On the bright side Siege is the best multiplayer shooter of all time. But it's not very casual or forgiving. And it's best played with a regular group.

I'm afraid of that. I don't have a regular group and I'm usually more of a lone wolf player (not that I don't know how to play with a team).


My biggest problem with this game is I'm afraid this will die as soon as Respawn focus on their next project. But if I don't get it now I'll probably get it another time.

 

[grendelrt]

Are you sure about this? I died a bunch but my K/D stayed at 2.5 before and after my PS4 session.

Maybe it only affects last 10 games.

It shows on my graphs at all 0s

Sure but does it actually change the stat?

Well. Titanfall 2 is a pretty good package overall. And can be had for pretty cheap. It's not like you're going to fail to find an Attrition lobby in the next couple of years. Siege is only growing in player count it seems. And a sequel isn't coming for a while, I think someone reported that Ghost Recon Wildlands is set to get a sequel before Siege. And despite some uhh.. missteps... Siege is still getting fresh content till the end of the year. And I would be shocked if they didn't announce a third year of support.

Titanfall 2 has had a nice run of content and there are still a few data-mined things that are probably coming but surely the remaining continuing support will be measured in months not years.

I can see Siege running for another year - maximum 2 years. But Titanfall 2 dies this year in terms of support. Looks like a great twitch shooter nonetheless.

Not sure because i have regular games mixed in, if someone has played 10 fd matches in a row they would be able to tell if it says the stat for the 10 games is 0 or somethiing.

 

[the_big_country]

Playing Frontier Defense makes the "last 10 games" graph look terrible for your k/d against pilots, but shouldn't meaningfully change that stat. It definitely changes k/d against pilots and AI though, as that number shot up for me after playing FD last night.

 

[Izuna]

Paid to play Campaign again

This is the best shit ever

god I fucking LOVE this campaign <3

 

[Data West]

I want to get the Aegis leveled up for Scorch but also Ronin and Legion.

I reiterate my point from months ago, I wish I loved playing pilots as much as I did the titans.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Aim assist changes are laughable. It still snaps to target and pulls.

TTK is largely the same but Im seeing more people with the Spitfire lol

 

[Data West]

Playing Ronin on Frontier Defense in the higher waves is basically like playing a character action game.

 

[OdysseusVA]

No one was playing Insane when I tried about an hour ago

 

[grendelrt]

Playing Ronin on Frontier Defense in the higher waves is basically like playing a character action game.

I havent tried Ronin yet, all i could think was, damn he wouldnt last long at all lol

 

[Triforce141]

I havent tried Ronin yet, all i could think was, damn he wouldnt last long at all lol

Northstar lasts shorter

 

[Arrrammis]

Izuna attacking 3 nuke titans at close range while I snipe them across the map makes me feel like this is false.

Spoiler

Bonus points for Izuna planning on nuke ejecting on them, forgetting that he unequipped nuke eject

Anyone who dies faster as Northstar than they do as Ronin in FD is probably playing at least one of them wrong

I don't like sniping, so that's the reason

Even though I'm set on maxing out every titan's aegis rank

 

[OdysseusVA]

Yeah, weapon diversity wont change to what it was in the HTTK playlist. Hitscan all the time.

Oh hey
Theres the G2 and he brought his friends. Great.

Ive actually been doing really well with Northstar haha

 

[E92 M3]

There he goes again lol...

 

[Izuna]

... I hate that this update came out on the same day as Nioh. I'm gunna be underlevelled on all platforms haha but oh wells

I hope they let you play higher difficulties so long as one person is high enough rank. That would allow friends to help each other out.

 

[Data West]

how do you 'upgrade yourself' in frontier defense? it just gives me the aegis updates automatically

That feel when you finish Assembly

Northstar is really good in FD

so far i've found her and Scorch to be the most reliably good. maybe tone or monarch. I dont know if Ronins worth the tradeoff but he seems really good too

 

[Arrrammis]

Man, people love to leave frontier defense games after the first wave apparently. Finish a wave with no issues, then suddenly you're 3-manning the waves against a legion

Spoiler

hehehe

of nuke titans.

Also, once again I got glitched so that I could only use my basic abilities, look around, dash, and shoot while in my titan, but I could not eject, core, move normally, or manually reload. Will add video when it finished uploading for anyone who wants to look into the cause/situation of the glitch.

Here's the clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axYXfDaf5yQ
The glitch happens around 15 seconds in, I just included the rest of the clip to show what you can and cannot do, how annoying the glitch is, and that it completely fixes itself after you respawn.

RESPAWN: "BUY ALL THE WARPAINT!!!"

 

[Izuna]

How much faster do you level with warpaint

 

[Triforce141]

How much faster do you level with warpaint

It doesn't make much of a difference for the first few levels, but is probably a timesaver in the end total

 

[crashnburn]

How much faster do you level with warpaint

I thought it was 1 merit per warpaint up to a total of 4 max per match (cumulative among all players playing)?

Not a huge difference in paper but I'm sure it'll add up quickly.

Surprisingly haven't seen a lot of ions in FD. I would guess his laser trip mines with the kit where it doesn't take energy would be popular.

 

[Izuna]

Getting matched up with quality teammates. Top notch. The best.

I had an attrition match tonight where a dude scored 8 pts the entire match, I don't know how you can even do that, like did he sit in corner teabagging the air to his own laughter the entire match.

Noticed that scorch is basically stealth mode titan in a titan brawl match tonight, multiple times walked up behind me and I heard nothing. A couple other people on my team commented the same.

Ion, especially at low levels, does not have the power to quickly kill large amount of infantry, and her anti titan firepower is limited by the energy pool, at least before the two major energy related aegis upgrades.

RESPAWN: "BUY ALL THE WARPAINT!!!"

Yeah I noticed like 5 minutes after that post that the xp bonuses existed for aegis ranks. Really shitty imo, since even regular FD defense games can last like 30 minutes and you don't even get 1 level up.

And I respect that they made all dlc free but I can't even justify buying the cosmetic dlc because in total now it's up to like what, 100 dollars? I know to pick and choose and all that but the warpaint titan bundle alone is 20 bucks.

 

[crashnburn]

I bit and bought the weapon warpaint cause I liked the chance for double XP tokens. I wanted to support the devs for the stellar DLC support. Don't think I'll bite on Aegis XP boosters though. It's gonna be a slog to max level Titans even with it. Feel like Respawn was a little stingy on how quickly Titans level up Aegis rank. Oh well.

 

[sixpackrules]

War games on FD can get pretty intense, i think i only have won two games on that map,

 

[Izuna]

So like, xp codes were cross platform. I kinda wish skins were too.

WAT?

 

[Izuna]

WAT?

It'd why I have like 100 codes on PS4 and PC haha

 

[SmartWaffles]

Ugh Frontier defense is factoring into stats for player vs player on the stats page. It completely bombed out my K/D for the last 10 games. Why would they include stats for a game mode that doesnt have other player characters....

There was a server side hotfix that addressed it, it will no longer affect your overall KD.

 

[disillusion386]

Are you talking about those mountain dew codes and any preorder DLC? I think that's recent or at least not implemented at launch. Also, I have BF1 on Xbox which gave me the Red Baron Ion skin, but I have TF2 on PS4. The skin didn't use to show up on PS4, but now it does so maybe it's just the non-paid DLC being cross-platform.

Nah, the Dew codes at and around launch made it so that when I logged into PC I had +100 codes and when I eventually got the PS4 I had a crap ton. It would be nice if there was a cross-platform way to buy this stuff (from their own store or something) so we can get it for all platforms, especially since the Aegis Rank grind is on another level.

I was thinking, some of these that give XP boosts should be rewarded by doing the campaign. That would be a good thing.

Frontier Defense makes Ronin's Highlander kit super awesome. Activating sword core feels like I'm playing one of my Japanese animes.
