My fear is its gonna be similar to the Boltshot or armor lock.
In the grand scheme of things, its not gonna make you an OP one man killing army.
But its fucking ANNOYING to get killed by it.

Yes
Primary Weapon
Anti-Titan Weapon
Sidearm
Tactical Ability: Cloak, Stim (temp speed boost)
Ordnance: Frag, Electric grenade
Tier 1 kit: +Wallrun, +Grenade Cap, +Tac Recharge
Tier 2 kit: +Titan spawn shield, Show NPC on map, +Titan Speed
Auto aim pistol + active camo =
Smart Pistol is definitely an interesting weapon, but to say it ruins anything, is being naive.
It would assuredly be alot easier to just shoot and kill someone with literally any other weapon in the game, in the amount of time it takes to get a full PVP lock on
The Cloak is easily visible on foot, I find myself being killed while Cloaked often, and picking off players who are cloaked often also.
Cloak is really designed for Player vs Titan, because from the higher perspective in a Titan, the cloaking is more difficult to pick up
My first set of Burn Cards
Decisive Action: 40 seconds off Build Time or Titan Core Charge
Prosthetic Legs: Faster Pilot Movement Speed
Amped MAG Launcher: Replace Anti-Titan Weapon with a high-capacity, automatic Mag launcher
btw, the NPC's are pretty cool, I like it, they keep you on your toes
my first full game
Pilot kills: 9
NPC kills: 29
Assists: 6
Deaths: 0‏
yes, Smart Pistol wipes out NPC's, but they are super weak anyways, I estimate it takes 5 Mississippi's to lock on in PVP, easily above the TTK with any regular weapon
I know you dont wanna hear it, but Im gunna disagree with you
The preset loadout with the smart pistol even has the Enhanced Targeting, and a Surpressor, which in order to equip those in a custom loadout requires 100 kills with the weapon, and thats what I am basing my Mississippi's on, so Id imagine a non-upgraded base version is even more inferior

And that's why I'll just be sticking to Last Titan Standing

yeah its a bit of an odd balance, but to be fair I was the only above average player on my team, there were alot of kills to be had
Im only playing 3-Plot btw, havent tried the other modes yet
I guess I'll mess around with it more tomorrow but in the handful of matches I played earlier, I did quite well with the smart pistol and camo combined with some strafing/hopping. Running in groups of AI to distract other pilots made it even easier. I don't feel a need for rifles as it's so easy to close gaps.
"The basic design for a weapon needs to be fun to shoot, and fun to be shot at." - Francois Boucher-Genesse, Halo 3 - Anatomy of a Game: Design
Is there anything you guys are noticing that could be a problem when the public gets a hold of it. Very hard to pick out potential problems with beta or testing, different when 8 million have the game and certain "problems" start.
I'd really love if HaloGAF folks, especially guys who've been playing Ghosts or Battlefield 4 could share their thoughts or videos, and whether they actually enjoy TitanFall.
Thanks for the thoughts Nilla, keep us posted.

I actually heard there will be no way to set up private matches at launch
Game doesn't seem like it will have a good competetive scene.
This.
This is why no matter how minimal of an impact things like Armor Lock, Boltshot, or the Smart Pistol make on the game, its still a bad thing.

I just tested out the Burn Card for the special Anti-Titan weapon
Although it definitely feels cooler to use, Im not sure there was a different in damage output, just a difference in clip size, but it was pretty neat regardless
Ive been playing BF4, I would say the TTK is fairly similar, the movement is obviously such a game changer.
There doesnt appear to be an incredibly high ceiling to max out any of the weapon specific upgrades (better scopes, etc) but there are only 3 max on any weapon as of right now.
I dont believe any of my deaths have been undeserved, mostly with my back turned, or getting into something I shouldnt have, so theres that.
It doesnt appear that any individual player has just been inherently more powerful than myself
I agree, Im mostly a loner, but I do feel empowered to jump in the middle of the map and try to pick some people off.
I am always a cautious player, in Halo I like to play a supporting role and be smart with my encounters, I am able to do that in this game also so far, but at the same time be alot more mobile and cover more ground than in Halo by a far margin.
Im not certain I would not call this a "twitch shooter" like COD, like I said, the PVP kill times rub right against, and sometimes beyond that of BF4, so thats been a nice surprise

Just received a TF beta code. I'll jump on it in tonight in about 5 hours time. I'll capture or stream some and link it here. Oh Valentine's day how you toy with my priorities
Sorry to the wife...
So here, enjoy your retooled assault rifle!

They said the reason it is just called Halo xbox one is because they hadn't figured out a name for it. But if it was H2A then they could have just said that instead of showed the teaser during E3 , don't know why wait so long for to announce H2A.
I wish they would say the rumor is true or not.
That article is a few weeks old.

Now steve is backtracking. Credit to a friend that shared this earlier.
Edit: Damage Control??
Does he even know what Waypoint is? Microsoft must've gotten to him regardless lol
Thing is, it's 10 year anniversary this year, sort of like it was 10 years for Halo CEA. Plus, much easier to remake say an original Xbox game, as opposed to an Xbox 360 game. Plus, it's not so much the campaign people are excited for, as opposed to the belief that it might have the actual multiplayer, along with the classic maps many of us spent so much time playing on.

I can't believe Microaoft is considering a Kinectless Xbox One for $400... Wow they completely ruined the entire system, it's ecosystem, it's support, and everything special about it by doing this.

No seriously without the Kinect all you have is a massive monolith that is the same price as a PS4, but is weaker. It's just a weaker, awful PS4
with better games
But it's that with a Kinect too.
Neutral flag sucks.
Just sniped maybe four different people trying to camp with the flag - in what I can only assume was an attempt to try and draw the match as my team were up by one. Luckily they were all bad so we got the flag back eventually.
I want neutral bomb back. Now that was fun.

Developers won't support the thing if it doesn't have a 100% attachment rate.
And with Kinect, you have the same thing, but you just spent $100 more for something you may never really use. If they offered this damn kinectless SKU in November for $399, I'd have bought the system most likely. Why do I really want/need Kinect? I have a tablet/smartphone for Skype, and basically all else. I have cable television service. I'm never going to browse the internet on my Xbox One or allow Microsoft to data mine my information. So what do I get out of my $100 extra? The ability to say "Xbox One on"?

Friend of mine says the kinect finds it much useful. But didn't specify on how. I could care less about the device. And it's smart for them to do it and make $$$ anyhow if they want more people to buy their consoles. If it's true they're considering on doing it soon than I'll buy it a little before H2A comes out.

More like what do developers think about the kinect as a consumer and what do they think as a developer is my interest in actually considering in buying it b'cuz I wasn't honestly impressed with the first one.Developers won't support the thing if it doesn't have a 100% attachment rate.
This is how I feel looking at this thread 95% of the time.

Good. Because it sucks, and it always will.
The first one isn't great, I really don't care about using the second one. Why should I pay more for something I'm not going to use, if one without kinect is coming out?
There's two belfry gargoyles that will not die in dark souls. But still I got past the boar...
Can I turn the ps4 on with a headset? I use it all the tine on the ONE,would love if the PS4 has it also

No but due to how their standby mode works I imagine it would not be hard to add at all. Sure if enough people ask for it they will add it.
Still very impressed by the recognition software.

Lovely.
Remember that time our team mate got upset in Halo 3 because we WERE CALLING OUT THE ENEMY POSITIONS?
W. T. F.
Unrelated, but your Veni Vidi Vici part 2 montage with Jay Z's U Don't Know playing in the background is just hype inducing.
Don't make crush you with my wallet? Such a great insult. Who gets salty over loosing a game, that has no consequences for your life?

WTF indeed, we stumbled upon some very interesting characters on those sessions haha.
Don't show Juices the editing!
Or the clips
The real magic starts at 2.15. That's when my fledgling windows movie maker skills really kicked into gear.

I actually agree with Speedy, I think that the Kinect is an integral part of the system. I think that MS should've waited till XBO to implement the Kinect though, because people have it in their mind that it's just an addon to the system.
Do most Xbone games even use Kinect, in meaningful way that does not detract from the game-experience? I reckon not, and if so, what's the point of the goddamn device? Kinect-only games?
EDIT actually, the fuck am i talking about? Kinect does automatically detract from the experience, either i have to speak (distracting, no matter whether to Kinect or voice chat), or move (also distracting, i'm the type who doesn't move while playing, some people are very... active even while playing).

Well cboat says yes, so it's not likely.
I think they'll stick with with it, and fix it, and cut price. Their Kinect stuff cleary wasn't ready for launch.
And now I miss Halo 3
on LAN
that was fucking hilarious
