Game is simply amazing. It actually lives up to the fucking hype.

The thing most impressive to me is how refined and smooth everything is. This is why I hope CoD returns to a more simplified design. Everything in the game seems like they worked on it until it was perfect and then they moved on to something else.

The movement as a pilot feels incredible. It really breaks the barriers of the typical corridor MP shooter like COD/Killzone/BF because you can virtually run and wall jump and double jump to anywhere you might wanna go. And it's all so smooth. I actually prefer to be a pilot so far in the beta as opposed to calling in Titan's, just because it's so much fun. Not to say Titans are bad, but being in one makes you a huge target and everyone guns for you. They move great too though. Dashing around is fun as hell, and Titan v Titan combat is extremely tactical.

The game's AI does just what Respawn described it would. Not only do they control the flow of combat, they eliminate things like campers. When opponents are AI farming your grunts it can lead to losses, so enemies tend to come out and try to stop you from doing it. This has actually happened to me twice in the beta so far, the match started with my opponents camping on rooftops trying to pick people off from afar but we got in 2 or 3 Titans before they got a single one because we kept killing the AI so they all had to jump down and fight. It doesn't feel cheap either, I was just in a match where the enemy team had over 240 points and were about to win and we stormed back to make it 249-249 and they won 250-249 off an AI kill. No fucks were given.

Shotgun is beastly. Just devastating at close range. That's another thing the game has over other shooters imho, the guns feel so meaty when you hit people. Being able to gib people doesn't hurt either.

We should get some VGC parties going for this game.

Even though I camp on COD, I don't on Halo and this sounds wonderful. You are the first person I've seen talk about the AI in this way too and it seems such a simple yet logical approach. So I suppose you won't be backing down from the GOTG tag you've given the game anytime soon....LMAO.
