I guess the same applies to those shitting on the game they haven't yet played.

Like when people made comments about how crap Knack was because of reviews before the PS4 was released. Stop defending the game like people are attacking your own personal honour. Many here are disappointed that for the next big game for the Xbox One (PC and 360), the 'stand out' game, that they are still playing 6 vs 6 games, AI Cloud bots or not. Maybe it will be enough but they wanted the game to 'stand out'. If by what the developer says above is right with the AI 'bots', then it seems good but if the game can handle dozens more AI bots many might wonder why it can't handle many more players.

Yeah, criticising a game that you have no idea how the atmosphere is or the scale of gameplay is just dumb. I know a few people at PAX Prime that loved it, and "player count" isn't brought up as a complaint at all. BTW Titanfall's  killcounter goes all the way up to the first team to 200 kills wins. And that's in like 15 minutes. That means its moving super fast.

I'm pretty sure that this a multiplayer only game.

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.

I can't see you lasting long on this site.

Well it is also pretty normal to expect an increased player count when you move a new gen.  I would honestly dissapointed if Halo 5 would not have a incread player count in MP..
