My friends invited me to play some BF1 tonight and I had to quit after the second match. We all put TF2 in right after. Everything was so sluggish and stiff. Evolved control scheme has also ruined muscle memory for other shooters
I've had that with the patches. Thought it might have been some weird decision for regeneration but definitely seems to be a bug.
Ahahaha I really want to pull off something like that (ideally from eject height) for a highlight reel I'm doing.
Do you still have the original clip in case I never manage it?

That's awesome. Haha!
Exactly what I've been doing. I dick around with LMGs, and other kits just to level up since I want to hi Gen10 or whatever max there is. Thing here is, I don't really care about these things in past shooters like CoD or BF. For those games, I usually choose a gun I cam dominate with, and use it all the time. For some odd reason, I don't care in TF2 since it's fun just messing with loadouts. I don't have a main Tactical now. I use Stim, Cloak, Hook -- basically, what tickles my fancy at the time.
Yep. Same reason why I hate playing BF sometimes. A bad teammate/squad can make the game hell. In TF2, it's like a more team oriented Call of Duty (sorry for the comparison) but with a better version of TDM (Attrition) since you can contribute without killing a lot of Pilots or Titans. I sometimes farm grunts and get to the top of the scoreboard because of it.
I gather, a few more franchise entries (maybe TF3, even) and we'll see competitive Titanfall matches. Not a fan of those, to be honest, but I can see that happening since the core game of TF is ripe for professional stuff.

I'm trying my hardest to give them a chance but, for Attrition at least, LMGs are fucking rubbish.
I really don't get why there isn't a Skirmish only playlist.

Getting into my stride in multi now. Took a while for it to grow on me, I initially preferred the first game. But, Holy Cow, Titanfall 2's multiplayer is extraordinary, especially when you start playing well as Pilot AND Titan. Something unlikely/ brilliant/ unbelievable/ shareable happens in every single match. That's not easy for a game to do.
Player numbers are depressing, seems to be around 14,000 on PS4 on average. Deserves to be 10 times that.

There is so much truth in these posts.

I'm really loving TF2 as my go to shooter, I really hope December see's the release of Frontier Defense
Concurrent PC numbers also make me sad. It was 5k yesterday.
But attrition games are found in an instant.

When in my titan I sometimes get a message that someone has stuck thermite to me. Is that just someone hitting me with a flaming star or is it something else?
Firestar, yeah

This would be amazing, especially since there's loads of people playing with controller already on PC.

Just played attrition on drydock and could not believe how much camping was going on. They were trying to turn the long corridor area into a meat grinder where teams stand across from each other and just shoot like it's the Civil War era. They were stupid and easy to kill cause they kept going back there but who wants to play titanfall like that? I've not been one to complain about campers but this was really dumb
There also seems to be alot of lag for me on the west coast of the US
When you get comfortable in the MP it's incredibly satisfying and yes it is depressing. Hoping holiday deals help the game sell

I disagree.
It's insane the plays I'm able to do with a mouse vs a controller. The tracking alone of a mouse following someone wallrunning is imense vs a controller.
This is the game where I defend split pools unless they at least give the option for M&KB on the Xbox.
camping has dropped considerably and will continue since people are becoming familiar with the maps. the change to map hack has helped as well.

This game looks so nice on the Pro. Even just playing on a 1080p TV.

I think I just somehow ended up in a match with 5 campers cause the entire team kept going back there and we destroyed them. I haven't complained about camping in this game because aside from the occasional death from campers, they're very easy to deal with on most maps.
Btw have they done anything to the melee? It's seems very unreliable for me lately. Not sure if they did something or if it's just lag
PC matchmaking is starting to get some issues, maybe I should move away from just doing the bounty hunt playlist and do mixtape or something. I ended up being matched against the same people (obviously a full organized team) 3 times in a row. Again. I don't think I saw a living teammate once in two of those matches, one of them I was essentially the only one who got any bounty points. It's too bad literally nobody I know plays this game, and a little funny that Origin happily points this out on the launch page.
Despite the loss train I did have one great moment on crash site. I was waiting on the dropship for evacuation and ended up dooming another Northstar in a 1v1 while taking no damage myself. In his hurry to backpedal away he blocked off a Scorch and a Legion coming up the cramped hallway just enough to buy me time to drop a tether and get away. Not often you can escape successfully with the rest of your team dead and the enemy with a full squad of active titans.
the best part of the extra battery is how much faster it gets you your own titan. Feels like you get half a charge from that. Although a shield on Northstar is very valuable in itself. The only problem I have are teammates that suck so much they never get titans or spread out across the map making themselves unreachable, so I can't use the battery on others as much as I like.

Amazon sent me my preorder promotional code for Preordering Titanfall 2. The only downside was that the code was for BF1?
As you said at least 2 out of the 4 are coming. Respawn are incredible about keeping the game updated. I figure with Angel City a big update will come.
Personally, I've always used the 40mm in R1 with the Ogre body. Tone is just a natural fit for me. For others, she feels comfortable and safe. She can do a bit of everything, but her CQC game is truly horrible.
Yeah, would be cool if they fixed that but I imagine that's too much of a hassle.
Do you have a clip? I'd always use warpfall in R1, but these days giving up the dome shield is too much.

PRO TIP FOR EVERYONE: If someone throws a firestarter at your Titan, use a smoke to negate the damage.

Huh, well fuck, I had no idea the first game had that :lol
Sounds rad, I'd be all in for that.

I Would like Marked for Death to make a return? Nothing is as intense when you see "YOU ARE THE TARGET" come across your screen and then the entire other team is hunting you down.
I'll say it again. It needs its own progression system.
Look at ME3.
Look at Lost Planet 2 (demo).
kthxbye Respawn

I'm not convinced Marked for Death will work in this game... Smart Core, barely anywhere to hide as a Pilot... Maps like fucking Homested...
The Colony was already bad for that mode. I can't imagine it in this game.
Great mode though.

warpfall isn't as good as it was in the first game. i also find bubble shield to be the better option this time around, especially with titans having no shield.

I've never had an issue getting into games, but I always play mixtape. Game is just so much fun. I'm not even bothering with battlefield 1 right now.

Same here /facepalm
While the numbers are not as high as on console, I barely wait longer than 30 sec to find a match or mixtape, attrition or bh.

Look, a pilot! Now the odds are in our favor.
I know the advantages of m&kb over controller and I'd never use a controller myself, but this game has an abnormally high amount of control users on PC, I dunno why but it seems to work for them.
It's either integrate cross play or have a very small player pool going forward. For 99% of FPS games I'd say cross play shouldn't happen, but with how well controller players are doing on PC I don't think it's as big a deal here.

Yeah they added it to the game way later as a free update. The support for the original titanfall was excellent.
Horde Mode would be amazing and I am pretty sure we'll get it eventually
The titans drop pretty quickly anyways so I would rather have the shield
i wouldn't mind seeing cross play between x1 and ps4 at least.
It's the aim assist. I'm not sure if I like the controller support on PC and I'm not sure if cross play is a good idea.
There are two different control methods with their own advantages. There wouldn't be a level playing field, no matter what you do.
