It means you have to reload once. That's why I use the Archer instead. ;p -- it does like 90% of their Doom so all you gotta do is shoot after a since tick. Even then they'd likely eject anyway. As a Pilot on a rooftop it's easy to Goose.
omg no

Why would I use a shotgun when the smgs have crazy hip fire range
spread.
mastiff is a killer indoors. eva is completley terrible though. That said the game suffers from the same issue as Titanfall. The ceiling is automatic rifles and always will be. It's kind of curious why they even add snipers, launcher or shotguns when they ultimately dont fit in Titanfall's environment.
Couldn't disagree more. I've had the Mastiff fail to kill people at very close ranges while the Eva has never let me down.
I don't think they have said anything about that and I honestly doubt it.

Yeah like there's the lmg that fires faster the longer you hold it down
If that's not the most anti-titanfall weapon I don't know what is

Fun factor I think, I have more fun killing 10 pilots with the Mastiff vs 20 with the CAR (phase shift thrown in the mix is the most fun in MP IMO).
I love using the EPG but as the playerbase becomes more experienced, that shit ain't gonna fly. If you're trying to get good at the game, it feels like you're wasting your time with anything but an AR or SMG.

I haven't bought into a shooter this falll yet and Its down to all three.
COD, Battlefield and TF2.
I can't decide but man TF looks cool

That's interesting. For me I'm struggling to detach (pardon the pun) myself from the grappling hook. I find it to be so core to the movement after using it for 10-15+ hours that I miss it massively when trying to use other abilities.

I wonder what reasoning is behind some of the out of bounds areas on these maps. Boomtown has a couple of weird ones and then I saw this last night
http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/LiquidJM/video/23214826
That looks like a good sniper position, it's very puzzling why that would be considered out of bounds.

Lol you are so incredibly wrong on this. They have a second team on Star Wars (and have been on it for awhile).
I'm expecting a new map every month and a half-2 months

It depends on your style I guess, I could never get the grappling hook down. I grappled face-first into walls more often than not and also didn't like that it was not very responsive to lateral movement. I suppose if I practiced with it more I would use it on certain maps.
Stim has saved me from many shot-in-the-back deaths and the only other tactical I use is pulse blade which is only for bounty hunt.

Yup agreed.
Anyway I'd like to be able to choose boosts per loadout, I wanna use something other than amped weapons on my pilot only loadout but if I have a titan boost that's not possible. I understand it may mess things up because of the different charge percentages though.
Also I'm fine if they nuke nuclear ejection out of the game. Too many times I've won a duel with a titan only to have them nuclear eject, killing me and letting them survive.

I'm just running through the campaign and loving it so far.
I love how they introduce new mechanics like the time shifting.

Nuclear Ejection ain't going anywhere lol. I think it's an intentional move by the developers to get some people salty like Martyrdom in Modern Warfare. Shit, there was a burn card in Titanfall that increased the spread of NE, lol.
Well I'd be glad to be wrong.
I guess I just feel if I was respawn starwars would be a huge shot at success again. I would put everything I had behind it.

Why not both?
I haven't been following, is the star wars game something along the lines of TF2 (singleplayer fps and multi?) or something else?
Also, I never got a chance to play the first TF and boy do I regret it. TF2 is easily becoming one of my all time favorite games.

I don't know much about the nuts and bolts of game development but I seriously doubt Respawn would reassign map gurus for their biggest franchise to a star wars action game that probably has no maps.
Was playing Bounty Hunter, and had probably my longest killstreak going into the final bank, would have won the game easily but the enemy team got to deposit seconds before I could and we lost 
Got far too focused on killing and I think I missed 2 bank deposits earlier anyway. I'm a bad teammate sometimes.

Tone is nowhere close to being OP - people are just complainers. I get wrecked by good teams all the time. These days everyone wants everything handed to them. Fighting Tone just requires a little different thinking. Number one thing I hate about the forums these days - nerf, nerf, nerf. Everyone is crying over something.
Truly hope Respawn filters bitching from real problems.

In better news: I love rocking Zebra Pink on all items. It's by far my favorite camo.

Titan executions seems to work 100% of the time for me. I did 3 in a row during the Epilogue of Attrition. For them I get in close and just hold R3 down. Pilot melee is a different story, especially airborne is broken.

What's supposed to be so OP about Tone? Other than Legion's humongous clip size I don't have any problem with the Titan balance.

Yeah, as I've put time into Ion Ive been having less and less trouble against Tone.

So you abandon your game just because news outlets are saying it's a failure? It's a good thing you are not a studio head lol.
People also thought rainbow six was a failure and look how that turned out.
Dlc and consistent updates/ word of mouth and the incredible review scores can work the magic. The title updates for 1 were great (paid dlc won that war though)

I fuck up Tone's with Ion as well. I'm surprised at the amount of players who just feed the vortex shield endlessly.
Nothing. "If X kills me it's OP."
"If I am uncomfortable fighting against this, it's OP."
"I don't like it, so it's OP."
Basically, clutters the airwaves for real problems.
/thread.
Game is so good. I've been rolling with the R201, but I gave the CAR a shot, and oh my. Loving it.
Also just had 3 types of kills that my old ass had never experienced in this:
1. Simultaneously ejected next to an enemy Titan, floating back down, and I noticed that the enemy pilot was maybe 10 ft away at exactly my same altitude. Needless to say, he ate CAR.
2. Grappled way into the air and meleed an annoying sniper as I swung around the top of the building. Landed on him. Didn't teabag.
3. Picked off an ejecting pilot waaaay off in the distance with a perfectly led shot from TONE.
So much fun.

Nuclear Ejection is not so bad this time around because it can't be combined with autoeject.

Your fave is problematic but do keep acting ignorant about it.
Never nerf! Please tell me the downside of cloak then. All of the other skills have some downside or risk involved using them. Cloak is just be permanently invisible all the time. It's brainless. It's not really used for sneaking or being stealthy, it's mostly just to run at people and get an extra half second advantage in an already low TTK environment. Even standing in melee range directly behind a stationary cloak user, I can barely fucking see them.
I guess it depends on how you want the game designed. I enjoy there being a risk/reward element. A bunch of brainless stuff being spammed doesn't seem good to me. It's why I'd like vulnerability during titan executions, the ability to execute to stop nukes, more damage against cloaked pilots, etc. People should have to think about when to use cloak, not just always be cloaked.
That's one of the things I loved about stealth in Crysis mp, which is criminally underrated. You could use stealth to be difficult to spot and give you the jump on people, but if someone noticed you, you were going down.

I think the free DLC is going to add a lot of better designed new maps since the community has heavily expressed how they want more that are similar to the first Titanfall's maps. I mean Angel City is coming out next month so there is always that masterpiece to look forward to.
This.
I rather he gets some type of arc jump instead of hovering where hes an easy target to pick off.
This was what I was originally referring to.
Honestly Tone is not OP at all and it's a shame because these players are too brainless to put any thought into playing as other Titans.
To use cloak (which is easy to see) is to give up a Stim or Sonar knife... No one has complained about cloak since the opening week of R1.
That link doesn't really prove much. Tone can easily be taken down with Ion, Scorch, Ronin, and a smart legion. Honestly, it's just perpetual bitching.
They are so invisible that I can see them running across the map. Cloak takes away the use of other cool abilities like phase shift or stim. There is your sacrifice.
It's a problem with your screen that you can't see them. Cloak users are actually easier to pick out than pilots and grunts.
Instead of getting better, people will bitch and bitch until the game is ruined or to their liking. Overall, today's culture always plays the blame game instead of reflecting on what they did wrong themselves.

Legion auto cannon is pretty good.
If you lead with the long range or short range charge shot depending on distance you can get some good damage in right at the start.
The automatic fire also shreds through titans when you use it at the proper range depending on your setting.

Wrong, Eva is insane. Awesome rate of fire and a one hit kill at short range. Useless at long range but that's why you Stim to get up in their face.
