When I first got into console shooters being
the better player came down to two variables, Do you aim good? And do you run good? Good aim meant not just hitting your shots, But having the reaction time to line them up quickly, Ｉ ＡＭ ＡＢＯＵＴ ＴＯ ＰＥＡＫ ＡＳ Ａ ＧＡＭＥＲ (Drum Solo by Szendőfi Péter) 𝕠𝕙 𝕞𝕪 𝕘𝕠𝕕 Good movement meant you knew the map layout, And how to use it to your advantage, (Drum Solo by Szendőfi Péter) í̵̮̬͈͆́n̵̪͚͓̞̲̫̠͈̞̙̄̈́̎͌͊̐̌͝ă̸̡̡̫̮̭̣̹͖̬͊ǘ̵͉͕̬̼͇͇̙̯͂̅̔̈̓̈́͒̔d̸̨̢̛͇̞̮͈̟̬͎̕̕ą̵̢͈̲̱̗͇̪͇̽́́̽̐̇́̚͝b̴̺͑͐͐͐̎̍̈͘͠l̵̡̛̲̗̞̬̫̦̞̘̂͂́̇̕͠e̵͔̹̔̓̎͜ ̵̖̞̏̕g̸̭̈͒́͠͝ḁ̶̇͒r̵̢̰͚͙̣̦̞̉ǵ̸̡͚̺̝͈̥̳͖̾̀̑̎͜ḻ̸̮̖̙̳̞̞́̉e̸̜̤̖̜͔͖̠̲͍̞̓ (laughing from voice chat) These things are still true today, But back then the two
concepts were mostly disconnected, You weren't sliding and fighting,
you weren't wall running and fighting, You'd just see a dude and shoot him, ᵁˢᵘᵃˡˡʸ But eventually, people figured out the next best things, For example jump-shotting... 𝓦𝓐𝓒𝓗𝓐 𝓰𝓮𝓽 𝓼𝓸𝓶𝓮 𝓸𝓯 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 Or drop-shotting... (Drum Solo by Szendőfi Péter) Any amount of hitbox displacement, Especially at close range, Could decide whether you won or lost a fight, And for many players,
this became a skill in itself to master. But like yin to yang, For every person honing their skills, There was, another type of player... (Magnum Force - Main Title Theme plays) Are you fu-- (Magnum Force - Main Title Theme continues playing) All that movement bullshit is supposed to
give you an element of surprise on the enemy, But how can you surprise the sentient
sentry scanning a doorway for movement? Well, you could toss an explosive, Or pre-fire the corner, Or avoid it entirely, But the problem was, these only worked if you
knew ahead of time someone was camping, And you only knew they were camping if
they killed you while they were camping, And if they changed spots
the whole process started over. There was no good way to preemptively deal with this, Just ways to adjust for it, So as more COD games came out,
so did a progression of this movement system. Bam! You could boost around corners Bam! You can slide into rooms Bam! Wall running It became harder and harder to camp,
as it was easier and easier to initiate, When anyone could appear from any place,
at any speed, at any time, in any dimension? How could you predict
where to watch and what to shoot? That's not to say camping was magically eradicated, It was still around,
but now you at least have some more options. Some people love this faster direction,
but a lot of people... uuhhh-- duh -ummm... uhhhh Were getting sick of it. Not because it was unfun per se, But because it changed the entire appeal of a franchise, Which was originally your reliable
boots on the ground shooter. I bring this all up to illustrate a
very visibly distinct scale of movement, If you actually like the simplicity of old COD, Then you probably gravitate to the games that keep it comparably toned down today. If you like the middle ground, Then you probably stick to those faster tactical ones. But if you liked the direction things were going, And maybe even wanted them to go further, Well then welcome to the club,
what's left for you and me? I mean, it can't be that good rig- 𝓞𝓗 𝓜𝓨 𝓖𝓞𝓓 𝐼𝓉'𝓈 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒸𝓇𝒶𝓏𝓎 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓎𝑜- 𝐁𝐎𝐖 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐖𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐇- I gotta play this right now. When did it come out? F**K When a game is so brutal that good titans run
around swatting players like house flies, It's understandable that when you
first play you might feel like... (Heavy Gunfire) Bro, you gotta go out there. They're killing everyb- (Villager speak from Animal Crossing) No i'm not going out th- (More Villager speak from Animal Crossing) They're gonna no- they're gonna kill me. You gotta- (Even More Villager speak from Animal Crossing) But overcoming this fear is important to getting the real Titanfall experience, 𝐎𝐇, oh, I just got the name that's funny. Learning how to speed through buildings without bonking your head in the process is what separates, An adult from a child, It's basically a rite of passage in this game. Movement is everything, and I mean every- 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝚎𝚟𝚛- 𝐞𝐯𝐫- Okay aiming is important too, But you have to master both to get anywhere. I could sit here and explain movement mechanics to you like a sex-ed teacher all day, But that sounds pretty boring.
So just watch this... (Mute City - Mario Kart 8 OST plays) The amount of 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 that happen in any one fight could probably fill out a college essay on momentum conservation, But I'll just give you the thesis statement, Standing still equals, U AR DED Not big surprise. I always meet these players who in their hubris, think they found a safe spot from all the action... Sniping's a good job mate There is no safe spot, this is not 𝑅𝒰𝒩𝐸𝒮𝒞𝒜𝒫𝐸 It's no wonder the best two tactical abilities are
also ones pertaining to movement, Grapple-Man Grapple-Man (x2) Does whatever a grapple can... Can he swing from a- NOOOOOOOOooooo... Come bac- ＦＵＣＫ I would say no offense to hollow pilot fans,
but I'm pretty sure they don't exist, Wh- Wait wha- Oh, I stand corrected. People speculate the reasons this game... Like it's a murder mystery, political cover-up,
and Weezer album rolled up into one, Everyone has a good idea of why it happened, But they can't help but wonder
what if things had gone differently. The fact that many of you, Myself included, didn't know anything of this before Apex Legends is frankly kind of unforgivable, That's not to say apex doesn't have some of its own intense firefights, I put a good hundred hours
in on Pathfinder and Octane combined. But half of the match is preparing,
and looting, and hiding, Waiting for stuff to happen. You don't wait in Titanfall. The whole match is a non-stop fight with way more peaks than there are valleys. This is by far the most top-shelf, finely tuned movement game, I've played in a very long time. Here's the good news. Recently It dropped on Steam and people are realizing how much this game bangs, So you really have no excuse to not own it anymore. You might be wondering what the best titan actually is, Well, these guys are all irrelevant and this guy is just a jackass. Ronin fucks shit up with 𝓼𝓽𝔂𝓵𝓮 What was your plan, No really,
I want you to say in chat what your plan was there? A bad player will lose this thing immediately, So if you see one alive for more than 20 seconds, Run the fuck away, and pray they don't find you. Monarch is like a tiger waiting to pounce, it stalks its prey until the very second it goes doomed and then... (Tiger Growls) Northstar is a sniper who can fly. WHAT THE FUCK But the truth is all of these titans are actually, LAME as FUCK. If you want a real gamer's goliath, oh ho buddy... I'll tell you where to find it... I don't feel like writing any more for this so I'm done- Paladins has taken the lion's share of mockery over the years. Hell I'm not even above taking cheap shots at it. But getting to know it over the past year has made me realize how much this game really has going on, So we're going to get to the bottom of it. ᵇʸᵉ ᵇʸᵉ The cards you put on before every match fundamentally change how you prioritize abilities. So building these card sets
is a really personal decision process. Is Inara too slow? throw in a summit card Now she can wall jump. You like Zhin's counter more than inferno blade? Bam Ahoy matey! Nope! I sent it back. Okay, just kidding. Nope! I'll sent it back again- Hey, you want to play t-ball? Nope I sent it- You aren't stuck playing these
characters in any one specific way, Which is great for longevity. HEY, Hey, hey you, Yes. You, Start taking notes, This will be on the test. Two players that pick up Imani could end
up using her kit in entirely different ways, One that's all about active cooldown management, Or one that's- 𝓌𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 𝕃𝕠𝕠𝕜 𝕚'𝕞 𝕤𝕦𝕣𝕗𝕚𝕟g 𝕒𝕝𝕝 𝕣𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥...

if you're getting too jacked up by stun mechanics, You can buy protection from that mid-match. If the enemy has two shield tanks, Buy Shield Break. If your rollout is slow, Buy it. If your feet are slow, Buy it. If Titanfall 2 is on sale, Buy it. Also if it's not on sale, ʙᴜʏ ɪᴛ. Adaptable, is a good word for Paladins.

for being nothing like the campaign, Where the single-player made you feel like this
one-man army shredding through a legion of hell, The multiplayer had to slow everything down, So players could fight each other on even ground. I think the online was fun,
but most people didn't seem to care for it, So then DOOM ETERNAL comes out, right? And id Software says, "alright, you want something really avant-garde?"

hellfire to slow the DOOM guy down, Meanwhile DOOM guy is tearing through everything desperately clawing for an opening to exploit. Demons who coordinate well can make it feel, Impossible to beat them. But the second DOOM guy lands a good shot.Suddenly the demons are pissing their pants running away, It's super intense and really
intricately designed to still feel balanced, Anyone who's played it can attest to that. Yet, if you look in the replies of the
DOOM Twitter, it's always people going, battle mode is trash,
bring back death match,
deathmatch Quake? Champions Deathmatch It's funny. We said deathmatch was too slow.
So they made something faster, We said deathmatch wasn't representative of doom, So they made something that is. Now we've come full circle and people are
saying, "it's too different." There's no winning. Oh? you think killing a demon in
deathmatch is hard with five teammates? Try fighting two of them alone while they rush you
down spamming minions and level 100 skins. Good luck. No really. Good luck. ᴵ ʰᵃᵛᵉⁿ'ᵗ ᵉᵛᵉⁿ ᵈᵃᵐᵃᵍᵉᵈ 𝕊𝕠 𝕓𝕒𝕤𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕪 𝕀'𝕞 𝕗𝕦𝕔𝕜𝕖𝕕 𝕀𝕤 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕨𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕚𝕥 𝕗𝕖𝕖𝕝𝕤 𝕝𝕚𝕜𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕓𝕖 𝕠𝕟 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕠𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕤𝕚𝕕𝕖? 𝕀'𝕞 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝔻𝕆𝕆𝕄 𝕤𝕝𝕒𝕪𝕖𝕣.

it three times harder for everyone else, If you try a stupid jump and it works... "Big money plays?" "Oh, yeah, just dunk on them" Then hell yeah, man, that was sick. But it won't work every round, And if you take the piss too often enemies get used to it, That's why I call it a "positional" shooter. Sometimes it's better to tactically reposition to high- -To high ground for angles, rather than
freestyling through the air and bailing out halfway. Wow, it's even more like overwatch than I thought. If you can get used to this constantly shifting tempo, Then it's a very fun game to learn, But between the rootkit and the
triple-digit weapon skins, I wouldn't blame you for taking a pass. Hey, what did I say? Let's move on. Fun fact about this video, I've rewritten it's script six times because movement shooters keep coming out and then dying
two weeks later, It's like halo but with portals! Dead, it's dead. It's like Quake but with goats, And they're so dedicated to this gimmick, That even Steam Charts has been playing dead, Disintegration was good enough I made a video, But I can't even call it dead, Cause it never had a pulse to begin with, But the newest kid on the block, Hyperscape, Has me in quite the bind. On one hand, movement is so
prevalent that at any given moment, You can go virtually anywhere on
the screen in five seconds tops, On the other hand... Ubisoft. Battle Royale. Not words that incite confidence, One minute you're playing Super Monkey Ball, The next, It's Quake Live. One minute, you're chasing rabbits with a minigun, The next you're- Uh- I'm not even sure how to describe what's happening. On a surface level, this game is pretty nuts. Looting is fast,
camping doesn't work. They trim down most of that BR filler, Chasing hurt enemies becomes this game of
who can outmaneuver who, And the better player, (ɯαƚƈԋ ɱҽ) always tends to come out on t- (รฬ๏๏ςє) Oh no. It's hardly without its flaws, but I'd be lying if I said I don't like the potential here, If anything it's pretty reassuring that fast FPS games are making their way into the mainstream market again, Few game genres carry the same
tempo of involvement as this one does, And that's why I think we should- BUY TITANFALL 2 JUST DO IT. Captions by Moonbright
