Same as with the Pilot gameplay, over the course of the trailer, and the switching between different players' point of views, you will see many different symbols for the Core Abilities, Tactical Abilities, Ordinance, the new "Defensive" Abilities, and Weapons (which I will still get to later):
As detailed
here (the Titanfall website), there are 6 titans going to be in the multiplayer, so far. 3 of them are revealed, with only a couple actually previewed in this trailer.
0:27-0:29 has a "Flame Core" Ability, a flame in front of a shield for the "Thermal Shield" Defensive ability, a flame in a diamond-shape for "Firewall" Ordinance, and a spinning gas canister in a green triangle-shape for the "Incendiary Trap" Tactical ability. This is the loadout of the "Scorch Titan". The Core Ability is described
here, as "creates a giant wave of fire that destroys anything in its path" that deals immense amounts of damage and leaves a trail of fire in its wake. This ability is also featured in the clips running
0:31-0:34,
1:09-1:22, and
1:26-1:40. The tactical ability is an incendiary trap, describe by the official Titanfall page as an ability that "deploys flammable gas canisters which can be triggered by the slightest spark." It is a green triangle-shaped symbol with a small gas canister with waves of gas spiraling out of it. The ordinance ability is featured in
0:56-0:59, and is described on the official Titanfall page as an ability that "fires a directed wall of thermite in the enemy's direction". The Defensive ability is not preview in this trailer, but is described (on the Titanfall page) as a shield that "liquifies incoming artillery while dealing damage to nearby enemies."
1:26-1:40 has a "Laser Core" Ability, a blue spiral "Vortex Shield" for the Defensive ability, a targeting "Laser Shot" for the Ordinance, and a "Tripwire" mine in a red triangle for the Tactical ability. This is the loadout of the "Ion Titan", as described by the official Titanfall webpage
here. The Core ability is featured in this same clip as well as
0:54-0:55, and seems to be a super-discharge of the core, focused into a single beam to damage the target. It's described on the Titanfall webpage as "a deadly oversized laser beam fired from the chest of the Ion and capable of stopping anything in its path." The spiral vortex defensive ability seems to be very similar to the
Vortex Shield that was in the original Titanfall. It's also described as a shield that "absorbs incoming fire and redirect it at the enemy", and can be seen in the clip running
0:27-0:29 in the background. The Laser-Shot ordinance small anti-infantry device that destroys small infantry or pilots, or maybe even incoming ordinance. It shows up, listed as a "Laser Shot" in the kill-feed, and is described on the Titanfall page as a "shoulder-mounted... lethal beam that cuts through anything in its way". This ability/equipment can also be seen on the right shoulder of the titan the player jumps over in the second clip in the trailer, at
0:19-0:23. The Tactical ability is not shown in the trailer, but is described as a "Laser triggered explosive mine", and symbolized by a mine on a blue triangle.
NOTE: As the clips I could make out were either all fire-themed or all laser-themed (pertaining to the Scorch and Ion titans, respectively), these are probably based on the different Titan model you pick. This is similar to how you would get the Speed Core with the Stryder, Damage Core with the Atlas, or the Shield Core with the Ogre Titan in the original Titanfall.There is one Titan that is not previewed at all, but is described on the official Titanfall page
here. It is the "Ronin" Titan, and has a "Sword Core," swords in front of a shield for the "Sword Block" Defensive ability, a lightning bolt in front of a blue diamond for the "Arc Wave" Ordinance, and an arrow in front of a green triangle for the "Phase Dash" Tactical ability. The Sword Core is described as a core that "empowers his melee and sword abilities, and gives access to new sword attacks". This has me assuming that the sword is the default weapon for this titan, and that normally, there are simple attacks, but the core unleashes faster, more dangerous attacks. The Sword Block is described as a shield that "reduces damage taken... can be held indefinitely", which is great to be able to have this ability at any time, rather than have to wait for a cooldown. The Arc Wave's description is "swiping his sword across the ground, Ronin creates an electrical wave that damages and slows enemies hit by it". This sounds like something that is not viable for anti-air combat (mid-air pilots, for instance), but it could have an electrical wave that goes outward and upward that would help with that. The Phase Dash seems fantastic, as it's described "Ronin dashes in a given direction, temporarily phasing out of the world, avoid incoming fire and creating the element of surprise". The Ronin must have its own personal warp transmitter, letting it cover some distance. I wonder if this would also allow large distances to be covered quickly, such as cross-map, with a good view?
