Titanfall Beta (PC/Xbone) Impressions (No Key Begging/Trading or I will ban you!)

Off-topic, but seeing boob armour is pretty silly in a more grounded, outfit-wise, game like this :P I think there's a more blatant one for another class.

Here's why boob armour is so completely impractical (educational and funny video)

Antitrop can probably back me up on this, you want everything to be squished and it'll look no different from male armour.

The thing I like to do is watch the movement/animation of a player. How they are running, if they are using jetpacks and whatnot.

That is how I usually pin players down, pretty easy to tell apart once you get used to it.

This is the main reason I'm enjoying this. Brink had parkour for a MP game, but because of the jumping around, I feel much more capable since I'm not so good at shooting being a noob at MP games.

I just wish there were Tenchu style death from aboves when you get the drop on someone.

Not being able to drop a Titan onto an enemy is such a missed opportunity.

Yeah, Brink had a lot of potential but all of the issues just killed it before it had much of a chance. You can get some cool stuff to happen like dropping behind somebody and snapping their neck, but yeah, that'd be neat too. Though I guess in an MP enviroment it would essentially lock the opposing player in place when you trigger it which wouldn't be ideal.

You can drop titans on things, or do you mean some kind of jump to squash? The titanfall rips through other titans if it gets lined up right.
 
I highly recommend the PC version as it not only looks better but plays better from what I have seen and experienced. My only complaint is the game feels to much like CoD at some points and I hate that fucking game. Other than that it is hella fun.
 
The game doesnt look like next gen (PC here)
i didnt like the way we search for play.
Maybe this game is not for me, the only mode i really enjoyed was Last Titan
 
I love hopping on mechs and fucking them up. I also love when my mech explodes and I eject into the air. I don't know why it's so satisfying.

This is what I try doing but a lot of the time they're hiding on roofs or it gets too hectic for me to pay attention to detail.
 
So would you say it's worth picking an Xbox One up for? Would you say xbox one is running on high, medium, low settings? For those who have played both.
 
There's nothing more fun than rodeo an enemy Titan and shoot the hell out of it, the other pilot not giving a fuck.

Xbox One just for it? Nah. But if you also want Forza, DR3, and know there are other games coming down the pipe: Maybe.

Forza interests me, but having spent loads on a PS4 and games at back end of last year I'm kinda torn, it would be a lot for that, two games and gold.. Would you say Titanfall is running with high, medium res or whatever it's called (apologies, not much of a PC gamer)
 
I hate to say it, I suck so bad at this game. It's been over 10 years since I got serious with multiplayer FPS and it shows.

Even though I am horrendous at this game I can't stop playing it. It's a great experience.
 
I love the little scripted moments with ai, running into a building and seeing a wounded soldier being dragged just ads to the atmosphere.

I hope they add more of these over time so your constantly being suprised.
 
wow just like other modern fps multiplayer games i seem to suck :(

one way i've learned to get some cheap points at least is to get the auto gun and clean up on grunts.
 
Has anybody had the issue of a black menu screen? You can still hear the sound when you mouse over things but I can't see what I'm typing. Just happened all of a sudden.

Edit: Figured it out, it was my amBX lights. I just disabled them and the problem has gone.
 
>Disembark Titan > turn on auto pilot > rush in for the enemy titan > rodeo > rodeo kill > jump back into Titan

SO MUCH HYPE
 
Just used a Stryder. That was really cool, the extra speed makes a huge difference in your mobility. Its a completely different playstyle. I know what my main titan is going to be.

I was playing around with it earlier, I don't really get why there's a gun that takes away any need too actually aim.

It may not be that powerful, it just feels really cheap if that makes sense.

It's there for bad players. It's like th sawed off in gears and armor lock/the assault rifle in halo.
 
I've been trying to sell a second Xbox One that I have (won it from a sweepstakes) for about a week now. On Thursday and Friday when people started to get into the beta I started receiving tons of emails. Coincidence?
I think not.

Shoot both of them! Pretty simple. Both are enemies, both benefit you when you kill them so why not shoot them when you see them?
 
I suppose accommodating new people isn't necessarily a bad thing, I was just playing a game though where the entire enemy team was using it in combination with cloaks.

Didn't like how they could kill me just by looking in my general vicinity.

Cloak is more effective against titans. It's pretty noticeable to other pilots.

The time to lock makes it a bit harder than that. But corner camping asshats with it will be annoying
