I'll jump on in about 15min
NE would be non practical if you could destroy the Titan during the wind up.
Just like executions.
Anyone?

I really like the look of the new update, though I have a feeling I will be hard pressed to find people to play the new mode with me.
on PS4 it's 3 times square (doomed). If on another platform, use the key/button 3 times, which you would use for embarking a titan.
Why would you just eject normaly when your titan is going to scorch the surrounding.
Messed around with the sensitivity options (went from normal to high with fine aim setting) and HORY SHEET!
I can look around to check for walls faster, I can actually jump from wall to wall to wall instead of stopping short, I'm the goddamn Silver Surfer with guns!
On the other hand, since I'm really not used to this (played destiny on 4 sensitivity, that's low), I can't aim for crap.. but oh well

Yeah, agreed. I said that earlier in the thread.
I can't say I've ever needed it, is all. What can I tells ya?
Agree with the bolded (said the same earlier in the thread too).
When doomed? Do you not see the eject prompt? It's spam square.
When not doomed, press up on the d-pad, then spam square.
Hemlok is by far the most OP weapon in the game but it's harder to use than the Devotion for the general population. That's why i think you see more Devotions.
Hover is useful to throw people off, i've seen some people use it really well but overall low profile is the best. I would say to use hover if you really can't shoot well in the air.

GGs!
All the food talk made me hungry. I'll be back in a bit.

Why cant it be changed so a minor attacks against it aren't enough, but a significant attack by you or you and a teammate will save you from it?
You can be stopped in the middle of every other attack in my experience, why not be able to shutdown the Nuclear ejection before it reaches critical?

GG's to the guys I played with earlier. I was a bit nervous playing with you guys. I see all these cool highlights that some of you guys post up and feel like I'm just total ass compared to everybody else since I rarely have these cool experiences. I'm still average at best but I'm glad I could just get over that idea and just have fun with a bunch of people who are there for the same reason.
Hah, that's great. =)
As for fine aiming: try turning off the deadzone for a tiny boost to aim control.
Why does it need to?
There are so many ways to counter nuclear ejection, it doesn't need another one.
Don't use hover after ejection since, like you said, you easily get picked up by titans and pilots. Use it more in hectic situations where i jump from a building while fighting.
Also after the pilot Regen "low profile" is locked away till lvl 40 or 225 credits. Didn't have that but I'm close again to unlocking it with creds. Will also be my last pilot Regen as i don't see any further use for it except show of some little "G4" logo.
And wtf you can grapple pilots... didn't know that till someone "come hereeee"d me from a building.
Do i only miss it by a bit everytime or aren't bounty titans not killable by titanfall?

Maybe a rodeo that completes before the detonation could? That'd be cool. Big risk too.

Have you also tried changing the Field of View setting?
As it turns out, dropping a titan on an enemy does a set amount of damage, it's not an instant kill. I've noticed that on most bounty titans, it can take out ~80% of their health. Still a huge amount of damage and more than enough to kill player titans, but not a guaranteed one-shot kill.
all this time and i did not know about this

all you have to do to avoid a nuke as a pilot is get out of site. hide behind a box, a pillar, anything and you won't die no matter how close you are. ha.

So basically the same as DVa's ult lol.
Was it like this for Titanfall 1 as well? I never dealt with nuke ejection much in the first game much since it wasn't viable in CTF or LTS.
Since it is viable here with someone like Ronin there's a lot of people running it. Knowing this helps.

Same with a Titan right? Just harder to get out of LOS.
Woah, good info. Although it seems that the Bounty Titans have a bit more HP than player Titans.
I thought that was common knowledge, lol. And yeah, it was like that in TF1 too, though if you played mostly LTS and CTF I can imagine you rarely saw it
Yep
: Not true, it always kills 100%, even Bounty Titans. However, if it barely hits (think dome shield range) it will do a certain amount of damage. You can take advantage of this to self-damage so you can be doomed ready to Nuke.

Just got the platinum today. The gauntlet was one of the first trophies I did before even bothering going for the rest. I thought to myself, If I can't get this fucking trophy, then whats the point of going for the rest? Waste of time.
But anyways, happy I got a plat for this game. Well deserved. Excellent game.

Yea that's why I either run to a titan with a dome shield to stay safe from the blast or not nuclear eject myself until a titan comes out of dome shield

Maybe I missed it, but has Respawn said anything regarding balancing the meta as it relates to their new update?
I'd be pretty unimpressed if they prioritized a throw-away mode nobody asked for or wanted over tweaking broken weapons that have near unanimous scorn from their shrinking player base....

The FNN update doesn't mention it, but Respawn devs have confirmed there will be balance changes in the next patch. No details have been posted that I'm aware of.
I can only speak to PC, but on PC the weapon balance is actually pretty good IMO. The Devotion sticks out like a sore thumb and needs a long range TTK nerf, but besides that it's more a matter of a few weapons being too weak than too strong. The Hemlok/G2 aren't oppressive at all on PC in my experience, they take a lot of skill to use well and you'll still lose most of the time to an equally skilled pilot using an SMG/shotgun/other AR at close range. You see a pretty good variety of weapons on PC.
Decided to change things up today. Played a bunch of Bounty Hunt. Shit, the base level of players in BH is so much lower than that of attrition. I was MVP 16/19 games. The 3 I wasn't I came in really late. I still managed top 3 in those too.
The average score is about 600. Fucking 600. How can you be THAT bad at shooting bots?
I've also got the hang of the CAR. Definitely like it the most. I still have times when I just can't hit someone, but eh. That's the same for every weapon.

Soon
its' all over this thread but i'll post it again since i hate them so much and well, fuck it:
On Console. The OP stuff
- Tone
- Hemlok
- Devotion
- G2a (the range)
- Sentry-turret
- A-Wall (because there's a bug making it indestructible right now)
Hopping on PS4, anyone interested can join up!
Agreed on all of these except the G2. It's pretty bad compared to every other gun at close range, and its range is really the only redeeming factor for it. Even at close range it's a 4-shot body shot kill, meaning that the Devotion has a lower time to kill that the G2 at long range.

I can agree with that but in the hands of a good player it can be a really big pain in the fucking ass in CTF. On backwater? forget it. It's the most OP gun you can use on that map. On eden all people do is sit at the end of the rail on either side and pick people off. Same goes for maps like Angel city where a player can just rooftop camp while picking people off across map with ease.
Your average player won't be effective with it though and that's why i don't expect them changing anything with it.

I don't think I've seen this posted here
Speculation
Live Fire would be "DLC2" so the next Prime Titans would be after the upcoming patch.
