They've given false hope to the Titanfall community about supporting the game as it has been faced with problems. The issues that started last year haven't been officially addressed and they have gotten worse.

IMO Titanfall 2 is the best FPS. I have 600 hours of gameplay, however it's completely broken right now. It has been since October.
Prior to that it was being targeted for over a year and Respawn hardly did anything to actually correct the issue. I remember for the longest time you couldn't see the current player count. Then it came back one day and it was actually playable for several months. Then October (maybe September?) rolled around and most servers were unplayable. You'd get into a game, the latency would spike up to 1,000+ms and you'd be disconnected. Right now there's two servers you can play on and they're across the world.
I did forget about the Coalition, it will be interesting to see their new IP they're working on and what they have in mind for a GoW sequel.
For 343i it's not only that but it's the fact they don't really have "employees" working on the game, but contractors. From my understanding turnover is high and the people that actually built the game weren't even around any longer to see the release of the game. The game engine also sounds like it's difficult to work with which compounds the issue of not having the people that built the game around any longer.
I've been let down by most AAA studios, so I agree with that.

I don't care either way what happens with this deal, but man, 343i is not a great company either. They own the poster child for the Xbox and are messing up so badly with their latest release. I really don't have faith in any gaming company. Microsoft is one of the wealthiest companies in the world, they have a game studio focusing all their energy into a single game. They still screwed it up.
Respawn gave me hope several years ago. But then things change and the same people that built what was a great company are no longer involved and it goes to shit. See, Titanfall.

Turn 10 always seem to be solid with their releases. I wish I enjoyed racing games more! Forza was my favorite.
