Battle titans is comming out,and its great to have an alternative,but War Robots is a better game,no matter the pay 2 win issue.Battle titans is like playing TDM all the time,and that is boring!I just wanna hear your thoughts.

It just started. You have to give them time to grow it. In 2 years I imagine it to be bigger than War Robots.. hopefully more skill based too

1) Give it time to develop. They have plans but it takes time to put all the pieces together, and it’s nice that they are releasing it as a work in progress so people can start enjoying it. So a bit of patience and realistic expectations are appropriate
2) It isn’t War Robots, it is it’s own unique combat experience. You won’t be able to really enjoy it unless you stop comparing, let go of the War Robots experience while playing BoT, and fully immerse yourself in that experience. When you turn on BoT, imagine it’s the first Mech game you’ve ever encountered; try to see it as it’s own thing.
3) Why do people have to be so black and white about it? BoT doesn’t have to replace War Robots, just play whatever you’re in the mood for.
4) TDM will not be the only mode, but for now since it is, if we find it boring it’s because we are not exploring new tactics thoroughly enough. It is also a different experience to work together on tactics with fellow teammates, even being on voice comms. If you only play a little, go solo with low gear, and expect a War Robots experience, it is not surprising if you’re disappointed.
5) There is a growing thriving BoT community committed to having fun and both discussing the game and helping the developers refine the experience. I find it really fun and fulfilling and can see huge potential, especially after reading what the Devs have said about their plans.
6) Just because it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, it doesn’t mean the game itself sucks, since clearly there are many who enjoy it immensely, so haters should just play something else instead of BoT bashing.

One thing i do not like about BoT is the physics. They tried to give it a "realistic" touch and that is something i don't like in games.

The screen clutter is too much for me on a mobile platform. Will probably still have at as an option.

My personal OPINIONS after spending a good amount of time beta testing... - I still prefer War Robots's graphics. To ME, they're cleaner and just easier to follow what's going on around and in front of you. - While I applaud BoT dev's work at adding realism, TO ME you can reach a point where too much of it adversely affects game play. TO ME, BoT has just too much extra stuff going on, and it takes away from the gaming experience. - Upgradeability of bots and weapons in BoT is insane. I can see why some players would eat it up, because it makes for almost infinite upgrade and customizing possibilities. It's just not for me. I play games to relax, and if something requires too much thought or effort to understand, I don't find that relaxing. For all of War Robots's foibles, its upgrading strikes just about the right balance there. I don't want to steer anybody away from BoT, that's never been my intent. Although I'm personally disappointed in the current state it's in considering what I usually expect out of a Beta -- I think it's still more of an alpha test that's been opened up to up the public considering all the things that need fixing. But more than that, the whole package, between graphics, UI, physics and overall game play just doesn't do it for ME. And I don't think any amount of bug fixes will change that. That alone should mean absolutely zip to anybody else, as there are probably hundreds of games I've installed and deleted that came highly recommended by other players. So, with that being said, here are a few grains of salt for everybody to take this with.  |

– BoT looks really neat... too.
– BoT isnt "the answer" to growing frustrations with War Robots, its just a game too. An APP game that is susceptible to the same pain- points as War Robots,
– With my older iPad device, I can still play War Robots. I cant DL BoT no matter how many times Greg Hilton tries to explain it to me. Note: When it sez 'Your Device is not compatibls' then, Im guessing: MY DEVICE IS NOT COMPATIBLE

optimusprime, what is fascinating to me is there is a larger background context for BoT, and the Devs plans for modes and guilds and tournaments is really cool. Even though Nik has only given a generally explanation, I’m really excited for what’s coming.

Yeah, that would be a major positive for BoT, and I think the devs are very aware of the negative impact P2W has had on War Robots. Obviously they have to generate revenue somehow in order to survive, but they don't want any of the 'premium' purchases to create an imbalance. I think they're going to rely more on coolness and uniqueness to sell certain items. |

They tried to give it a "realistic" touch and that is something i don't like in games. wth you blind? have you seen they're homepage the background video where a small robot is fighting off the big one its jumping around like a grasshopper crawling up on the big one. The physic is way better and they gave the robot more unique dimension attribute on the robots movements, Pay Robot in other hand all move in the same orderly shallow Lego like way (example  ) which mean the robots become an easy shooting target. But with Battle titian realistic physic this will change the way we play Battle titian allow us to explore different strategy versus some dumb shallow shooting gallery in War Robots. |

I am not impressed by BoT. I honestly think a lot of people have their rose coloured glasses on because War Robots went P2W.. which is exactly what BoT will do if they ever get the chance.

I think they'll going to charge players for accessory items like allow them to carry more weapons or more slots but i doubt they'll make strong weapons and charge them for those. |

I think it has the potential to be a legitimate E-Sport if the game can actually be competitively balanced. |

Right now, it is only available in limited areas on IOS. It will be a long, hard wait for us Android users, but we should benefit from the wait, because hopefully the developers will have worked out most of the bugs and decided where they want to take the game by then. |

Any ideas when BoT will be available in the US?
What hooked me on War Robots is the physics and BoT looks like a dream, even if it is TDM. Really looking forward to it.

I installed BoT the other day and have played maybe 10 matches. I'm loving it. There is a depth and complexity to the game not found in War Robots. The player pool is small right now but the match maker populates the game with bots and starts the match in under 56 seconds. I like the hangar slot system and it seems like your earn a lot of the in game currency per match. It playes like a proper mech game rather than an arcade shooter that War Robots has become.

So...I’ve tried REAL hard to like BoT but I find it largely unplayable. Controls are odd and not as responsive, the weapons controls aren’t exactly intuitive, and the mechs move like they’re old men on walkers. Graphics are kinda kludgy and firefights chaotic. The mechs themselves look like they’ve been recycled from a mid-20th century junkyard. The hangar is a mess, and really, the whole game just is not user friendly. I realize it’s new and all, but it doesn’t come even remotely close to the experience of playing War Robots. I just reinstalled it to see if it had gotten any better since the last time and it actually felt worse than I remembered.
At this point, honestly, there’s just no comparison between the two games; BoT just has way too far to go to even enter the same league as War Robots.

I don't understand the complaints about the hangar system. I only have 4 Titans but I found it a breeze to add, equip and upgrade Titans compared to the painfully slow side scroll of one click at a time that is War Robots hangar system. This is not to mention passive/active modules and power cells which is confusing enough to veteran players.
It is a slower paced game compared to War Robots for sure. War Robots used to be much slower but the speed and power creep has taken the game into arcade territory for better or worse. Personally I like the slower movement speeds of the medium Titans although the movement of the M.A.O. is overly clunky. The slow stumpy robots shooting bullets and rockets reminds me of Walking War Robots or my Silver hanagr. There are consequences if you come out of cover and screw up. You can't just wander around and use a ability to dash or sprint off into cover as a reaction. You need to take note of your surroundings and enemy placement then formulate a game plan on how you want to proceed. I also like how the Titans have slots. A medium Titan is 2 slots and a light is 1 slot. With a hangar of 6 slots max you can have 6 light Titans, 3 medium or any combination that comes out to 6 or less. This keeps light bots relevant. That is one thing I disliked about my early days of War Robots when I had very little to dislike. Light bots and even the medium bots were almost useless once you unlocked access to heavy bots. The last time I saw a Cossak be useful was back in the britbot era playing BR. Players would drop and ECU Cossak as a 1st drop to cap center and spawn in an Ancilot to be a pain in the 「bum-bum」. In BoT the light bots are very useful as scouts or straight up assassins.

Maybe it's IOS thing then, because I don't remember it requiring it and I just checked and I'm not logged into my facebook. At a minimum, you could create an account and once you've got "Play Games" signed in (or whatever the IOS equivalent is), then delete the FB account. Or just make a dummy acct like folks do for War Robots to add friends.  |

Stopped. Went back. Meh. It's too clunky. Too hard to play. Its aiming controls are too difficult for a phone game. It's hard enough to finesse my aim on War Robots. BoT is just a crap shoot. Also, with no enemy damage bar and no concept of damage given or damage received, a huge component of satisfaction in gameplay is lost. I just doesn't suddenly during a fight, or they die. It's sooo cool looking and soooo mehhh to play. |
