Beta’s Killing Hype
The original Titanfall had gathered quite a following among Xbox One fans as a fun multiplayer title. However, it seems that players were expecting something at least a little bit more substantial than that which they got in the beta tests. During the two weekends that Titanfall 2 had open betas, there was a general consensus among fans that it just wasn’t quite what they were expecting.
Though the full multiplayer experience is certainly something to be interested in if you were a fan of the original’s gameplay, Titanfall 2’s low pickup rate could be attributed to the underwhelming experience had in the betas. With plenty of multiplayer alternatives in the weeks surrounding and Battlefield 1’s beta reception being very positive, this further compounded the problem.
