How did this game fail?

[Captain]

Im doing the campaing rn cause I wanna get used to weapons and controls b4 jumping in multiplayer, but it alrdy feels ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 10/10, how did this game went bad???

[tekko]

idk for sure but it's related to bad release date

[tekko]

I saw video about it on YT many years ago

i got released in the same week with COD and Battlefield so nobody played this game they all played Cod or Battlefield instead this game never even had a chance to live

It released in between Battlefield 1 and Infinite Warfare, EA wanted Respawn to delay it but they said no. Also the matchmaking was terrible on launch, you'd spend 5 minutes queuing to play a 5 minute long game.

The game was released at a ♥♥♥♥ time, between BF1 and IW. Therefore its popularity at the beginning was impacted, due to this the games popularity and player base began to disperse over the years especially after the release of Apex and was basically left behind with many people not even knowing that this game exists. The games servers were almost always quite mediocre in player quantity even in 2017/18 (on console at least) and have experienced a huge downfall ever since. Not because the game is bad but simply because of a lack of updates and lack of publication of content on YouTube/internet which meant people forgot about the game and then just moved on to others.

It's a good game, but people get bored quickly, if you look at it almost everyone has less than 20 hours of gameplay.

was released in the wrong time and place. released between titans of the industry (cod and battlefield). was not released on steam for years. people were still not fan of the futuristic movement and had this negative stigma toward the game without spending enough time with it (you can blame cod) the game looks like grey shooter in space, what was a something people sick of back then like they are so sick of cartoony shooters now a days.

TF2 got:-
>great gunplay and punchy guns.
>a modern classic campaign.
>did something no other shooter did by having two type of combat on two different level (advanced nimble pilot movement and slow hefty titans combat)
>an actual interesting and bit grounded universe (before the late Apex lore ruined it)

you want a proof that this game could be great. look no further than apex. a gutted down version of TF2.

Respawn wanted EA to delay it.

Apparently at the time of release suffered a lot of hacks or software attacks or something like that i don't know the terminology. It slowed the developing pace of the game and people slowly turned away from the game. Its a shame as i personally find it much better than Call of Duty atleast the more modern versions.

it was released together with battlefield 1 and kinda got overlooked and then the servers got hacked and u couldnt play the multiplayer anymore, all in all its pretty sad

The release window excuse is cope. Game was an xbox/pc exclusive so no one on playstation even knew what it was, and despite the game being in a decent state today, the release balance was awful with ttk so fast it discouraged even attempting the games movement mechanics.

Don't bother with Mp, its real bad

bad release date, no micro transactions, no loot boxes, free rewards and unlocks didn't make EA enough money, so they gave up pretty quickly, and even faster after they discovered the money printer that is apex legends 3 years later, the game was amazing when it came out back in 2016, and is still amazing today, if EA were smart they'd make another because this could've and still can compete with any other shooter, but sadly, it's EA, rest in peace titanfall

It had a bad release date and then shortly after going live a dude who failed at going pro in TF1 started to DDoS the servers for TF1 and TF2. TF1 is 100% unplayable still. Then when the source leak happened that made Team Fortress 2 unsafe people were able to get your IP address to DDoS you personally while playing Titan Fall 2. There was also a bug where if you were waiting for a match for about 3 minutes the game would disconnect you. This made it impossible to play with friends, because everyone had a different 3 minute timer, and a pain to set up your pilots/titans. It also made the PVE mode impossible to play because it counted the waiting screen there as part of the 3 minute timer.

Respawn finally fixed the servers. People have been wanting to play but instead of fixing the servers Respawn focused on Apex. They finally applied the server fixes they used on Apex to TF2. Now the online is playable without needing to use Northstar or just automatically jumping into find a match and praying you find one before your timer hits 0.
