Nerfs don't bother me. I use all sorts of SMGs, Assault Rifles, and Mastiff and regularly finish in top 3. Gun buffs/nerfs are just part of the equation.
Map familiarity, positioning, and strategy will always trump the bare weapon stats.

I wonder if you just have a low bar for what's enjoyable. Does this update make the game noticeably less fun for you? Because from the sounds of it (just downloading the update for Xbox now) it's gunna be lit
(PS4 peeps, I'll get the update done but I'm not sure if I can be there for FD.)

He just wants Respawn to accept and implement his "standard" of "MW2! MW2! MW2!" Nope don't listen the the community at large who were asking for these changes, instead make it more like he wants.
Really makes you think

And you have been on the opposite side whining , talk about a kettle black situation.
Hope the update goes live soon, super hyped to try out FD and the new changes, I think these are some the best changes they have put in so far.
I'll give it some time to solidify my opinion, but so far I'm soured.
"community at large" I've enjoyed Tf1 since the beta and enjoyed TF2 since launch. Both were great. From my experience, some of the community just complains a lot instead of just playing. Not sure if the majority would want their stuff nerfed?
You want your own vision for this game and didn't stop posting until you got it. Most other people were silently enjoying themselves. It started with Tone and didn't stop.
Indeed. If I knew that this was going to happen, I would have been posting a lot more. Seems like Respawn only saw the people that weren't happy because these are some SERIOUS nerfs.
I dont think anyone has released the numbers on the gun nerfs yet, so I wouldnt get too upset about it until we know more. I have a feeling SMGs will still be very viable mid short range and suck long range. If you are moving quickly it will be probably less of an issue.

Do you not understand my comment was in response to his posts in the previous page that was not so subtly directed at me and others who share the same views? lol
Respawn won't change things solely based on a handful people complaining in a NeoGAF thread. These changes were made because of the feedback given from the community that is still playing. If people want to point fingers to feel better so be it.
And to make it perfectly clear, Im not satisfied with these changes. So no, I havent stopped complaining because they made a half step. I'll continue to post my issues. Whether those issues are fixed is another thing entirely.

Thread is as positive as ever, I see.
Dude you have been pushing for what you want as well, just saying its what the community wants, but I don't think the community as a whole wants a mode that was tested for a couple of weeks to completely overwrite the structure of the game in one fell swoop like you keep saying. The way Respawn is slowly changing things (some from the high time to kill mode) that they think will make it a better game is the correct approach. Drastic changes either way are asking for trouble.
lol yeah thats what I was trying to say. This thread is always so doom and gloom ahaha

$4.99 each or $24.99 for the bundles
Cant help but feel they're taking advantage here
Previous titan warpaints were 3.99, which also inlcuded nose arts, why the price increase for just the warpaints? The boost? They're aware people will pay for it?
Seems like it to me.

Does any of the XP gained from FD carry over into MP? Or is it a totally separate progression?

It carries over, progression is earned for both.

It feels so good to play Frontier Defense again. Going to sleep, the grind starts tomorrow.

People have issues finding frontier defense games on PS4? I'm still sitting at work, but want to know if there's population issues.
Everyone and their gamer grandma is playing FD right now (which also has Rise) and trying that first, so you'll probably see extra waits in the other modes until people have played a few rounds.
FD vs MP numbers are pretty lopsided right now. Everyone jumping in to check out that new hotness. There are more people playing FD right now than we had total players online a week ago. PC players coming back in droves...

I'm not seeing any significant changes with CAR after one match. Feels mostly the same. The melee is noticeably slower tho

My god Titan rank (not aegis rank) are gonna level up so fast on FD. Easy to level up seldom used guns too. Played two matches and had fun.

Man... Fuck. I'm back in. I'm back in so god damned hard. Frontier Defense is probably one of the most intense horde mode style games I've played in a while. I love that each wave on each map is completely unique. And holy shit does this mode allow you to rank up fast.

How do you equip the frontier defense titan skins? I just bought the game yesterday I tried searching but I couldn't find anything about it.

Difficulty also seems to change some enemy types / behaviors. Mortar specters throw out a particle wall on hard, stalkers carry EPGs, etc.

FD seems a-okay
I'd imagine the higher difficulties get hairy. There were a couple moments where the Arc Ronin caught me off guard, but I persevered

Impressions:
So I made Aegis Rank 5 with Ronin. All in all, there are many things different from Titanfall 1's FD but that doesn't mean it is worse.
I think the best thing is that this mode makes Titanfall 2's MP changes finally make sense. Battery, Titan classes, their abilities. It comes out brilliantly and I enjoy it a ton.
A minor thing about the maps is that I feel like it takes a while to get going in the first few waves, but I have only played on Regular thus far.
Complaints:
- Aegis Rank levelling really should have had some sort of progress bar or something in the game. I imagine this was difficult to do, but showing the unlocks at the bottom but no way to track EXP removes some of the addictiveness that it otherwise could have had. It took a while to figure it all out and I'd imagine many people don't realise that they are levelling or what causes it to happen.
- Nuke Ejection is just as useful as it was in the original but obviously, no Titan Meter when doing so. I can understand for balance reasons, but it feels a bit empty if there's literally zero rewards for killing with it. I had to turn on Medals just to get some feedback. I would suggest giving some Titan Meter, not a lot, but some.

You just forced me to brag that I was MVP every game we played
(but yeah I died a crap ton lol. Those Auto Titans don't fuck about)
Really enjoying FD, like most other mosdes I have a lot more fun with it when people are on comms.
Also highest kill steal count, and I think you set a record for the number of titans lost to nuke ejects XP
