From my 5 min of searching, it looks like a small scale (i.e. team size on par with a Battlefield game, not open world like a mmo) multiplayer pvp shooter game, on par with Tribes Ascend, but with mechs. Correct? No persistant world like Planetside 2 is there?
Is there anything that sets this game apart from other shooters (Tribes, Battlefield, etc.) other than the mechs?
Thanks!

There is a AI component that makes it seem much larger scale than 6 vs 6. When you're not in your Titan, it's still fighting. you can parkour your way around the map while not in the titan and even jump on the enemy's titans in an attempt to fuck them up hand-on style. It's almost like Call of Duty multiplayer but with huge mech suits in the mix.
It is multiplayer only, but they've stated that there is a story being told through the multiplayer.
I'm excited for the game based on press reactions and the videos. Holy shit the game looks fun. But I'm going to wait to see how the PC launch goes before picking it up. The studio has good pedigree in terms of its team, but this is their first title as a group and it's on EA servers. So launch could very well go horribly.

Thanks. Sounds like it will be good for those who like those sorts of games. I'll probably pass unless a regular group gets going. And PC.

I preordered it for 2 reasons: 1- I have an XBOX One and there are next to no titles out for it. 2) It looks fun.

I love FPS games so I'm in. When I can't spend hours online FPS games are good quick fixes.
Although I think Bungine's Destiny is going to blow Titanfall away, I'm still buying a PC copy of Titanfall. It was a ton of fun.

I've NEVER had so much fun with a multiplayer shooter than I have in Titanfall. Seriously, the game is a blast even when you're losing! It really feels like a combination of Mirror's Edge, CoD and Mechwarrior. All the combat feels great, and the little skits that the minions do are great and offer a level of world building I've never seen in an MP shooter.
What's funny to me is I play titanfall entirely differently than other shooters. Usually I'm "sniper-guy" picking folks off from the backline. But in Titanfall the movement feels so good I'm actually the super-fast sub-machine or shotgun guy. Nothing is more satisfying than picking off a pilot as you zip by at lightning speed doing a wall run. ^_^

I sucked really bad, buried at the bottom and far away from the next teammate on the ladder, but it WAS fun. That Polygon article makes a lot of sense, too. I keep forgetting to get OUTSIDE the titan XD

The problem with getting out of the Titan is that, even though it has Guard Mode, it's pretty much a sitting duck and won't last long, since it doesn't dodge or move. It just stands there and shoots back.
Of course even if it lasts 30 seconds, that's 30 seconds when the bad guys probably aren't shooting at you!
