TITANFALL 2 |G2.1| "Whatever The Fuck That Means"
- Thread starter VisceralBowl
- Start date
Same here. I love they're updating the game, I love that the content is free.
It just sucks, because I want new maps, and they're adding maps to a mode I know I won't play, and a map to a mode a few people play.
You would think they would launch new maps first to keep more of the population alive/prevent the game from being traded in, and then a few months down the line add new gametypes with exclusive maps.
But hey, I love Titanfall 2, and I can wait another month or three for new maps.
Excited to get the new Mixtape matchmaking that the team's been working on into everyone's hands. =)
This is really clever and will help the lower populated playlists.
I guess this will replace the current screens?
Also any Roadmap leaks exclusive for NeoGAF? ._.

Love the news, I'm only bummed about those two new maps not being playable in Pilot vs Pilot. It seems like it could be the TF2 version of Shipment. Forget strategy and everything else, just let the madness ensue.
And yes I loved playing Shipment in COD4(I just wish we didn't have to deal with the kill streaks).

Nukes them from orbit, if all goes well.
Looks really awesome, can't wait.

LOVE IT
Love the ziplines but then i see jaggy rocks a la crash site. Whoever it is at Respawn insisting on those fucking rocks should stop.
Jaggy rocks come from mother nature <3
This is just the process of "realistic" or coherent topography. We're playing the campaign in a kinda jungly area so it's only natural for these areas to contain sedimentary rocks
Sure, a rock here or there i'm ok with. Crash Site is the absolute worst map between both games that i get sick when i see anything that resembles it.
Any hidden balance updates coming?
A pilot-only mode and no balance patch/roadmap.
Why they think a shitty mode based on Halo 5's utmost shit mode would be a good idea is beyond comprehension. But i'll give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. Maybe it is fun, who knows?
Actually, on second thought nah. it's going to be complete and utter shit. Think about everyone cautiously roaming the perimeter of the map with a G2a.

I'll give it a chance.
Balancing should be done like right now. Not when the next DLC is coming out. NOW. Why wait? What's the point? Everyone knows what needs to be fixed.

I can't help but feel a bit disappointed.
They provided more info than I thought they would but failed to mention anything regarding balancing. Surprised, really.

Console cert. processes maybe?

Seriously
They can make weapon adjustments on their end without needing to go through cert.
It's appalling. They're entire approach to the promotion of this game to the fans has been the most bizarre shit i've ever seen in the marketing of a product.
I know Rayme has responded when people here claimed fans were getting trolled. Of course a company wouldn't do that but then we get this post with NO MENTION OF A BALANCE UPDATE. Surely, they see people talking about the balancing both on here and on reddit, people whine until they're blue in the face.
So, does it make any sense at all? I can't imagine any logical reason to not include at least a wink at it.
It is the best SMG. I love it. Practically saved the game for me after the volt nerf. As far as tips go i'd suggest a combination of hipfire and ADS. Start shooting at the hip and then ADS for the final bullets for precision.

Subete no aware
I was hoping they'd launch the co-op mode first. Oh well.
Of course there will be balance updates and bug fixes. =)
The update on the website today isn't patch notes, just a high-level peak at what we're working on getting out the door.
If all goes as planned, there will likely also be a server-side hotfix update for various issues, well before this full client update is live.
But we're usually pretty conservative on details until they're 100% locked in and we know we can press a button to make it so.

I guess that was assumed but still no indication on a timeframe. This is something that should be released right now.
Like i was saying..
This is the INTERNET. Why not put people at ease with a mention about it in your broad announcements? People start going into meltdown mode when they don't see any official word.

I'm no expert, but even if that's the case I imagine it's not as simple as changing a few values on demand. I would guess they would still have to do testing their end to make sure the changes are balanced and be sure they don't create any weird, unforeseen bugs or something.
Like I say, I'm no expert.
I'd say drill hip fire on pigs up close; tap hip fire in mid to long engagements.
It is the best SMG (they're all good, I think), but that last part isn't true:
It might sound counter intuitive but long distance is when you don't want to ADS, it makes it worse. This is true of all SMGs because of the ADS sway
Here's what I mean
Left is the result of tap firing with hip fire, right is the result of tap firing with ADS. The weapons natural sway in ADS makes the spread pattern really poor. I took this for some other purpose a while a go, but it shows what I mean.
I can vouch for this from experience.
I can totally understand this. There's nothing more frustrating than having to announce a dealy and piss EVERYONE off.
Also thanks for the clarification, any more info about the server side hotfix?
Is it balance changes as well or just bugfixes?
This could be true and all but the way the controller works, with the thumbsticks, it's not that easy to keep precision strictly with hipfiring, at least not with my sensitivity.
In order for me to make those quick turn arounds i need the sensitivity to be at "very high" which then causes the hip movement to be somewhat twitchy. I need the ADS to rebalance me during my acrobatics =D
(i posted gifs above so you can get an idea)
I guess I'm just disappointed at the development priorities. We know that different groups are in charge of different things, but there are opportunity costs. Resources taken for the pilot mode could have been spent on improving the base game. Aren't the pilot modes mostly deserted anyway? Why focus on modes without the best part of your game and the thing that makes it unique and interesting?
I feel like the focus should be new maps and Titans, maybe some new skills/weapons. Why spread the only moderately-sized playerbase among even more modes? If you asked me what I hoped to see in an update, this is basically the furthest thing from what I'd say.

Thanks
Are these issues issues or does it include balancing?
Of course
I didn't state otherwise. I was simply making it clear that cert isn't necessary.

Ah, I getcha.
Mark crosshair dot spot with something like marker or 3rd party crosshair.
Makes aiming 200% easier.
Truth.

Since they've mentioned more Titanfall 1 maps coming to Titanfall 2 might as well make it known
- Colony
- Smugglers Cove
- Runoff
+Nexus
Haven't played in a while and just saw the new content update.. I'm disappointed
Another PvP mode? The one in game is bad enough as it is I doubt this will be much different. The mode isn't the thing disappoints me most, it's that they're releasing 3 maps and all of them are gonna be tied to crap playlists. They should be making maps for all modes and if it doesn't work for some gamemodes, like this one, make it so you can only play in a specific area of that map and block access to the rest for that game mode.
The mixtape playlist updates looks good though
Hoping War Games is one of the Titanfall 1 remastered maps
You mean War Games

Sorry, that wouldn't be at the top of my list. It'd go:
- Colony
- Smuggler's Cove
- Run off
- Demeter
- Overlook
- Relic
- Nexus
- WAR GAMES
- Rise
At least you put Rise below WG, I can't complain too much
Super excited! Hopefully you can open up the new maps to other modes, too? If not, I'm still hyped to try the ziplines, balance fixes, other new maps, etc! This is 2016's GOTY for me, and I have no intentions of dropping it any time soon! Already bought the camo pack for support!
