TF1 was better (sometimes)

I really miss TF1's titans. Loadouts we're always more fun than classes and regenerating shields was much more fun. Feels like you have to be godlike to keep a titan around in 2. Any amount of damage you take just feels like complete ass. No regen shields also contributes to the Monarch spam.

Also rodeoing in 1 was just pure bliss. It was much better when the lmgs were almost dedicated to rodeoing and could melt the core. You could realistically 1v3 the titans as a pilot and get away with it when electric smoke wasn't default. The counterplay used to be, use cluster bombs, run smoke, get a friend to help, or get out and fuck them. So much better than the current one button fix.

Also BURN CARDS. I miss some of them, being able to hide as a specter was hilarious, and perma stim was great. Sure, not as balanced but still fun. On the same point I wish pilots weren't highlighted. I TF1 you genuinely could hide among the grunts like a wolf in sheep's clothing and it was one of the most fun play styles that is just impossible now.

Also the pilot designed were better in Tf1. They would change based on your primary weapon instead of your tactical. They could have expanded on that by giving further variants for each tactical weapon combo.

Also first person embarking and takedowns are so much cooler.

And the map design was consistently better in 1

It's tragic that tf3 won't happen. If they reverted these things I mentioned to Tf1 but kept everything about the movement from TF2 it would be the perfect game. Still love Titanfall 2, but the first one will always hold a special place in my heart. It's so sad it hasn't gotten the same love 2 has gotten in the past few days.
