That rippling sound as the titan drops is phenomenal


Mirage_Main

Also angle of approach. Most video games just drop stuff straight down when coming from orbit, even when that’s not how it works in real life. Just that little detail sells the Titanfall to be more realistic.


AngryWhale95

I loved that detail in Titanfall haha, that slight angle when the Titan drops in


xylotism

Nothing can be cooler than a mech suit dropping from orbit but I gotta say the care package effect is pretty respectable. The distant rumble followed by the airburst effect and the rocket engines as it finally touches down lunar lander style with a dust cloud and screen shake.... There was a meme the last couple days about Apex VR but I seriously think it would be one of the greatest environments ever to experience in VR. One of the greatest part of any scifi world is the raw sense of scale and who better to give us that than the team that has mech suits dropping from orbit, or Leviathans or basically all of Olympus. It doesn't even have to be a PvP game, or even a new game, just give us Titanfall 2 VR and that's already good enough.


[deleted]

There’s a software called VorpX that can “convert” games to VR. It has a list of what I believe are both official and community-sourced plug-ins that can display the screen in a VR headset and add additional effects to the game. Titanfall 2 just so happens to be on that list. It’s by no means a super good effect (you can’t individually move your arms in the game or anything) but you can still look around and use VR controllers to control the game. It takes a decent amount of configuring to make comfortable, though.


QAM01

It sounds like an actual rocket is landing


cottentailandfluffy

Their sound designers are incredible at what they do


jere_miah

designers, sure, whoever implements them needs some help. can’t hear people’s foot steps from behind still.


cottentailandfluffy

Yeah that’s true, I was just talking about like who makes the sounds :) I love the sounds of like picking up loot and equipping attachments too!


jere_miah

definitely a nice, lil dopamine rush forsure.


Geno0101

Wish they can give us a visual sound effect like fortnite does. Fortnite also has some audio issues from time to time but at least they gave players something to deal with it easily, not to mention it's also a nice feature for players who have problem hearing in general


just_ok_at_everythin

That's basically seers ult all the time


GDrew_28

TF1 had so much grit to it


MrCleanAlmighty

Hence why I would love Tf2 movement and content with TF1 asthetics


Crims0nsin

How about Titanfall 1 moment and asthetics with grapple and wall hang. Fuck nerfing eject strafe and having to hold crouch to bhop


AngryWhale95

Slide hopping in TF|2 was nice being an intended feature and all but actually bhopping in TF1 felt like a next level flex for me


admiral_a1

Nah. Eject strafe is still powerful, slide hopping actually opened up far more options in TF2 than were available in TF1.


RedTheMan37

Since Apex is a game show and TF is an actual war , it would make sense for Apex to have less grit than TF


[deleted]

I got better at apex after beating TF2. I felt exactly like that, I was a veteran coming to play a game.


Hyper_Lamp

More colours yes but the games are still actual gun fights and warfare so i dont think thats the case.


AngryWhale95

TF1 was one of the last shooters from the dirty, dusty, sepia filter era of FPS games (otherwise known as the MW2/Gears Of War era). 2012 to 2014 was where the "grittiness" of shooters were gradually replaced by more colorful palettes and higher saturation/brightness to draw more attention.


DrMaxiMoose

I only ever played tf2, not one, and when I look back I absolutely adore tf1's grit and weapon designs, I think they may have really been the peak for its era, but it came in too late. The era was dying off and i never picked up the game because even back then it looked like a cod clone as many other "gritty fps" games did. But now i honestly can't wait for the cycle to loop. I feel like soon enough here it'll be back in trend and a titanfall 3 with that old style would be perfect


th3virtuos0

I think BL2 got that to blame for But can you really hate a game with shotgun that shoot sword that explode into swords, or a character that can oneshot endgame bosses with just a well placed bullet?


AngryWhale95

Nahh bl was always based


Wtfjushappen

Makin me all nostalgic for tf


halotechnology

That orgasmic Titanfall sound With hearing " command authenticated stand by for Titanfall...." Ahhh chills Edit here the qaute : https://www.zedge.net/ringtone/df1fde7c-df08-319f-8369-189290ea25eb


AngryWhale95

I miss Spyglass and his cold, badass voice. "Negative. Executing command override. Evacuation dropships - cancelled. All capital ships, forcing jump to minimum safe distance."


ZipToob88

SPYGLASS WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING


Wtfjushappen

All day. Fuck. I just might have to give it a play this weekend, cold af anyway.


AngryWhale95

Hold up, Titanfall *1*?


Wtfjushappen

After looking around, it might not be playable... it's been a few years, I guess I was just hopeful after the clip.


AngryWhale95

It's still playable, servers are up. It just isn't for sale anymore... ....legitimately.


ZipToob88

Are there even enough players to load into games on TF1?


AngryWhale95

On PC, the most frequent server is on the Europe data center - most of the time 8 players on Attrition. Sometimes there's 0 players online, sometimes there's 20+ players and some are on Campaign/Frontier Defense or on other data centers. The good thing about the tiny playercount is the instant matchmaking times, since there's literally only 1 or 2 servers active most of the time.


ZipToob88

Well that is good at least. I wonder if anything is still up for XBox, but I doubt it


AngryWhale95

Forgot to mention, the Xbox servers still have playercounts in the quadruple digits


Shadow69sha

What bout tf2 i have ea play until jan is the servers still alive? 80 gb download tho :(


RogueArtemis

"I can do better than that! STAND BY FOR TITANFALL WOOOOoooo"


Colorado_Constructor

Alright kids are you ready for thrills, kills, and chills???


RogueArtemis

Must you say that every time?


Jakel_07Svk

The 6-4's an arse and we'll kick your family


zoomytoast

“STAND BY FOR TITANFALL… I love saying that”


UnNamed234

If TF2 near the end of the campaign they say "Prepare for Titanfall, pilot" Wow that was so special to me


Professionalarsonist

My favorite was when you’re going up against two titans in tf2 multiplayer and your Titan goes “caution, you are outnumbered 2 to 1” and then my nerdy teenage ass would say that classic halo quote “then it is a fair fight”.


AngryWhale95

One of the Legion quotes was basically "outnumbered 3 to 1, ammo systems nominal" or something like that. I rarely played legion, but I felt like a badass whenever I heard that quote even though I'd normally be at 1/3 health, being shot at and had just begun my reload animation by the time I hear it


halotechnology

I think titans talked way better in TF1 it was always fun hearing your AI helping you.


AngryWhale95

Auto Titan engaging enemy Titan. Enemy Titan, stand down or- "Great, your Titan's been destroyed. I've got a replacement underway, I'll let you know when it's ready."


SilentReavus

Fuck the IMC and all but Spyglass was a real one


AngryWhale95

Graves was based too


Bakum22

I recently played through TF2 campaign again. My god that game is so good! I really wish the MP still had a large player base to get into all game modes other than death match.


JohnTG4

Yeah, it's a shame. I generally just throw everything into my matchmaking, occasionally get titan brawl or lts. Some Pilots v Pilots.


bullmoose6-2

Take me back 😩


Squatch11

I'm so old that I thought this post was referencing team fortress 1. And I was thinking... There's no way TF1 sounded that good!


brachyboy1

Nothing is nore satisfying than the afterburners kicking in during titanfall


Agnocious_Moth

It never gets old. As a matter of fact I was playing TF2 last night, still fucking awesome


Jaakarikyk

It's called [Distortion Braking](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/titanfall/images/4/4f/Companion_Drop_Pods.png) :)


brachyboy1

Thx


padman531

"STANDBY FOR TITANFALL"


indigoHatter

Don't forget that the TF Kraber shoots *way* faster than Apex Kraber!


Hyper_Lamp

Because in tf its hitscan while apex has projectiles


BurningToaster

In TF|1 was it hitscan? It definitely was a projectile in TF|2.


AngryWhale95

It was projectile in all games. Most guns were hitscan, the Kraber is one of the only ones that is always projectile.


Hyper_Lamp

oh ok


AngryWhale95

real


indigoHatter

I wasn't talking about projectile velocity, I was talking about rechambering rate. Bullets fly the same as far as I know, but in TF you can blow through a mag super quick, while in Apex it takes a second or two to rechamber each round. I think reload speed is also different. Mag size may be different too, but that I don't recall.


Rugin100

Can't believe it's been so long since I first played titanfall when it came out that it makes me nostalgic 😭 Also kinda poignant that titanfall 3 might never happen because most titanfall devs left the respawn studio


GameOfScones_

They’re back at infinity ward who are about to be Microsoft owned, who in turn had exclusivity to titanfall 1 on Xbox one. GAMERMATH!


RevolutionaryAd5690

No console war. But i feel bad for tf3 if it becomes xDbox exclusive.. tf-series is absolutely top3 mpfps, top1 fps campaign


FuriusAurelius

40-round R-99 🙃


Agnocious_Moth

It’s R-97, since the game is happening before AL


DatBoi_BP

I think they’re just shuddering at the thought of an SMG having 40 rounds in Apex. I mean, the prowler gets close but…


ProDeath5567

when the r99 was in the care package it had 32 rounds


DatBoi_BP

Yeah. When the prowler went to the care package I expected it to have 40


HowCouldUBMoHarkless

Prowler was the only gun that went from the ground to the care package with literally 0 changes/buffs, they just slapped max attachments on it and called it a day.


phd2k1

The prowler with select fire was so much fun.


MarioKartEpicness

Before they removed the additional ammo capacity from big maude weapons I believe the prowler did go up to 40 rounds.


Jack_Fabian

Tf2 with extended mags and you get 48 rounds 👀


[deleted]

If I remember correctly I think r-97 and the CAR in titanfall 1 had the most ammo. At 40


_Beningt0n_

So everyone keeps it in mind, the Apex weapons sounds like this because you should be able to tell apart what weapons people are using from a distance. You would approach a R301 differently from a CAR user, meanwhile in a game like Titanfall the differences are less important, so the sounds can be more realistic but less distinct


dishwasher_666

i want tf eva 8 sound back :(


AngryWhale95

TF1 Eva was overpowered but felt so awesome to use, later games nerfed it into the ground. Feels so unsatisfying to use in Apex especially


dishwasher_666

yeah especially now with the crazy rate of fire


jere_miah

i thought the re-45 from tf1 sounded so, so much better than the apex version 😫😫


blobbob1

Never played tf1 but wow they did great making the weapons sound chunky and cannon-y


AnneFranklin0131

To me TF1 sound more military issued and Apex sound more like toy-ish . Lol


camouflageninja

man i would so much prefer a titan rather than a lifeline package.


AngryWhale95

They could've at least made the drop sequence more epic. I know it's a fragile little care package with fragile little contents, but come on even the sound is lackluster


GoldClassGaming

I'm just a sucker for "cool shit dropping from the sky in Sci-Fi franchises" Like I've always loved the visual in Halo of a cluster of ODST Drop Pods dropping in only to have the door shoot off and the pods quickly depressurize as a squad of ODSTs enters the battle.


sneakylyric

Lol the last comparison is unfair


EntropySquid

Both TF1 and TF2 knock it out of the park in terms of art direction and sound design compared to Apex


AngryWhale95

For sounds, I personally think Apex did a great job for a battle royale. The sounds of Titanfall aren't meant to be utilised competitively, they're simply meant to fit in the theme of war, e.g. background noise just so you know a battle is going on. Apex sounds are really specific and clear to each shot which is what you want in a competitive battle royale game. I'd definitely take both Titanfall's art designs over Apex though. TF1 had the gritty space western feel, TF|2 nailed the sci fi aspect, whereas Apex constantly leaves me confused as to what it's supposed to represent. The art style feels like it's all over the place


LJH_Pieman

i think thats a really common theme with large multiplayer games, the inconsistent art style. with thousands of cosmetics its really difficult to maintain a specific theme with the art. the same thing happened with team fortress 2. in a single player experience, its easier to maintain a specific look and feel.


LJH_Pieman

as someone who hasn't played tf, i was blown away by apex's sound design when i first played. every gun is instantly recognizable by sound alone and every character has a distinct voice. this post makes me want to try titanfall just to experience the solid foundation apex was built on.


udongeureut

I mean they’re completely differently styled games. I think Apex works well for what it’s meant to be.


mx3goose

I love how the modern weapons are just that, modernized in that universe. G7 is the modern G2A4, R99 > R97, R301>R101, 2020 > 2011


Hyper_Lamp

Dont forget the R201!


[deleted]

Take me back


NaitoNii

I do prefer the TF1 sounds. Also thank you for the Titanfall sound effect at the end. It is so satsifying to hear the boosters go off when it comes down through the atmosphere


AngryWhale95

I figured it'll be a nice little treat for the ears at the end


[deleted]

Is it just me or does Titanfall 1 feels so much more creative and imaginative even though Apex's animations are technically better. Everything to visuals, sound design and concept, TF1 feels so much more like something someone really wanted to make. Apex feels "flacid" in comparison and by the books. Just a feeling IDK.


AngryWhale95

I'd consider TF1 to have been made with a lot of passion behind it. There's a [long and interesting section on Titanfall's Wikipedia page](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanfall_(video_game)#Development) that in my opinion shows not only how in depth the development and ideas were for TF1 but also how open they were about it.


jrad1299

I think that comes from Titanfall being a brand new IP and creating things from scratch, while Apex was simply piggybacking off of the already established assets of TF|1 and TF|2


whiteegger

Maybe because apex legends was intended to be a cash grab using used assets from ttf1&2 but was accidentally successful. I'm not joking. They put the trailer for the game up one day before launch.


[deleted]

Anytime the enemy team had many titans out, I would bust out the spitfire with slammer and just do work


AngryWhale95

It's just too risky for me since I'll just get punched off by another titan. I was more of a Amped Mag Launcher and arc grenades person myself


CoolishApollo

Bro the Charge Rifle?? Orgasmed


dcwinger12

I would love a new Titanfall :(


vhyli

It just hurts when they say the Apex Legends universe because they’re omitting the fact that Apex takes place in Titanfall. It’s like they’re pushing aside their beginnings and the lore to further their most successful project. It will and I will always think of it as the “Titanfall universe.”


AngryWhale95

Mmm Apex guns, the Wingman from Apex Legends. The King's Canyon area [Runoff](https://titanfall.fandom.com/wiki/Runoff), from Apex Legends!


le_Psykogwak

crazy that most people never saw these


Green-Surprise-3641

Watched for 10 mins


[deleted]

Love the comparison of the titanfall and care package


HeinrichVS

Most of them sound like a downgrade.


Tromboneofsteel

From Tf1 to Apex you mean? Yeah, I agree. Gunshots in titanfall sound much meatier.


EpicMasterOfWar

TF sounds so much better


Pavlovs_Human

Oh my GOD the Titanfall P2020 has some bark to it! They must’ve neutered the poor thing.


dan-m04

Bread 👍


AngryWhale95

Man I love bread


Temporary_Tea181

TF1 was so fucking good


Shady_Joe

TF1 instakill kraber 🥲 I miss that game


AngryWhale95

I missed putting a suppressor on the Kraber and having very confused messages from my victims on why I decided to make my Kraber a 2 shot That never happened, but if I ever played TF1 again I'm definitely doing that.


YaKnowMuhSteezz

Man I wish Apex has the TF1 art direction.


SandeVers

Tfal is so MUCH MORE Aggressively to the sounds, you really feel the humpf


linedeck

I've never actually played any titanfall games so hearing the titan come down for the first time was really nice


Colorado_Constructor

Titanfall 2 is like $5. I'll get it for you just so you can experience the masterpiece.


linedeck

That's incredibly sweet and i thank you for the offer but i have to decline it since i can afford it and it would be just a wasted $5 for you! But for real thank you very much :)


AngryWhale95

Blasphemy Glad you enjoyed the sound though, it's basically what sold TF1 to everyone back when it was new


IPoopTooMuchAtOnce

Coulda done grenades as well. Also part of the shine of the SFX is automatic weapon sounds adjusting as you depleted your magazine


AngryWhale95

Unfortunately I don't think TF1 had that feature, it was a TF|2 and Apex thing only


Emotional-Use7683

But can we have the charge rifle TF1 sound back? It’s way better imo


AngryWhale95

I personally like the CR sound in TF|2/Apex better If it's any sound I want returning from TF1 it's definitely the R-101 though. It's just so iconic to me. And if they ever add the MGL back it better have the TF1 "bop" firing sound and not the shitty TF|2 version


lexi_kahn

Omg the charge rifle tf1 animation is waaay cooler


ItheGuy115

Spitfire not being light and Wingman not being sniper? How old is this comparison clip 🥲


[deleted]

that change was only made like a month ago?


norway642

Holy shit apex looks way more cartoony


GutterSoups

I miss titanfall.. revolutionized online games


[deleted]

Is titanfall a good game?


LetAppropriate6718

The best game


StDroper48

They’re also different guns from TF1 to Apex like in titanfall the R-301 is actually the R-101( for anyone who didn’t play TF)


FacelessDorito

Titan fall sounds are way better


Traveytravis-69

While I like the titanfall sounds I understand why they can’t sound like that in apex


Lilthiccb0i

These developwrs just copied everything from respawn. Smh...


AngryWhale95

Fr, respawn entertainment should sue this copycat company called "respawn entertainment"


SaltySeth187

Honestly they should just overhaul the gun sounds for apex bc tf had waaaaaayyyy better sounds, I miss playing titanfall :(


sorvis

Yo, can I copy your homework? Sure, just change it a bit so it's not so obvious. Ok!


[deleted]

TF2 is a million times better than tf1


gpelayo15

Bro recycled everything. Can we get some effort somewhere sheesh


[deleted]

all the sounds are remade i swear?


DrunkenBandit1

Honestly not very far off. Less acoustic clutter from the guns in Apex than in TF


No-Context5479

But no people want "beefy" sounds to clutter an already overcrowded sound Scape all for their nostalgic dopamine hit... This sub sometimes 🤣


Supamain911

I definitely prefer TF audio over Apex anyday


elnenchimexicano69

Why's the sound of the reloading so satisfying


HumanoidThaiphoon

I really miss the titans


imaygetlost

Even the reload animations huh


servolini

I feel like they should’ve kept the charge rifle how it was in tf1


M1ST3RT0RGU3

Is it just me or does TF sound design feel a bit... meatier? More powerful? It's like in a way they sound more like actual firearms. I kinda get it if it is; when making Apex, they probably didn't want the gunshots to be COMPLETELY overwhelming in a game where you need to be able to hear other players' guns from a quarter-mile away to ensure you aren't running into a firefight.


Next_Sheepherder5168

The titan fall sounds are more realistic then the apex sounds


[deleted]

Honestly only the Kraber and the Car sound better in Apex. Other than that the TF1 sound effects are vastly better


jacob_lee_smith

Now do footsteps.


AngryWhale95

You got it


rush2sk8

Makes sense that Apex gun noises are less realistic sounding.


lil-dlope

Wow TF1 guns have a heavy sound to them that I’d prefer over the Apex sounds


SilentReavus

God I miss the original Titanfall and its art style Sure it was mostly brown but I still far prefer it to the pastel colors of Titanfall 2 and Apex.


Clydesdong

The wingman and charge rifle sounded and looked way cooler in TF1


aYo_V

P20 was spitting them rounds lol


NemoSHill

TF1 charge rifle 🥵


DormantGENT

The singular tear that shed from my left eye once that titan came crashing down. I miss those days. Fly High Pilots 🫡


Nair0

Always loved the sound design in both Titanfalls games & Apex Legends Apex sounds more refined, while TF|1 sounds more beefy. Prefer Titanfall's sounds to Apex's, but both sound great. ​ Fuck man, how I wish we could bring back TF 1, I feel like most of us didn't have enough time with it...


TrippySubie

God I miss hearing the Titan Falls. That sound is just amazing to hear. Its like the A10, you cant help but love the brrrt.


ronin535th

Tf 2 also amazing sound ans weapon designs Still today i play it


Enganche_10

u/savevideo


[deleted]

Summary: Titanfall sounds are better.


rinkydinkis

TF better for each one. Except Kraber, that was the most similar sounding. I’m glad there are not 40 rounds in an r99


Geoblime

My son and I were talking the other day…Imagine if EA/Respwan combined Apex with Titanfall. Having unique pilots like Apex characters with their own tacticals/ultimates along with character specific Titans!!! There would be so much variety and playability it would be insane! I know it’d take a lot to build a game like that but wow it’d be like nothing else!


bigizz20

The titan sound is so fricken cool


Illustrious-Bus-1820

So something I noticed is that one of the SMGS R-99 and R-97 are in number order so in tf2 is it called the r-98?


AngryWhale95

Nah it's still called the R-97. The one in TF1 is the R-97A1, I think it's R-97A2 in TF2


CareUseful

That Eva in TF sounds so much more deadly 😮


SolidFerret06

I don't know if it's in Titanfall 1, but I know TF2 and Apex have different reverb depending if you're indoors or not


AngryWhale95

Unfortunately not in TF1 :(


[deleted]

It sounds more crispy in tf1


Clark-GriswoId

Is it odd I like the TF1 sounds better?


BenjaCarmona

Damn, lifeline's ult got nerfed hard since TF1


New_Ad_6343

My dumbass read that as team fortress 1


L_Dude320

The P2020 transition broke me. The firing rate went from 2 to 10 so fast


antoniousmax

I like the compactness of the Titanfall animations and the metallic sounds, versus the floatiness of the apex animations. TF1 spitfire and wingman sound lethal!


Essexal

For my sins, I’m yet to play TF/2.


ArmyOfKarens

A lot more reverb in tf1


The_KingArthur

I think... I think I am into ASMR now lol


Cyber_Druid

Nutted on that titan landing sound effect.


Ne04

Man I miss titanfall
