titanfall ~

only problem was lack of customizable stuff
they added a ton of features in patches so im thinking it was rushed to market a bit
still the gameplay was solid as hell

...And there being no replay value.
And no campaign for single-player only players (yes, those folks exist)
And no server browser for PC (surely they listened to this one for 2?)
And they segmented the dwindling playerbase because EA mandated pay-for dlc maps (hopefully EA learned from this one but given BF: Hardline and other titles, probably not. :/).

But yes, it was rushed out the door because EA was tired of the troubled development.

Edit: Meh, "announcement of an announcement." They need to show gameplay and/or show they heard complaints off ASAP. Not announce and wait a month or two before showing it completely. :/

All the above is true but the actual core gameplay blows away anything out there currently with the exception of Rainbow 6 siege.

Disagree with both. The one thing that blew me away about Titanfall was the seemless "Parkour" system and chaining those wall-runs. Otherwise it's another Arena shooter with robots that couldn't fit the maps. Siege is Counter-Strike with Bad Company/Frostbite Engine destruction. :yeshrug They aren't that super revolutionary if you've played a ton of shooters. But in a sea of shooter releases, they are different enough to warrant a look. The major problem for Titanfall going forward is needing a "hook" beyond the Parkour and Robot system and not doing paid-for DLC if they fail to gain traction currently.

Eh Seige isn't like Bad Conpany. In BC at the end of the day the destruction was pointless and almost just aesthetic. It didn't really change the way Battlefield played.

In Seige destruction is a mechanic unto itself and changes the way a player mat go about either attacking or defending. Many areas can be chipped through for actual shots. The ceiling of a place may not even be safe as players can easily shoot down or above and kill an enemy. How you even use walls becomes a point in some games. When is a wall even important in a BC game? I don't even remember chipping through a small corner of a wall just to hopefully get an angle on someone inside a room. The sound of walls breaking is something defenders actually want to listen to.

Knowing points of destruction is an advantage as it can lead to key points or paths or even hiding places.

In BC it was a cool thing that hardly effected the game. Oh I guess there's no cover anymore. In Seige you have to be smart about how it actually works.

Kind of sounds like your're talking out of your ass here.

He was active discussing the game in the Siege threads IIRC.

And BC2 allowed you to change the flow of the maps, it just wasn't as blatantly evident. In Siege you're changing the internal flow of the buildings. BC and BC2 changed the value of areas to the team, especially when key cover was leveled around/near capture points/flanks. They're also different games at the base, with Siege following in CS's close quarters small squads combat model. Battlefield is...a battlefield with tanks and shit. Also, in BC, you respawn multiple times. So the map alterations become a progressive thing. (dat endgame camera view showing the paths of destruction carved through the town or whatever yes plz)

Titanfall's titans were less interesting ultimately than the insane movement system in general. I hope they don't ignore that while also drastically improving the titan combat.

I also don't like steelbooks that replace the normal box.

It depends on what you want to play. It looks like EA is trying to appeal to different FPS players and also wants to put TF2 up against CoD.

I'm sure they do attract slightly different crowds but when a massive shooter comes out it tends to suck the air out of the room for other shooters for a few weeks minimum.

I want them both but the reality is I'll probably only buy one at launch and then wait for a sale on the other.

This looks good.  Campaign looks terrible (doesn't even look like a campaign with levels; looks like story scenes + fighting enemies on multiplayer maps), but the multiplayer looks really nice.  Did the first Titanfall have bots? 
Title: Re: Teaser for the Sequel to MP Game of the Generation
Post by: benjipwns on June 14, 2016, 06:12:44 AM
sorta...

there's no AI controlled Pilots, which are what humans play as, but there are all sorts of AI controlled grunts/spectres, including snipers, anti-titan and such and all the titans have rather smart AI. Frontier Defense shows this off as humans vs. swarms of AI titans, grunts, spectres, etc. but there's no opposing Pilots.

I imagine the Pilots mobility, climbing walls, etc. is why there's no AI versions of them. Everything using the AI was ground bound and navigated the basic map, not all the traversal. 2 might add them though, who knows. Or a more advanced bot class that has some of the capabilities.

The campaign in the original was literally just playing the multiplayer maps in a certain order with cutscenes before and after the match, like Brink did. IIRC, this one is supposed to be more of a hybrid between that and a traditional CoD campaign. Maybe something like Bad Company 2, which reused the multiplayer maps as sections of the single player levels, but altered them, added objectives, added connecting areas, etc.

I'm interested in hearing ur take Stoney. I got a key 2 days early and I'm just not really feeling it as much as I felt TF. Even intially.

It's slower, and both modes in the test right now promote camping heavily. One map in particular as well. It's looking like one of those modes is replacing Attrition too which is :unamused:

Everything is different or slightly off. Titan gameplay is different, movement is different, map design is different and even aiming is a little off/different. I don't understand why they couldn't just make Titanfall with more graphical polish and more content/customization but oh well.

I'm trying to stay open, see how this and next weekends tech test go. Right now its basically me and like 400 ppl playing total but it hasn't been great so far.

Had this cool moment though:
http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Tokubetsu/video/206673343

EDIT: Also the two populated modes right now, Bounty Hunter and Hardpoint, greatly encourage camping and turtling tactics. Right now the game seems to discourage aggressive actions what with how all pilots basically glow bright red/orange even at great distances too.

Post by: Stoney Mason on August 19, 2016, 01:12:04 PM
I played it for a bit before I come back home tonight and I see what toku is talking about. My initial impression is that unfortunately they listened too much to the idiots and made it more cod like. Instead of evolving what they did in the first game they seem to have scaled it back across the board. The titans seem far less important. There is a lot more pilot on pilot combat. The maps feel like they have less verticality and seem way more basic and smaller. Hardpoint felt like domination in call of duty with an open B point and people just camping the shit out of it. It didn't feel that way in the first. The B flag was often in a bunkered building in the first Titanfall so it wasn't just pure death to come near it. You feel like you die way faster. Fights in Titanfall often could feel like a dance. Now it feels like whoever sees who first wins. Which creates more camping. My team got spawn camped in Pilot versus Pilot which never happened in the original. Yeah that was not a good first impression. Like I said, I'll dig way into this evening and weekend but I understand his feelings.

Yep it feels like a step back. It's CoD with a bit more open movement/maps and titans are essentially killstreaks you can pilot.

I just played a couple of matches and I agree with you both. It isn't bad, but I'm still disappointed. The slower, less smooth movement alone makes it no longer feel like Titanfall. It went from a must buy to wait and see for me. :gloomy

I  played some more and while I'm use to it now and can enjoy it a bit, I wish they had gone more in the direction of a true sequel.

Look its fun. And if I had never played Titanfall 1, I probably wouldn't have the complaints I have. I would just accept it  and enjoy it for what it is. But its hard when you've experienced the first game.

The bounty mode is the most fun of the lot. It has some of the chaos and escalating intensity of the first.

Pilot versus Pilot is shit. It's all the worst parts. Low time to kill. Bad Spawns, etc.

Hardpoint is also less good for those reasons and various others.

It's not a bad game. It's actually a fun game especially if they increase the time to kill. But its not the evolution of Titanfall that I dreamed of.

I've been super down on the game in this thread but I'll still probably get it on launch. Respawn was solid when it came to support in TF1 dispite how heartbreaking it was watching the community leave. That plus I still need my mecha fix finally coupling with this being the first year since MW3 that I'm passing on CoD.

It seems like the game has a lopsided reward for not playing the objective. Holding and taking hard points earns you jack shit towards your Titan but kill a handful of pilots and it's yours. So of course no one really plays the objective.

Supposedly they are according to Vince's twitter? We'll see though.

The thing is you can't out COD COD. I know they want to make the game more successful but sometimes you just have realize who your audience is. Doing all this stuff isn't going to suddenly bring over the COD fanbase.

People point out that Titanfall failing is the reason for these changes, but didn't it fail because of no single player, lack of content, dlc that split the userbase, and because it was an Xbone exclusive? I can't remember people having issues with the gameplay.

Yep. The three biggest complaints were lack of content, customization and a singleplayer campaign.

Saw some people playing this on Friday.  By Saturday morning, everyone was back on Overwatch.

I only tried the test briefly.  It was OK I guess.  Felt like more BLOPS3 and I'm not sure that I really need that.

It was those + no dedicated servers on PC (Though Overwatch is bucking that trend. Proof that Mainstream don't care so long as the Blizzard label is slapped on things).

Though the gameplay didn't help much since most people regarded it as "CoD with mechs" and wrote it off. That's why Respawn pretty much tweaked the game to match those peoples "wants"/observation.

http://www.titanfall.com/en_us/news/tech-test-and-feedback/

We'll see if anything huge changes with them retaining players. They have to slow the game down a small bit to make sure console players don't feel lost in trying to get a bead on each other. It's why the smart-pistol was abused by wallrunners: Easy to kill someone running while being mobile yourself.

I'm back to "definitely buying", but I really hope most of the maps are far better than these. Is there a level cap for this test? I just got to 10 yesterday.
Title: Re: Teaser for the Sequel to MP Game of the Generation
Post by: Mupepe on August 27, 2016, 09:03:18 AM
Yeah the maps are still underwhelming. The first game felt like maps were designed with wall running and double jump in mind. These don't. Placement of wall running areas don't seem to make sense because there's nothing to jump to sometimes.
Title: Re: Teaser for the Sequel to MP Game of the Generation
Post by: toku on August 27, 2016, 01:28:43 PM
Back to my blender talk, after this new map it feels like CoD gunplay mixed with mid to small size BF maps if that makes any sense at all. The way I play as a pilot doesn't feel far off from how I play CoD objective modes and the way I interact with titans is how I pressure/poke vehicles in BF.

I'll probably check it out day one but it feels like a frankenstiein experience to me where as TF felt like a breathe of fresh air.
Title: Re: Teaser for the Sequel to MP Game of the Generation
Post by: Stoney Mason on August 27, 2016, 01:31:40 PM
It's pretty clear that the default shipping maps will be the worst aspect of the game. The fact that they dumbed down the maps from Titanfall 1 is a damn shame.

The Titans don't feel like much of a threat anymore either. They feel like they can be taken down much easier than they could in the first.
Title: Re: Teaser for the Sequel to MP Game of the Generation
Post by: Beezy on August 28, 2016, 11:39:36 AM
Taken down easily by pilots? I disagree. You could destroy a Titan by getting on his back just once in the first game if you had a shotgun. In TF2, you have to first take out the battery, then rodeo the Titan a 2nd time before you can drop a grenade into the battery slot. I have no issue with this, but it felt easier in the first to me. Also, Scorches flame shield instantly kills enemy pilots that get too close to him. Just point it upwards and it'll kill an enemy on your back.
Title: Re: Teaser for the Sequel to MP Game of the Generation
Post by: Mupepe on August 28, 2016, 04:39:22 PM
The quick action makes it easier to me. I jump on, throw in a grenade and in a couple of seconds I'm off and free. Most don't seem quick enough to use any defense.

yeah, i really liked when they added it, i love that type of mode anyway and it like refreshed the game for me, i'd love when a team stays together (rather than people bailing out) and finally cracks a wave of nuke and mortar titans after getting trounced the first two times

also it was horribly unbalanced in terms of xp it'd give out, you'd get like three or four levels a match even if you lost if you stayed through the whole thing especially if your turrets went mad :lol

i was hoping this time they'd be able to actually setup the maps for it as a proper variation rather than just insert it into the regular ones with just some minor adjustments

i suppose they might have felt the new mode was good enough for launch and maybe they do want to edit the maps for it, they did change up the modes a lot with the last game as time went on, and they have said no paying for mappacks this time

the new domination variation sounds cool where it rewards you for holding the point instead of just trading it back and forth like CoD

They haven't spoken on it much but it feels like their angle this time is more the hardcore pro kinda crowd. Thats why you see a heavy focus on LTS, CTF and Pilot vs Pilot. They're bet I think, is that all these hardcore youtubers is whats gonna give it legs.

I found plenty of players for titanfall one on xbox for a good long time. I'm sure the same will hold for the current consoles versions. PC versions of everything die unless its one of a few big franchises.

Although you were whining about nearly everything concerning the original game before it ever came out so I kinda doubt this is your actual concern.

Titanfall will never be one of the mega big shooter franchises most likely sales wise ala Battlefield or COD. Still a very enjoyable game.

Yeah, while Titanfall on Origin died ultra-fast there were a decent amount of people still playing on Xbone from what I read.  But it still tanked pretty quickly in general.

I'm not sure that releasing the sequel a week after Battlefield 1 was such a good idea, either.

Seriously this franchise seems doomed since it went Xbox exclusive but mow EA sent it to die between BF1 and COD

Quote
The general consensus seems to be that Titanfall 2 is very, very good. (We're still working on it, but the indications are very promising so far.) But as this CNBC report makes clear, making a good game does not necessarily guarantee commensurate riches. Electronic Arts' share price dropped by more than four percent today, following analyst predictions that Titanfall 2 sales will come in far below what was expected.

"We are downgrading EA shares ... because we believe that Titanfall 2 sales are going to be substantially disappointing, enough to offset [the] upside from Battlefield 1," Cowen & Co. analyst Doug Creutz wrote in a note to clients. "We expect a correction in shares between now and early next year as we believe the stock is priced for upside to current Street consensus."

I feel like it's too early to say this. It's only 2 games in.

No it isn't. Just look at how lowkey this release is. I have no clue why EA bankrolled a second one outside of them giving Respawn a chance to hit Playstation after how poorly received (in terms of player retention) the first one was.

From what I've been hearing, pre-orders are pretty low for consoles and the PC player base seems low compared to the Console base (just like last time). So, I mean... unless they deep discount it like the first one for $7, I don't know how they'll get people on board despite word of mouth being "yeah, but it's okay!"

EA had originally signed Respawn to a multi-game publishing deal, and they locked in the Titanfall franchise after the first one sold a million copies in the first three months.

When I jumped onto the PC version, I couldn't even get into a Pilot Vs. Pilot match.  Not enough players.  :lol :(

PS4 is better but there's a still a lower number of people playing compared to other FPS games. 

The game is awesome and shits all over this year's CoD though, unsurprisingly.  Too bad it's probably gonna bomb.  I'll likely be playing this a lot more on PS4 since it seems like PC is almost DOA right out of the gate.

Lack of server browser, no beta (unlike last time), and general not fixing things PC gamers complained about last time doomed their Titan.

Ok the single player was easily one of the best of the year. Honestly almost up there with Doom. Amazingly paced, fantastic set pieces, and honestly very solid gameplay that doesn't feel like it's holding your hand.

I mean I feel like it's been such a long time since I've played a single player campaign that feels like it's confident and so in control. Here is a game that after it's laid out its foundations actually throws cool little senerios and knows how to correctly ramp up the action. Here's a game that knows how to actually be a game. While I wish the boss characters were a bit more involved, they still touch that Metal Gear Solid esque thing that I love Boss characters for. They have some actual cool designs and presence. Not as much as say Metal Gear Rising, but they tried. And that's what this game feels like. It feels like a game deigned by people who actually gave a damn. Who wanted to craft something you'd care about. From the awesome set pieces such as fighting around a a moving ship fleet to having a cool sidekick. And yes the game avoided being in your face with the whole Robot becomes more human thing. It's actually rather subdued honestly.

You know what? This game was just great.

Played the first two stages of the campaign and one map of attrition MP.  Was ok.  Had more fun in the one attrition map than the first two levels.  First level was alright, gorgeous and some nice platforming, but mostly a tutorial stage.  Second sewers level was a bit boring hallways and the only interesting room was the one you had to hold out against waves in and were totally outnumbered so you had to keep moving.  I dunno, probably shouldn't have picked this up.  It feels like a good quality Call of Duty with wallrunning, slides and double jumps and a bit of Crysis with the camo ability.  I really don't like CoD or any kind of aim down the sites warfare FPS games.  I enjoyed DOOM a ton because it felt so different, fresh and polished for an FPS.  While Doom doesn't have wallrunning, coming straight from finishing Doom earlier this week to Titanfall, Doom feels way better in smooth fast movement and combat feedback and balance is much more satisfying there.  TF2 is good, but as a not military FPS person, I'm not loving it.  I tried TF2 and World of FF today and after playing an hour or so of each I'd rather play more World of FF than TF2, but then rpgs are my bread n' butter.  Doom worked in a way that it was an FPS for not-fps fans, but not getting that feeling here.  I'll keep playing the TF2 campaign but may end up spending more time playing MP since I found attrition more exciting than the first two stages.

One nice thing about TF2 is it runs really great.  Have everything maxed and haven't dropped from 60fps at all at 1080p.  Also the art direction is top-notch.

Beat the 2nd boss and yeah, while I like some of the mech parts (like the 2nd boss fight or when you fight a group of titans; fighting non-titan enemies in a mech is pretty boring) because you can switch between your setups and there's some interesting stuff like the Scorch flame AoE strategies, the combat just does nothing for me on-foot.  It's perfectly good, but I'm just not into aiming down the sights with an assault rifle taking out a shooting gallery of bad guy army dudes anymore and while the platforming is kinda fun, it just makes me remember Mirror's Edge has a sequel I still haven't played and I should be playing that instead for better wallrunning and platforming. 

I think another reason why I like the mech parts better is you keep getting new cool weapons.  This is the reason why I like Insomniac games, getting neat non-traditional weapons to play around with.  But on-foot segments so far have just been assault rifle/shotgun/smg/sniper rifle zzzzzzzzzzz with the only cool stuff the grenade weapons (flaming shuriken was cool).  If they start introducing some crazy sci-fi weapons to play with on the on-foot segments I'll probably get into them more.  Otherwise will just push through the on-foot parts to enjoy the mech parts.

Was talking to duckroll and he asked me what difficulty I was on.  I said normal cause that's what the game recommended to me at the intro plus I usually play games on normal and he said this is one of those games were normal is brain dead easy, especially on-foot and hard is more fun because you need to play smarter instead of just brainless shooting gallery.  So will try doing the rest on hard and see if I get more out of it.

Wasn't really feeling the time travel stage too much.  Was interesting, but felt kinda jank and the mechanic's been done before in other games.  Only rooms I liked were the ones where there was combat on both sides and you're weaker because you don't have cloak, but stronger because of the time travel.  The elevator room was fun.

Anyhow, the stage after with the satellite dish and the beam switch weapon was great.  My favorite level in the game so far.  Lots of great mirror's edge-ish platforming, really long and varied stage, and a few good combat bits.  Boss was pretty tough on hard, would kill my titan in like 4 with his rifle that just did insane damage.  Ended up running back and making some space and hiding behind a rock and setting him on fire.  Been pretty much using the flame + gas combo on every boss so far since if you trap them in the flames it can instantly kill them or at least get them close.

Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: Bebpo on November 01, 2016, 03:25:42 AM
Finished the campaign.  Was really short.  Like, probably the shortest FPS campaign I've ever played.  Like even though it's 4-5 hours, a lot of the game is just walking/running around.  I mean I turned out the difficulty to hard from Ash-boss onwards but then there's only like 4-5 FPS rooms in the entire second half of the game.  The last stage has no FPS since it's all auto-aim is just a little platforming and boss fight, the second to last stage has like one FPS area where you take out the AA gunners and then one FPS room with a team, the stage before that is all mech, the stage before that on the satellite dish is pretty much all platforming and dodging with a mech boss, the time warp stage before is mostly narrative/exploration and there's only like 2 rooms where you have to fight (elevator and final room before getting back to BT).  I couldn't really tell if I liked the FPS segments on hard any better since there just weren't many of them.

Mech stuff was great, absolute best moment of the game was the beginning of the mech stage where you drop down and run with a team of mechs in giant MECH WAR.  Really enjoyed the mechs stuff although some of the boss fights were really tough for me on hard because of all the cooldowns (I'm used to at least being able to dodge/dash continuously without cooldown).  The final boss was pretty easy but the flying boss before that took me about 40 tries and I was ready to throw the game out the window.  Now that was a boss I should've actually used keyboard & mouse for so I could aim at the moving guy, using a dual shock 4 I had to stick to auto-lock on weapons because I couldn't aim fast enough to hit the guy and most of the auto-lock stuff just didn't do enough damage while he'd keep wrecking me.  Eventually I got a tip from someone to use TONE and put down a shield and shoot through to lock on and do the lock-on for big damage, which got me through it.

The movement and platforming was ok.  Coming from Doom tbh TF2 feels sluggish and floaty to me and the platforming was so easy it was just kind of a press A to win thing that was cute, but didn't require much thought or effort between the mech or FPS or story.  I really enjoy the wall running, but when you're not sliding or wall running the standard on-foot moving is really slow when you're not moving straight forward.  Like I didn't realize until pretty far in that if you side/circle strafe at all it instantly drops you down to walk speed even when not shooting.  Coming from Doom where I was always side-strafing I'd rotate left or right around enemies a lot on instinct and I'd move slow as molasses.  Also being in a super suit the physics are super floaty which as a personal taste thing I didn't like.  I think I enjoyed the titan parts the best because in a titan you actually feel like you have weight and I love the A button bulky heavy dashes.  On foot you're flying around with like paper weight and it just feels so much worse than something like Mirror's Edge where you're wall running but actually have weight to it.  Eh, just didn't click.

I definitely enjoyed the campaign, which is a positive since I don't usually like FPS campaigns.  It was like an 8/10 experience.  Good and fun, but super short & don't really get the hype at all.  Especially when I just finished Doom 2016 a few days before and that was easily like 9.5/10 near-perfect campaign for me.  I'm glad I dig the MP in TF2 and will be playing it a bunch, otherwise if all I played was the campaign I'd probably regret buying it at full price rather than like $20.
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: Bebpo on November 01, 2016, 03:53:53 AM
Thinking about it, another thing that's cool about the game is the boss fights.  Like some are better than others, but just having real boss fights (and a ton of them) in a western AAA game is impressive.  I know Deus Ex HR supposedly has boss fights but they're supposed to be terrible though, and usually boss fights in western AAA games are pretty bad, so it was really cool to have solid ones here.  I loved the zoom in and show the pilot with the background blurred out presentation at the start of each.  Very cool.  The game is also pretty replayable since the levels are short and fast.  I might run through the campaign one more time.  At least the first few stages on hard to complete my hard run.

I started a 2nd run on the campaign and played past Kane, this time using keyboard+mouse instead of a PS4 controller and holy shit, it was like an entirely different game.  I can actually aim and headshot guys in FPS mode or shoot multiple guys in a row really quick!  Also the first run I used auto-run ON but I noticed with auto-run OFF that it fixed some of the movement issues I had.  When you have auto-run off and you hold run and move left it doesn't slow you down, you keep running just curve left, whereas with auto-run on you move left and it defaults to a walk strafe to the left.  Having a lot more fun with kb+m.  The only annoying thing compared to a controller is in the mech doing the "Q" button special attack while strafing left with "a" is a pain in the butt.

Favorite titans so far? I don't see many people using it, but Northstar is great.

My thoughts from mainly SP and a few MP matches:

-I loooooooove Scorch.  If you corner someone into your flammable gas and fire it just does insane damage.  Plus that double fist slam super.
-Tone has grown on me because of the stationary shield that you can shoot through since the other shields you can't fire while it's up.
-Northstar is a lot of fun as a sniper mech, if you can keep some distance you can take out a ton of guys, the rifle does good damage and the rocket super is always nice
-the chaingun one is pretty good but the reload cooldown is so long you can basically die when you have to reload which sucks
-Katana is pretty sweet if you're close up, but I feel like it needs more armor or almost no cooldown on the teleport.  The problem is that sure you can teleport behind a guy and start slicing him, but after a hit he'll turn to your face and now you can't teleport and he'll shoot you to shit while you are slashing him and probably kill you first if he's got decent armor.  It's good for AI grunts, but I feel it needs some balancing for MP
-Hover is kind of pointless since Northstar is a better hover and the only real gain from hovering is being able to reach sniper spots
-Default loadout is kinda boring and doesn't do much damage

After two runs with the campaign I'm good on SP.  Playing with a kb+m and good controls and knowledge of how all the titan loadouts work, the campaign was a lot of fun.  I still really don't like Stage 4 the house assembly line stage until the test simulation.  From that point to Ash boss fight the level is great, but the assembly line part drags imo and isn't that fun, it's the lowest point of the campaign imo.  That and the first stage are the only boring parts of the campaign (first stage is understandable since it's tutorialish).  The rest of the game is pretty fun to play or replay. 

Even though the game is a sales disaster, I hope they make a TF3.  I'd like a longer, more fleshed out campaign (6-8 hours) and a bunch more cool bosses.  I think if they gave the pilot the grappling hook from MP on-foot could be a lot more interesting than it even is in a bionic commando way for the FPS sections.

oh my god at the grappling hook, and the ability to dead stop in the middle of the swing and boost at a completely different angle, yet nobody seems to be using it?

also just using it to traverse across the map in seconds like it was freakin just cause or something

too bad i'm shit with the new titans, at least the default ones

the anti-titan grenade launcher seems more accurate and more powerful in general, i was causing so much havoc by lobbing them over things and making the pilots get out to try and find me then flipping over to a side wall and pelting the things to death because the auto-target has focused on something else like another titan

and when boosted :neogaf

Post by: benjipwns on November 13, 2016, 09:40:39 PM
It depends on how much you're swinging on it, but you can use one jump to stop your momentum and then another jump to move in the direction.

I was swinging around some silo saw this dude then stopped and jumped backwards so he was leading me but I was no longer moving except down to the roof where I shot his face. :lawd

I'm level 7 and I've spent most of that time trying to hook on everything and come at even crazier angles than I did in the first game with the wallrun. It's like freakin Spider-Man 2 in my FPS. :lol

My movement improved once I changed my control scheme to bumper jumper (pilot only) which is similar to Mirror's Edge, but I'm still nowhere near his level. Especially not when shooting at people. I can't chain my slides into my movement easily like he does either. My run usually ends after I slide.

so good

only real problem is like the first game i can already see what my loadout is basically going to be forever and it's just a question of unlocking it

i think i might like bounty hunt more than attrition, maybe it's because i grappled this dude into my foot and stole like $300 and we won it

The gameplay is really, really great.  It's still a little fast for my taste but everything feels nice and balanced.  I do like that I feel like I have more of a chance against a titan in this one than I did in the first.

Maps are the problem though.  They don't feel designed for this game.  When you wall run it's not like there are obvious paths for you to continue jumping to that provides a tactical advantage against pilots and titans.  Most of the time you wall run and end up back on the ground or you just wall run to get on a roof or something.  That's the only downside.  The maps in the first one felt really refined and tailor made for the gameplay.  These are just acceptable.
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: Stoney Mason on December 04, 2016, 02:29:03 AM
The more you play the more you can find those routes on these maps and there is a way to chain movement into a bunny hop even when you hit the ground.

But yes in general, the maps aren't as amazing as the maps in the first game which had an unusually high number of top notch ones. Even the dlc ones from the first game were often outstanding.

I bought this on sale mostly due to comparisons to GOTY 2016 Doom.

I can kinda see some resemblance, but outside of a few levels in the middle of the campaign, the obviously stellar movement stuff and your personal Gundam, I don't think it compares to Doom's campaign at all. The majority of the level design is not particularly great.

Also, it doesn't matter but the faces in this game look jank as fuck.

Source engine. But I can't say a majority of them look bad. The only one that looks :kobeyuck is "Sarah." In the multiplayer OR single-player. :holeup But yeah, the campaign is ho-hum for me. The only stand-out level was the Cause and Effect level where you're warping through time/dimensions.

Game's dying on PC last I checked. Christmas/holidays didn't help but boost it back to the player numbers it had in mid-November. I'm sure it'll crash back to like 4,000 players and bleed out by April at this point.

I forgot I had marked a whole bunch of the different networks randomly one night (Giant Bomb, GAF, some random others, default Advocate) and apparently like half of them had happy hours one after another the other night when I was playing. Leveled up like I was on some wonky 100000XP FAST LEVELING NOOB FRIENDLY NO HACKERS server from the CoD4 days.

Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on January 12, 2017, 12:53:31 AM
Must have bugged because I played three start-to-finish matches and one and a half that I joined in progress and it gave me it for three of them. And after I looked and the networks had them staggered one hour after another. (Like GAF, then an hour later Giant Bomb, then an hour later some other one, etc. I had started near the end of the first one and finished half-way through the third.)

Maybe it's because I was "grandfathered" in or something and it just held the status? Or maybe it broke because it was like at midnight-ish so it technically was the next day.

That last one might be it, along with some kind of bug. Makes sense now that I think about it.

I've never needed the network active for it to give happy hour credits, or have they changed that and I not noticed?

Round lost, grapple jumped onto an enemy Titan's back, then jumped off that one onto another and then jumped and grappled onto the drop ship which took off with only me onboard. :lawd

Seeing round is close to over with us winnin, saving pilot sentry, putting it in alcove overlooking drop ship area, watching as it guns down errybody as they come in and try to get on it. :rejoice

Them adding Angel City back just makes you realize how lame and flat and lacking paths some of the new maps are. :yuck

Crash Site is kinda growing on me though, especially because it has those neat little tunnels through the canyon walls that let you bypass the main canyon. That and Eden are the main two that seem fun to dick around in at multiple levels vertically.

The funny thing about Exoplanet is that basically everyone ignores a third of the map.

it feels like my stat line is always something like 4-6 titan kills, 1-2 pilot kills, 35-50 minion kills :lol

lots of people run past them, i at minimum throw them a courtesy nade...also they like to hang themselves up on garbage like doorways or pillars (i never understand that one) sometimes and it's not like they put up a fight...but do people not know they not only speed up your titanfall but also count as attrition points? we lost a tied game because a guy killed a spectre a second after the time expired

also recently i've been having shit luck where the transport pods drop right in front of me and i run into them in the smoke, you don't "interact" with them because they're temporary like the drop ships so you can't run up them or over them or whatever

been trying every weapon for a match or two at least as they unlock until they go up a level or two, more of them seem useful than in the first game where i mostly stuck with the car, although i still don't use anything but the mag launcher as my anti-titan weapon and the car is probably the best but i like mixing it up more this game, some of the weapons just need the extra magazine size or something unlocked to make them feel more viable

Sure, if "Angel City only which is a remake" is "couple of maps" for you.

They're supposed to have like 2-3 new maps for ONE new mode (so it's not going to be able to play those maps on other modes apparently?) sometime this month. But they delayed it. So we're going on like 5-6 months from launch with nothing for it. :girlaff

i've played this almost every night this month at a happy hour

i think i'm more afraid of pilots than titans

pilots are these crazy mobile death machines some of whom can teleport and crap, while titans are just big targets for my mag launcher (especially when i fire it over stuff) and can't follow me into buildings

i unlocked the titan sentry and was going to switch to it but putting the pilot sentry into random corners of rooms rather than out in the open never stops being stupid funny to me especially if i can get someone to chase me into it, it feels like the most elaborate dick move you can pull :lol

Only two new maps and they're for Live Fire which can only be played on those two maps. :ahnuld2 :neogaf :crowdlaff :girlaff

Feels like EA's pulled all funding from them at this point. This patch was delayed-rushed and the matchmaker is broken. Can't cycle through multiple modes if you have them selected. :girlaff

new matchmaking makes you actually land in other modes sometimes :leon

actually played some of the bounty hunt/bank for the first time since release month, this one dude got out of his titan to do a deposit and told it to wait, so i dropped my titan on his while he was inside then shot him and deposited :lol

movement in this game is soooooooooooooo goooooood especially when you're on an epic run and hitting everything with epic timing did another bounding off multiple things with a pair of grapples into one last grapple onto the drop ship again

plus exploiting the momentum system is some kind of crazy evil magic that's so much the key to being unfair to others in this, dead stops and odd angles and fakes...i played infinite warfare a bit the other day and i realized that was the main difference, they nailed the wall running and sliding but it has absolutely none of the momentum control and i realized i was constantly trying to fake one way to boost back the other and land beside a guy at a 90 degree angle but you simply can't

in a match earlier these dudes were campin up by this rock i grappled in out of nowhere, did a back boost to instantly drop and killed the first guy then went like i was going around the rock to get the other guy since he put up a shield, but actually grappled back to the left towards the shield and then used the momentum to launch me into the air over it and then boosted again backwards so i was like above the dude flyin to what once was my right firing on him :dead

i played the first game for a couple hours after i accidentally ran it instead and said hey, i'm almost ready to prestige lets see if i can find some games and it's sorta crazy that i thought it had way more movement flexibility than it does, it's still more than everything but THIS but losing the grapple especially and the more limited boosting capabilities instantly stood out to me, so did the low level of weapons/loadouts/etc. even with me having everything unlocked, everything seems just a pace or two slower

also, i've harped on about the lacking verticality of 2's maps, but i played a few matches in a row where i forgot how many of the first games maps have these huge flat open areas for the titans to play around in, it's weird being able to move all about and not get blocked off by the map because it's just some huge valley or pit or something that said all the good maps are closer to 2's tighter confines in this regard i think, i also forgot just how many maps they added to the first one

surprised they didn't bring over the training grounds though after that popped up

the AI killed me three times, i don't think i've ever outright died to it in 2, it did do a lot less standing in doorways and yelling A PILOT NOW THE ODDS ARE IN OUR FAVOR that i noticed

the skill that lets you constantly spam the batman vision is hilarious though, glad they put some clamps on that, though i still miss my combo of auto ejecting from a titan going nuke so i just recklessly charge into as many as possible

don't mind less of the smart pistols being around tho :doge

still managed to drop a titan on the same guy's twice in a row, a favorite move :delicious

also, it has the better menu music, that space-western twang ala firefly

in that second one, i learned that on that map there's a number of spots that aren't clipped properly that you can land on from the titan eject and it doesn't immediately trigger the "return to battle" countdown as long as you're on the very edge, the one antenna spire at the other end of the map is one

i totally used it with my MAG launcher (which is at like level G3.10 or something absurd now because it's the only anti-titan weapon i use) to finish off a dude who was assuming i had come back down

the one map with the trench through the middle also has a spire like that

no idea if landing on that roof would've been one, the one internal roof you can get onto with the grapple and only scorch can really get to you, i've used it for escapes at times

some of the maps it'll freak out immediately if you use the titan eject to get over the invisible walls, i found one where you can't get back inside the playfield because the fence or whatever is too tall and you don't latch to it like a normal wall so you can only die :lol

i die so many needless deaths anymore because my entire goal on almost every titan fall is now to drop them on someone else after i had a week where i did it like 30 times with ruthless efficiency

my other new favorite thing when a match is near over holding onto the pilot sentry to stick it right in front of the escape ship

people don't seem to realize you just have to touch it, it'll warp you in from any side...i always just grapple onto it often from below

but it's funnier as they scale up buildings to get on the roof just to get blasted away by my sentry

live fire is just silly, i played it a little, then after dying while priming a nade and killing four people with it to win the round i said i couldn't top that and took it out of the rotation list for good

when am i gettin frontier defense back respawn HUH?!?
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on April 23, 2017, 12:53:06 PM
the electric smoke grenade is the most baffling thing in the game to me, i have no idea what it's actually doing to anyone else...it doesn't seem to kill AI grunts or else doesn't pop up the notification?

also that assault rifle with the three round burst only is possibly the worst weapon in the game by far but i have to level it up, i can't leave it all the way down there at level 3 all alone, i never see anyone else using it and this dude even asked me why i was using it last week

i said "MUST FILL BARS" and he said "oic"

edit: just read about the grenade on reddit thread, apparently it will instantly destroy a sentry/tick and does huge damage to the escape ship, also works like a counter smoke on the titan so blinds them plus damage, and it does destroy the AI dudes...but against pilots the damage isn't as much as a titan's version so it's more about area denial and filling the area with smoke/getting people off walls/etc...guess I'll play around with it more

also learned the titan's smoke puts out the firestar, which i did not know
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: toku on April 23, 2017, 03:39:27 PM
yeah the hemlok is only really good on consoles rn because the ARs on console have way more aim assist than the other guns atm

thats why pc vs console wise you see everyone on pc running with smgs. Higher fire rates, great accuracy on most of them means shit like the  R-97 and the alternator (so long as you tap fire) are dumptrucks if you're competent with a kb/m
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on April 23, 2017, 04:20:22 PM
unlocking the running while firing on the CAR basically puts it above every other weapon in the game if you're mobile, the alternators are surprisingly brutal once you unlock stuff too...haven't used the volt enough to unlock but it apparently has no recoil though?

really it's people who like to hang around areas or camp that i see using most anything else and then it's the devotion half the time or double take, or they're maybe like me and just going through leveling up stuff because i already hit the cap on the CAR

i actually kinda like both the shotguns though it's good they nerfed the one at long range, the mastiff is surprisingly useful at taking out people in the air because of that horizontal spread

the hemlock has this feel like it's half a second too slow to let you fire again once you fire, there's another gun that's the same way, i should try playing with a controller just to see if that changes the feel using the trigger vs. clicking a mouse, most games let you burst fire as fast as you can click generally

i did notice when scoped at a certain distance the hemlock's recoil makes it go chest->neck->head which is what my old friends the BAR/STG44 in DoD did :heart

i got first place by a mile because of a just epic run with a legion (and a couple of those tips in that video and another of his :shh) in a bounty hunt match, had like $2500 to bank at one point because i got a smart core right as the banks opened up and wiped them out after i had just taken down both titans (also earlier had a hilariously placed sentry next to the bank that i also threw an electric smoke nade onto the ledges above and wiped out the whole team lolol)

so in celebration i made a yum! brands network, set it as a lifestyle group obv 8)

i can change the happy hour if people want one that'd be when they like to play... between the default, gaf, rps, giant bomb and some other one i had joined i can basically play a happy hour every other hour from 9PM to 4AM so it no prob for me to change this one for someone

fired my grapple at a doorway/window across the way to get across quick and this dude walked into the frame right as i did it. then my foot went through his face :doge

also hopping on a friendly titan and supplying it with a bonus turret is oddly fun, especially with the archer or thunderbolt. this legion totally took off and tried to run from us which just meant i was unloading on his butt

now on my fourth regeneration and with each have been going through the weapons as they unlock and levelin them up so i'm constantly using different loadouts, it's fun

though i have a hard time getting away from the pilot sentry as my boost once that unlocks

the new matchmaking has really made it so you can actually play stuff other than attrition. CoD needed this like back in MW2.

NEW TITAN: MONARCH
Monarch is a mid-range Vanguard-class Titan that can upgrade itself on the battlefield through her unique Upgrade Core. Pilots select a path of upgrades and try to survive long enough to reach her final form.

(http://www.respawn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/image-4.jpg)
NEW MAP: RELIC
Set among the old wreck of the IMC carrier IMS Odyssey, Relic is a worksite where Pilots have created clever wall running routes by hanging pieces of the wreckage between buildings. The map consists of the wreck of the Odyssey in the center of the map that splits the two town areas.
Created with frontlines in mind, the gameplay is all about assaulting and controlling the center and engaging in firefights from the great viewpoints of the ship against the varied defensible positions in the Town.

MAP UPDATE: CRASHSITE
We worked on a collision pass for Crashsite, fixing around 100 instances of getting bumped, bonked, stuck or tripped up. During the clean-up, we also wanted to experiment with more mobility options. To that end we’ve added 8 ziplines to get around the map faster and a few more wallrunning locations.
Nessie approved these changes.

NEW EXECUTION:
Now You See Me [Cloak]

Today we are revealing our 6th DLC drop for Titanfall 2 called The War Games and it will be available for free for all platforms on June 27th! We’ll have the trailer for you at launch.

For now, let’s breakdown what you’re getting:

Map: War Games – Pilots on the Frontier frequently use simulator pods to train, using life-like recreations of historical battles as combat scenarios. War Games highlights the civilian shops, tall buildings for window-to-window fighting, and city streets for Titan combat from the Battle of Angel City, and the large, open tank garage facilities for hand-to-hand Pilot combat from the Battle of Airbase Sierra. The outskirts of the map feature a clean, VR style perfect for Titan duels, while Pilots are often found running along the bright, interconnected wallrunning routes.
 
Live Fire Map: Traffic –A weathered test site where pilot positioning is pitted against mobility across two busy thoroughfares. Dense cover makes every corner a threat, with room for snipers to hide in the back fields.
 
New Execution: Shadow Boxing [Holo Pilot]
Get 20 pilot kills while a holopilot ability is active (Both normal holopilot and boost ability holopilot nova count.) Does not retroactively count.

3rd Weapon Slot for Pilots – You will now be able to equip a primary, secondary, and anti-titan weapon.


Titan Brawl will be added to the permanent list of game modes. Titan damage will be displayed instead of assists.

New Featured Mode: Free Agents
Free-for-all with a twist. Collect 3 batteries to call in a Titan. Battery locations are placed around the map. Pilots drop batteries on death.

Additional details for balance changes, features, and updates will be provided in the patch notes closer to launch.
Quote
GAME IMPROVEMENTS
Evac ship will now leave immediately once all living players are onboard.
Additional performance optimizations on Xbox One.
Added an easter egg to Glitch.

GAME MODE ADJUSTMENTS

CTF HUD
Replaced flag icons with stacked score bars.
A permanent flag icon is now displays the status of each flag [Home, <player name> / You have the Flag, SECURE / RETURN].
Flag status no longer displays after the winner is determined.
Display team Titan status.
Running over Stalkers with your Titan will now cause damage.

MISC BUG FIXES
Fixed exploit on Exoplanet where players could get under the map.
Fixed bug where stealing a battery from a rodeo would not give player any Titan meter.
Fixed issue in CTF where the flag would appear to be unreturnable.
Fixed issue with Legion shield not appearing sometimes.
Fixed a couple spots on Eden where Pilots were able to hide inside geometry.
Fixed issue with Tone where reload would happen during her execution.
Fixed issue where Ronin Prime execution played wrong audio.
Addressed issue where Pilots couldn’t enter evac while in phase state when using Phase Shift. The trigger to enter the evac will now be activated when the player exits phase state.
Monarch no longer gets two Electric Smokes when using her Upgrade Core.

BOOST BALANCE
Reduced damage of Amped Weapons and put on 30 second timer

from the few games i played, evac change makes it like a hundred times easier to evac if your team has no auto-titans to drop and leave on the ground as distractions i always used to hopefully save one if the round wasn't close and about to end for that


especially if you're sitting in the evac ship and watching your teammates get picked off as they try and get there :lol

this game is sooooo good

trolling with ronin has become my latest dumb thing, especially legions and scorches, arcwaving them from behind then a hit from the sword and leadwall then using the phase shift to disappear and circle around as they finally get themselves turned around

scorch is second with dropping canisters firing at some dope and falling back and triggering it with the ground fire attack

was being so useless with the kraber but sir swag is right it's so lol bullshit FUCK YEAH I AM A GOD BRING IT when you do headshot some dude out of the air trying to shoot someone else like say...a spectre because you can't hit anything moving :lol

and if you get like three or more in a life :dead

Introducing an all-new way to play Titanfall 2: Frontier Defense, the PvE horde mode introduced in Operation Frontier Shield! Built for 4 player co-op, you and your team are tasked with protecting the Harvester through multiple waves of coordinated enemies all hellbent on taking it down. Build your team, optimize your Titans and adapt your strategies to survive the mayhem with all new weapons, gear, and progression.

Be sure to show off your skills with the new Frontier Titan Warpaints, which each feature an insignia that changes to reflect the highest difficulty of Frontier Defense you have mastered. These skins also grant an XP boost to you and your teammates at the completion of a Frontier Defense match, but these Warpaints are only available for a limited time!

For Pilots, we're also introducing Elite Weapon Warpaints, custom-designed Warpaints for specific weapons that drastically change the look of your favorite firearms. These Warpaints also grant bonuses to you and your teammates in-game. For each elite weapon warpaint you own, you gain a 10% chance to earn a 2x XP token at the completion of a match (max 30% total).

To round out Operation Frontier Shield, we've also introduced a remastered map from the original Titanfall: Rise. This map features towering, sheer walls and a system of convenient zip lines provide Pilots with the perfect means to get around quickly while Titans do battle in the long corridors below. Operation Frontier Shield also includes a new Live Fire map: Township, which models an idyllic small-town environment with open thoroughfares and small buildings with intense close-quarters combat.

Assemble your crew, Pilot! We'll see you out on the Frontier.

It only took them nearly a year to release Frontier Defense.

But now I can't complain anymore (besides the dead playerbase on PC). Good job, Respawn. Maybe next time have it in on launch so you don't repeat your mistakes for a third time? :doge

Post by: benjipwns on July 18, 2017, 11:33:37 PM
Same alt-right neo-nazi talking points and gamergate lies about PC Titanfall 2. :gurl

Ever since they changed the matchmaking system I can get a game in like a minute almost any time of day unless you happen to hit just right where everyone is in a game.  :yeshrug

Sure, not in a specific mode necessarily (especially the more unique modes) but the new system where you mark all the modes you might want to do should like be the default for everything from here on. Especially CoD.

Player count is like 2000-2500 a lot of the time which seems fine from my end. I've played more amped hardpoint in the last few months since the change than I ever got to for all Titanfall experience prior.

The first game had people, like me, who played Frontier Defense almost exclusively and the match making was much more "loose" on that since ping and stuff wasn't as important. Almost could always get into a game until about six months before 2 came out cuz playing with Yurop or whatever wasn't horrible.

It'd be cool if you could rank the modes or something, like.. 45% frontier defense, 25% amped hardpoint, 15% bounty hunt, 15% attrition. Getting stuck in a losing loop of bounty hunt games is like the worst situation I think, and I generally like the mode. :lol

Post by: benjipwns on July 26, 2017, 12:39:40 AM
also just like the first game it treats everything as if you were fighting normal rather than huge waves so you level up everything constantly :lol

though it does have a completely separate unlock tree for the titans within the mode and you can't swap titans once a round starts, weapons and everything are normal, i leveled up the lighteningbolt from 11 to 16 with one round on easy

will have to play a few rounds to super level up the charge laser since i hate it...and the hemlock?!? :doge

Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on July 26, 2017, 01:41:11 AM
each level is tougher than the equivalent in the first game i'd say (i.e. regular -> easy, hard -> regular...there's a locked for everyone "insane")

you're limited to two turrets but they never get destroyed, and anyone on your team can repair them, i was doing a loop repairing half the teams turrets and abusing titans and wound up with like 80 repairs and most titans doomed lol

there's a team money pot you can drop extra funds into for anyone to use like after you've bought what you want but have some odd amount like $86 left over or whatever...from an armory you buy the turrets and arc mines which slow everything down, or get batteries or amped weapons immediately, etc.

also, like normal, FPS players don't really get how to play defense, just like the other TF2 always drove me nuts when i was the only medic, so i took it upon myself to setup a chokepoint of death for the AI waves using arc mines it was the only way to keep the nuke and arc titans back long enough

it got better when another guy finally realized what i was doing (since the waves suddenly stopped coming from the path everyone had been watching since I had stopped them where they "drop") so we blanketed the entire one approach to the harvester and set our titans to guard mode on the bridge overlooking, they actually took opposite sides of the bridge firing down, which combined with our turrets and me just flooding the area with electric smoke nades and blasting everything and running between and around the fifty titans on the screen to get to the turrets while he sat up top and rained down rockets, it became this clusterfuck of death and we finally passed the final wave :lawd

but they set the mode off, so you have to matchmake it separately, i assume because of how it has its own set of titan unlocks?

ending of that round was so epic, like twenty nuke titans, but they got stuck under the bridge because we arc mined the shit out of the area and plus they can't walk through each other or all the reapers that came with them, and the bridge protected everyone from the nukes going off, but not the dumb reapers standing on either side and they just kept funneling into it :lol

Played 2 matches of Frontier Defense. Won one lost one. Things get so chaotic in the later waves.
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on July 26, 2017, 02:08:14 AM
mortar titans are the same as first game, i always gotta go clear them out since nobody else wants to wander that far out (despite the fact that everything drops/spawns out there so you can wail on them way before they get close)

people seem to be doing mostly okay clearing out the mortar spectres who are new because they're closer and come before people are in titans usually, but i've seen two separate people die trying to kill them one by one, a nade will take the whole group out (i think of any kind because they're robots, my trusty electric smoke does and i can just bail out to the next group)

and once people get their titans they tend to stay in them and camp or chase stuff around, so when a later round peppered those in i noticed nobody was doing anything about them

i haven't yet seen anything like the first game would do where it says you know what, fuck you, here's a wave of mortar titans, lets say, 30 of em which will be just great for benji to try and take down by himself...oh and here's forty nuke titans to just rush you...but maybe it'll get back to that on hard and up, it always seemed to throw that at you if you ran perfect through all but the last wave

they also have the dropship come in HIGHER and at an angle greater than it used to, so you can't do much out of it, i used to deploy death from above (1979) as i came in after dying, but maybe i just need to pull out my old mag launcher and pair it with the softball or something for that

i've still never touched the single player because at first i was waiting on my cpu and then my 1060 so it could be all pretty, next slightly longer lull in updates i'll have to force myself before going back to battlegrounds or whatever :doge
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on July 27, 2017, 01:23:30 AM
shit they added these flying drones that fire the same weapon as reapers, only targeting is poor at range, and they're annoying as fuck to try to take out outside of ronin really and they'll take down turrets with one shot, on foot you mainly need a MG or the thunderbolt

we eventually just setup a wall of turrets that would mow them down

the game also drops fake pods that only explode into smoke rather than have grunts pour out, then they drop or bring in the real enemies through the big ol cloud of smoke so you can't target them

on the final wave of nuke titans plus random other stuff rushing we somehow without any communication planted our titans right in the field path, three of us set to auto-defend and then took to the buildings to use anti-titan weapons, was just this giant pile of mechs battling each other as we fired rockets and lasers into it

soooo good :lawd :rejoice

only flaw in our plan was that the non-enhanced auto-titans don't retreat fast enough to always get away from the nuke explosions, i was shocked that they recognize it though and do

i realized why the frontier defense unlocks are only for the mode after looking at the ones farther down the path, they'd be game-breaking if you weren't facing hordes of titans and stuff, effectively extra mags/greater AoE's/fast reloads/etc. but on all the abilities too not just the gun, unlocked the first one for scorch that gives you another shot with the main gun and you can really batter a titan fast without the reload inbetween shots plus your abilities and there's just flames everywhere
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on August 09, 2017, 08:13:32 PM
even easy is so punishing at times, especially if you don't know the wave order, i have no idea what hard is going to be like when i wind up unlocking that

regenerated yet again you get so much XP from frontier defense...all my anti-titan weapons are now like G3+ except the laser which i hate, time to start shooting up grunts with the pistols probably

i was finally leveling up the cold war and then i swapped over to play a regular match and was having such an easier time killing actual humans vs. the AI swarms with it for some reason

i think they might have to tweak the aegis leveling as it takes forever to progress

this guy in my game last night said he hit level 20 with the monarch, but i don't know if he meant in aegis which would mean he's played about a hundred frontier defense games or just in general which would mean he could have played three

he also said he wished northstar would fuck him hard it was so sexy among other things that led someone to ask how you kick a person to which i told them "it's 2017, titanfall is titanfall"

Benji, the anti titan laser is good if you add the perk which basically removes the charge time. All of mine except that slow energy ball thing are at G3 or almost there.

My Scorch aegis level is currently 7. Thanks to his splash damage, I usually finish 1st on my team and my overall score ends up being much higher than 2nd place. My Northstar is level 4. Rise is the perfect map for her. I tried finding a hard match last night but no luck.

Wargames is the hardest map for me so far on normal. I'm not sure if it's the layout, the enemies they throw at you, or if I just happen to get shitty teammates whenever I play that map, but I'm not sure if I've completed it on normal yet without needing to use a continue.

Post by: thisismyusername on August 10, 2017, 10:54:01 AM
Really? Ya'll are having problems with Frontier Defense? :doge

Protip: Eqiup Nuke to your Mech. Buy Amped Battery (if you have the spare cash) while getting 2-3 (or more) Arc Traps each round.

Arc Traps is the only thing you NEED to buy beyond Amped Batteries (to regen health between rounds) and so long as your team clears lanes, you'll NEVER have problems with the AI.
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on August 10, 2017, 03:29:24 PM
Didn't say I was having problems, only had to restart like twice so far, just that it's harder on the each difficulty compared to the last game.

I flood the map with arc traps, especially once I learn the waves.

Wargames is toughest because it has that gap in the middle that the waves can come through but you can't. Actually, I just realized I should put a turret on the boxes there instead of covering the one flank nobody else ever covers. I always run out to the back end of the map and rain fire on shit from behind since nobody else ever ventures out to the mortar titans. Using the long range on Legion is hilarious because the titans hitboxes go over the boxes/cargo things/etc. and the AI just wanders in circles through my arc trap pile trying to figure it out.
and so long as your team clears lanes
:girlaff

Benji, the anti titan laser is good if you add the perk which basically removes the charge time. All of mine except that slow energy ball thing are at G3 or almost there.
Feels lame though and that's what matters. That slow energy ball is almost instadoom if you hit with it on the AI Titans and it damages everything it flies by. If you get the bigger mag and fast reload and they line up (in part because they're stuck in your arc traps), oh the slaughter.
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: Beezy on August 10, 2017, 04:26:20 PM
The Wargames mad doesn't have obvious lanes and the randoms I play with tend to be dumb as shit on this map so, yeah. I have trouble with it. Maps with clear lanes are much easier. Also, I stopped playing the first game before they added this mode. It's completely new to me. I know arc traps are the most important though. My support score is usually the highest on my team because of it. I rarely buy turrets.

I haven't used nuke eject because Scorch and Northstar are usually great in the situations I tend to use them in, but I'll try that out tonight. I haven't used any other titans in Frontier Defense yet.
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: thisismyusername on August 10, 2017, 05:52:31 PM
The Wargames mad doesn't have obvious lanes

Yes it does. The waves do not change no matter the difficulty mode. Watch your mini-map, they fall in the same area per round. In fact, I'm finding Frontier Defense disappointing because of that: There's no unexpected twists.

Turrets are pointless. Smack anyone on your team that buys that shit because it's a waste of cash.

1. Arc Trap
2. Amped Battery
3. Nuke Rodeo (if wanting to chain, but even then you can basically speed yourself at a Nuke AI to chain some damage IIRC)
4. Amped Weapons if needed, but you really shouldn't need it as Thunderbolt is MVP.

Spam Arc Traps at all the spawn points (a bit out of them), laying them downwards every like 50 meters toward your generator. Since Arc traps slow down EVERYTHING, you should have more than ample time on Easy/Normal/Hard to clear everything out with you and your team.

Loadout is something like:

SMG/LMG/Assault Rifle (screw the Sniper Rifles) + Thunderbolt unless you're using that Charge Rifle with the quickfire so it doesn't charge up + Smoke Grenade with refilling Ordinance perk enabled.
A-wall (meh), Stim (MVP), Grapple (maybe)
Titans: Doesn't matter, pick them and get extra dash + nuke in case you get massively damaged and then spam EEE to take a group out if you're surrounded.

Nothing should get past you and your team if your team isn't brain-dead on defending/objective.

Kinda wish there was different waves to where this tactic wouldn't work and maybe the turrets would be useful instead of a waste of cash.

In terms of the Mechs:

1. Northstar
2. Monarch
3. Scorch (maybe, if you're good at burning groups)
4. Ion/Legion/Tone
100. Ronin (absolutely pointless and I hate having to level this one up)

So long as you have four uniques (and a Monarch with shield regen I guess) you won't have a problem. If your Mech gets nuked, your thunderbolt spamming while stimmed up will generally get you another one within 30 seconds.

finally got a friend into titanfall 2 even though he bought the game at launch (i didn't even, waited for $45, and i actually played the first game!)

i don't think he believed me when i told him in the past that the stuff in the trailers was actually legit gameplay...and i think he's finally realizing my position that many pilots are endlessly more frightening than titans

hid like a little bitch as i dropped a titan on a guy trying to get me...he got revenge next match in bounty hunt because we all ditched our titans outside the bank to deposit and he dropped his dead center :rofl

got put into live fire, which i usually don't play, after friend left and holy crap is the mastiff is a monster in those tight maps...we had four mastiffs on our team and other team had three krabers so someone proposed at the halftime we make it all mastiffs vs. krabers

team kraber seriously never had a chance, if it wasn't for them all seemingly having fire stars...

NEED THOSE THREE MORE FD MAPS, i seriously haven't seen one other than Forwardbase Kodai in over a week :dead
(at least it's helping my friend learn the game while i get to do silly easy mode capable things like only use my pistol and rodeoes for an entire wave...plus knowing the wave order now lets me plaster the map in arc traps for which there totally needs to be an end round banner)

this guy was trying to get the cloak execution unlock thing, but he was counting them down in chat, so i grabbed him with the grapple whenever i saw his shimmering self running around after people until he said "omg stop that" 8)
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on September 02, 2017, 12:41:03 AM
randomly started using the Hover after unlocking it again this go-round and realizing that i basically never used whatever i was before

what a stupidly silly fun ability, and it feels like literally nobody is ready for it to be used to survey from long distances, it's a complete terror for people on glitch or anywhere that coming to a sudden stop way up in mid-air with lots of sight-lines blocked for anyone who is not totally hovering a thousand feet in the air is the last thing anyone will expect, like they say in video games nobody ever looks up

being able to do it anywhere makes it more fun than the wall hang, especially if you double jumped to some total nonsense position and use it

does diminish in effectiveness as titans drop and you're in their eyeline more often, hence the ability to get higher easier than with the wallhang helping out

now i'm realizing you could use it jumping backwards as you exit a building or with the grapple to make even more absurd sudden stops that you have no business doing in a MP FPS, cept the new king bless up  :rejoice

best part is how you can immediately cancel out of it into anything else just like all the movement, that's what CoD and a lot of other stuff hasn't yet figured out from what i've played, maybe CoD skipping at least a year and Brink coming back to the cheers of millions upon millions will get others to rethink the importance of movement and the superiority of objectives

This doesn't relate to the main game, just the franchise, but I was hopeful to see a mobile version of the property come out. Titanfall Assault is a good looking, reasonable to learn game without a disgusting number of mysterious currencies to figure out. It's more or less Crash Royale's mechanics, but troop placement is in a shared battleground rather than divided and bridge-crossable. Aggressive troop placement is partially ameliorated by automated turret emplacements.

It's fun, give it a shot.

also, that angel city wave that more or less forces you to circle the map to take out all the mortar spectres across every single rooftop :whew

even fakes you out the first time by taking you off to the one corner, dropping something else so you're like alright done with that, and then suddenly restarting the circle again

Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on September 04, 2017, 04:52:37 PM
oh jeez none of my aegis ranks are above 5 because i swap between them all constantly, same with weapons, etc.

i've never truly swapped off the grapple since i saw it in the trailer...except for a week where i was trying the holo pilots and while that was sometimes fun i never figured out the ideal ways for it while staying in motion

really everything just always comes back to me wanting that extra movement, the weird thing is that i never see anybody really using it at weird angles or swinging with it and i'm constantly doing that and then hitting walls and jumping off to grapple another point (now with some dead-stop hovers sprinkled in) and i can look back and see a dude totally give up trying to chase me down, even in a titan

and flying in from one direction, then looping around and cutting to float over stuff to the other side totally exploits the nobody looks up exploit, it's like i want to completely be dumb and climb and fly all over these maps and fire my grapple randomly and try to make it work and then oh yeah i totally meant to do that when i accidentally flip myself over a wall and land behind half the other team i'm a mlg pro 8)

of course basically 95% of people are either using stim or cloak from what i can tell

my favorite thing playing that little of live fire i did i mentioned above was all the people using cloak...like wtf, i felt it wasn't sporting to try and melee or grapple them like normal when i see some cloaked dude running around inside buildings and just put them out of their misery from afar instead

reminds me, the friend i mentioned a few posts above who was just getting into the game finally started to get some of the basics down after not knowing how to use the grapple, how you can really jump in any directions, etc. he hadn't yet cracked TF1 levels of movement yet, and i kept telling him that no you can literally do all this stuff in the trailers, i'm doing it regularly and i stink, just watch from a safe rooftop for a few seconds while i do stuff or whatever like two grapples and two jumps to cross angel city's middle while making a 45 degree turn back to come in the backside of the building, etc....then he figured out some of the basics the other weekend a bit and he was like oh my god at what you can do :ohhh

then right after we played some rainbow six siege and i fell off a building because i basically tried to wallrun :rofl

it honestly didn't look that far, i think she could have made it
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: Beezy on September 04, 2017, 05:18:28 PM
The best non-grapple movement and aim I've seen in this game are from people who play Live Fire regularly. One time this guy on the opposing team was wallrunning for most of the match with the first sniper rifle you get and he just kept picking off people. I hope I never play him again.

Northstar is the only other titan I use in Frontier Defense. Once I get all of Scorch's unlocks, I'll try messing around with a couple other titans.
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on September 04, 2017, 05:33:48 PM
that's that one ability to scope while wallrunning or whatever i think but you can quick-scope the kraber pretty well imo, probably puts on gun ready too, like most multiplayer games ever it's sometimes way easier to quick scope those sniper rifles in close quarters and if you have no movement penalty which this game totally lets you do which is the normal drawback

tone and legion seem really underpowered in FD i mean compared to how they play in MP, monarch and ion oddly work out better for me, i think in legion's case it's simply the speed factor plus how you've got basically nothing but the gun, that's all without aegis upgrades obviously, i thought tone's pulse could be useful but everybody probably ignores it

northstar with the full power shot, heck even half power, cleaning up all sorts of titans...and the hover saving me from having to run all over the map to take out the mortar titans when i can snipe em while hovering :lawd

though smh at a dude using ion who isn't putting down the tripwires nor using the scatter, it like why you even bro

Still enjoying this, finally seeing lots of people who know the game better than I do. Only winning half the time, so matchmaking is pretty tight.

However, I did just win my first shutout battle, pretty sure the other guy thinks I'm cheating.

out of desperation and assuming i was dead anyway, i decided to use the hover directly on the evac spot and everyone just ignored me standing there in the air and ship came and i popped in, they probably thought i was a glitch or something  :lol

noticed a lot more thunderbolts in use recently, wonder if people picked that up from playing frontier defense where it's even more useful

have i raved like a lunatic about the flexibility and movement in this game recently? because holy fuck this shit is so amazing, did they hire some wizards or somethin to code this game using magiC++ or what

Got it cheap at a PSN sale a while ago and started the single player campaign last week.

Stomping around with the titan is fun but I'm enjoying the hell out of jumping around and running on the walls and shit.

Most fun I've had with a shooter since I don't know, Halo? :rejoice

Wonder if there are other shooters that have the same kind of mobility...

And even that doesn't have the grappling hook, which I can't switch away from, I feel naked. I would keep moving in a way where I'd need it and just fall harmlessly to the ground as my clones or whatever ran off.

I rarely see other people using it though, usually stim and cloak, followed by the clones. One time saw a dude using the A-Wall and I was the only other person who would run over and use it when he put it up. :lol

I sling shot across the maps recklessly like it's fucking Spider-Man 2 all up in this joint all the time after spawning. Especially the first one even though it's stupid.

But yet again, it's a video game, nobody ever looks up. So I usually just fly right over.

Which now makes me want to do a spawn slingshot into the middle of a map and scope so I hover just for funzies.

In a frontier defense game I was playing last weekend it was funny watching my teammates on the map slowly trying to run back and forth to the various crisis points, while I was flinging myself all over off everything and into the air and raining down thunderbolt shots and electric smoke nades. Even the AI doesn't look up. I spent almost the entire game on the right side of the map alone as they all ran around the left side. And when something would get through to the harvester I would fling myself back in that direction, and take care of it, and then see a teammate come running out of a building from wherever.

Glitch is almost too much fun just flying around on that the other team gets in the way of me trying to do stupid routes like dropping under the one wall to grapple onto the other and continue running. Plus they added those ziplines out of the spawns so you can slide down those and then grapple to fling yourself across almost the entire map if there weren't the center walls blocking it.

no one speaking in this one, and he grapples a titan and circles around it, which always makes me wish the grapple actually was physical and you could tie it around the legs like star wars...also this one has more of the short crap i do a lot to just make me ever so erratic and make immediate direction/angle changes:

~1500 on weekdays
~2500-3000 on weekends
frontier defense did give it a boost, probably ~500 extra players compared to before it, it was also on sale then so that probably helped too

can pretty much find a game in a few seconds depending on how many modes you pick to matchmake into, taking the main modes of Attrition/Hardpoint/Bounty usually finds me a game in under a minute, putting Live Fire into the mix guarantees it...if you don't care and pick everything i'm sure you'd find games always within a few seconds

weekdays you can sometimes wait five minutes or so for frontier defense games, it cycles through potential games extra times before it'll put you in an empty slot in an already going game for that mode

the special weekly/monthly mode does seem to take forever unless it's advertising 2XP or says what the fuck it is, you can't stick it in your matchmaking modes list for some silly reason

it still seems to have that ol surely placebo Call of Duty matchmaking quirk where it seems like you're getting nothing so you back out and go right back in again and you'll be put into a game pretty much instantly :lol

Sounds like Visceral was ultimately shut down because this deal was happening and that the Respawn Star Wars game looks way better in its current state that the Visceral game ever did. Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst. Titanfall 2 should've been a bigger deal. Maybe Respawn will come out well on the deal and absorb some of those Visceral guys. Maybe Respawn will develop the next good Dead Space game. Maybe they'll take over Need for Speed and make a good one of those.

Wouldn't Disney be contracted for both projects to release, regardless of a change in ownership?

I don't think Disney would be involved in any of this in anyway at all, none of their properties are involved and they don't own EA.

saw a [GAF] clan tag again

dude was using smart pistol and tone with purchased (i guess it could have dropped) prime skin

i haven't checked if there's an ERA network i should have told him all the cool kids had immigrated after i squashed him with my titan's fist

i saw someone had changed the GAF network to say something about how it was DEAD FOREVER, so i deleted it from my list

i actually only ever use the default advocate, my YUM! Brands OFFICIAL one that i made that none of you joined, and Giant Bomb's for happy hour but i had added a whole bunch of them at one point

the gaf dude was chasing me through the drydock interior parts which are a constant set of 90 degree turns if you want but he didn't seem to know the layout since who ever goes through those walkways so i was able to just break his lock everytime the warning popped up until i got to the middle with the ship and i was thinking i was totally badass at this point as we had taken the lead, i kept getting RAMPAGE icons and this dork was wasting time chasing me down with the smart pistol that i thought, yep i'm gonna totally grapple across the midpoint no matter what is happening and swing into the other corridors and he is going to feel like an idiot

but the smart pistol keeps its lock on someone grappling because of course it does why wouldn't it

so it was a good thing i threw down an electric smoke nade right before i tried to be stupid awesome, the dummy walked right into it to maintain his lock, hope he enjoyed the killcam of me tossing a nade at a railing and then grappling over it
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on November 16, 2017, 01:21:29 AM
it actually bums me out that i never see nutty kill cams like those for myself, everybody else just shoots at you or whatever, i throw nades at walls or fire thunderbolts wildly in the general direction of enemy titans, people must think i'm totally crazy

like how do i find that japanese dude so he can kill me in crazy ways like coming flying inverted at me at a 27 degree angle then dropping me with a single pistol headshot as he flies over the top of the building to land in his titan

speaking of which ever since watching all those videos i started getting absurd with how i get to and enter my titan if it's some distance away, like i flung myself with a single grapple over two blocks on colony to get into a titan i had dropped on a hardpoint and it's just silly that you can do that and still control yourself in the air enough to get within range to hit E and be grabbed :lol

also been flinging myself over stuff so i can fire thunderbolts down on titans and then be in a totally different spot from where the shot came from

On Origin anyway they lowered the price to $20 normally now.

It had been $30, so it'd go 50% off for $15 during sales. I noticed EA does some screwy pricing/discounts on the various packages, like the recent sale had them on BF1 so the base game wouldn't drop under $25 while the new complete package discounted to $35 or something.

But they sometimes don't mess with lower tier games like that, Mirror's Edge Catalyst they let hit $5 for example.

holy shit at the Mozambique on a map with hallways/forced close to mid-ranges like Complex :rofl

i've started dropping my sentry in just plain random spots instead of trying perfect coverage spots and it's way stupider bullshit (other than having one watch a bank or hardpoint)

between the two and then dropping my titan in the middle of the hallway on top of people i had about 15 straight kills to start a bounty hunt match before the first wave was over

by the middle of the match the other team was camping outside with their titans because we had the inside on such lockdown, to deposit to the only bank they could get to they'd come in as an entire group so their titans would cover, i'd hit our bank and take the shortcut through the two tiny hallways to the main one and fire some thunderbolts over there or throw a nade with no intention of actually challenging them alone just keeping em honest :lol

one of them decided he was going to bumrush us with his scorch to try and break the area control and he was a bit of a problem as we had did have no titans at the moment, but he and everyone else didn't appear to know what i knew and that's that electric smoke nades put out the fires, so then we pummeled him with lasers and thunderbolts while somebody went around and got on his back, he died in the titan and the dummy had like $200 to deposit :dead

that opening round bloodbath and during the cod beta when i was terrorizing everyone with the incendiary rounds in the shotgun are two times i've been like, should have been recording in case of stuff like this

noticed BF Hardline is finally down to $5

single player is actually sorta okay it's kinda stupid goofy in its failure to successfully be serious, though iirc you can totally do no-kill runs on many of the missions like it was SWAT 5 or something

the multiplayer situation on PC: there's one server still (like Brink before it became free) that's always up and always seems like it has 24+ dudes playing, it does every map and mode, sometimes there's like five other servers that pop up on weekends and stuff...but this one always seems to be available right now it's playing hardcore bank job has 28/32 players

game has always felt like a weird mod to me, my favorite MP mode is the stealing cars one because its like the design team went after bank jobs and hostages and so on..."okay, how about a mode where you steal cars" "but then what would they do?" "i guess they could just circle the map and teammates could lean shooting out the windows while cops try to stop them" and then they were like DONE, SOLD, SHIP IT

and yet it's strangely engrossing, especially as the cops, and especially because a totally viable strategy as the cops is to blow up all the marked cars as they spawn to minimize their chances of being stolen :dead

also like in the city map you can totally go up on the roof of the tallest skyscrapers and try to shoot people miles down on the ground because why not, we don't need a RETURN TO THE BATTLEFIELD marker up there, or better yet, try to fire on the cars driving around crazily in that mode...like i said, feels like a mod

plus it was visceral's last game and their inability to pull it off to EA's expectations cast doubt on their Star Wars game and ultimately got them all fired!

i already said there's really only one server that's on constantly :ufup

it's not always hardcore, it does literally cycle through everything though...arguably the best part about it is that it won't allow a repeat map/mode vote unless the round ends really early, so like five minutes or something, so dopes can't trap it on the same map and same mode forever i always hate that about borderline dead games

i don't remember if it cycles through them as sets though, like it might be going through all the hardcore sets, before going back to normal and doing all the bank jobs, then all the car thefts, etc. or if it's truly random, never played it more than two rounds, one time it did back to back car thefs on two different maps, other time it did car theft, then bank job

the other times i've played there were actually other servers but the last time i did it was like you describe plus this one everything server

there was back when the game was sorta popular a custom game mode you could find where one team had to get in cars, and it would auto-equip missile launchers or whatever for the passengers, and the other team were only allowed in helichoppers (or on foot), it was totally broken and unbalanced but it was also completely stupid fun because you had to just drive around crazily as your passengers tried to auto-lock and fire before the choppers shot up your car too much

Only 7 servers available. All of them at 0. Like, it's dead, bro.

If that one server was the car circle mode you talked about, I'd do the 24/7 thing just to hit max rank and maybe unlock all the guns before dumping it like hot trash. But that's not even available. It's just Conquest Large (which is meh), and Hardcore (which I don't do in any of the Battlefields).

also they gave away half the DLC, but never discount the rest below Call of Duty type prices and i'm pretty sure basically just gave up on and forgot about the game especially since it's not DICE's

BF2 and BF3 and BF4 they gave the whole damn everything away to keep the games and modes alive

They gave away 3 of 4 here. Whereas BF4 at all of them given away and IIRC they even REDID that promotion. It seems like EA officially washed their hands of it since it bombed hard.

not like respawn and titanfall 2

bless up

the Mozambique should be called God Slayer, the kill distance is absurdly far compared to how everything about the gun makes it seem it would be, it's longer and a tighter spread than the shotguns but the gun itself operates more like a shotgun...should play some frontier defense with it to fast grind away the levels so i can put the extended mags and fast reload on it and make it illegal in 57 states

Huh, that XtG one didn't used to be hardcore only. That was the one apparently as it's marked as favorite for me. I'm looking at Hardcore description and it turns off the spotting on screen and I know that used to work because it'd glitch through the one vault door on the one bank job so I'd always mash it furiously to see defenders hiding behind it. :trumps

I wouldn't defend it if you're not interested in the single player, I was just noting it wasn't totally dead dead as that XtG server I've always seen full of people and it did all the modes so you could get maybe ten hours of enjoyment before it's boring anyway. Maybe they had a non-HC one also? I dunno. Dump it I guess and play the superior EA product Titanfall 2.

so i literally didn't know you could bank sentries until literally ten minutes ago when i did it accidentally

yet i somehow knew you could bank ticks? :doge

also putting two pilot sentries in both stairwells that are the main approach to a hardpoint that has incredibly bad sightlines actually made someone shit talk me in chat

tho he only just said "omg benji what in the flying fuck you asshole" :lol

apparently three titan sentries can take out a legion in like two seconds

now i want to bank them up through a round just to plop them all down during an evac, i already save one if i get it and see we're about to lose anyway and use it like a told to stand titan to help defend the ship but i'm imagining slightly enjoyable humor at people coming to stop us and running into a bunch of titan sentries instead

speaking of chat, the other night people were actually using voice chat which has been months since i heard anyone and it was like four people, the one guy was drunk because he was losing visitation to his kid which led to a long like horribly dark humor funny conversation between him and these other two dudes...also they started mentioning stuff off hand and we were annihilating the other team

i've been using the DMR as it's the only weapon i haven't got above level 7 yet, and i started to non-deliberately figure out the line down the model to where its crosshair is and been no-scoping people like nonsense, even through smoke which is just pure luck but i've been enjoying it because it reminds me of DoD days where i knew where the crosshair was in relation to the tip of the springfield and kar's models...no drawing fucking dry erase dots for benji! he's a real weirdo!

i looked into it and because it's semi-auto it's hitscan apparently so that's probably why i've been having success hip firing the thing versus the other sniper rifles which use a projectile model, actually i feel like you can hip fire it better than the G2 rifle, it must be more accurate as panic firing with that thing feels borderline meaningless sometimes but the DMR even though i'm no-scoping with it feels like i'm hitting people more ... i could probably look at my stats and see

but that feels like taking this game way too seriously, looking this up on the wiki already feels like i've done too much

also this week was the first time i've seen it regularly under 1000 players during my normal play times and was under 2000 on weekend booooooooo

That sounds better than the last time I heard someone use voice chat.

It was some dude talking about “distinguished black fellows give me all of your money” or some shit like that, but he also sounded way too old for that sort of thing.

And he was trying to sing it. It was way worse than even the early Xbox live days, because then you’d at least get one o other guy yelling at him and trying to team kill him.

"GUYS WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE NORTHSTAR"
"WE NEED OUR TITANS QUICK"
"I'M PUTTING OUT A PARTICLE WALL, AS TONE"
"GUYS THEY HAVE A SCORCH"

we were destroying the other team but he was jabbering like we were on the verge of losing at any second, it was kinda adorable in the first game because he was so earnest, then in the second game he started to sound annoyed that nobody was following his orders

in second game the other team had all of the top three, but we had #4-9, all close together and just behind #3 so it was a bloodbath, they spent the last two minutes cursing at each other in chat so i got to grapple kill one after standing behind him for like ten seconds :lol

seeing siege get updated constantly, i kinda wish we'd get one more set of maps, even if they're just titanfall 1 rehashes and not in frontier defense, especially since those last two updates were skins

also they seem to have forgot they were going to try more primary pistols i thought? maybe they dropped that with the rifle testing they did too :-\

the wingman elite is such hacks, i've been playing with it almost exclusively for a while now to level it up, people think you're taking pot shots at em but the thing will one/two-hit kill constantly even at absurd distances :lol

i get guys with rifles at a distance and they see the pistol and almost let me take the second shot for free half the time it feels like...it's semi auto so you can dump the whole magazine pretty quick when dudes are around

i talked about it before i'm pretty sure, but they patched it to make it even more overpowered since then i think, the mozambique is really just a shotgun with a pistol model, it feels so stupid to one-shot everyone with it while running around, especially since the spread is set for two to the chest, one to the head so you really don't have to aim in close other than up a little

actually one thing they legitimately could do is put all the game modes in the game for good, rather than it cycle randomly through a featured mode, the matchmaking selector will make it not a problem with call of duty

huh, game designer and producer ones definitely make me stand up more so than the artists who tend to shuffle around more often on franchises to do something different as they move up

especially the guy going from Respawn as designer to Multiplayer Director at IW, hopefully he cleans up the biggest problem of Infinite Warfare's MP for me in that it sprawled all over copying all the other CoD's when had it stayed tight and controlled like TF's some of the gameplay was actually pretty darn good and seemed aware of some of CoD's legacy problems back to MW3 even if they were unsuccessful about managing them (WWII did lots of this by brute force, going back in time, etc.)

IW totally has my permission to say "fuck boots on the ground" go farther into space and start dropping giant mechs from the sky and turn Infinite Warfare into a trilogoy spiritual sequel to Titanfall...especially if that franchise going forward gets chewed up in the EA maw, especially the combined Star Wars-EA maw

...though Activision may not agree about following up IW...I'd like to pretend the transfer is because they're "free'd" to follow it up since it's similar to TF in many ways already, like Treyarch has to have been free'd to ditch the campaign (speaking of which, let IW ditch zombies)

I could see ppl like this leaving if focus has shifted to a more of a world type game with pvp offerings. Instead of just straight split sp/pvp.

Really been meaning to swing back into this (on PC) but the last time I had it installed the competition was absolute brutal, made me feel like an idiot/dont have hundreds of hours in this game on 2 platforms lol.

He was by far the biggest remaining name in Titanfall 2 once Frothy and Sager left. People donated money to this clown to buy a new PC despite him being a grown ass man employed as a commercial airline pilot. Respawn featured him multiple times as well.

Post by: benjipwns on August 07, 2018, 02:17:27 AM
this dude dropped his titan right at the entry of the bridge mid-point so none of his team could get through and i kept using the titan shield on it to block all the dopes trying to fire their rockets at me using the lock-on notice until it dropped and started to auto-titan (then i blasted it with rockets and melee'd it lol) because he couldn't get to it with his stupid teammates in the way :dead

i don't think anyone actually realized i was deliberately keeping the point amped and standing on it so it couldn't be immediately re-captured and was willing to lose the titan because they all backed up and dudes not in titans hid when i closed the gap to the edge of the capture area...it's like, fine by me to give me more time to make sweet point scorin love to the point brehs

really most people don't seem to care about amping the points, two of my kills were dinguses trying to sneak onto C while i was amping it alone because everyone else just ran past to B and they acted totally oblivious to making sure nobody was there, though i guess it's always been like this and i've probably even mentioned it before, hooray titanfall 2, bless up

I'm still shocked Titanfall titles aren't free 2 play. It was a huge fuck up on their part with Titanfall 1. It could have been a really big game had they gone that route.

A kid my daughter plays with said his favorite video game was titanfall 2 the other day.

Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: Assimilate on August 21, 2018, 10:15:12 AM
But Tone hasn't been good since the launch. Ion was easily the best Titan for a while there.

All these Titans have been either OP or underpowered at one point. They really fucked up the Titan play compared to how it was in the first game.

Outside of the arc cannon being too strong the game was so fucking balanced.

I felt like the arc cannon in TF1 fucked up the meta far far more than it is in 2. If you played against a team full of arc cannon users the only real response was to also use arc cannon. It was pretty shit.

I sort of like the more individualized titans, I just feel like they needed like 4 or 5 more.

Yeah but by time this happened most of the people playing knew not to do that. You'd run into an all arc team very rarely.

TF1 was fucking amazing. Probably my fav shooter of all time. It is sad what became of this franchise.

Titanfall 2 didn't really bomb, five million is pretty good except when like EA you're projecting to sell 10+ million. And somehow expected to do 4 million of those in the first week against CoD and BF doing the same.

Not that it obviously shouldn't have done better.

Don't care about multiplayer, but this game had the best campaign of an FPS since Half Life 2.
And fuck is it fun to control the character around, too bad it's super short, they don't even let you use the hook in single player.

I hope they do another one of these.
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: Nintex on December 29, 2018, 06:38:39 AM
Vince Zampella touches on the creation of the Titanfall 2 campaign in the Half Life documentary.
As it is known as the most Half Life-like single player experience since Half Life 2 + Episodes.

Apparently the Titanfall 2 campaign was made as a sort of 'game jam' project.
Small groups worked on seperate and fun gameplay concepts and level designs and they packaged those together. Which is different from writing a story and building scenario's to support the narrative.
Half Life was made pretty much in the same way. They created a game based on fun and cool gameplay concepts and technology. Which is why tentacle monsters and attack helicopters can live in the same game world.

Hopefully their Star Wars game takes a lot of cues from Titanfall and Half Life as well.
But it seems likely we'll see another Titanfall because Vince knows how to deliver games. He's a pretty safe bet as far as developers go.

Origin says I'm at 138 hours.

Titanfall 2's player count on PC has been higher all of 2019. It had fallen to about 700 players a night except weekends after Blops IIII came out. But all of 2019 it's been over a thousand a night. My data is actually pretty good from a statistical stand point because of me playing at YUM! Brands happy hour consistently.  I assume a bunch of people hopped in when it was $5 again in the Origin sale and saw how sweet it is. People are chatting a lot more often I noticed too.

A couple weeks ago I landed in a game with the same guy three nights in a row. The third time he said "benjipwns? nooooo we dead" because it was the same mode (Amped Hardpoint or Bounty Hunt, I forget which) again and the night before I had practically self-won a match again like the image I posted a page back or so only he was on my team then. :lol

The Youtuber notes that the game is pitched as Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout meets Rainbow Six Siege, and while it takes place in the Titanfall universe, will have a different feel than the previous games.

Matches will consist of teams of three working together to be the last team standing. How many maps there will be, and how many teams per match, isn't clear or divulged. However, TheQuatering notes there will be different classes to play as.
from what i remember that sounds like what they said BFV's battle royale is supposed to be?

Schreier on it:
Quote from: https://kotaku.com/a-free-to-play-titanfall-battle-royale-game-will-be-out-1832291956
The game isn’t officially announced just yet, but word leaked out this morning thanks to esports journalist Rod Breslau. As Breslau reported today, it’s called Apex Legends and will be out on Monday for PC, Xbox, and PS4. It’s a free-to-play battle royale that, interestingly, won’t let you use the Titan mech suits that make Titanfall so iconic. You’ll have supernatural MOBA-like hero abilities and play either solo or in a team of three as you battle other players for delicious chicken dinners.

We’ve heard all of those same details. A tipster sent me some info about Apex Legends early last month—“It plays like Titanfall mixed with Overwatch and Blackout from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4,” they told me at the time—and from what we’ve heard, publisher EA held an event for streamers and YouTubers this week to show off the game, which is likely how the news leaked.

Here’s another interesting tidbit: As I was reporting on EA’s purchase of Titanfall developer Respawn in the fall of 2017—a move that was forced by a Nexon bid for the studio and may have been directly connected to the closure of Visceral—I heard from a Respawn source that Titanfall 3 was well into development and that the studio had been looking to release it by the end of 2018. The rationale, that source said, was that the game’s underlying technology was starting to feel dated and that Titanfall 3 might not feel or look as good if it came out too much later. (Like the previous two Titanfall games, Titanfall 3 used a modified version of Valve’s Source engine.)

Perhaps the studio decided to switch engines for Titanfall 3, releasing Apex Legends (which is also reportedly on Source) as a stopgap as it pushed back the release of a proper third Titanfall game. Or perhaps the work Respawn had done for Titanfall 3 wound up evolving into this spinoff game. No matter what, the third Titanfall appears to be way down the road.

Expect Apex Legends to be announced very soon, perhaps tomorrow at the Super Bowl or on Monday as a not-so-much-of-a-surprise reveal. This will be the first of two games Respawn has planned for this year, in addition to Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, which is slated to come out in the fall.

Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: Nintex on February 03, 2019, 03:03:24 PM
Easy. Just make them unlockable in the game.
For example, you need to find 3 hidden items which spawn at random locations.

- Helmet
- Activation key
- Drop beacon

Collect all three and you can summon a titan.
Other players can see you wearing the helmet. So they'll be hunting you down for it.
There's 3 of these sets hidden in the map. So there can't be more than 3 titans active at the same time.

The campaign's only standout level is the time level about 8 missions in. It's not really worth slogging through, but if you play on easy, I suggest getting to that point for the gimmick being used pretty well alone.

I didn’t love the campaign that much either.

It was good, but I didn’t cream over it. I think half life 2 sucks though, so keep that in mind as everyone seems to think the two compare well.

The multiplayer in tf2 though, is the best.

while looking to see if nuke ejecting into a escape ship could have explained that, I came across a post saying you can grapple onto the drop ships in Attrition that bring in new grunts, I knew you could blow them up because it actually worked decently in the first game but they're quicker in the second and less of the whole game which is more apt to drop those capsules in

I may or may not have spent much of an entire match focusing on attempting to do this and then riding them up into the skybox rather than shooting people, but I also won an Amped Hardpoint match in first place from all my defense points so :pacspit
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on July 30, 2019, 12:48:24 AM
the mastiff is such a stupid automatic headshot weapon on anyone who's on the same level as you (especially the ground) once you get the first one i love it because it just feels absurd and it has like an exponential effect on your play because you're going in with the idea of one shotting a dude and moving on rather than any kind of battle, and even if the first shot is no good on the headshot, you only need a second one; also there's no fucking drop off from most distances lol

i always forget about it until i cycle back around to it as i cycle through every gun leveling them up

game has had more people playing it the last few weeks been about a consistent ~1100 which means matches are found in under ten seconds 95% of the time, it had dropped down to ~800 people for a long time outside of the APEX boost, but I dunno where this recent bump has come from, must been a sale or something (I almost never remember to check Origin sales), lots of not prestiged players, seeing lots of [RDDT] too used to be like one or two a match
Title: Re: Titanfall 2

what do you have ticked for matchmaking? even at peak it takes me like 90 seconds to find games usually
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on July 31, 2019, 02:31:26 AM
I used to do everything but Pilots v. Pilots and Last Titan Standing because I want Pilots v. Titans action, except LiveFire was kinda okay to mess around with for a match. Then I played a really dumb CTF match involving everyone death matching while I tried to chase one dude taking the flag and took it off the list in anger, so recently I've just had Attrition/Amped/Bounty/LiveFire.

90 seconds or so was what it was like at ~800 people for me, but the last couple weeks it's been so fast I even considered turning off Attrition to see if it was possible. I seem connect to the NYC or Iowa Respawn server usually. Or Chicago, which is physically closest but it seems they only have one set of servers there, because there's an Iowa-2 and NYC-2 and NYC-3 but I've never seen a Chicago-2. Iowa is definitely slower in matchmaking I've noticed, I'll assume that it tries to grab too many people on the wrong side of the Mississippi then breaks us up due to pings.

I've never looked into how any of Titanfall 2's stuff works but I definitely like it way more than CoD's and as I've mentioned would so love for that to adopt this. Blops 4's betas all being in Control (plus Overwatch's help) I think played a huge role in saving that from the TDM hell the series always falls into but it still sucks sitting in a lobby for a single game mode.

I started playing 2-3 matches every night I’m this and it’s still a great game with a decent community on Xbox.

I came back after not playing for several months and it’s still a good time. Matchmaking is still fast and it doesn’t suffer from like “the only people still playing a try hards and pre-makes” that a lot of these games get after they die off a bit. Almost all of my matches are fairly close.

Had a great one last night where we were behind by like 50 points in attrition and played it tactical when they had 6 titans on the field and came back to win by 20. I went ham with Ronin and killed like 4 titans in a row.
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on September 30, 2019, 09:54:45 PM
Yeah, I play at least one a night still depending on how frustrating the team play was. There's actually a decent amount of "new" players on PC based on their level counts.

Ronin fucking scares people to this day if you're using everything it can do. Not even talking about just myself doing it, I see other players who can use it making other titans back up and shit when it's dashing at them, unloading with both the gun and melee and then phasing out of sight just to suddenly reappear right back in their face. :lol

The other night I realized that the Bounty Hunt titans don't pop smoke so it's totally viable to do the rodeo->titan drop kill on them to make sure nobody else can get the bounty. The timing on the battery removal animation is almost perfect so you jump off just before you'd get crushed.

Last night there was a dude running around hiding in corners cloaked so he could do executions on people. I obviously started hunting him till he stopped. :doge

Post by: kingv on October 01, 2019, 10:15:40 AM
One thing they nailed with this game is that it is seldom frustrating, even when you are losing.

Having AI enemies was a good idea for that and you come back to life so quickly that death is a temporary setback.

I do kind of think that Titanfall 1 is better in some ways though. The levels were better and the dedicated servers allowed more AI density.

Would like to see some of that come back in tf3... if it happens.

Now that I’ve been playing this again, it reminds me how badly some of the maps in this game suck and lend themselves to camping and other unfun play styles.

Relic is garbage, I keep running into teams that just camp out in the big orange room area under the ship. It’s lame af.

Crash site is terrible, especially if you start on the bottom.

Complex also kind of sucks.

The game is at its best with the more open maps where you can change up the direction you are approaching by going around, under, or over stuff.

Also played against a dude who was incredibly good with the grappling hook. It was like watching Neo the way he used it.

Post by: benjipwns on October 09, 2019, 02:56:15 AM
Relic's problem is that titans essentially can only go in the center from the one direction and thus it becomes a jammed up titan mess because nobody realizes you can crouch (and slide) with titans to go out/in the other way.

It does hurt when you play one of the old maps and realize just how much space there was and then play a new map. And even the ones they ported to 2 are some of the smaller ones. Like nobody really goes to the outskirts of Angel City.

I don't think I'm all that good with the grapple but I have been asked by people how to do stuff in game after they watch me use it to grab onto random things and then fling myself at odd angles. It's mostly just people thinking that it's way more limited than it actually is. Last time was a guy asking how I got across Boomtown so fast, he didn't realize you could grapple all the random shit spread on the map, not just the "walls" and I was using a car and then a broken slab to pull myself forward and then fling myself around and over the center to land on the backside in those fields.
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: kingv on October 09, 2019, 08:12:26 AM
I might try out the grapple more... but I really like the stim. Pop it to catch up to a titan, or to run away when you get shot.

Plus it restarts your healing right away.

Post by: benjipwns on October 11, 2019, 12:50:42 AM
dudes on the other team were whining through this attrition game (on Relic) in general chat for the whole match:
"i am so tired of these one sided matches"
"this game is so broken, why did they never fix it?"
"is half their team hacking"
"the kill cams do look sus"
"some of them are exploiting the grapple to triple jump"
"how the fuck did [some dude on our team] know i was going through a doorway? he was looking right at it!"
"benji must have some pay perk on his titan" (i kept dooming this dude's ion with a monarch from like halfway across the map because he was dropping the triplines and then standing and waiting for someone to come through his clever trap, the titans don't have recoil you dummy and i'm shooting at your weak point for massive damage)
"they're somehow shooting me out of the air even though i'm dodging or cloaked"
"is there a report function?"

some guy on our team at the end of the match as they're all whining more after we blow up the rescue ship finally says:
"just learn to shoot harder smdh"

lol shoot harder was perfect, none of us said anything else

it was really lopsided though, if there was a top six instead of top three we would have had five of the six and then seventh too, they weren't killing any of the fodder either, i always try to get like 50 points or so that way, just dashing the titans over grunts is probably worth 20 points a game to me (i also throw a lot of electric smoke grenades at the pods when they land)
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: kingv on October 11, 2019, 10:52:25 AM
On the boner, I very rarely get into lopsided matches.

In the last few weeks I’ve only had maybe 3 or so that were stomps. It mostly seems to happen if you Party up. I think it prioritizes pre-mades into groups with each other and randos into groups with each other.

Because I join someone’s game invite from the advocate room, the matches are a lot sweatier.
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on October 11, 2019, 11:09:31 AM
I don't think we were particularly lopsided in terms of what the matchmaking would take into account. We were just a better team once we got put together. Also we weren't stopping to type a bunch of shit into chat all match long.

Was just playing just a regular ol attrition match, not only was it super tight the whole way and we barely won like 650-640 or something, but the grunts and stuff were dropping perfectly along with the lines of the battle. Everybody was actually kinda sticking close together both as Titans and Pilots. It really did strike me as just how huge and awesome the battles can feel when it works out like that (admittingly not that often and less effective on some of 2's maps) and how much all those AI fighters add even if they barely fight back and like to kill you only if you try to act like they don't exist or you're briefly ignoring them to try and do something else before clearing them out. I'd really like to see the new larger style Call of Duty (or Battlefield) try something similar. Though I don't know how much of that truly needs the backend like they were somewhat exaggeratedly describing way back before the first game.

Also if you jump on the street lights people seem confused and act like you're hovering even though you can still move.

I hope EA gives them the promise they made to [five other studios that are now in hell] where they do one "priority" game and one "studio favorite" game.

APEX now looks brilliant, but it was still kind of an not-so-EA risk, jumping into an already filled market with a game like that with no pre-release talk or anything. Especially when Battlefield had BR coming. And Respawn was known to be doing Star Wars.

I think they actually did make money on Titanfall 2, they just set the expectations too high THEN moved the date to a hell spot, the first game did fantastic remember. It being tied into APEX's world lets them do something like a next-gen game that's Titanfall + APEX like how Blackout got welded onto CoD.

Absolutely none of this post is wishful thinking and is fact first hand talk from my Uncle who runs EA's secret top secret unit.

regarding that PA comic, yeah, without even looking at people's levels you can definitely tell as me and everyone are fighting around the tops of maps, they're running around the ground level and only getting onto roofs via stairs

seeing titans panic as you confound them by moving at strange angles with speed is also a good sign, the other night this dude literally chased me, firing almost blindly, for like a minute as i kept peppering him with hits and eventually escaped into the upper levels of Rise until he passed and I blasted him some more from far away to doom the titan :lol

i thought he was gonna have me but instead of meleeing he tried to shoot me again so i was able to use the titan as a grapple point to move across his front fast and fling away

grapple to rodeo and stop moving? :donot

a bunch of dudes rage quit mid match so it was like 5 v 3, and everyone was saying to do a kraber match but i already was sitting in my titan as the only one so i spent the rest of the time running around running over grunts and blowing up the reapers and killing the auto titan that someone dropped by accident so everybody else could kraber match, i came around a corner and found like the entire other team and stopped and backed up and they said "thanks benji" :lol

everybody else had like 15+ pilot kills, zero titan kills and barely any AI kills and i had like two pilot kills, three titan kills and 80 some AI kills

also i've been mixing up the loadouts some on my titans from how i've played forever, the arc rounds on the monarch are insane, can't believe i never used them before, they fire through shields both the regular kind and the ion/scorch's absorb thing but people'll just stand there like the shield is working, the gun that the monarch has will rip even legions apart so fast i don't think anyone realizes it; during my clearing out i managed to upgrade all the way and the last upgrade that speeds up your rounds is hilarious, the reapers were going down in like a second from me just blasting through them

i also switched my titan kit to energy thief, when you do a termination on a doomed titan you steal their battery too, also the animation is hilarious: your titan kills the other pilot by smashing the cockpit door down on them

the team decided to just let them escape but right as the escape ship was getting to the edge i fired one shot to knock out the shield :teehee

Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on December 19, 2019, 10:15:45 PM
yeah I maybe every other match was even getting to lvl 2

the arc rounds are lvl 1 though, since I switched to them I've been living longer and seem to always get to 2 now, I had originally settled on the extra missiles but the arc rounds are way more effective, especially since you can basically snipe with the fucking thing across any map through tiny building gaps and shit

having that termination also helps because the batteries not only bump up your level but recharges your shield and health, also when you level up each step your shield gets recharged, plus the energy siphon is really important to use whenever it's available (thankfully it aims at the same spot as your weapon)

until you get to lvl 2 and upgrade it I'm not sure I see a ton of value in the reloading "perk" in the middle of a fight, but after you upgrade it if you can dash into cover you can come back out blasting with everything which wrecks even a legion pretty fast
Title: Re: Titanfall 2

Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on December 19, 2019, 11:06:10 PM
It beefs up your shields, it also slows them down and screws up their vision. And successful hits with it build up your core.

You can use it on everything btw, the dropships that come in to drop grunts are perfect fodder to hit if you're away from battle. I don't know what it does to pilots exactly but I've hit them accidentally with it.

The lvl 2 upgrade to it makes it AoE from where you hit so you can hit multiple titans/pilots/etc.

I listened to Frothy and some others videos about each titan while working and have been considering some of the suggestions, I'm not sure about some of them but a few so far seem promising, malestrom as level 2 for monarch definitely is pretty absurd nonsense, and using the long range powershot with the legion as a railgun that gets you fast to smart core which you use the extended perk on is pretty annoying too.

I see the benefits of the charge laser especially as you can hit pilots with it, but blasting the thunderbolt in the general direction of titans (especially when you're using titan hunter) just seems so key to my playstyle at this point that I dunno, even if everyone considers it "meme tier" or whatever.

Also nobody seems to decide whether Ion's tripwires are totally useless or a secret awesome feature so good that the no energy usage version makes it the best Titan class. Same with its regular gun. So all I learned regarding that is what I already knew about the laser shot being your actual main weapon. Though I did learn that laser core fires higher than it appears on the screen so it can look (to everyone including yourself) like you're blasting some chest high wall but it's totally destroying some dude half a mile away.

Frothy, and another who I forget, really seems to hate the auto-eject because you don't get the doomed state health and losing a titan hurts your team, but not only are you losing the titan anyway, I watched them using it and none of them seemed to know you can direct the way you eject out of the titan and maneuver in the air rather than just firing straight up. I use it to briefly get out of the area and come back around to re-hunt the titans. Some maps make it completely trivial to immediately disappear onto rooftops or into upper levels until the heat is off.

I caved and switched to the fast charge, I can pepper them pretty good and get enough crits to build up my meter since I'm Titan Hunter. Especially if I can nail them with an arc nade which I've also been playing with. I'll consider moving back after I start chugging along, I'm now leveling it up actually. (To show how ineffective I was.)

Main titan learns so far:
Legion: goal is to just get to smart core, using the long range railgun is brutal on people too, everyone expects the legion to be spun up firing and not railgunning their crit points
Ion: definitely underused the laser until now, popping out, blasting and back to cover works well, tripwires are great don't believe the lies, can actually drop them if you have no smoke and kill rodeos if you crouch and turn your back to them since rodeos can only jump off one way, use the regular gun (not split) just to cover retreats while laser recharges, don't really bother with the shield
Monarch: forget what I said about reload on level 2 entirely, Maelstrom is omg absurd... actually doubting what I said about arc rounds now and maybe the missiles are better after all, the arc rounds "feel" better tho
Tone: I've spent the whole time firing too few missiles into the air
Northstar: when you get the core, hover and right as you start to come down, trigger it, it shoots you up like twice as high, you can't be melee'd and stuff anymore

Moved off my beloved sentries to map hack, I wish I could tell if it was helping my team, I don't need the XP but at least in CoD/BF you get the assist notification, would like that, it's not so useful for me as much... I considered doing Dice Roll just to get random but I don't want to wind up as that dude with a smart pistol

I did some Stim and immediately kept screwing up because I didn't have my grapple so I just said, nah I don't need to change that at this point, sometimes your original methods are the best, I learned that in the other TF2 ages ago

The main change since I watched these videos is I'm thinking a ton more about building up the core, I used to be focused on damaging titans or controlling areas, and I mean, you still do, but doing what you can to get to the cores (except Ronin's I guess) is really important after all, even if it feels like I always am doomed right as I get to one... also been focused a lot more on using cover as a titan outside of Ronin, I never really did it enough with them except Monarch and Northstar

The most important thing though? I remembered how you can melee through the titan shields, killed like four dudes in a match as they were trying to hide/get in their titan, I knew this with Ronin (and he's the only one who can do it without damaging himself) but all of them can do it and you won't take any real amount of damage if you dash backwards as soon as you hit

I figure someday I'll get tired of this like the other TF2 (which I've considered revisiting just to futz around), DoD:S, DoD, etc. Maybe it'll be this year?

smh at dudes who come busting through with their titan just to use it to eject into the ship when there's three enemy titans around

like first of all they gonna blow up the ship

second at least leave the auto titan, they suck but it'll distract and melee them at least

third, I KNOW YOU GONNA JUST SIT HERE AND NOT SHOOT OUT OF THE SHIP, ONLY I EVER SEEM TO DO THAT, at least drop nades straight down man!

literally everyone on the other team had nuke ejections equipped and this dude was complaining about it

so i typed "USE THE PATENTED GET OUT OF THE WAY MOVE"

and many "lol" were responded

 :smug

also these stupid fucking scorches and this tone kept trying to battle me at long distance while i kept laser sniping them with ion then ducking back to cover, then when they got doomed i'd throw down tripwires and wait for them to come closer (to try the nuke eject i assume) then suddenly bum rush them to execute, try nuke ejecting when i'm laser melting your face off buddy

Became in favor of gun control after the entire other team was using smart pistols.

Also, this dude thought he was clever continually putting his Northstar up on the crane on Drydock. Except he couldn't move side to side very much, and my ion laser was quite effective then. Also because he was doing stuff like this I decided to be a dick back to him and not dodge his flight cores but always move in the way and grab all the missiles. He thought he was going to able to hit the entire team with it one time so I dash strafed out from behind the wall to grab them all then fire them back to the side deliberately like he was beneath my using them against him. :pacspit

actually hasn't budged much, 1100-1500 mostly every night higher end on weekends, I assume it's benefited because otherwise Warzone would have taken players, it generally drops to the lower end and under 1000 during big game releases but it never did for Warzone's release

is it just me or did the higher res version never process on that video? the video I uploaded to youtube is way way better quality than what I get playing it back (that looks more like 360p/240p), must be the mkv format or something, the video file itself looks like 720p downsized to 480p to me, I assumed after uploading it just was something that had to wait, but now a couple days it's no different and looks garbage in the big player on youtube (okayish in the embed here)

also rewatching this, god I love the sound design of this game, every single thing is so distinct

I originally decided to start recording because the other night I dropped deliberately a titan on two titans and a dude on the ground and was like damn, should have been recording that :lawd

Every piece of tf2 dlc is cosmetic, the prime titans are really cool and get new finisher animations but it's 100% cosmetic. I woulda got them but they're never on sale on origin  :'(

between buying both titanfalls multiple times and now apex legends battlepasses I've supported Respawn enough though
[close]

as far as tips at first just focus on staying alive, learning the maps and working on your movement. Unless you're on crash, start thinking about how walls connect. How you can reach from one wall to another that kinda thing. The CAR smg is the first smg and it's also one of the best guns in the game.

Also you should be bunny hopping and slide hopping

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNvVpoHpPZ0


also keep in mind ADS isn't mandatory in this game. Hipfire is just as accurate.
Title: Re: Titanfall 2
Post by: benjipwns on June 25, 2020, 12:35:22 PM
I equip, I think it's, the HCOG Ranger on almost every gun except the ones that don't have it because of that, the zoom of the entire playfield is much more useful for going after people far away than just a zoomed spot in the center with the rest of your view compromised. As long as you can get the ironsight onto the dude the range is irrelevant.

I even do this on the sniper rifles that aren't the Kraber.

KEEP MOVING! AND GO DIAGONALLY! I know I spam it a lot but it really is the most helpful single tip in the game possibly, you really can move in every direction, so do it, and suddenly stop and go in other directions. Make loops on the maps going different directions. Use your abilities, especially the grapple if you're a fanatic for it like me, to be constantly changing your speed and location.

You can ignore when you get killed. After you watch enough killcams you'll realize that lucky shots happen constantly and the main thing you can control is your situational awareness and how you can affect others in the same way.

Sometimes a "feel" for the gun (or titan weapon) can be better than what it does statistically. It's because you aren't even thinking about it, it's just another extension of you.

DON'T FEAR TITANS! One "tip" I would apply though is equip Titan Hunter and get out the Thunderbolt and fire it in the direction of titans then run to cover and repeat, combined you can speed up your titan drops pretty quickly. Combined with auto-eject early on you'll get more chances to test out your titans without needing to worry about dying. (Yes, it "hurts" your team in Attrition but don't worry about that yet.) Once you're comfortable and no longer even afraid of titans you can easily play with the other loadouts.

KNOWING THE MAPS! This combines with the movements, as you learn them you can go places nobody else will go, you can take routes to escape and come back into the fight from new angles while everyone else is fighting in the main areas, etc. You can play the maps solo to futz around in and practice your movement if you want, but really you can just play matches and do this. The other night on Rise I spent most of the match running around on top of the map like an idiot firing down onto people because the match was so lopsided in our favor. I tried to see how long I could keep my wall runs going, etc. Even when I killed people they seemed to not even realize I was doing this for like five minutes straight. Because why? That's right. NOBODY LOOKS UP!

ABILITY! GRAPPLE! You start with the grapple and it's really ideal because it motivates you to start moving and get up high, some of the other kits are best for the "ground" level more often imo. I love the grapple so I'm biased and have stuck with it after toying with the others but it has full physics that you'd expect, you can fire it straight to pull yourself then hop into a fling, you can shoot it at an angle to halt your momentum then pull you in another direction, you can use it to speed yourself up then release to a sudden stop, etc. Do the other abilities have cool qualities? Yeah, but I still love the grapple. The grapple can grab people and titans both. Great way to get to yours as well.

Oh, and cloak only cloaks you to titans, pilots can still see you. I have totally been abusing noobs thinking they're cloaked this week.

Auto titan sucks, don't use it unless you HAVE TO (like to capture points or something), standing there like an idiot firing your weapon is better than auto-titan because you fire faster and more accurately and can use your abilities. Enhanced auto titan is not worth it, any quality PILOT, can take one down simply by getting above it.

AGH! I'M BEING RODEO'D! If you've got a smoke, pop it and CROUCH the titan. It will kill the dude before he grabs your battery. Another tip if you have no smoke, when they grab the battery, they jump off behind you in the same way always as there's only one animation set. With the quicker titans you can spin and melee them as payment. (Back towards a wall so they can't escape!)

KILL THE GRUNTS AND SPECTRES! It builds up your titan meter and helps your team win! But generally once you get in your titan, try to leave them alone if it's not Bounty Hunt. That way your teammates can kill them and build up their meters. (If your teammates are jerks and just deathmatch feel free to get the free points by killing the grunts and such while in your titan as you hunt the map.)

You can roughly aim where your titan drops. A titan drop will destroy another titan. The titan drop and shield will kill pilots and grunts and so on. Feel free to combine this information depending on the match type.

HAPPY HOUR! During this you get five free XP to level up faster. The default happy hour for The Advocate (ADV) is like 3AM eastern or something. The YUM! Brands group's happy hour is midnight eastern time BUT I will adjust it for anyone who'd like to have it set at a different time so they can do happy hours easier to level up. Feel free to join, it won't change anything but your happy hour time and your clan tag!

V is pilot melee by default. I say this because I've seen someone ask this almost every night so far.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI6ucB-r8_k

Start of second one reminds me, if you're trapped in a gravity star and you have the grapple, fire it out and it'll pull you out of it and the momentum plus a jump will get you away from it completely.
