Wow I can't imagine what the player count would be without that cloud power.
Potentially 2 vs 2 with AI bots.
Thanks you based Micrsofts for clouds.

Seriously guys, this cloud power thing is ridiculous. You're downplaying the game for utterly stupid reason.

The power of the cloud you speak of didn't prevent Battlefield 4 to be 32v32 on XBO.

Enough with the ridiculous agenda.

Xbox 360 version confirmed balanced at 6v6 players.

This game won't cause trouble to Battlefield 32vs32 (next gen) or 16vs16 (PS360) confirmed.

Theyre explaining in some very elaborate ways that they made the maps too small for any more than 6vs6? =P
and added bots to make casual players feel awesome

I like the arrogant attitude of the responses, though. :D

Why couldn't they just add something like 12vs12 and let people decide the player count when hosting a server or joining a server with lower count?

I could see the 36One versions being capped at this, but to cap the PC version at this too is .... not right.

Is this why everyone here thinks Titanfall is like COD?

Does noone on VGC actually realsise that Titanfall is the new kind of SP/MP type of game. The reason why its a new type of game and why Cloud was important? Its running hundreds of individual AI in Campaign on the Cloud among other things.

I thought VGC used to be a place of people who knew this stuff?

No wonder the silly COD comments are cropping here. People think this title is a Firefight. Sigh.

I'm kinda spoiled by planetside 2, so 6v6 is too low for me. Then again, I'm not that hyped for this game.

This should be in the MS section by the way.

Its completely Xbox Live exclusive. Even on PC.

This thread has been interesting. Everyone not on XBOX side of things is disappointed and everyone who has some sort of xbox is pretty okay with this. PC players also seem kind of mellow but they usually love bigger is better.

As for me, this is completely okay. Despite, Call of Duty having a ground war mode with 18 players. Most people, ended up playing modes like team death match and other 6 vs 6 modes. Considering this has those titan things running around along with human players. It should be chaotic enough with the player count.

Anyways here is the response of Respawn PR team on that other site...

"Lots of armchair game designing going on in here. I'd suggest playing before judging a something as insignificant as a number in a vacuum.

Vince is right - we tried a huge amount of playercounts (all the way down to 1v1 and up quite high) and designed the maps, gameplay mechanics, and entire experience around which played best. If anyone wants to chase the numbers game, perhaps we're not the experience they're after? I dunno.

And FYI, for amount of stuff happening at once in a map you'll be hard pressed to find a game that keeps the action higher. I literally have to stop playing every few rounds because my heart just can't take it some times. Remember, you can get out of your Titan and let it roam on AI mode - meaning there can be 12 Pilots wallrunning around, 12 Titans stomping below, and dozens of AI doing their thing.

Oh, and I keep seeing people thinking we've got "bots" when we talk about AI. Thats not how they are. The AI in Titanfall are not replacements for human players. Our playercount is not 6v6 because of AI - AI play their own role in the game and are a different class of character in the game.

Can't wait! Only a couple months until speculative threads like this are gone and people are actually talking about their experiences with the game. Its truly fun stuff, and I hope everyone at least gives it a try. "

Cheers.

6 vs 6 is really damn low. Sure, you could say that you like smaller battles, but even then it would be better to have higher maximum and let the people play on servers with lower player count if they wish to. Like with battlefield, you don't have to play with 64 players, you can also play 4 vs 4, 8 vs 8 or 16 vs 16.

But anyway, let's just wait for the final product, maybe it will be fun after all. I also had a blast with Killzone Mercenary and there you have only 4 vs 4 battles. It can be fun with less players no doubt, but it still doesn't sound very encouraging to me.
