For those of you who are unaware, there is currently a client mod out for Titanfall 2 that restores the multiplayer to it's former glory. It is called the Northstar client and while I don't know much about it, it makes it to where you can continu playing Titanfall 2 even today. Check it out here: github.com/R2Northstar/Northstar/releases

I personally use Northstar, there are almost always at least 80 players, which is a small amount, but enough for at least 3 servers (Northstar uses a Server Browser, so you can pick which server you join, so its easier to just join servers with 1 or 2 free slots), and it fixes a security issue in vanilla titanfall 2 which lets your origin account be entered WITHOUT your password. Play on Northstar

Both Titanfall games were incredible and shining beacons of consumer friendly practices and giving the fans what they want. People wanted a more in depth campaign? TF2 made one of the best FPS campaigns ever. People wanted more interesting Pilot and Titan customization? TF2 did that. Even all the main content of the game was free updates other than some cosmetic skins which even then were only about $3. AND THIS WAS AN EA GAME.

How Respawn abandoned this IP is unforgiveable. As soon as they made Apex and got a taste of that freemium money, they immediately left the game to die. They did the gaming equivalent of leaving your wife because you can't be bothered to deal with her cancer diagnoses. Absolutely disgusting. Titanfall 2 did so many things right. The community loved and praised Respawn as passionate developers who cared. And as a reward for our dedication, they spat in our face. Screw you, buy our lootboxes. How about no Respawn. You specifically advertised Titanfall 2 as being consumer friendly without lootboxes, then immediately turned around after sabotaging your own game with a terrible release window. Complete sellouts. Respawn and EA deserve each other.

Sadly, I never picked up its sequel, and knowing how bad the online has gotten, I don't really feel compelled to. It's shame the Titanfall franchise died out.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Titanfall? I thought not. It’s not a story the Apex players would tell you. It’s a Pilot legend. Titanfall was a great game of Respawn, so good and so fast it could use it's potential to influence the devs to create other movement shooters. It had such a knowledge of movements that it could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The movement in a game is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. It became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was losing it's player base, which eventually, of course, happened. Unfortunately, it taught Apex Legends everything he knew, then the DDOSer killed it in it's sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself...

Titanfall 2 is and always will be one of my favorite games of all time. And with Northstar, it makes me so happy that I’m able to continue to be able to play the multiplayer!

Bro, very good investigation! Good video

Very good job summing all this up. Congratulations.

this thing feels like a plot from the Death note anime. A detective who fights injustice, in fact was a puppet master some kind. A true tragedy

Thank you very much for highlighting the original Titanfall in all of this, no one ever talked about it. It's personally my favorite FPS ever made and I now have to play it on my Xbox 360 to even play the game anymore. I do definitely think that it's Respawns fault as in the beginning of the TF1 issues P0 highlighted like 20 easy fixes they could do in the Remnant Fleet discord. I'm finally glad the entire war is over with all the drama and such, but I wish TF1 could've survived through it. All I can wait for is the Titanfall Online project to hopefully revive the small playerbase it had and bring more people in as it should be free from what I remember.

Great vid man , thanks for all the infos .

It is 100% respawns fault because they crumbled under pressure against stuff that can be easily removed with some type of anticheat put into their game and they just decided to crumble the future of titanfall which is one of the greatest games ive ever played

I love these games, and I play Titanfall 2 almost every day despite the reduced game base. It's beyond it's time and there's no game so far better than TF 2. It's such a shame a masterpiece game like this has been targeted so bad, and been abandoned by their creators. I'm so glad it's currently working. Nice vídeo!. Peace!

One thing i dont understand , no one couldve tracked down this jeanue guy and just legit beat him up?

Thank you for saying that titanfall 2 was still playable. It’s a game I’ve only played limitedly but fell in love with and now that I have my own PC I can but I didn’t know if it was worth it due to the hacks. And that’s for showing the other server I can play on to get the a good proper experience. Definitely earned my subscribe.

I'm gen 100 and been playing since 2016 , tbh starting to get stale now , same maps over and over rinse and repeat . Too many noobs that just get stomped . Server connection is real shit also , I use to play on Auzy servers . But they died , only so many hours of any video game you can play then gets very repetitive , I have well over 2000 hours lol . Sure it's one of my go to games but I don't have the spark I use to when playing it I use to . I often listen to music and play , and have a few drinks to keep it interesting . The horrible ping is kinda off putting because I have to play at 200 + ping . It was a good ride for sure . Got crazy good with the kraber . I play on PC , the only reason I still play is because of the krabering trick shots I can pull off , wingman is cool also

What a good tutorial thanks!!

Had so much playing both. They should remaster.

It's almost uncanny how similar the history of these very different games are. High profile shooter with a heavy emphasis on movement that released to critical and commercial success and influenced a ton of other fps games, with some of these inspirations becoming bigger than they did, having very dedicated fans who became very good due to the games having high skill ceilings even years after getting no more content, even having the same abbreviation, and dealing with rampant hackers and bots for years while the devs do nothing and it becomes up to the community to make fixes to avoid the problem (whether it's dedicated community servers or a custom client that allows community servers)

Bro amazing video!! But please please fix your font kerning… simple adjustments would really make the headlines look less like multiple words rather then 3 words for example it looks like it’s says Tit an Fall

Jeanue could have very well been sued by content creators and the company that made both games, as what he did is harassement, violation of property and with how far as he did, he could face prison for hacking the game and banning accounts, making Respawn lose players and probably even share holders, even if we don't know who he is, by opening a case and causing an investigation to play out, we could have found who he was and he would have been arrested for at least a maximum of 5 years i think.

They should do that

also i saw a few claims that the OG devs of (i think) both games left the company. it also can be asumed that not only doesnt EA care, Respawn also isnt the same Respawn back when they made TF1&2

Thankfully the part about the TF2 player count being low is wrong, it is still hanging between 5000-10000 on an average day, and while matches take a while to load due to server problems, the game is still entirely playable if you are patient. There is also Northstar too if those problems are too inconvenient to deal with. Nonetheless this video was great Robo! Thank you for compiling the history of these controversies into an easily digestible video!

The most frustrating thing to come out of this was Respawn taking the Xbox One and Xbox 360 versions of Titanfall 1 off digital sale despite the fact they remain the only thing that was never attacked by hackers

Used to play a lot of Frontier Defense on Titanfall 2. Decided for some reason to get back into it recently and found out this has happened. Even though the hacks supposedly stopped, I still can't seem to find a server in the US that isn't laggy. Tried Northstar but there isn't Frontier Defense on there. Sad

If Respawn was serious about fixing the game, that would never happen

Absolutely, they betrayed the franchise that built them up for a god damn Battle Royale

A tragedy? A tragedy i really like to play to this day!

I am a proud fan of the "Titanfall" franchise. In fact, I'm kind of addicted to it. I played it for 12 hours straight yesterday and didn't get bored. Yes, the servers are back up and there's an online player count in the "Find Game" interface. Yesterday, I saw that there was about 2,000 - 2,500 people online. There used to be close to 7,500 - 10,000 on a weekday. Those numbers would basically double on weekends. However, the hacks that happened made the player count go so far down, that for a while, the player count was so low it only showed "..." This most likely meant that the was only about 500 people at max online. Titanfall 2 is making a slow recovery and I hope we get to go back to normal eventually.

I started playing Titanfall 2 on 2019, and I love this game the movement everything is good, feel so sad to know that the game was unplayable for a big period of time since I stopped playing a bit ago

Titanfall 2 on console at least is rough. There was a server side change and now there's a weird lag to everything, like your a frame or two behind and it throws everything off

Literally respawn could’ve just fixed both issues and moved on they wouldn’t have lost too much.

Just played titanfall a few hours ago I still think the game is one of the best games I have ever played and I will forever love titanfall

its quite intriguing that games that start with TF and 2 both has hackers and bot issues and that both have dedicated fans even long after

TF1 brings nostalgic tears to my eyes to see it dead I’ve been trying to play tf1 for a while it was so fun but I can’t anymore

imagine being so bad that you literally kill a franchise

On TF|2 Xbox right now there’s about 3,468 online (at the time of writing this). The number does fluctuate with people getting timed out of the multiplayer menu, so you might find the player counter says that a large number players left and then all of a sudden a large number of people are now playing mp.

Titanfall 1 and 2 are absolute masterpieces in each's own right. They are beautiful games with indepth and complex movement that are extremely addicting to learn. Its the only fps campaign that has had a lasting effect on me and ive replayed multiple times. The multiplayer (although unbalanced a bit) is still super fun and theres player made mods such as Northstar for pc which make the game playable indefinitely for the core community. This group of people are so inspiring that we have rallied together over a game we love and it has united us to be stronger than we could ever be alone

I loved playing titanfall 2 even thought I jumped on the train quite late in late 2020 it was a masterpiece and by far the best game I had ever played, last thing I did was have a sad party with my friends in our last playable game of titanfall

As someone who genuinely liked titanfall finding out that the game and its sequel was ruined for everyone myself included because of this hack was awful seriously if you’re really so low that you’ll resort to destroying an entire franchise of games for whatever excuse of a reason you can come up with you should seriously reconsider your life choices.

Bro I re-downloaded Titanfall 2 a couple months ago in order to play some Frontier defense because it's been years since I played Titanfall 2 and I missed it! When I got on and tried to play a match I would get locked into place then booted from the match. I contacted EA and respond and told them everything and nothing they said would fix it! I can't even play some damn wave-based game play against AI..... Titanfall 2 needs to be fixed that was one of my most favorite games I've ever played and after I took a long break and came back the game was completely broken because some Vigilantes took things TO DAM FAR! I'm so happy I found this video and figured out what the hell is actually going on. Appreciate it I cannot wait to share this video my friends. And I think I'm going to send a copy of the link to this video to respawn entertainment and EA through support... absolutely heartbroken💔

You on console? Cuz that's why I stopped playing Frontier Defense and MP on my PS Pro. I was thinking I might jump back in just to see where the game is at, but if that shit is still happening Im not even gonna bother. Sucks, Titanfall was such a good franchise. Now they're all about Apex, which has it's charms I suppose? But without the Titans, it's just not the same.

Northstar is the closest thing to that right now. You're able to have first person embarks/executions and there are even some servers that give Titans regenerating shields just like the first game. It's going to be awesome to see what the community comes up with.

Someone will always try to hack and exploit a multiplayer. So if the owners do not patch the game accordingly, then their fault if hacks damages the experience for the users. Don't think it requires much work to make the main fixes.

thanks for making this video. i was thinking of buying titanfall 2 because it was on sale and i had heard about it being a cool game, but then i watched this. I also didn't know that the developers which abandoned and let these games be ruined by a random person also made Apex Legends, so I won't be playing that game either. Net benefit to the world, absence of the generation of entropy.

In my opinion, if Respawn is given the green light to develop TitanFall 3. They would actually uproot the FPS genre. I wanna see Jack Cooper again.

As long as I remember, there are 3 types of hacking and I'm not talking white, black and grey, No ! The 3 types are Destructive ( destroying/harming the software or change its properties/proposes ), Performance ( where the hacker gains extra performance from the victim's hardware ) and Tracking ( where the victim is followed and no longer has a privacy ) Can't we hack him down ? Tracking hacks are the best for this, Account highjacking is a well-known method, but instead of selling the account you can see his personal information and a location will be critical. He is illegally hacking a game, he got no back up when you send pictures of where he lives, what he do and who are his beloved people. Now... Find someone who can scare the sh*t outta him !

Titanfall 1 was the first online multiplayer game I ever played, I grew up on it on my Xbox 360 it has a special place in my heart, but this just means it hurts so much more

What happened to titanfall hits me especially hard considering the sentimental value that titanfall 2 holds for me. Not only is it one of my favorite games of all time, but when i first got my ps4, it was the first game i ever inserted into and played, and continued to play till its downfall. Me and my best friends bonded over the game. (i 1v2d them with only a kraber doing only trickshots and still won, i was a sweaty kraber main.) I now play pc and northstar client doesn’t work for me anymore. I tried reinstalling it but it just stopped working sadly.

Robokast, I hope you can make a video about Superliminal

jeanue was in fact doxxed but it was not realesed bc of fear for getting the wrong person from what i heard. you completly missed the northstar client that gives a whole new world of possibilities for titanfall 2

so much nostaliga so many memories came floding back to me. Great video we can just hold our thums for tf3 or that respawn magically can bring tf2 back from the dead (sorry for bad english im from sweden)

Both of the Titanfall games were the only shooters that I actually really enjoyed And it’s just so upsetting what happened to the games Respawn should’ve done so much more for this awesome game

Ayyye 420k let's go

Cool video

nice vid

Thx 4 the feat

I think it is worth mentioning that titanfall 2 is still highly playable and has a pretty decent playercount right now thanks to the Northstar client that introduces the ability to host your own servers and adding a serverbrowser and etc. modding capabilities to the game. With being community made, it recieves full time support and is genuinely more fun and engaging than the base game ever was.

Not a bad recap, surprised you were able to make clear sense of some of it lol. Some of it got insanely convoluted, even if you were there
