Here is some more stuff that was found deep in the beta files. Obviously, it's the beta so it could change, but it appears there will be certain challenges that are required to reach each Regeneration. Here is some Menu text from beta: Incomplete Regen Requirements You must complete all the tiers of <number> more regen challenges(s) before you can continue. View Challenges Regen Requirements Challenges that are required to regen Requirements to reach next generation: Reach Max Level (confirmed to be Level 50 now via achievement list) Fully complete all challenges required for the next Generation To fully complete a challenge you must complete all 5 tiers of the challenge.

I I'll probably take that as a challenge to complete all of those, too bad it seems like there won't be titles/emblems like in COD, I loved trying to collect those...
That's kind of hard to say. Even if a person who goes through multiple Generations, they'll still have much more game knowledge than that of a newer player. It levels the playing ground a little bit, but not by much in the overall picture.
Thanks for that! It seems interesting to have this type of system in place. What are your guys' and gals' thoughts?
Those challenges don't look bad, and as you go through each generation you get try out a lot of different things. Definitely like this better than just the pure level repeat with the prestige system.
Same. Maybe its just but it looks like they did it this way so there wouldn't be boosters. Might be wrong tough
Yeah, not sure how I feel about this...I was never one to go for 1000 headshots to get gold camo or anything, and this system kind of screams that. So basically you could be at max level, but it could take you weeks to do some of these challenges if you never use some of these weapons...I am cautiously pessimistic at this approach at the moment.
Interesting. I am not sure as well how I will feel about this till I get into the full game and see how it all feels. That is a lot of work and cool if you have that kind of time. Might put off the casual players though. I guess you don't have to regen your Pilot and still enjoy the game...
Don't forget the part that says: You will be better, sharper, acquiring experience even faster than before. On NeoGAF Well it keeps removing the link on me Also from RazorUK I checked the function that adds experience at the end of a match and found the correct experience modifiers. It's all becoming a bit of a blur at this point but this should be right, haha. Again we have to remember that this is from BETA code! Generation 1 (starting) = 1.0x Generation 2 = 1.1x Generation 3 = 1.2x Generation 4 = 1.3x Generation 5 = 1.5x Generation 6 = 1.8x Generation 7 = 2.1x Generation 8 = 2.5x Generation 9 = 2.9x Generation 10 = 3.5x You get 3.5x experience when you are Generation 10.
I hope they're based on skill rather than time played. Every noob who spent 1000 hours on cod was max level, and it was more of a sign of "I have too much time on my hands" rather than a Halo 2 high rank which says "I have the reflexes and situational awareness of a god."
This looks great! Thanks for posting, I do like this element in a multiplayer game as it gives me something to go for and keep playing the game! Which I am sure I will be doing a lot...
This really does sound better thought out, I think the term Generations is actually pretty catchy and fits better with the futuristic setting, also I really like that moving up a generation has criteria and forces you to learn different aspects of the game you might never otherwise.
Well, the ranking and regenerating in Titanfall is not based on skill. It's purely based on how long you play and assuming you complete the required challenges.
I agree. In other games ppl would use the most op weapon and just use that the entire time as they rank up. Respawn is forcing you to learn the game with every weapon, this is a great idea. I for one am not a fan of sniper guns, but having to use it to rank up makes it a challenge. Can't wait
