How many people are already getting bored with the multiplayer? I know I got bored with the beta hella fast. Killing twice as many AI bots as humans in an online multiplayer game = boring as f***. This game could be so good if they would just make a human-only mode where Titans aren't handed out to people like candy. I like a little bit of competitiveness in my FPS games and until Respawn can deliver on their requests and make a bot-free more competitive game mode, I'm not buying it.
There's more than enough competition in TF. Bots don't damage that as they count for less points anyway. The true grit of the game is pilot against pilot. Maybe you just aren't very good yet. The game has a learning curve and you find a balance between bots, pilots, and titans. Truly loving the game so far.
That's fine if you love the game the way it is, but like I said personally I want a bot-free experience. I get no satisfaction out of killing bots that aren't even a threat to me. In fact, killing them is so unsatisfying that it's practically anti-satisfying. When I'm running around in Titanfall doing nothing but killing bots and not finding any pilots, I feel like I'm completely wasting my time because there's no challenge or competition factor there. There's no stimulation. I feel like I'm playing target practice half of the time when playing Titanfall.
I don't see why Respawn can't make a bot-free 12v12 playlist. There's no excuse. They could just limit the amount of Titans per team on the map at once to 3-4 or something. Or hell, they could just make the Titans actually a CHALLENGE to get to begin with. Why does EVERYONE need to get handed a Titan even if they're doing nothing to help the team win? That makes the Titans seem like a joke. The fact that everyone gets a Titan no matter what, even if you intentionally let the other team kill you over and over, makes getting your Titan and using it less satisfying to me. At least in COD you had to earn your giant killing machines, in Titanfall they're handed out like candy and it ruins the fun of using them. Kind of how the pilot-vs-pilot action is a lot of fun but when the match is over and I see I got 14 pilot kills and 30 bot kills, it kind of ruins the match for me.
Hey, to each his own, but thats cool. Likely Respawn will craft a Pilot only mode at some point. I'm not really interested din it, but gamers like you are. And like you said, I doubt it would be hard to implement that.
