Hmm, so in your world the same thing over and over again is good. Your world must be really boring.
And Id hardly consider the inclusion of random NPC = MOBA.
This really isn't a sensible point you're making. You're basically saying that a MOBA shooter is better than a TDM game type because games already have TDM. Your logic is literally hipster logic--it must be good because it's not popular!
If people legitimately wanted a MOBA shooter, don't you think that said MOBA shooter would be getting worked on somewhere? Maybe a major minority (which includes you) wants it, but that's not how a company works--you don't aim to provide a service that won't have much of an audience (unless you're a luxury provider who charges $1,000 per product).
But like I said, we're getting a bit of a MOBA thing in Titanfall. We have the mindless drone A.I. that will barely register on your threat meter, but it's there as an attention span checker. That's what the creeps in MOBAs are. That's what the A.I. guys are in Titanfall.
Titanfall literally has that MOBA element in it, just without a static base to defend. Guess what? People are complaining up and down the streets because they think that the inclusion of A.I. combatants is moronic, and I can't exactly blame them and say that their complaints aren't justified.
So from the majority of the reviews I've read from people in the beta from various forums is it boils down to this. PC gamers don't care for it, Console gamers think it is amazing. lol

I'm in the beta rather than quoting random stuff from the internet.

Last question is how does Titanfall compare to Hawken? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
HAWKEN is more like Unreal Tourney style MP with Mechs, and only Mechs. The game maps are also a bit larger, and you can highly customize each part of your mech and its core.
Titanfall is, of course, COD with Mech's as a temporary use for Killstreaks. Everything is more confined and your going to spend a lot more time on foot than in a mech.
The better Mech game is HAWKEN. Though it's all mech and nothing but mech. Though I do find HAWKEN more enjoyable than Titanfall, as #1.. it free, #2 it doesn't feel at all pay-to-win, #3 the level design is more open with a bit more roaming and freedom, #4 it looks better graphically (though not by much) and is more competitive than Titanfall. A lot less fluff to it too. Oh, and hawken supports my beloved oculus rift.
Actually, as someone who played thousands of hours in various mechwarrior games I wouldn't consider Hawken a mech game either. I had extraordinary high hopes for Hawken to be the next MW:2 but was sorely disappointed by its simplified dynamics.
Titanfall isn't really a mech game either by traditional standards. The titans add some pretty cool tactical tools are fast, but they don't act like "mechs". Putting them in slave mode is just too much fun.

"by the guys who made XXX" you know it so-so when they keep saying that.. fanboys please apply! is what it should say.
Welcome to the interwebs!I just see nothing but negativity towards everything nowadays, I'm wondering which shooter(s) the PC community consider playable.

My main impression so far - feels like CoD with mechs and double-jumps/parkour. The chaos on offer is pretty cool, but there's nothing in the core gameplay that has wowed me to this point. We'll see if it retains my interest, but I'm not holding my breath right now.
A lot of PC gamers are snobby nerds with a sense of entitlement. They actually believe they're better than console gamers and that consoles have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. If a game is on both PC and console then it must be terrible. If a game has less than 100 simultaneous players or can be played on a sub $400 graphics card or looks worse than Crysis 3 they feel insulted that the developer even has the nerve to release the game or price it at $60. How dare they right? Even if the game has those qualities there will be mass complaining however. On top of that is the standard "hating things because they're popular" behavior that a lot of people do.
It's not everybody though. Just ignore the people like that imo.
I think there is a serious barrier between PC gamers and console gamers. You tend to see more critique and criticism from the PC gamers while the console ones usually give in to what ever they get. I mean you rarely hear the cries of the console game. Were pretty loud over here on the PC side and I guess thats because most of us have a higher technical background that allows us to make judgement on games based on rehashed game play, sub par graphics, and disrespectful business practices. Oh, and don't forget we have all seen the light!
PC Gamers are very judgemental. PC users in general HATE change. Look at the adaptation of Windows 8 for example. Windows 8 isn't bad at all. It's actually better than Windows 7. I've been able to do everything I normally do on Windows 7 faster on Windows 8. The interface, once you get used to it is very efficient. The all inclusive search thing allows me to launch applications and get to exactly what I need every time in under 1 second. It's great.
PC Gamers have a TERRIBLE habit of calling something bad before they even get their hands on it.
I'm excited for TitanFall, but I'm more excited for a game that is 6v6 or something small. The reason I don't like Battlefield that much is because it's a HUGE game. In the end, most of what you do as a single player means nothing as there are SO many other people. Also, the "team" aspect of the game is lost. Most people aren't using mics (from what I've seen anyway), there isn't much coordination at all. Just people running around. When I played Halo 4 (4v4 infinity slayer), or other small 4v4,5v5,6v6 games there is TONS of cooperation. Your input as a team member means a lot more. Halo 4 infinity slayer was my favorite mode, I dominated it as well which helped. I'll be interested in playing this TitanFall Beta.
Battlefield 4 was interesting, but the fact that I can go AFK, and still win the game(because after all there are 31 other players), just makes me feel like I'm not even really playing.
Edit: I honestly hate this trend of "My game needs to be 64 player+!!!!!". I think it just feeds into the ADD gamer who can't stay focused and needs to run into a new player every 1 second or they get bored. Most players I see online can't keep track of where people are on the map in a 5v5 game of a MOBA. They have 0 clue what they're doing in a big shooter they just run around with no real strategy at all. It's so boring. Just because you cram more people into a map doesn't make the game any more tactical/better of a shooter. A good shooter could be a 3v3 game for all I care, it all is dependent on how you make the game/map and how you get players to interact. TBH, if you replaced everyone in a game of BF4 with bots, I doubt many people would even notice -.-
