Titanfall 2 - Mobility and Momentum
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- One of Titanfall 2's main draws is its parkour system; wallrunning, sliding and bunnyhopping is a core focus of Pilot gameplay. In this video I run over how these sweet movement systems work and why they make the game so much fun.

Great video. Great game.
It’s nakey jakey
"I'm really shit at this game"
*All the footage shows you rocketing around the map like a pinball machine*
I dunno man, you could be a lot worse than I expected.
Fab video though
PencilManners if you've played the game, you'd know that moving around is easy
Considering I struggled to fill a 5 minute video with clips of me
playing well after around 30 hours of playtime I'd say I'm a bit shit.
Hey, at least you managed to master slide-hopping which I still can't willingly do. Both DOOM and Titanfall 2 are my pick for shooters this year. Both have awesome single player campaigns but it's TtF2's multiplayer that kept me coming back for more. Seriously, I've never stayed with a game's multiplayer mode for this long before.
So this is basically first-person Vanquish?
exactly what i thought. now i'm considering getting it.
Sounds like it. Based on what Turbo Button here is describing, even the advanced techniques in TF2 sounds like the boost cancelling stuff in Vanquish.
brightsuperstition 'TF2' refers to team fortress 2, go google he abbreviation, tell me what game pops up. Titanfall 2 will never be 10% as successful as team fortress
Well, it's not exactly the same kind of style. They both have very fun movement though, so you should get it
Ricardo Li and Team Fortress 2 will never be 10% as successful as Fortnite , your point being?
Reminds me of how the mastery of movement was absolutely necessary in Tribes Ascend... unless you played a heavy class. Heavy class was just like your slow plodding modern FPS and only required knowing when to jump and how to aim. Light and medium classes on the other hand required extensive knowledge of where to aim your straight-line firing explosives (spinfusors) because of how fast you were moving affected the speed of the projectile and where it would land. Not to mention that for the light and sometimes medium classes your goal was often not to kill others but to get the flag back to your team's stand as fast as possible. This required you to master the basis of moving fast in the game "skiing" knowing when to boost and how to land on a slope going downward to keep your speed.
Some of the most adrenaline pumping moments was when you are chased or chasing someone with the flag and are desperately trying to kill the guy or force him to drop/keep the flag before he made it back to his team's flag stand, and both of you are going 300 km/h (sanics) firing explosives that changed where they would land on a second to second basis because both of your speeds and direction where changing every moment.
Tribes... those were the best years. I wonder what it could have become if the devs weren't so shit at community management. Best MMOFPS in the world, wasted.
I found out about Tribes from Tribes:Ascend and that was well after most of the player base left, but even now I came back to play the few matches still running just because it's that fun and exhilarating. I'm really hoping Midair (a spiritual successor to Tribes) will be able to bring the idea back to life.
that jet set radio music
You have no idea how refreshing it is to not have someone shilling for their patreon at the end when all you need is that symbol to be shown, thank you for not treating your viewers like dumbasses.
Did you... did you just insert JSR music in a Titanfall video?
Subbed.
Your channel is criminally underrated, keep it up man.
Have you played smash bros melee competitively? Seems up your alley.
Ricky Johnson I'm not nearly good enough to play Melee competitively. And thanks.
My favorite thing about this game is the very low entry floor and the very high skill ceiling. I could argue that this game takes just as much skill or even more to master than say Halo, which is heralded as the 'ultimate skill fps'.
The low entry floor is way too true
I’m not the biggest fan of fps, not even in my top 3 favorite genres but I do play them because of the multiplayer, and my god is it so fucking refreshing to play an FPS where camping fucks you over
The slide in Wolfenstein was SO bad. :(
At least better than Far Cry's.
There is game called Dusk,and oh its movement speed is awesome,but there is no wall running and stuff
I've heard so many unexpected praises for this game I want to play it nowAlso love the JSRF song choice at the end ;)
JSRF “Concept of Love” is the perfect song for the fast pilot movement in this game xD
I would like to see a keyboard cam of you utilizing all of the movement skills while in combat and/or -- if you have an expensive keyboard -- a heat map of how often keys are pressed. Especially so if you could compare it to other mobility shooters like CoD or Wolfenstein. That kind of data interests me quite a bit and you seem to have hit the tip of the iceberg on the subject and, subsequently, why Titanfall 2 'feels' better to play than other mobility shooters.
"if you have an expensive keyboard" fuck you have no idea this PC is so fucking budget I got the keyboard for a tenner.
Turbo Button haha no judgement here. Mine is just as cheap 😂
One of the my most satisfying moments in one matched had me cornering a titan, jumping all over the place and constantly rodeoing it and shooting it with the anti-titan laser gun until I destroyed it. I don't know how I did it, maybe the titan player was just shit, but it was so satisfying taking on a (somewhat) full health piloted titan as only a pilot. I was able to use the movement system to dodge between melee and shots until I destroyed it
Just picked this game up. The pilot gameplay is incredible, but I'm kind of ambivalent toward using the mechs.
Ever thought about taking a look at Armored Core? Online is probably dead at this point but I think theres a lot to sink your teeth into under its surface.
Titanfall seems like a series that'll be gone for years but will gain cult status. At some E3 a new game will be announced and everybody will get hyped. Then we'll find out that it's a reboot and not being made by the same developers. When the reboot comes out we'll see that these new people have no idea what made the previous games good. You'll have no mobility options and it'll be entirely about the titans.
I'm currently designing my own game and this channel is an amazing inspiration!
The only complaint I have is that each video feels like an extended train of thought with once pace, one tone, and no breaks. Sometimes I'll finish a video and think: "I learned so much!" but then fail to recall exactly what it is that I learned since it all of the information was packed in one massive chunk. I think good example of varying pacing and tone is Egoraptor's "Sequelitis" series.
Regardless of whether I struggle to digest your content, it's still extremely insightful and mind-blowing!
Thanks! I'm glad to help.
And that genuinely is some good criticism that I haven't received before. I'm not exactly sure how I'd remedy such a problem but I've had similar concerns. Hope I can make it all easier to digest in future.
Looking forward to it!
Some kind of overview, perhaps? Like a quick summing up of what we've learned but subtle enough that it doesn't feel patronising?
Well, here's a suggestion. Maybe splitting videos into segments, each one dedicated to a certain topic, and then summing up all of them in the end would be a good way to drive the point home.
YAY IM FAMOUS 4.01
since you care about mechanics so much, make a video about rainbow six siege
no pls
I just finished the campaign and it was excellent. I'm not entirely sure, but does your health regenerate quicker when you're chaining movement abilities in the single player? I noticed you get shot less the more you move, which is a great way to encourage you to manoeuvre around rather than hiding behind objects.
Mr Know Nothing Health always regenerates at the same speed, and AI does tend to miss if you're moving quickly
that jsrf ending though!!
I understand what you're saying about movement feeling slow as soon as you try sprinting or shooting from the ground. I think if it wasn't that way though, that fun feeling of wallrunning or hopping would be lost. Imagine if you could play DOOM, and could slide or wallrun - but it didn't boost your already fast speed at all, and simply served as an equally-viable option to walking. Probably not an option so many people would go for.
Wow, an FPS that is not generic and it actually has a skill ceiling!?!?!? Didn't see that coming.
I just realized you're the SuperEyePatchWolf of video games
I'd like to see this kind of mobility system in a future Metroid game.
thats a great idea. I did love metroid, especially prime. one of the last games i enjoyed from Nintendo. could have been the next perfect dark for them. too bad their only concerned with scamming kids and hipsters into battle monsters and mobile devices.
So basically, if you have trouble trying to strafe jumping in Quake 3/Live, good luck you're gonna need it? Can't strafe jump in Quake, and can't keep up momentum in Titanfall 2. I having nothing against these types of games, i just suck at them.
So, basically, PVP Warframe with a grappling hook instead of a bullet jump and aim glide (the latter being basically an aerial slide and the former a jump that boosts your forward momentum from a slide). That sounds pretty damn good if you ask me, even if I'm not a shooter guy (even in Warframe, I'm a melee person.)
protip for pros, bind "hold to crouch" to an extra mouse button, hell go absolutely insane like I did and bind it to right click, ADS can suck my nuts as I use SMGs.
One of the most fun things for me was using stim and and mixing with wallruning to go across the map like I was sonic on steroids
You want them to make it so you can shoot while sprinting? Then there'd be no tradeoff, it's good for players to have to make that choice.
Also, while I'm no gun guy, I did go shooting the other day, and I can guarantee anybody shooting guns while they're sprinting around isn't going to hit much.
Obviously I recognize that isn't consistent with the fact you can shoot while boost sliding or wall running, but I still think it was a great design choice.
A modern FPS with movement mechanics that isn't tied to one button abilities with cool downs? This has got to be a joke right? And it was on a console? There's no way I mean modern FPS developers are shit when it comes to movement. It's either slow walking speed with a sprint or pretending to have depth by having a button that has a cd that makes you go fast or jump high.
You really should have a logo on your thumbnails for branding purposes - I often can't keep track of which channel name corresponds to what content, and I almost didn't click on this because I hadn't associated with your stellar analysis
Ah yes Titanfall 2, where the grappling hook is the only equipment and anyone who says otherwise is doing it wrong. Really sucks that EA killed this game out the gate by squishing it between infinite warfare and battlefield 1 especially when such attention to detail has been paid to the movement mechanics present in the game. I do hope a Titanfall 3 can rise out of the ashes and even further improve on this game.
Let's see
He calls the titans:
Hulking mechs
Iron giants
And colossal washing machines
Can we just call them titans? Lol
Also did i miss anything?
Excellent video man! You all need to check out quake 3 defrag because that's where this came from.
"There's clearly a skill ceiling here"
I think the people that have dedicated themselves to speedrunning the campaign or hell, even just the tutorial gauntlet would disagree, there is no limit to how good you can be.
Titanfall seems like a series that'll be gone for years but will gain cult status. At some E3 a new game will be announced and everybody will get hyped.

The hitscan part is a turn-off, but it's a concession to make the gamae more appealing to casuals on consoles. I wish this game had more singleplayer content. Apparently, you can finish the main campaign in like 6-7 hours and has little replayability apparently. If only the campaign was longer, had extra challenge mission and side content, then I'd get it.
What makes you think that all console players are casuals?
I can think of about one pro team that plays games on consoles (when they're multiplatform) and even they admit that they had a mechanical disadvantage.
Story mode is pure quality tho.
I got a titanfall 2 commercial before this video.
You get a like just for the video itself, but this comment is to show my appreciation just for the ending music alone.
man your analysis is as brilliant as your jokes (or the other way around whichever you find more flattering)
It's good to see quite a few of the big mainstream releases getting a lot right this year (watchdogs, titanfall, bf1 etc)
Free Runner from Black Ops 3 so This is Easy to Master
Its funny for me that people are lookin for what made the cod great back in the day and not many of them even think about how much faster it was compared to now! Ofcourse there was no boosting and that kind of stuff but it felt fast!
Great analysis of a key portion of this game's design. It deserved it
The campaign looks really fun.
I love this game, at least I want to love it, but I am utter shit with that bunnyhop thing... I can't make it work, and that puts you at a significant disavantage. On top of it the time to kill is fairly short, and it's very twitchy. Which leads to very frustrating games for me.
This game is amazing, but I am terrible at it :(
ill friendly 1v1 on ps4 anytime. sparring can be great practice. only way to be good at fighting games. testing things out with someone always helps too to find any possible settings you want to test.
Kinda sounds like if Attack on Titan got a video game
Just wondering here, is there any in-game experiment to figure out hitscan vs projectile weapons in games?
You just use the guns and figure it out. I'm sure you with your very apt human brain can discern a hitscan from projectile. Perhaps check the weapon description and see if it mentions something around the lines of 'fires projectiles'.
One of the greatest fps' of all time??
I cracked a big smile when I recognized the JSRF music. Nice touch.
This looks really neat, if they make a sequel that swaps the loadout stuff with pickups or at least removes hitscan it definitely looks like something I'd pick up. Though if that doesn't happen, hopefully someone makes a proper arena shooter with these movement mechanics.
Shout out to the Jet Set Radio Future music.
I love your channel! You're like nerdwriter1 for gamers :D
My thoughts in a nutshell. Great work!
Love your vids m8, keep it up
Huh reminds me of tribes a bit, I really should get around to picking this up at some point and having a proper go of it one weekend, thanks for the vid man.
As someone who has practiced this mobility system for the past year, it is amazing and totally worth the practice as it makes it so much fun to play
Hearing Concept of Love at the end makes me want to see you do a video on Jet Set Radio Future. :)
thank you for putting the jsr soundtrack lmao
they do provide the option for auto-sprint
The problem isn't pressing the button, the problem is the effects it has on slowing down movement while firing and to an extent its one-directional nature.
Hey. Great video, only little complaint is the music that starts at 5:01, just a little jarring to have the song vocals in the back while you're talking.
Eh, titanfall is shit anyway.
this game is.... to hard 4 me i get dizzzzziiiii
I'm thinking how can you eliminate hitscan weapons in modern FPSs?
why would you ?
Mauraaal Just a silly thought. What if games like CoD had Doom like projectile weapons...
There's tribes ascend that does that kind of, but with momentum and the like, because I think it wouldn't work without an improved movement system.
With all these games going sci-fi, it wouldn't be out of place to have games that shoot laser bolts that soar across the arena
Mark Brown Hmm... True that.
I'm waiting for CoD to go "pew, pew".
Still, unless you count out the simulations like ARMA, and games without SciFi, is it still possible to do so?
nobody played this game because it is more of a parkour racing game then shooter
no, it was because EA squished it between the release date of two other more mainstream shooters and people used their money for those other two. Being more of a parkour racing game is actually part of the main selling point.
There is nothing wrong with that style of gameplay, its part of what makes titanfall even more fun.
@@MokonaModokiES no they had two titanfall games both failed, you can not blame the release date or other games for the failure of your game EA used the same excuse for Battlefield V. The game is 70% running around bunny hopping even triple jumping and 30% shooting and almost no tactics in a shooter game it is not for everyone Titanfall 3 will show the same result. running around so fast in precision shooter is a bad idea make people feel like idiots when unable to hit anything they leave and the game is dead that is how it works
@@KingTairun the game is not dead there are a lot people still playing the game
@@KingTairun the game is far from dead buddy. There are still active lobbies to this day and they are fairly easy to get into. Probably the best multiplayer shooter
