I liked MFD in the original quite a bit, so looking forward to checking it out here.

New Live Fire maps will be nice. Clearly they're easier to do than full maps, and two just doesn't cut it for longevity. Hopefully another drop or two will feature LF maps in the more distant future. Between that and smart rotation into the featured playlist, I hope LF can stay alive indefinitely. Haters gon' hate.

100 Gens is silly. And even sillier adding it this late. I get there are some people that are into it but Gen 100 isn't going to happen for me. I absolutely hated when COD did a similar thing where I was stuck at max prestige and then they added like another ten levels that I never ended up getting even though I probably had amassed enough XP stuck at max before the patch.

If that new Titan is that upgrade core thing then hello new best Titan!

Relic is ok. Wouldn't have been my personal pick for next map to bring over.

An actual new full-sized map is finally coming. I'm curious to see how it differs from the vanilla TF2 maps.

No mention of Frontier Defense yet. Sad!

insufferable seriously

Indeed. Gamesager is the absolute worst. I'm glad to see everyone on the same page!

 

[JaMarco]

Relic?...
Everything else sounds good.

 

[firehawk12]

Wait, does that you mean you can hit Generation 100 or it takes 100 levels before you can regenerate?

Yeah if they mean Gen 100 vs the 10.50 we have now that may be a little much. It took me like 4 months to hit Gen 10

 

[JaMarco]

Please give us all that XP that went nowhere at G10.49.

Would be pretty infuriating if they didn't.

Yea, like to know this as well

What would be the point of doing the latter?

 

[Tokubetsu]

why could the new faction be?

 

[biteren]

i hope it has to do with Graves or Spyglass

 

[Tokubetsu]

my first guess was spyglass partly because i know there was a bit of a movement for him on reddit. Notice me, spyglass sempai!

 

[SwolBro]

Respawn, you guys going to address this

???????

Turning up FOV also means sun glare becomes even worse.

[17 Seconds]

i swear that swolbro only plays this game to search for little things to complain about

hey respawn i noticed that if you kill 7 pilots simultaneously, the kill noise gets slightly garbled. ARE YOU EVER GOING TO FIX THIS? this studio is full of amateurs, jesus christ

Really? it came from a reddit post from someone else https://www.reddit.com/r/titanfall/comments/610zx3/respawn_please_reduce_sun_glare_on_exo_and_kodai/

Being able to see clearly when you turn up your FOV isn't nitpicking.

I honestly haven't noticed the glare very much on PS4 at 90 FoV, but if it's like that on Xbox/PC then yeah I agree that could be a problem. That kind of physics/light effect can't be easy to fix I imagine, but I seem to remember somebody from Respawn acknowledging it on Reddit a while ago, so there might be some behind the scenes testing going on.

 

[Chris1]

Fuck me, I didn't even notice War Games remastered was being teased in one of the greyed out pictures of that news post until now

Woot, hopefully it's July's map

Address what? I don't have direct knowledge, but that looks less like "oh no my fov!" and more like "glare is scaled to the screen X axis, and here is a ridiculous 14:1 ratio screenshot".

It seems like an issue worth looking at, but a few steps down from DEFCON-???????ADDRESSTHISNOW.

Well, not only the FOV making it worse but the glare in general is pretty bad on some maps.

 

[Rayme]

Again; it doesn't look like it's an FoV thing, more a resolution ratio (14:1 in that case) thing. Scaled to screen width. Could be wrong though.

Whatever it is it's a problem.This is a huge drawback to increasing FOV.

70fov

110fov

And for the longest time i was wondering why the hell i couldn't see on some maps with 96fov. I couldn't even imagine going 110, would be completely pointless.

 

[Bornstellar]

why could the new faction be?

Better be spyglass.

 

[JaMarco]

Why do some people go 94/96 as opposed to just 90?

 

[grendelrt]

[SwolBro]

90 is still a standardish type of look. 96 starts to give you that wide fish eye.

now i keep it on 90. the glares are too much to deal with.

 

[grendelrt]

Got grouped in with Vaughny and his clan for my last game tonight. Was nice being on the other side of that steam roll for once. I have played against them a couple times, ended up best on my team side but we got rolled hard both times.

 

[VeeP]

Definitely looking forward to those new maps .

 

[AgentOtaku]

Better be spyglass.

my man

 

[SmartWaffles]

From a lore perspective Spyglass doesn't make a lot of sense as we fight the remnant fleet in BH which is supposed to be under his command. Graves could work as formal militia military commander (Sarah's SRS is special tactics unit). Or Hammond Industries? I'd love to see them.

 

[AgentOtaku]

True

Still think it's awesome how he's the embodiment of the IMC's network

ugh...

Goddammit Respawn, flesh out your lore more

 

[Bornstellar]

100 more krab kills to 5000. Gonna have to do something special for the last one.

90 degree ricochet kill or bust.

 

[Alx]

90 degree ricochet kill or bust.

Is the ricochet ability used/useful by the way ? I never tried it more than a few minutes, but it seems like any kill would mostly be random, "shoot through a window from outside and hope for the best".

Well there it is.

 

[Alx]

Well there it is.

Thanks. It's not too clear with the gif, but your target name appears on the wall when the ricochet will hit it ? In that case I can see it working, I will try next time.

No it is pure luck lol.

So whens the G2 nerf coming?...

 

[AgentOtaku]

and Anti-Titan weapon buffs

and SMGs buffs

 

[Triforce141]

I just found out that the spectator cam is messed up if you die while riding a titan

And hitting yourself with the explosion of your own Gravity Star can make a great speed boost if you time it right

 

[SwolBro]

I unplugged the box. Will see what it fetches for around the net/gamestop.

The game is simply not fun. With no decent competitive mode or challenging matchmaking pub stomping has gotten really old. I go straight at these guys with little care and still end up on top of the list every single game. When i die, it's always from a G2 or some ass behind an A-wall. I can't even engage in decent gunplay.

At least in Titanfall 1 CTF was filled with decent to really good players. It's not like that here. The amount of really good players has dwindled to nothing which has practically killed custom/tourny CTF games. Everyone seems like they want to play LTS instead. And i don't blame them. The way CTF plays at higher levels is downright atrocious.

There's no point. I'll look into buying the scorpio when it comes out, and if Destiny 2 looks good or not (or if by some magical happenstance this game goes through some serious changes)

 

[Donos]

Are the maps with the green fields(homested lol) and the industrial town new maps?
Like them both.

Damn, i forgot how easy accessible this game is. Was a bit worried jumping back in after a loong, slow Xcom2 pause but Respawn made it really easy to feel home although you have to use almost every button on the controller. Instantly hooked.

Oh, and gimme that Prime Tone nau !

These guys get my money for their next game.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

and if Destiny 2 looks good

I just can't see playing Destiny for the PVP. I mean, I'm sure some people do it but PVE seems like the star of the show by such a wide margin. We'll see about Destiny 2. At least Destiny fans mostly complain about the right stuff. There were so many stupid complaints about the original Titanfall that it's not surprising there were some changes for the worse in the sequel.

D2 seems like it could be anything from a complete disaster to (if they improve the PVE, nail the PVP, have cross-play, give you 60fps (and maybe more via FreeSync on Scorpio) and let you do your characters cross-platform) an all-time time-sink for me.

 

[constantstatic]

and Anti-Titan weapon buffs

and SMGs buffs

SMG buffs what are you smoking? The volt could use a buff since they made it useless on consoles but that's about it. The Car, alternator, r97 are 3 of the best guns in the game.


So has the frame rate always been terrible on Xbox one when playing attrition ? I was using 90 fov and the games gets really choppy at times. Coming from PS4 pro it feels almost broken by comparison.

I left the Xbox version when I got a PS4 pro and play on 100 fov with buttery smooth framerate on that.I got gold again to play black ops 2 bc and some Titanfall 2 and man the framerate on Xbox one is bad at higher fovs.

I had to play pvp and nitro capture the flag for a smooth experience on Xbox one.

 

[SwolBro]

Laughable. ARs dominate console play.

Reducing your FOV will improve your frame rate.

 

[constantstatic]

Which is only due to the rediculous aim assist on the ARs. Yeah the g2 needs nerfed but I dont see how buffing the SMGs will help the balance they already kill super fast.

Oh i totally agree. The SMGs don't need buffs. The ARs are simply too good on console though but i don't see how Respawn is going to fix it, they probably won't. Apparently they are 'happy' with how the game plays, astonishingly enough.

There's too much wrong with the core gameplay to salvage it at this point. I thought by introducing better maps a lot of the issues would go away but that was naive.
The mix between pilot and titan combat is awful. The gunplay between pilots is too fast. The movement takes a back seat to twitch reaction behind headglitches.
It's like Respawn did everything in their power NOT to allow you to move. It's the most bizarre shit i've ever seen a developer do outside of Epic crapping all over Gears of War after the massive success of the first game.

Where is the fucking logic in making a game with high speed parkour, air strafing, and sliding and then doing everything imaginable to prevent you from playing that way.

Is it not comical?????

Reducing your FOV will improve your frame rate.

Part of the reason i'm done with the game is this. I love the higher FOV but the frame rate drops on x1 make it almost unplayable above 90. I'll put the game down until i get a scorpio which should run it smooth as butter at 110 with 60fps.

so how active is the pc version currently? i have it on ps4 but now that i have a new gpu the pc ver is calling to me, but i dont want to spend $40 to find a mostly dead game populated by a handful of tf2 gods

Around 1200 to 1800 on average when I play.

You can find a match in almost every mode without having to wait over a minute.

Yup , matches are quick to find, I have seen it as high as 3K during the day. Usually around 1500-1800 when I play at night.
