allow us to introduce ourselves

The greatest feeling is when you destroy a titan as a pilot

Macro: You cant kill a titan as a pilot Me shoving a grenade into a titan: Yall hear sumin

“You can’t kill a titan with a pilot” I can easily single- handedly kill an Atlas or maybe even an Ogre class titan with a firestar, thunderbolt and EPG.

Installed Titanfall today and spent last 4 hours in multiplayer having so much fun that I can't wait till tommorow to play again.

Nothing is scarier than being Ronin and seeing a Pilot run at u

Ok, I have never seen any other of your videos and I just got this recommended since YT is a mystery. I am a big fan of the Titanfall series and I've been playing since launch of TF2. Here is my issue with the video: It appears to me as if you've missed the point of balancing a game. A well balanced game shouls be fun for everyone no matter the skill level. The grunts are there so that even fresh players get the satisfaction fo getting kills even if its only on bots. While better players can easily take lead killing other players. Killing grunts definetly doesn't overweigh the points u get from killing pilots. Thanks to the faced paced combat you get kills at speeds you could never achieve in other games. You mentioned the SP and that its noob focused. The SP is one of the flagship relics in the TF franchise. IMO (This is really controversial) its not OP. Any good player can take an SP pilot out. As the pilot makes a massive red target on the enemies screen. There is more than enough time for the pilot to turn around and get the kill before the SP can fully lock on You pointed out that there is no fun playing against a titan as a pilot. Thia ia just a no from me. Some of the most adrenalin filled moments that I had with this games were just escapes againts all odds when fighting a titan as a pilot. Are the titans Power Fantasies? Yes. Are they OP? Definetly not. If anything the titans are underpowered. A single good pilot can take out a group of titans if he plays his cards right. All you need is a bit of skill and map knowledge and suddenly you kill titan after titan while flying around the map at top speeds.

Titanfall is the older brother who has to see his younger sister getting more attention than him

Titans? Mean giant targets? Fun seeing this after the game's resurgence

Titanfall is like the forgotten middle child of respawn and apex is the Little Brother that gets everything

"You are no match for a titan." *Laughs in SMR with amped weapons plus MGL and titan meter*

"Pilots are no match for a titan" Laughs in fire star and rocket launcher

Titans vs pilot are my favorite moments in this game because its always a treat to watch David take on Goliath and win. And its also really fun for Goliath to squash pesky David like an ant.

“You’re no match for a Titan” 2 things, bruh that’s the point, and even still you can quite easily kill a Titan with even a slight bit of skill

“A call of duty arena shooter” my dude you don’t seem to understand. The entire point is that pilots can cause massive damage to a lone titan, even one pilot can cause massive damage to a titan. Titanfall isn’t meant to be a “call of duty arena shooter” it’s meant to be titanfall.

Macro: "no matter how good you are at zipping and zooming, you're no match for a Titan" Grapple gang: we'll see about that

Fighting any Titan as a Pilot is a challenge and I accept the challenge every time.

Today one of my friends asked me *Get ready* "How do you wallrun and slide with the titan??"

“You are no match for a titan” Fool, little did you know you can “easily” takedown a titan with pure speed and confusion, going faster than they can even react Oh, and I guess you can add a bit of anti-titan to the mix

"You are no match for a titan" Laughs in low profile, grapple and archer

Yeah I was with you all the way on the video untill the end. Some of the most fun I had in this game was fighting mechs as a pilot. Squirreling and dodging onto their backs again and again untill the blow up.

Christmas 2017 I unboxed this and I have been hooked ever since

"Can't fight a titan as a pilot" he says, oh ho ho my friend, you clearly have not mastered the way of the charge rifle

i feel like how they handled microtransactions deserved to be talked about short form bloody fantastic

"People vs people call of duty style" This isen't call of duty macro. THIS ISEN'T CALL OF DUTY! THIS IS TITAN FALL 2 WHERE WE FIGHT GIANT MECHS WITH A LASER AND GO ON A KILL STREAK WITH A PISTOL!

Playing as a Pilot vs a titan well makes you feel like an AoT character

Ttianfall 2 is incredible but i'm not sure on your point of the Titans being the issue. When you're starting out, titans are terrifying and seeing one barrel down on you means instant death. When you get more experienced fighting a titan as a pilot requires a new skill set that needs to be learned and adapted to your particular pilot setup. Rodeoing, items, wall run escapes, and even you anti-titan weapons help make pilots sometimes more dangerous to titans than other titans themselves. Thanks for shining a spotlight, I wish more people got into the game (5 pounds for the ultimate edition on origin right now, check it out).And hopefully they can bring Titanfall 3 out with balance changes to get some of our Apex brothers and sisters involved.

The titans are what made titanfall unique though, I think most people who didn’t play the first game, and wasn’t familiar, bought the game for the appeal OF the titans, and I would objectively say that there are more people who enjoy titanfall, than apex. People who have played the first, or even just played titanfall 2 in the first place can look back and truly say it’s a masterpiece, even though the don’t play anymore. But the big spike at apex’s start, wasn’t looked back on as fondly by a big major of those players

I've been recommended this after watching you play and enjoy the campaign

1:42 Literally every Monarch when they see a doomed titan

"you cant fight titans as pilot" Me, an intellectual: *goes for third rodeo to same titan*

“You can’t fight titans as a pilot “ suuuuuuure “hides charge rifle “

I like all you are doing to revive titanfall I am a diehard fan of it and it’s my favorite game and to see awesome people like you try and revive it is always good to see new players in the community

"You are no match for Titans" Eren Jeager: *are you sure about that*

“Titans killed titanfall” What do you mean? They are so easy to kill as a pilot. You move way too fast for them to catch up to you and cloak makes you completely invisible to them. Just use grenadier and anti titan weapons with the amped mod and they dead. You clearly haven’t played the game enough to realize that.

The only thing that went wrong was release timing

I saw the title and in my head said nothing cause it is currently 5:00 in the morning and I only got 3 hours of sleep
