I'm loving it so far. I played for a few hours last night, had a huge smile on my face the whole time.

For those asking, you hit "X" to land on other titans after ejecting/running up to them or whatever. One thing that bothers me is if you are in a party with a friend it doesn't show them any differently on the map/HUD. Can be kinda tough to keep together once the battle heats up.

Most memorable moment: I got killed right after I spawned my Titan, and I rushed back to it with stims as quickly as I could. I got there to see my AI titan fighting against an enemy titan, and it was pretty low HP. I jump off a building onto my titan, which triggers some badass animation where I open the top hatch and slide into my seat from above. I get in and see my titan at like...10% hp or so. The enemy titan must not have expected the pilot to get back because he stood there reloading, then I dash forward and punch him in the mouth which puts his titan into danger state, followed by ripping the pilot out and throwing him across the map. Ended up riding that mostly-dead mech all the way to the end of the round.

I fully understand looks and gfx of PC versions, but things like this are what makes "Xbox, record that" so good.
 
I cant play right now because theres a few people in each game type but not enough to start a game.

I wish there was a system where we could all connect to one server. God imagine if games had such a thing (and it came out decades ago).

you can change server region in options... go work out which region is awake and playing :)

In regards to the pre-match timer.. I'd lower it to 60 seconds and have a Ready Up option available. So if you know you're good you can hit that at the top of the menu and if all players do the countdown goes straight to 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

i dont really understand why a ready up option isnt standard on top of a time limit.
if someone can explain, i would appreciate it as well as learn something.

It seems to be waiting for full teams and giving players the chance to absorb all their new unlocks and stuff. Time for players to look at new unlocks and burncards, as well and check out the loadout options.

I tried the "record that" command to make sur it worked, but I noticed the video quality wasn't great, with a lot of artifacts. Probably because there is too much motion in the scene.
Anyway, how do you rip pilots off their titan ?

but you can do this by simply not readying up and letting the timer run.
 
Starting to feel the game just isn't for me... a K (Pilot:Titan):D ratio on the last game was a woeful 1:2:14 :-/

Watching the replays of how I get killed I pretty much walk out of a building (or a roof or whatever) and get instakilled. I just can't aim that quickly or accurately, this is just an exercise in frustration.

edit: Previous round was better, but still had the highest number of deaths on my team , something like 7:3:10.

So, fucking finally got a PC code and got to rank 11.

My thoughts are this game is so much fucking fun, jesus I never thought I'd be enjoying it so much.

Everything about it is amazing and I've lost count of those "holy shit that just happened" moments and the gameplay, man, Respawn nailed it. I love how you haul ass like a mother fucker too.

Really like the approach of basically going all in, as in, you really need to get involved in the match to get a high score.

Someone take this X One code:
9J6XK-HP363-XM6QD-X4XKJ-HDC6Z

Wanted the Pc code but do not know why EA sent the X1

I don't see the point of an auto-aim pistol. It's too good at this point.

The devs said in a video that it was a weapon designed for the people who were annoyed when they got the drop on someone and still lost the gun fight. Zampella said that they want a weapon old men like him can use or something.

Use code tag so only a GAF member gets it.
Don't have an X1 myself.

Impressions sounds good, guess I'll grab the PC version when available.

stealth edit; code and not spoiler tags. my bad.
 
Just got my code, now all I have to do is make it through work. Damn, its gonna be a long day. Can't wait to get home and play it!
 
This is so great. Its just a blast to play. A couple problems IMO. They need a mode with no grunts. If you go after the grunts its make you a target for pilots. I hate that I go after those guys and someone is waiting to pounce on me. Also, the smart pistol is just a stupid weapon. Whenever someone sneaks up on me and I see their kill cam with that thing its a little infuriating. Its just not a competitive weapon. Big ass reticle and you just wait to fire. Pilots and titans are balanced well if you know how to pilot around the maps well. Sniper is difficult with the first scope which is fine. Unless they have some massive wide open maps coming the aod is way more useful. I wish the pilots had a bit more heath. You die before you have a chance to skill your way out of it. I guess that just the COD formula to player health. Its fast and epic. MS would be smart to pay whatever it takes to bag up this game. Its that good. It could move a serious numbers of XB1s.
 
My buddy recorded a clip where his titan and the enemy titan ejected simultaneously and he flew towards the enemy pilot and kicked him in the face far above the field of battle. It looked like some DBZ shit.

Stupid question- do I have to play this with other people, or can I just fuck around with bots? I'm terrible at FPS games.

Man 1-1 fight with a Titan while everyone else was on the other side of the map. Thought I was going to lose then I got the message to activate extra damage and then I killed him. So awesome. ;d

Seems when you want to jump on a Titan you don't need to push any buttons. Just try and land on top and it will automatically drag you onto it. I'll have some videos in a bit.
 
I dunno its good fun and all but the bots bug the hell out of me, you think your doing so good in the game then at the end u see you only got like 5 players killed and 30 bots, I don't have the same satisfaction at the end realizing I technically only killed 5 good players as the bots practically never kill you. I dunno how to explain it properly other than if everyone in the game were players instead of bots it would be pretty epic but as it stands now I dunno if I will buy it....playin on PC btw
