Because in the lore sense both sides were down bad for resources and there was no viable way to mass produce modern titans they sometimes perfected and were forced to use older model that could still compete with newer titan but we're less species to there roles like an ogre platform with and ion kit and and stryder platform with 0xm 16 auto cannon rifle and etc just like you could customize your stuff in tf1 but the point of modern titan were to be more specilzed to there roles like ronin and it's hit and run tactics and scorch with its walking tank mentality and so on
I don't want to bash on Sodaz since the guy's tremendously talented and only one person, but this animation while incredible even then doesn't give the game justice it deserves. Everything you saw here can be recreated in actual gameplay and more. Shooting exposed pilot with a handung is one of the executions. Hell, the entire game is so soo smooth and fast and you can do such crazy things in it. I really, really recommend you trying it out
I was literally crying and yelling when seeing BT CROUCH down to protect the pilot. **"Protocol 3: Protect the pilot."** The freaking hype is here guys. I'm freaking lit.
Your animations literally just keep getting better and better. Everyone in this moved so smoothly, and Cooper was moving just as fast and ruthless as a pilot should
I love how agile all of the Titans feel, especially the Vanguards. Titans doing a jump-kick aren't things you'd initially think they could do- but those machines are surprisingly agile and powerful, at least in all of the executions and scripted moments... I love how you brought that to life and made it actually part of how they fight, beyond what we see them just do as gameplay. And the Vanguards, they're just turned up to eleven. Sliding out of cover, jump-kicking a Titan, leaping as high as another Titan is tall to get to a flying Northstar... Fucking love it.
A bit too agile on the jumping action, but other fastness is actually spot-on, like sprinting or punching, it really gets you to feel how dangerous these titans actually are, same goes to the pilots themselves.
@@ryz_vik Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the Pilots. As for the Titans, the jumping doesn't seem that bad to me. I think the most important scripted instance that comes to mind is actually from Titanfall 1's 'campaign', specifically the Made Men mission. If you search for a video of the Militia's intro to that mission, it shows a Titan climbing up and leaping off the side of a building and onto a dropship, disabling it by ripping out the dropship pilot. There's also Tone's default execution too that shows Tone leaping that high. Those are just a few examples though. I do admit though that it does seem unrealistic how high they jump, but it's not like such movement hasn't been seen before at all.
Personally I think they fall too quickly. Just because they're heavier doesn't mean they fall faster, so there could have been more hang time. Otherwise yeah!
My only question is what did THAT Northstar do to BT and Jack? Jesus man. Nee. Welp at least they didn't get the same Lipton experience that I gave viper
I like how they included a few of the old models for the Titans, like the old Atlas that gets wrecked by the Northstar’s missiles, or the one enemy Ogre that BT destroys in order to save Cooper.
Respawn: keeps ignoring Titanfall for Apex Sodaz: "Fine, I'll do it myself." Seriously though, this encapsulates the relationship between Jack and BT perfectly.
This better be a clear message to Respawn. We will always love Titanfall, and we will fight tooth and nail with the courage and valor of the pilots we play as for our game.
@@pugnationo50yearsago54 how about this, if the community can beat the whole redrawn team. They have to work on it again and if they win we shut up? They can't stop... millions
This is really good. I like that you showed BT using other titan weapons like he would in the campaign. Also that you show Jack being challenged and solving problems like a player might, rather than having him walk through everybody.
Damm, this is amazing. Also damn you for putting tears in my eyes. Not only can I not hear BT say "Protocol 3, protect the Pilot" without tearing up, how you did it was perfection.

There's only one thing I see wrong with this. Cooper wasn't picking up a new gun every 3minutes due to running out of ammo. But this version of copper is much cooler and don't need that
This animation was a joy to watch the first time and the twenty first time Your usage of in game voice lines, and soundtrack made this feel like an official animation, and in conjunction with your superb animation, made this a visual treat to behold, which rivals, if not outright surpasses the source material The weight behind Jack and his movements where incredible, as where the movements of both militia and IMC titans (the ions death was awesome!) and each factions personnel, resulting in (when accompanied by the vast number of subtle touches (like the grunts checking corners and weapons')) a world and characters that feel real! This is without even mentioning the ludicrous attention to detail that has been sprinkled throughout the animation, like the grunts assembling into squads like they do in game or the jump kit flaring up as Jack moves The IMC starting off by thrashing the Militia was also very smart, as not only does it further show how competent Cooper and BT are, but also how the Titan wars was such an uphill battle for the Militia There are also various sections dotted thorough the animation that parallel scenes and executions from Titan fall that where always fun to spot, and made the animation have a great deal of re-watch value (like Latomosa's intro cutscene being paralleled by Jacks intro in this, the Ions plasma rifle simply dispersing across the Atlas's vortex shield (like it does in game), the end of the animation (the Militias arrival) being similar to the start of "Trial by fire" from TF2, BT referencing Ronin's execution and Vipers death scene, or the Ogre referencing Tones execution, ETC) (The inclusion of TF1 assets was also a wonderful touch) Jacks fighting style was an incredible blend of both Anderson and Lastamosa, with hints of TF2 executions thrown in for good measure, making him nothing short of a treat to watch as he utilizes every possible part of his arsenal (ranging from data knives to RE-45's!) as he seamlessly changes between running (on both the ground and the walls) and (spectacularly animated) long and close range combat (and lets not forget the famous jump kit) The insane agility of BT and the vanguards and Strider class titans (I'm not even gonna start on Cooper, because we'll be here all week if I do) was a grand ol' touch (because if your telling me "Papa scorch" can jump (in his execution in game), what's stopping the lighter and more advanced titans (respectively) from doing the same?) (that being said if I have one complaint it is that the titans jets don't spark when they zip about, as it would have helped justify their hyper mobility (but that's just being very nitpicky on my behalf, and by no means takes away from the animation)) I can only imagine how much effort was put into this, and for that alone I applaud you However, on top of that, you have produced an incredible Animation that rivals that of massive game companies, with a fun little story to boot Good on ya!
This helps to truly show the power of a vanguard titan, they don’t just switch between loadouts, they have them all and can use them as long as they have the correct gadgets and guns
I've always dreamed of seeing a fully animated fight between titans that I could just watch, and LO IT HAS BEEN GIVEN UNTO ME Your talent is immeasurable!
There's something about Sodaz's animations that gives every punch, every bullet, every explosive, this heavy and weighted impact that really makes it feel like they do the damage that they're meant to deal.
That pistol kill on the exposed pilot made my jaw drop, and that's saying something when you consider how absolutely mental your videos already are! You are incredible, my friend.
The authenticity on display here is ridiculous. Not only is Cooper an unstoppable badass, but the grunts are even divided up into their little fireteams just like Attrition. Their tactics are actually pretty believable. Your lighting outdoors looks pretty flat, but other than that the visuals are great
POV: your an IMC grunt and you see a green flare dash at the speed of light and murder your teammates with the weakest bullet ever invented [9mm | car SMG]
Sick animation. Deserves way more views. The ending part where the allies came in gave me literal chills. Can't even name one wrong thing about this. Great freaking job!
@@r138-y6 it does hurt their business tho. Because content creators like sodaz used to make high quality advertisement that does not cost anything to GW(literally nothing). On top of that other content creators (like carbot) would avoid making wh animation in the future. Which is logic :)
Battletech has such a clearly defined aesthetic, it's always a joy to see those mechs in motion. In the Mechwarrior games I'm too busy fighting them to sit and watch the animations, and in the Battletech tactics/RPG I'm too anxious about my mechwarriors being killed to enjoy it.
Incredible work. Glad to see you back, sincerely. I still can't get over how fluid you've got stuff. Honestly, it feels like these could be in-game cinematics! And the use of voice lines and music in the right place absolutely nails it :) Genuinely felt hyped when Marauder Corps and the SRS showed up!
This nostalgia hit me hard, I miss titanfall, and the fact, that we do not have any idea for the 3rd part for 4 years is making me anxious if we ever will recieve any. I hate EA for what they have done to Titanfalls universe, cashing on Battle Royales with Apex Legends, I think we can bury any hope for Titanfall 3 in its past glory.
other than the titans feeling a little too fast, freaking phenominal fan film. I could just watch Cooper run and gun for hours, loved his running animation, hella solid.
THIS IS SIMPLY INCREDIBLE, AMAZING AND HONESTLY A MASTERPIECE, AND I DON'T THINK IT NEEDS TO BE "PERFECT" TO BE THAT. IT IS ENOUGH FOR ME BY JUST SEEING THE HUGE AMOUNT OF PASSION PUT INTO THIS. BRAVO! JUST BRAVO! SHALL TITANFALL FOREVER LIVE!
When GW told their fanbase to "fuck off" on their IP, fortunately, we have creators like this wonderful lad that has a passion for all things sci-fi. Looking forward towards your Star Wars one SODAZ. Keep up the great work!
You know it was Warhammer fans that stopped Sodaz from making Warhammer videos right? Like literally they called him a shill and a sell out among other things for accepting the job offer. So tbh if GW tells their fan base to fuck off. I'm kinda with them on that.
@@lokenothsg5298 And do you know why the 'fans' harrassed him? Because of communication issues. Do you know why he quit in the first place? He was left to dry. GW did nothing for a month. A small percentage of his 'fans' attacked him, and GW did nothing to support him. Both carry the blame, but GW deserves its title as the cause.
@@Dragonspirit223 So the fans called him a sell-out and a shill over miscommunication issues? What exactly was miscommunicated? That he'd received a job offer? Seems he was pretty clear about that. And you know what it takes time between a job offer and your actual contract being received right? (Also month it was 2 weeks last time I checked) But yknow heaven forbid GW did not have a contract ready on the day they approached him that both satisfied UK and international Law during a pandemic, as well as the logisitics ironed out for whether he'd be working from home or need a visa to come to the UK. So if you want to blame Gw for being slow I guess go for it? But you can't blame him quitting because of shitty fans on anything other than shitty fans. What did you want GW to do? Tell them to stop being shitty? You need companies to tell you to behave? Do you think those people would even listen to GW? They don't even listen to the animators they pretend to defend! Heck you just need to read the Warhammer + reviews to see those amazing people who totally 1000% supported those animators (Who do need to actually be paid btw) hear how the content that those people are making is now somehow shit and would only watch it if it was free. Like holy hell those "Few" guys are pretty fucking vocal and I respect Sodaz's decision to say Fuck us all because here we are you and me talking about who REALLY is to blame for harassing sodaz and well it wasn't GW now was it.
@@lokenothsg5298 I don't fault GW for not having a contract ready, I fault them for leaving him to dry. Of course they aren't going to tell the 'Fans' to stop, they couldn't really get message out and it probably wouldn't have done squat. I fault them for not reaching out in support. They effectively ghosted him for a month (and from what I remember it was a month, but that may be misrememering) of no support, and little income from Patreon (as that was cut down just like the other groups as its a different source of income) and less from RUclips with his videos gone. As I said, in my opinion, both parties are to blame. I say the 'Fans' were more at fault for backstabbing, its unacceptable. But I also see GWs action as the start of it all. Was the result unintentional? Yeah. But to me they hold a share of fault.
@@Dragonspirit223 Your definition of ghosting him is I think my issue here. Do you think they were aware he was getting any shit off anyone, or were even expecting him to get any? Because BOY OH BOY not a single person who was aware or even reporting on the issue (the ones pretending they cared that is) decided to even say a bad thing about the fans harassing him. Arch? Nope, Majorkill? Nope Valrak? Nope. The only person who even said "boy this was fucked up" was another animator who had declined GW's Offer. And did anyone listen to him? NO the same lot who pretended to care came up with conspiracies about GW that not a single bloody animator even the ones who rejected the offer could collaborate for them and when confronted on it they gave a god damn response that a tory back bencher would be proud of. Like honestly I don't get why you guys even need to come up with some ill conceived mitigating factor to alleviate part of the blame from a shitty fan base? You don't need to put any portion of the blame at GW's feet on this singular occasion. All blame needs to be directed at those shitheaded individuals who are so incapable of managing their baby rage for a company that they piss over anyone and everyone affiliated with them.
As someone who played both titanfalls and is still playing it even after years going by seeing this much work out into a animation was amazing and by far the best I’ve seen so far, good job and amazing work.
The tiny details in this are insane. The mobile-turret bouncing a bit when there was an explosion, the sound of the shells of the Ogre Titan’s bullets hitting the ground, the ships coming in from hyperspace. It’s so, so cool.
This was extremely sick, the best I can do is above average stick animation, and increasingly better flip a clip animations, you're an inspiration Sodaz, keep doing you my man, and keep making these amazing animations
When Cooper and BT were downed i got ptsd from the game crying "NOT AGAIN!". Then i hear "stand by for titan fall" and the VANGARDS rain down like the badasses they are. Best 5 min ever!
Nice how the Resistance forces (who are practically broke) were all using a mix of Vanguard titans and the Atlas titans from the 1st game, while the (better funded) IMC were using the models from the 2nd game. I'm now subbing to you.
bruh this is nuts I love how physical the impacts are on the Titans. In game I'm sorta used to them just eating rockets/punches and seeing a health bar go down; super cool to see the rockets, punches, and broadsword really connect and whack them around here. also badass seeing BT just run up to the Northstar and take him for a spin
This brought a tear to my eyes u have no idea how much I wanted to play titanfall and the day I could get titanfall they closed there games which hurts
I LOVED THIS, this is what like to see when titans are portrayed and how powerful pilots are, and the skill of the cooper in those fights is perfect....is there gonna be a part 2....
This is what happens when a fan makes a passion project. You get a good video like this. The fights felt believable and the movements of the mechas, while lumbering, were also rather slick. A good combination. All in all a solid representation of why people love Titanfall. The mech battling and the characters.
I cannot stress enough how much I love this video. I've watched it multiple times, and I will always, _always_ love it. A Pilot and a Vanguard-class Titan work together like a well-oiled machine, and Cooper and BT are a perfect example of this.
this was absolutely amazing , it's such a breath of fresh air seeing such wonderful titanfall content and it demonstrates how dedicated its fans truly are
Fantastic work as always! I'm glad you're branching off into different franchises instead of shutting down like other channels. Maybe do some star wars content in the future as well?
Nice to start watching your animations again, I forgot how intertaining your little combat stories were, and looking forwards to your next projects. I'm sorry about the whole GW thing not working out, I was really excited for you to be given the opportunity to be hired by GW to do the thing you already did, but I'm glad to see you're still working on animations and throwing your stuff out there! Cya on the next vid -Hive
Such an awesome masterpiece here my man. Respect that U chose Titanfall as a focus for such a great game with little notice from the public. Hope you continue doing such amazing animations as always.
This brings such a smile watching this. It absolutely enjoyed it. What a great film, we need more of this. I just got unreal engine a while ago, now doing some tutorials. When I got some skills, I’m also gonna make a titanfall 2 film like this one. As low as the chances are, keep hoping for titanfall 3

The weight behind Jack and his movements where incredible, as where the movements of both militia and IMC titans (the ions death was awesome!) and each factions personnel, resulting in (when accompanied by the vast number of subtle touches (like the grunts checking corners and weapons')) a world and characters that feel real!
This is without even mentioning the ludicrous attention to detail that has been sprinkled throughout the animation, like the grunts assembling into squads like they do in game or the jump kit flaring up as Jack moves
The IMC starting off by thrashing the Militia was also very smart, as not only does it further show how competent Cooper and BT are, but also how the Titan wars was such an uphill battle for the Militia
There are also various sections dotted thorough the animation that parallel scenes and executions from Titan fall that where always fun to spot, and made the animation have a great deal of re-watch value (like Latomosa's intro cutscene being paralleled by Jacks intro in this, the Ions plasma rifle simply dispersing across the Atlas's vortex shield (like it does in game), the end of the animation (the Militias arrival) being similar to the start of "Trial by fire" from TF2, BT referencing Ronin's execution and Vipers death scene, or the Ogre referencing Tones execution, ETC)
(The inclusion of TF1 assets was also a wonderful touch)
Jacks fighting style was an incredible blend of both Anderson and Lastamosa, with hints of TF2 executions thrown in for good measure, making him nothing short of a treat to watch as he utilizes every possible part of his arsenal (ranging from data knives to RE-45's!) as he seamlessly changes between running (on both the ground and the walls) and (spectacularly animated) long and close range combat (and lets not forget the famous jump kit)
The insane agility of BT and the vanguards and Strider class titans (I'm not even gonna start on Cooper, because we'll be here all week if I do) was a grand ol' touch (because if your telling me "Papa scorch" can jump (in his execution in game), what's stopping the lighter and more advanced titans (respectively) from doing the same?) (that being said if I have one complaint it is that the titans jets don't spark when they zip about, as it would have helped justify their hyper mobility (but that's just being very nitpicky on my behalf, and by no means takes away from the animation))
I can only imagine how much effort was put into this, and for that alone I applaud you
However, on top of that, you have produced an incredible Animation that rivals that of massive game companies, with a fun little story to boot
Good on ya!
Cooper: Get the Arc out of here!
Bt-7274: Negative we are trapped.
Cooper: What are you doing?
Bt-7274: I will not lose another pilot.
*"brace for impact."*
So sad
More like:"im not gonna left you again"

Cooper: "What......?"

When you need help and the homies suddenly get on line.
This helps to truly show the power of a vanguard titan, they don’t just switch between loadouts, they have them all and can use them as long as they have the correct gadgets and guns

I'm here off the recent Titanfall 2 revival. Seeing Jack and BT together again made me sniffle. You did great work here.
I like the blend of titanfall 1 and 2 titans, makes it feel more like an actual progresive war
I've always dreamed of seeing a fully animated fight between titans that I could just watch, and LO IT HAS BEEN GIVEN UNTO ME
Your talent is immeasurable!
Thanks obama
There's something about Sodaz's animations that gives every punch, every bullet, every explosive, this heavy and weighted impact that really makes it feel like they do the damage that they're meant to deal.
even the glore, when that one titan fell one soldiers (*ehem* Npc) looks sick
I couldn't hold the tears back anymore When he's said "Protocal 3... Protect The Pilot" 💔😫😭🤧 I miss you BT
That pistol kill on the exposed pilot made my jaw drop, and that's saying something when you consider how absolutely mental your videos already are! You are incredible, my friend.
The authenticity on display here is ridiculous. Not only is Cooper an unstoppable badass, but the grunts are even divided up into their little fireteams just like Attrition. Their tactics are actually pretty believable. Your lighting outdoors looks pretty flat, but other than that the visuals are great
An *almost* unstoppable badass. He DID get caught off guard by that sniper…
Fair enough
@@chaoitcdie6444 PHACKING DMR CAMPERS
Pretty sure the lighting is just some of the limitations of sfm.
@@unnown39061 I wish we could see what Sodaz could do with other tools like Blender, but I feel he's right at home working with SFM.
absolutely gorgeous, you should have Jack use his jump kit more though. Pilots are always flying all over the place.
Bet that's gonna be hard to animate.

Sick animation. Deserves way more views. The ending part where the allies came in gave me literal chills. Can't even name one wrong thing about this. Great freaking job!
GW and the cancerous part of the Fanbase are going to find out what they are missing out on! My god, this is pure *TALENT!*
May the God Emperor have mercy on their souls 😅
@@captainvalourous6668 For Chaos shall set the GW BURN!
Cant believe a few toxic people lost the 40k community such a talented person, smh
@@davesprivatelounge As a 40K fan, it makes me truly sad as well. But hey! At least I can watch SODAZ do other stuff! It'll always be cool!
So confirming Sodaz quit contract with GW?
Someone needs to tell Lawyers to stay the hell away from animators….. Knowing TF2’s devs, they’re all for this sort of fan creation.
Doubt they will go after creators when they themselves released SFM for free so others can make content using it.
@@renzmanzano4010 GWs reasoning for taking down videos was about copyright laws.
@@sergeyk9060 they only take down if the animator is making money from it. Which is logic.
@@r138-y6 it does hurt their business tho. Because content creators like sodaz used to make high quality advertisement that does not cost anything to GW(literally nothing). On top of that other content creators (like carbot) would avoid making wh animation in the future. Which is logic :)
@@r138-y6 the new GW guidelines clearly state no unlicensed fan animations are to be produced. No exceptions.
HORAAAY!!! SODAZ IS BACK!!!
On a side note: I'm imagining what he could do with "Battletech"... Stompy robots Galore!!!
Even better, he could animate Goat Simulator and it is still better.
Battletech has such a clearly defined aesthetic, it's always a joy to see those mechs in motion.
In the Mechwarrior games I'm too busy fighting them to sit and watch the animations, and in the Battletech tactics/RPG I'm too anxious about my mechwarriors being killed to enjoy it.
BATTLETECH robots don't really move like this. they're basically walking battleships so it really wouldn't work like this does.
Dude this is SICK! Especially love Cooper's run at 1:51. Great fluidity in the movement.
Incredible work. Glad to see you back, sincerely.
I still can't get over how fluid you've got stuff. Honestly, it feels like these could be in-game cinematics! And the use of voice lines and music in the right place absolutely nails it :) Genuinely felt hyped when Marauder Corps and the SRS showed up!
I have a question, do you know want he uses to make these videos?
I like how the Titans are portrayed as heavy-hitting but also squishy at the same time.
So glad you didn't stop with your animations, you are a bloody legend and this is great.
It's impressive how heavy you made the titans feel
This nostalgia hit me hard, I miss titanfall, and the fact, that we do not have any idea for the 3rd part for 4 years is making me anxious if we ever will recieve any. I hate EA for what they have done to Titanfalls universe, cashing on Battle Royales with Apex Legends, I think we can bury any hope for Titanfall 3 in its past glory.
The Legend Himself Returns!
Amazing work man I love the cunning sense in combat & that there’s a struggle instead of it being one sided.
YES, SO GOOOD
I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much speaking in one of your animations before, love it!
other than the titans feeling a little too fast, freaking phenominal fan film. I could just watch Cooper run and gun for hours, loved his running animation, hella solid.
THIS IS SIMPLY INCREDIBLE, AMAZING AND HONESTLY A MASTERPIECE, AND I DON'T THINK IT NEEDS TO BE "PERFECT" TO BE THAT. IT IS ENOUGH FOR ME BY JUST SEEING THE HUGE AMOUNT OF PASSION PUT INTO THIS.
BRAVO! JUST BRAVO! SHALL TITANFALL FOREVER LIVE!
*abysmal
Uhhhh... abysmal means extremely bad
A for effort max.
HAHAHAHA well I'm sorry, my main language isn't english soooo godammit, well the intention is there isn't it?
@@maximilianolanatta7256 no problem man, english can be hard.
When GW told their fanbase to "fuck off" on their IP, fortunately, we have creators like this wonderful lad that has a passion for all things sci-fi. Looking forward towards your Star Wars one SODAZ. Keep up the great work!
You know it was Warhammer fans that stopped Sodaz from making Warhammer videos right? Like literally they called him a shill and a sell out among other things for accepting the job offer.
So tbh if GW tells their fan base to fuck off. I'm kinda with them on that.
@@lokenothsg5298 And do you know why the 'fans' harrassed him? Because of communication issues. Do you know why he quit in the first place? He was left to dry. GW did nothing for a month. A small percentage of his 'fans' attacked him, and GW did nothing to support him.
Both carry the blame, but GW deserves its title as the cause.
@@Dragonspirit223 So the fans called him a sell-out and a shill over miscommunication issues?
What exactly was miscommunicated? That he'd received a job offer? Seems he was pretty clear about that. And you know what it takes time between a job offer and your actual contract being received right? (Also month it was 2 weeks last time I checked)
But yknow heaven forbid GW did not have a contract ready on the day they approached him that both satisfied UK and international Law during a pandemic, as well as the logisitics ironed out for whether he'd be working from home or need a visa to come to the UK.
So if you want to blame Gw for being slow I guess go for it? But you can't blame him quitting because of shitty fans on anything other than shitty fans. What did you want GW to do? Tell them to stop being shitty? You need companies to tell you to behave? Do you think those people would even listen to GW? They don't even listen to the animators they pretend to defend! Heck you just need to read the Warhammer + reviews to see those amazing people who totally 1000% supported those animators (Who do need to actually be paid btw) hear how the content that those people are making is now somehow shit and would only watch it if it was free.
Like holy hell those "Few" guys are pretty fucking vocal and I respect Sodaz's decision to say Fuck us all because here we are you and me talking about who REALLY is to blame for harassing sodaz and well it wasn't GW now was it.
@@lokenothsg5298 I don't fault GW for not having a contract ready, I fault them for leaving him to dry. Of course they aren't going to tell the 'Fans' to stop, they couldn't really get message out and it probably wouldn't have done squat. I fault them for not reaching out in support. They effectively ghosted him for a month (and from what I remember it was a month, but that may be misrememering) of no support, and little income from Patreon (as that was cut down just like the other groups as its a different source of income) and less from RUclips with his videos gone.
As I said, in my opinion, both parties are to blame. I say the 'Fans' were more at fault for backstabbing, its unacceptable. But I also see GWs action as the start of it all. Was the result unintentional? Yeah. But to me they hold a share of fault.
@@Dragonspirit223 Your definition of ghosting him is I think my issue here.
Do you think they were aware he was getting any shit off anyone, or were even expecting him to get any? Because BOY OH BOY not a single person who was aware or even reporting on the issue (the ones pretending they cared that is) decided to even say a bad thing about the fans harassing him. Arch? Nope, Majorkill? Nope Valrak? Nope. The only person who even said "boy this was fucked up" was another animator who had declined GW's Offer.
And did anyone listen to him? NO the same lot who pretended to care came up with conspiracies about GW that not a single bloody animator even the ones who rejected the offer could collaborate for them and when confronted on it they gave a god damn response that a tory back bencher would be proud of.
Like honestly I don't get why you guys even need to come up with some ill conceived mitigating factor to alleviate part of the blame from a shitty fan base?
You don't need to put any portion of the blame at GW's feet on this singular occasion. All blame needs to be directed at those shitheaded individuals who are so incapable of managing their baby rage for a company that they piss over anyone and everyone affiliated with them.
Am I allowed to say that the thing that impressed me the most was the camerawork and the screenshakes? They were absolutely amazing!
You are allowed to say your opinions and stuff :)
As someone who played both titanfalls and is still playing it even after years going by seeing this much work out into a animation was amazing and by far the best I’ve seen so far, good job and amazing work.
Dude please, the “protect the pilot” is going to make me cry :’)
X2
The tiny details in this are insane. The mobile-turret bouncing a bit when there was an explosion, the sound of the shells of the Ogre Titan’s bullets hitting the ground, the ships coming in from hyperspace. It’s so, so cool.
Where’s the ogre, I never saw one
This was extremely sick, the best I can do is above average stick animation, and increasingly better flip a clip animations, you're an inspiration Sodaz, keep doing you my man, and keep making these amazing animations
I love how all Titans have some form of personality when fighting by themselves, such as BT
ruclips.net/video/pfuvhCE-AEs/видео.html
As a die hard Titan Fall fan this brings so much joy to my life that you simply can’t comprehend it! THANK YOU!!!
I'm so glad that Titanfall is getting some much needed love from such a skilled animator. You are amazing Sodaz.
It was cool to see how badass a pilot is, I loved how you made it even more badass. The only thing that was weird was the BF4 characters.
He did that so you didn’t have only one type of soldier during the battles. It gives it the feeling that it’s more than just grunts.

Wait which part? I didnt notice them

as a titan fall 2 vet very good work loved the animashing time you put in to this
When Cooper and BT were downed i got ptsd from the game crying "NOT AGAIN!". Then i hear "stand by for titan fall" and the VANGARDS rain down like the badasses they are. Best 5 min ever!
High quilty animations, good voice splicing, great effects. You've done it again SODAZ
Nice how the Resistance forces (who are practically broke) were all using a mix of Vanguard titans and the Atlas titans from the 1st game, while the (better funded) IMC were using the models from the 2nd game.
I'm now subbing to you.
This honestly was the best thing I've seen about titanfall since the release of monarch
God damn this is one hell of an animation, loved all the details you put in to 💙
you put more effort into this than respawn put into Titanfall these last few years, this is incredible, this is my headcannon
bruh this is nuts
I love how physical the impacts are on the Titans. In game I'm sorta used to them just eating rockets/punches and seeing a health bar go down; super cool to see the rockets, punches, and broadsword really connect and whack them around here.
also badass seeing BT just run up to the Northstar and take him for a spin
This brought a tear to my eyes u have no idea how much I wanted to play titanfall and the day I could get titanfall they closed there games which hurts
I LOVED THIS, this is what like to see when titans are portrayed and how powerful pilots are, and the skill of the cooper in those fights is perfect....is there gonna be a part 2....
This is what happens when a fan makes a passion project. You get a good video like this. The fights felt believable and the movements of the mechas, while lumbering, were also rather slick. A good combination. All in all a solid representation of why people love Titanfall. The mech battling and the characters.
I cannot stress enough how much I love this video. I've watched it multiple times, and I will always, _always_ love it. A Pilot and a Vanguard-class Titan work together like a well-oiled machine, and Cooper and BT are a perfect example of this.
I've lost count of how many times I have watched this, still hits like the first time, Love all your work Sodaz! Nothing holds you down!
this was absolutely amazing , it's such a breath of fresh air seeing such wonderful titanfall content and it demonstrates how dedicated its fans truly are
Got teary eyed at the ending. Glad to see more SODAZ back
You've managed to give me goosebumps, not very easy to do that. I have to say, you are truly AMAZING at your work. Keep it going!
Everytime that Good ol theme comes on im always ready to saddle up and stand by.. FOR TITANFALL
SODAZ YOU DID IT AGAIN DAMNNIIT!!
that final execution on that Ronin was stellar,would love to see more of that!
Absolutely beautiful loving every moment of this it’s nice to see a fellow Titanfall 2 person that is as passionate about the franchise as you
When he cracked open the enemy titans hatch and shot him I lost my shit! This was so good I'm sharing this everyone of my friends
Titanfall 2 getting this kind of love so recently is awesome. It’s still one of the best shooters ever made and also one of the coolest IPs out there.
Your work is amazing as always! The fluid movements along with all of the intense action going on at the same time makes this feel like a real movie!
Loved this - especially the touch where Coop was shot in the same arm that BT lost. Fantastic work, inspiring, moving and uplifting. Keep it up, man!
yeah. shows that titans truly are extensions of the pilot and that the pilots kind of feel what the titan does.
Fantastic work as always! I'm glad you're branching off into different franchises instead of shutting down like other channels. Maybe do some star wars content in the future as well?
god or mass effect/starcarft/superheroes?
anything really

Nice to start watching your animations again, I forgot how intertaining your little combat stories were, and looking forwards to your next projects.

Such an awesome masterpiece here my man. Respect that U chose Titanfall as a focus for such a great game with little notice from the public.
Hope you continue doing such amazing animations as always.
This brings such a smile watching this. It absolutely enjoyed it. What a great film, we need more of this. I just got unreal engine a while ago, now doing some tutorials. When I got some skills, I’m also gonna make a titanfall 2 film like this one. As low as the chances are, keep hoping for titanfall 3
