Talk:Titanfall 2

Recent History
I think there should be s "Recent History" or "Legacy" section that details the DDOS attacks, followed by the release of the Northstar client for Titanfall 2. I will work on this section myself. 73.225.37.76 (talk) 23:18, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Hold the phone
Wait until we get more info released before an article is framed. Zero Serenity (talk - contributions) 16:31, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Lede
, re:, see Knight Lore or Killer Instinct Gold, for recent examples. It's bad form to just shove the dev/pub in the opening sentence because other articles do it. The lede is supposed to introduce the topic's importance. That it's a sequel is more pertinent than most of the other stuff currently in the lede. I think the opening will improve as the article expands (and will work itself out), but I also think you should revert your change. czar 04:55, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I disagree with this, and don't see how it's any better than the one had edited. There are tons of other featured game articles that don't do this, so I don't see why we're forcing a new standard when the one used in the majority of them works well enough. ~ Dissident93  ( talk ) 08:34, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it is a standard. I don't see any problem with listing both developer and publisher in the opening sentence. AdrianGamer (talk) 13:14, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * ...there isn't one way to write the opening sentence of the lede—it's prose, not a formula. czar  14:44, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Source dump
I've been getting notifications about this game for over a year now, but I likely won't be working on it any time soon. Just dumping a few of what I thought to be the better links here, if someone wants to use them for expansion: czar 00:32, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

legacy section?
In the years since release the game has come to be widely known as one of the best games of the previous decade, (PC Gamer, Edge, the majority of others) and the time traveling mission is widely hailed as a classic... but I don't see any sections regarding the influence of the game / people's thoughts on it years later.

I'm slightly surprised there isn't some type of legacy section discussing the influence of the game / thoughts on it since release.

Titanfall 2 DDoS Attacks
I think that there should be a new section added mentioning these attacks. I am hearing a lot about Titanfall 2 being almost unplayable right now due to frequent DDoS attacks, and it has been documented a lot by journalists, so it should definitely be added here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PS4Fanboy1232 (talk • contribs) 17:31, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Please feel free to provide some sources from WP:VG/RS. What I had read thus far were about Titanfall 1 and Apex Legends. I have not personally read anything regarding Titanfall 2 issues yet. -- ferret (talk) 17:35, 10 July 2021 (UTC)


 * The Titanfall subreddit is full of sources. The game is currently unplayable on console as of January 8th 2022 and on PC only via a mod called Northstar that provides community hosted dedicated servers. 46.114.142.114 (talk) 12:11, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Those are not usable sources on Wikipedia. See WP:USERG. -- ferret (talk) 14:55, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
 * - Hi! I have seen that you have added the part about broken multiplayer. It should not be in the gameplay section. It should be part of the release section (you can see that there is one sentence at the bottom of that section which explains the state of the game). You can expand on that by adding your content, but you need to support them with secondary reliable sources. Something similar to this and this. OceanHok (talk) 09:53, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Content creation and the titanfall 2 community
I believe we should add a section on how the titanfall 2 community has evolved over the years, and on prominent content creators (e.g. Iniquity, Moden, Smurfson, Ttgolll, Synthali to name a few). Ich Bin Der Titan (talk) 01:45, 14 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Unless covered by reliable sources, that content does not belong here. -- ferret (talk) 13:52, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

New gamemodes
So far, there actually has been some new gamemode for titanfall 2 as of recently, shouldn't it be included within the multiplayer section? Ihavenoideas1 (talk) 03:26, 6 October 2023 (UTC)


 * @Ihavenoideas1 There should also be a section noting the cryptic messages that some people are attributing to a third installment or something else important, as well as a list of all the sudden changes relevant. 2600:1006:B133:7AAE:6559:A167:B4E7:E0DF (talk) 16:14, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Good point, like within the Apex Legends patch notes, as of recently, at the bottom there are 3 numbers with within Unix time numbers that correspond of release of Titanfall, Titanfall 2, and Apex. Updating this later, this seems only to be as the 7th year since this game released. Ihavenoideas1 (talk) 04:23, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

A few minor fixes in important information
I believe that there are several things that could be smoothed out, corrected, or added. Please let me know if there is anything wrong with these edits, or if you have any other short things that could be fixed here.

1. In paragraph 2, Stephen Barton is mentioned as returning to do the game’s music without any further information. I believe an alternative sentence would be, “Stephen Barton, who composed Titanfall’s soundtrack, returned to compose music for its successor.”

2. In paragraph 4, it says that the grappling hook can, “reel its user to an enemy it attaches to.” This can be true, but only when grappling onto reapers and titans. When grappling anything smaller, it will come to the user.

3. In paragraph 5, it says that the monarch can heal, but does not mention its ability to upgrade.

4. In paragraph 6, the information that new loadouts appear as the weapons could be added.

5. In paragraph 7, it says that legion's smart core can lock onto titans and reapers, but it can also lock onto everything else.

6. Finally, in paragraph 7, it says that the titan battery can heal shield, but does not say it can heal health as well. Raven 297 (talk) 19:18, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
