i feel naked without the vortex shield
is the smoke even useful against other titans?

Yup. Smoke loses their lock and it damages them too. When people shield I double dash up, punch + smoke so they have to back off.

 

[GavinGT]

I think it drains shields.

Also useful for getting away I imagine.

 

[The Cowboy]

Are any of the story elements in the beta?

and how are the AI soldiers? Worthless?

Think LOL/DOTA creeps, they're pretty much on a set path and only used to reduce your titan timer (killing them grants time bonuses).

 

[sangreal]

I am terrible at this game, but it is a lot of fun. Thank god for the AI fodder making me feel like I can kill something

 

[antitrop]

I guess I'm not really sure why people are so caught up in whether they're killing actual players or AIs. If it's there and it's strategically viable to shoot, shoot it.

I've already gotten into a zen state with the game where I am just a reaper of death moving about the map, and only when looking at the scoreboard at the end do I realize how much or little PvP interaction I was getting in the match.

 

[Hazaro]

Specters will light up titans with rockets, other than that they are point.titan fuel

 

[GavinGT]

I can't see myself using anything other than suppressor. Anyone disagree?

Also, someone earlier in the thread mentioned a perk that improves the jetpack. Was that accurate?

 

[Hip Hop]

I make them stay inside with me in the smoke.

I literally can't use anything else on my Titan but the smoke, it is so good. Also really helps when they Rodeo your Titan. A kill is almost guaranteed with the smoke.

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Been playing for the last hour. SO much fucking fun holy shit. Haven't had this much fun with an FPS since BC2.

 

[GavinUK86]

how do you get the guy off you when you get rodeo'd?

Get out and shoot him. Or use an ability when you're high enough level to use it.

 

[golem]

Starting to get used to the traversal... watch out land walkers!

Also isn't there a burn card that disguises you as a spectre?

 

[Hip Hop]

I don't really find it useful, as the game isn't geared towards stealth. I find the extended mags a bit more useful for brute force.

 

[The Cowboy]

And - my pads batteries are dead, and I have no more , I really should have put my charger on sooner.

 

[Sanic]

I wish grunts were visually distinctive from pilots. I guess Theres something to be said for "shoot everything", but I'd like to be a little more discrete than that.

 

[Bunta]

Also isn't there a burn card that disguises you as a spectre?

Yep.

 

[derFeef]

No USB cable?

 

[Deadbeat]

One of the best supported games for a controller. Using a 360 controller and get MVP every match.

It's perfect. If you know how to play, you will definitely have a fair shot. The controller is no problem here.

I hate it when games have controller support but no aim assist (Black Ops 2, Battlefield).

I'm not surprised as I've been encountering so many bad players. I've let my dad try it out as he usually plays shooters like wolf et and while he does bad in those, he's near the top in this game. So the player base is highly suspect.

 

[Hip Hop]

It really is a blast. The only thing holding me back now is how Infinity Ward handles support. Not a guarantee that they will keep the hackers away which they always seem to attract a lot.

 

[Ellite25]

Best settings for a quad core i5 and a 560ti to keep it around 50-60 fps?

 

[GavinGT]

I enjoy playing it like it's Assassin's Creed multiplayer and trying to blend in with packs of grunts.

Extended mag bro

 

[Lunzio]

Can't say how long the novelty will last, but you can't deny these fun times. Starting to get the hang of traversal - knowing how to rodeo is pretty clutch when not many people understand how to deal with it yet.

 

[Daingurse]

Saw some dude running around like that, looked badass.

This

I have seen enemies use this to their advantage. It has worked for me too.

 

[The Cowboy]

No USB cable?

Nope, my PC is in another room (a small storage/computer room) and its hooked up to my living room TV with a 15m cable through the walls vent system - I have a full wireless setup for my KB/trackPad/360 pad.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

I was freaking rubber banding in the tutorial.
The mp was fine, but didn't seem very varied.

 

[antitrop]

On the same note, I find it to be nearly a free kill when someone rodeos my Titan, since they almost never jump off when I exit my Titan and I can pick them off easily.

 

[Citizen Mane]

Is anyone else still having server issues? It usually puts me into a game then disconnects from the server when picking a class. US West btw.

 

[Ellite25]

.

Hmm I'm at 2x MSAA, v-sync disabled, texture res high, text filtering anisotropic 8x, lighting high, shadow medium, effects medium, model detail medium, impact marks low, and ragdolls medium and I'm getting drops consistently into the 30s, sometimes high 20s.

 

[Mechazawa]

The verticality in this is so good.

 

[malfcn]

Lit someone up with shots and they kill me with a bullet. The story of my fps life.

 

[Toki767]

After playing my first game, I genuinely don't see why this was so hyped. It's a fun game for what it is. It just feels like it leaves a lot to be desired. I'm sure Titanfall 2 will probably be a much better game.

 

[Papercuts]

Real talk: Shotgun on Angel City is the most fun you can have. I have a loadout with stim, the increased parkour and just go NUTS. Constantly wallrunning, jumping all over the city until I see another pilot, dropping to let off a shot and just bouncing back up. I've been getting really good score with this class too.

 

[sjagolinzer]

Im getting 50-60 with a Q6600 and a 560ti

Im not running AA since that category is kinmda blocked out.

 

[IcyEyes]

nvm.

I think it's the best MP FPS since CoD4. Easily.

Regardless is still a beta. I'm impressed. But no SP sucks :l

Yeah my only issue with the game is performance. I just can't find a happy medium. Trying to find that steady 60fps sweet spot but just can't.

What...so yeah judge the whole game after 1 match..

This game is a sequel/spiritual successor to MW1 in terms of MP in every single way.

 

[antitrop]

I think it's the best MP FPS since CoD4. Easily.

Since MW2, yes, easily. I enjoyed 4 and MW2's MP about the same.

 

[derFeef]

Oh you are playing the PC beta with pad, I thought the One version

 

[Toki767]

What...so yeah judge the whole game after 1 match..

I'm going to play more, but is it going to get any more rewarding one hit killing AI drones while trying to find real people?

 

[Hip Hop]

I think it's the best MP FPS since CoD4. Easily.

Yeah, me too.

it's also so refreshing for an FPS online game.

 

[Nokterian]

Minimap? You have it in the top left corner grunts are smaller icons then players.

 

[antitrop]

I'm going to play more, but is it going to get any more rewarding one hit killing AI drones while trying to find real people?

I don't understand how you have to "try" to find real people. You make it sound like it's 2v2, the maps aren't that big.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I am genuinely surprised at how fucking terrible I am at this game. It quickly reminded me that I could never keep up in Call of Duty, and this is just that. And being in the Titans is boring as hell.

 

[Sanic]

I'm going to play more, but is it going to get any more rewarding one hit killing AI drones while trying to find real people?

No, it doesn't.

You can get better at figuring out who is a player or not based on location/movements/ever ever so slight visual differences, but yeah.

I don't understand how you have to "try" to find real people. You make it sound like it's 2v2, the maps aren't that big.

I've struggled to find people in, say, attrition when you aren't generally funneled into specific locations.

 

[golem]

Do you also often fight with other titans, who seem to forget, that they have a melee attack?

Haha yeah, Titanpunch!

 

[antitrop]

I've struggled to find people in, say, attrition when you aren't generally funneled into specific locations.

I guess I also don't necessarily understand the specific need to systematically locate player-controlled opponents exclusively.

I just move around the map as I see fit, killing whatever gets in my way.
