Good grief, was that written directly by EA?

He hasn't played Titanfall, yet he's certain it's "wonderfully balanced and poised online play that caters to every type of FPS player"? That "Respawn have obviously found the ideal equilibrium between humans and AI"?

No, we don't know if any of that is true.

First of all, we won't know if it's balanced for quite a long time. A lengthy Beta will help but that never, ever locates every balance issue. Pilots and Mecha being so fundamentally different will make balance tweaks common, most likely. There will be a configuration that's over-powered at launch and another that's the weakest at launch, that's inevitable.

As for online play that caters to everyone, we shall see. Pilot combat seems way to twitch for me, I have very little interest in that. Mecha combat seems a bit more strategic but it's way too soon to tell.

Blind hype articles like this do more harm than good.
