TITANFALL 2 |OT| Don't Misgender Tone.
- Thread starter Joyful
- Start date
I tend to run the volt.
I like it because it is sort of in between the CAR and the 201. You can engage from a pretty decent range with it and it's very low recoil.
CAR, Alt, Volt are all really good guns though imo.
most of the time when I see an auto-titan I see a free battery. But enhanced Ions are very dangerous when you're on foot since they seem to have pretty good aim. Tone, I dunno. Titan AI doesn't generally hold up well against my playstyle (cowardly Northstar).
Anyways, has anyone else been using Northstar's 'makeshift electric smoke' technique? I've gotten several pilot kills by just firing my rocket into a building at close range and letting them burn in the fire. I take damage, but it's worth it. Maybe you need the ability that buffs rocket burn radius, but it's not like any of the other abilities are worthwhile.
It's the one I use, but its loadout has some problems. The core ability is a flashing 'PLEASE SHOOT ME' sign and the jump has limited use. The tether is pretty unreliable. The rockets are great for pilots in buildings or farming AI grunts en masse. But compared to Tone's loadout it feels really weak. The main gun is extremely powerful if you can aim with it, I shoot a lot of pilots out of the sky and it's nice being able to snipe since many people run around in 3-4 titan death ball squads.

That is a common technique from TF1, since no one at high level runs electric smoke, cluster missile is their only way to defend against rodeos, you can disembark from yous Titan while doing it, this way it won't take damage from the cluster missile, although I don't know whether that was changed in TF|2 (yes I think we should abbreviate Titanfall 2 like this).
What's not to like?
actually I noticed that most players ignore the batteries (on PC)
Hah, I usually play Ronin, so I need the shield (from the battery pick-up) to do early-round scouting while I do the sword block move. I usually absorb lots of chip damage from my shields, but it really helps to spot enemy Titans out early, so the trade-off is worth it. It only gets dicey when enemy Ronin players have the same idea, but that's kind of rare in my experience.
Also, another great article from Waypoint, this time touching on why Respawn isn't detailing everything in their patch notes. Read it here: https://waypoint.vice.com/en_us/art...everything-inside-the-titanfall-2-patch-notes

Oh ok that makes a lot of sense. I'm considering picking up a Pro and double dipping on TiFa2(this is how I think it should be shortened) just to play it downscaled without any jaggies.

I like how differently the game plays in a Titan vs on foot. Yet both unique playstyles are balanced so well when they go up against each other.
Not as well as TF1, but still really damn well.
I haven't done any last titan standing even though I'm pretty much just a titan specialist and I play one that works well with ally titan cover (northstar). I dunno even though I prefer being in a titan, I just feel like this game is missing something without all of its pieces in place and that includes lots of pilot combat and AI grunts.
Still don't really think the patch notes need to be THAT vague. This also seems really dependent on them engaging closely with the community - which thankfully they are doing in this very thread - but I'm hoping they're doing it with a heavy bullshit filter. I don't think anyone should take my salty raging at face value. SMGs are too strong though, fuck.
Semi-related note I'm in the Waypoint network because the Giantbomb and GAF ones have bad times for happy hour, lol. There's hardly ever any people in it, though.

TitanFall 2 was my favorite shooter campaign in year, that was perfect!
I can't wait to jump into multiplayer now.

She can be great but her core sucks and pretty low health. Other than that pretty solid.
Apologies. My stupid phone autocorrects HDR to DVD. This game doesn't have HDR but you'd never know. It looks great.
I feel the same way and said the same thing about TF1. I've played quite a bit today and I've pretty much stuck with pilot vs pilot.The entire on foot game is far more interesting and entertaining than the Titan gameplay.
I cant get into BF1 for exact same reason.
I played TF2 first when i bought them at the same time and now it is incredibly jarring to play BF1 after TF2.
It also feels very empty to me despite 64 players. Find it hard getting into the action. That said its still enjoyable but its like going for a Sunday drive in a Honda Civic after taking a Ferrari around a track.
about 1800 in my region tonight (UK) Seems low at times but I never wait long for a game. How long that lasts is anyone's guess
Going to be realistic and acknowledge I was looking for the tiniest push to buy the game. That will do, goodbye $59.99!
Edit: Totally forgot Origin has a return option as well, would've jumped a lot sooner had I realized that.
I am on the Pro and not having stutters, maybe it was a one time thing?

Just realized that grapple is the only ability in which you can't fire your weapon while using it.

Stupid PS4 Pro with its super long transfer times means I won't be able to rank up at least until five hours from now.
It seems the various Black Friday deals are doing its work. I mean, lots of thread have people snatching the game up even if some erroneously think the game is in "bomba" price mode, hence why it's low. Someone on Respawn confirmed that it's retailers who are doing it, and yeah, I gather as much as well.
Very good news for TF2 MP fans since that means more and more people will be online, and more Titans to crush (Black Friday and Christmas noobs). That said, I hope no one gets too frustrated going up against high level and experienced players too much.

I bought two more copies for friends so it's doing its job.
I think I might do the transfer overnight. Ill get home Saturday and open it up and start the transfer when I am down playing for the night.

Woo!
On another note, not sure if it's just me, but this TF2 OT has been quite pleasant to read thorough. Lots of gifs, vids, etc. and people voice their complaints intelligently, which is super refreshing compared to the other OTs we have here on GAF.
Prepare for a long siege! Use CAT .5e cables for both PS4s if possible. I originally had like 600GB left to transfer and estimated time to finish was 16 friggin' hours! I just transferred the PSVR stuff, and some games I want to play right away (Rise of the Tomb Raider, Watch Dogs 2, etc.) and just said, "fuck it," and I'll just download everything else.
Important to note, you CANNOT transfer a few files and then transfer the rest. It needs to be in one go or it will overwrite the original transfer. Stopping the transfer will initialize your PS4 Pro which means you'll essentially be starting from scratch. 280GB transferring and I still have five hours left. Ugh!
Landing that ship with a delicate and respectful hand.
Tone's core is still one of the most powerful and compared to other titans it's one of the fastest to call down.
She isnt' balanced. She's a tad too good for all situations compared to the other titans. Not to mention she's the easiest to use. She needs a slight tweak, like i suggested, and she'd be far more balanced and not as lethal in the hands of pretty much anyone.
There's no argument to be had here. Any time a team is losing in LTS the next thing you see is 3 or 4 people all switching to tone.
The game shouldn't be balanced around LTS. Tone is the Ryu of the game - she will always be most picked.
Also, did anyone else get booted from the servers?

What system? Always varied on ps4

I like all the titans but she is definitely the most boring to play. Can't comment on LTS but I always see varied teams
Applesauce
Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Yeah, I don't see an abundance of Tone. I see a pretty good mix in Attrition and Bounty hunt, perhaps Tone is just really popular in LTS, I dunno I haven't played that yet.

Can someone explain how you hit/track moving targets with ADS?
I just tried to use it again and lost every single firefight against someone who wasn't standing still/afk.
