TITANFALL 2 |G2.1| "Whatever The Fuck That Means"
- Thread starter VisceralBowl
- Start date
Finished the campaign for this yesterday and got in a few mp games. As someone not particularly fond of the direction MW took console shooters in and not super impressed by TF1, I was super surprised by the campaign. The Galaxy/Platinum games comparisons are actually legit. I loved Doom earlier this year, but this is easily the best fps campaign I've played since HL2:Ep. 2 ages ago. Enjoying the mp too, fast ttk and ads aside. The insane mobility just brings so much to the table that I'm willing to overlook that direction.
Any tips for newbies? Heard good things about the Hemlock, so working my way up to that. Trying out each of the titans. Enjoyed scorch a lot, but the lack of a dash really hurts as a new player. Will probably go back to ion till I unlock tone.

Population numbers have been dwindling pretty drama tically since the Christmas surge.
This is a predictable and understandable result of shit balance and embarrassingly poor matchmaking.

Sorry? Couldnt hear you over the sound of my turret cross-mapping kids across angel city.
For Scorch and legion, try using the dash kit (it gives you a dash and costs 24 credits to unlock). Otherwise, try just exploring the maps, there's a lot of neat flank routes that are hidden, and a lot of players funnel into the same areas for different modes, so knowing where they are gives you a huge advantage. If you're firing a CAR, volt, etc, try hip firing. That way you can keep up your speed, and those weapons have the same spread regardless of hip firing or ADS. If you come across an enemy pilot turret, you can kill it in a single melee hit (but it takes two Titan melees because logic I guess).
calm your tits man. The SMG's are no where near the level of crap that the AR's are. So make sure you preface your posts with "On PC" because if we get another balance patch made for PC on console i'll lose my fucking shit.
Its stupid to balance stuff in both platforms at same time, stuff will be badly unbalanced if stuff is balanced for pc or console.
They should balance for both seperately like OW or I dunno even what else.
Stuff will be always unbalanced unless they balance them seperately.
prime example of separate balance. nuking was such a big thing in Titanfall 1 on pc for some reason. maybe because of how easy it was to nuke slide? it was never an issue on console.
PC players are just too distracted, I guess lol

Why do Grunts and Stalkers do so much damage to Titan shields? Its pretty ridiculous.
There is at least 50 things that needs balancing/fixing
Im slowly losing interest because of 20tick.
They better up it or I might find better game.

Right, its just the first week.
We should be receiving another FNN next week, but Im doubtful that will have any meaningful info. A public road map would be nice. If they're worried about promising things then they should make it clear plans can change in case they need the wiggle room.

This is why I don't understand when people say it's the best. I escape more often using stim than phase shift.

Playing Titanfall 2 under a fever is rage inducing because you can't react to shit.
Yap, Legion and Tone are so good for killing PilotsD
played a group of 5 in ctf and they didn't even get in their titans, left these scorches sitting outside the flag cap spot.
i got killed by a titan 5 fucking times. 5 times. shooting me with laser like precision. i got killed stimming across the map and this thing just picked me off out of thin air.
That'll be 40 then, thank you.
I haven't tried scorch, may be worth it...
Not for traystation~~~
You should get a PS4... Bloodborne is worth it

glad i waited until i got a ps4 pro before getting this. it looks so clean at 1080p and i don't have the framerate problems i had with the beta on xb1.
How about you buy me a PS4, then I'll buy you Titanfall 2.
Those frame rate problems were om both systems in the tech test. They're gone.
good lord...
It's not.
Nope

No word from Respawn on some sort of DLC roadmap yet? I'm not really following the news or this thread but I think it's getting a bit poor that they haven't said anything. I get that game development is hard work and there's plenty of things behind the scenes that we can't anticipate obtructing game development however there is little excuse for the lack of transparency. If DLC is coming but they're not sure how long it will take or what content will feature, then tell people that.
This was a year that was utterly abundant of multiplayer shooters however it's also significant that next year is almost absent of them. Look at the release lineup for 2017, there are no big competitive multiplayer shooters launching ahead that are on anyone's radar, therefore it's the perfect opportunity to turn your brand around. The most successful shooter will be the one whose developers can support it as a service. That's what Rainbow Six proved and that's what Titanfall 2 could achieve if the developers clearly express their intentions to support this game.
I get the joke but it isn't true, Hanzo is one of the most accuracy dependent characters, people were just salty that can hit them in pretty janky ways, but at the end of the day he's using a slow moving projectile and needs a headshot to kill you. If he gets it he deserves it, he's a bad enough character as it is without making it harder to hit people.
But there are other characters I forgot, that's why I said etc. Mei and Torb aren't especially accuracy dependent, and other characters like Reaper and DVA have crosshairs the size of a house. It's harder to miss than it is to land a shot in Overwatch, there are less accuracy dependent characters than there are those that need to aim.

Saw this today and thought it was pretty cool, I like the BF1 music on TF2.

The only shooter I played after Titanfall was Modern Warfare Remastered and I only did the campaign.
I still play Overwatch, its hilarious when I pick Lucio and wall run, its so terrible and slow haha.

I just realized I didn't have the gauntlet achievement on any of the platforms lol. Going to see how my movement fares now.
EDIT: done on all 3, 33 sec feels so easy now lol.

No, that's not what I was talking about at all. I was talking about the ability to move while initiating a nuke. You could dash while still nuking . Essentially you could engage nuke and in the last min dash closer to your opponent . It was crazy stupid with a strider
you've obviously seen that before right? You knew how to strafe eject in titanfall 1 ?
No need to. One of the boys last night wanted to get this overkill nuke with Northstar but she got destroyed before she got close enough. I just Phase Dashed in. The poor dude's probably kept bumping into each other trying to escape. Satisfying though.
Ronin is the best for Nuke.
