TITANFALL 2 |G2.1| "Whatever The Fuck That Means"

youre_serious_futurama.gif


Tried to use the Hemlok, CAR, and Flatline this week, still feel like if I am not using the R-101 or G2 I am getting wrecked.

G2 is hot garbage now. Can't even run and gun with it anymore.
 
Scorch feels really good tho
Tempered plating changes are probably the most significant? Zero damage from own thermite and weak spots removed? Maybe its too good

:p
 
Mates i am truly loving tf2 now, it's bloody amazing. The new maps are still not that great though, crash in particular is garbage but the core gameplay is solid.

In tf1 u could stay in your titan for practically the whole game because of shield recharge and u combine that with 40mm and Rocket salvo u can take on infantry and titans but in tf2 they are more disposable and i really like the battery/core dynamic too.

Attrition is just the best but i do miss marked for death hopefully they bring it back. Pilot Vs pilot is good too but it takes longer to find game so i don't bother

It's been so spotty since the beta I wouldn't mind if they removed it completely aside from executions. Or just nerfed the damage. I thought they already made it only 50% of health but I guess that never went through?
I agree with this, you can only patch things so many times before you realize it's just not working. Make it do less than 100% dmg on forward facing hits and keep executions as normal. I never liked 1 hit kill forward facing to begin with, but if your implementation of it isn't working it becomes ridiculously frustrating.
 
The rage quitting on PS4 at least is a huge problem. If my team is down by even one point for the second half, it's not uncommon to have 2 people gone already. Then it just snowballs from there. I've finished plenty games where I'm the only one on my team. I remember having this problem in Halo 5. The problem is they don't effectively punish the behavior. The first time you leave a match it should ban you from multiplayer for 10 to 15 minutes. That shouldn't be an issue if you actually need to leave and go do something else.

Yeah it's straight up silly it's still an instant kill imo.


Also I played Relic for literally the first time ever last night lol. Meanwhile Complex shows up like twice a session...
 
In my experience with FD, War games has a 80% chance of being the game Im dumped into and its got a flawless 100% of being the 2nd map in rotation (if its not the first map).

Why!? I fucking hate this map and I hate FD on it. The ticks are hard to see and they seem to glitch out the most on this map where they just sort of glide across the sky and occasionally just become indestructible for a second or two.

Also, any FD map that has Nuke titans is infinitely more manageable than those damn mortar titans.
 
Bad teammates

And laggy servers or laggy players or both

This is the one thing holding me back from buying it after the free trial this week. I'm not too big of a fan of the MP, although FD was kinda fun. Are there more rounds for the harder difficulties?

There was one time were 2 people left and me and the last random were left to defend for ourselves, that wasnt fun.

But I'm interested in the SP, I'll probably wait until it drops below $20.
 
So for people who played the original, was Angel City pilots v pilots in that game rooftop/building camping with snipers or long rage rifles as well?

There are only 5 rounds regardless of difficulty. Well, at least up to Hard or Master? Whichever difficulty is before Insane.
 
That was PvP period. Not specifically Angel City.

It's partly why noone liked PvP and why it was dead
Ah that sucks, when people are running around (or at least it works to run around) pvp is a blast
Hover needs to be moved to kit 1, its too powerful to be on kit 2.
Kit 2 is low profile and low profile only as far as I'm concerned, but I love when other people use hover because it makes them an easy target.
 
So all the pilot stuff that was hacked a while ago wasn't for FD? Or maybe it's for a pilot only FD coming in the future?

Anyway I liked what I've played of FD. Bought the Titan skins to support the devs and maybe help with the grind but... you get one point of experience per round with it? When you earn like 15 in general for clearing the whole match?! That's not so hot. I'm trying to give Respawn money mostly just to support them but... I think you need a little more win in your pay2win guys <3
 
I think double xp should really be the default in this. It unlocks something almost every single time and there are god knows how many things to unlock.
And I'm not expecting to ever unlock everything, but it makes every match, even the shitty ones less shitty. It encourages people to keep playing.

And seriously, having to unlock every skin individually of every weapon is insane. I maybe get character and titan colors, but the weapon shit is something I don't think I've ever seen in any other game.

It was probably dropped.

This game is fucking amazing.

Even if you just start playing MP, you can destroy.
I did so well yesterday after not playing for months.

Is there anywhere I can see player numbers on PS4?

Gotta be honest, I'm getting burnt out on this game. Frontier Defense is fun but boy howdy, the retries are a grind if the team sucks. I think the other thing that sucks is understanding the long term Aegis ranks and how they apply to the greater game (if at all).

Rise is quite amazing tho.

Are those Aegis rank perks only for Frontier Defense or for all MP modes?
 
Hey what's up TF GAF, just discovered this series through Origin Access and got pointed to this thread for pointers. Multiplayer seems like it could be a ton of fun, any tips for getting started? Playing on PC.

I will get through the campaign of course, but yeah.

Agree or at least make unlocks easier if don't want to devalue levelling up

The best way to jump into one of the most surprising shooters of 2016 is with the Titanfall® 2 Ultimate Edition. Not only do you get access to all of the content included in the Digital Deluxe edition, this bundle also includes a Jump Start Pack which instantly unlocks all Titan and Pilot classes and arms you with the funds, Double XP tokens AND a custom warpaint skin for the R-201 Carbine all to get you up to speed on the Frontier. Ultimate Edition includes Titanfall® 2 base game, Deluxe Edition content (Scorch & Ion Prime Titans, Deluxe Edition Warpaint for 6 Titans, Deluxe Edition Camo for all Titans, Pilots & Weapons, Deluxe Edition Nose Arts for 6 Titans, Deluxe Edition Callsign), and Jump-Starter content (All Titans unlocked, all Pilot tacticals unlocked, 500 tokens to unlock loadouts, cosmetics and gear, 10 2x XP tokens, the Underground R-201 Carbine Warpaint).
 
I have the Standard Edition, is it worth $51.99 CAD for all the extras?

I don't feel that it is.
Playing FD can unlock things fairly quickly and the Titan warpaints cannot be used on Prime Titans. Its not an issue if you like the way default Ion and Scorch Prime look.

nah, this is only good if you don't already own the game. It's just a bunch of boosters and a handful of skins.

Thanks guys!

Are those Aegis Rank perks from FD only for FD mode or they can be used in any mode?

EDIT: Seems to be only for FD:
Aegis Ranks are specialised Titan upgrades specific to Titanfall 2's Frontier Defense mode.

Except for aegis ranks lol

But yeah if you wanna level up primaries/secondaries go to PvP

If you wanna level up titan stuff go to FD

I feel like the ultimate edition should have included all of the bundles thus far but eh
 
Teammates, please go after the Mortar Titans, a Scorch isn't supposed to go that far and take care of them if there are 5 Nuke Titans running towards the harvester
 
Unlocks in competitive feel laughably slow compared to even an Easy mode FD match. Wonder if Respawn will dial back the weapon and Titan experience gained from FD. I went from Legion G5 to G10 after maybe a dozen FD match lol.
