What's would folks like to see?:
- Another new map
- Changes with existing maps
- Higher player count along with quads
- More legends per season
- Rank system overhaul
- New guns not a sniper or package drop only
- Quality of life improvments (like symbol next to teammate portrait showing ability/Ult availability)
- Dropping with p2020 or Mozambique.
- New game modes not necessarily BR like a plunder or control area mode.
Maybe I look at it wrong but if they keep this same cycle of content it's going to slowly lose players returning and popularity. They need bigger and unexpected changes. Currently the content is good but they are playing it safe with content.
I got tired of Apex rather quick. I hopped back in because I upgraded my PC. While I definitely enjoy the gameplay, I find a lot of what surrounds the game lacks the potential I want in a BR game. My biggest issues are around the necessity of full squads, the horrendous third partying, the pacing, and the loot RNG.
Coming off Warzone, it feels like they completely nailed a lot of the issues of BR. They limit loot RNG, they create an in-game economy that gives players more control, they start players off with pistols, the action feels consistent, and due to combinations of TTK/map design, you dont feel so crippled if your team dies.
I wish Apex's map was somehow able to limit the third partying, but it seems impossible. I dont mind getting 3rd partied, but its just so easy to prey on players engaged in fights. I dont know why the game doesnt have some kind of siphon system for armour. The Evo Shield feels like an awesome addition that somewhat seems to do that, but its not exactly a direct response to 3rd partying.
I definitely want higher player counts because I feel this game doesn't feel like a big BR game. But more players dont fit with the existing maps, at least not Kings Canyon.
Pretty much yes to all of what you said.
I still think they can completely refresh the game with a solo mode that does the following:
-No Legends
-Introduce Pilots or some generic character
-Highly customizable (gender, race, robot, attire)
-Maybe start players with a Legend's passive at best, no ultimates or tactical, BUT make them pick up items for added gameplay variety
-Maybe too far, but bring back wall running
I know Im asking for a lot from Titanfall, but I really think the one area that hasn't been cornered by BR is something Apex already has, and that's something truly high speed, arena-based BR.
No being restricted by teammates, just full out freedom to run and gun.
Id also like to see them ape Warzone's cash system to use around spawn beacons so that you can buy weapons/attachments and limit the RNG.
I really think this needs to be its own cemented mode.
