The beauty of this game is that people can use whatever they're comfortable with and make it work.

Does it though? I tried combining the EPG-1 with the gravity star because it seemed like an ideal combination. The gravity star just ate the projectiles and they didn't explode.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
I'm probably biased because I'm an Alternator whore but the other guns just seem much better and far more effective than LMGs when it comes to Pilot combat. jmo of course, to each their own
The best gun in the game, Devotion, is an LMG.
We should all team up and play. Been playing solo way too much.

My opinion on Ronin changed once I started using the extra battery pack boost - it's a real game changer for Ronin. Also, equip the extra electric smoke as well as the double arcwave. Pick your fights and don't just engage in Titan battles head-on, it's all about sneaking around and getting close enough to start doing serious damage. Phase out when you need to reload, dash around slower Titans and use your electric smoke, arcwave and broadsword to disrupt a lot of players. I have a couple of videos I put together with Ronin if you wanna see how I play:

Hipfiring with the Alternator is amazing, and I think that's why I keep using it.

Not a fan of randos that keep rushing their titans into 2 or more enemy titans because they see one in doomed state and are thirsty to steal a kill. Not only does it give the enemy free points and often can be the deciding factor in attrition but it leaves me with way fewer titan kills at the end
Yep, hipfire allows me to play this game like the space ninja that I am.
Yeah losing an attrition match with 30 seconds left because of Rambo Randos (TM) is super frustrating. I try to kill as many Titans as possible, but one person can only do so much lol.

Tone is good but mainly because the regular shot is good against pilots I don't find tone great against titans I play legion alot now and at long distance using cover legion is great as you can snipe Titan heads . The charge shot disintegrates pilots . I could see tone being good one on one in close but I don't play that

Are you on PS4? I always play solo and I win about 4 out of 5 games. I do always try to team up on the GAF Network page but nobody ever joins.
I mentioned this earlier but I'm on PC and I generally stick to Bounty Hunt. It's easy to tell when you're going up against a party because you end up playing against them multiple times in a row (there's usually only about 300 in that playlist).
I'll try using one of the larger playlists and see if that helps. And yeah I've gotten exactly one GAF group going, for one round. The Giantbomb network has groups going all the time but that network is so massive you might as well play with randoms.
Great videos. After I get Tone to G10 I'm definitely go to see if I can master Ronin, seems like a great high skill high reward Titan.
I've never used Auto Sprint because I feel like it takes control away from my character.

I wish we could actually see our stats in multiplayer. I now realize I take this for granted in every other game. Things like all time Win/Lose ration, kills, deaths, accuracy, etc. I can only see the amount of Kills and Wins right now.

So are people still enjoying this game? I thought it would be months before I jumped in if ever, but for $27 a game rated this highly is worth a shot.
Applesauce
Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Where?
There's too many things that piss me off in this game to bother playing it long term. Map hack, even after the nerf is still really good, sonar is fucking everywhere, from Tone to the pilots, especially on Hardpoint, cloak is just obnoxious, same with phase shift, shitty maps, shitty debris in the maps which bring to a halt any wall running.
I'm gonna give the 10 hour BF1 trial a go, or just play more Overwatch.

Yeah, where? I'd buy the PS4 version at that price.
Titanfall doesn't seem like the game for you. Everything you mentioned is nowhere close to being obnoxious. Really depends on your playstyle.

This game went from not even being on my radar to being my favorite MP shooter of the year. Its all I wanna play now.
Yeah I guess, it doesn't matter what game it is, wall hacks and invisibility are always obnoxious in MP
Broadbandito

Well the nice thing is anyone can use them and there is a counter called "radar jammer"
Invisibility sometimes gets annoying but as long as you are paying attention you can see the player silhouette.

I didn't Know that factions also reset after regen. Should stay unlocked imo
In the first game invisibility wasn't an issue for me but in TF2, I'm having a hard time seeing players when invisible. In the first game I thought it was mostly a tool against titans since they couldn't see you when invisible.

Wow do all the wall hacks just need to die in a fire. Every 30 seconds...a map hack or sonar knife thing. Lame.
Kinda funny, this game does sometimes piss me off so much that I have to go boot up Overwatch for a bit. I can put up with a lot of bullshit. But I draw the line at players I just killed spawning back in behind me, only to send me on a 'hey let's spawn this guy in between 3 camping enemy titans' death train from $450 to penniless in Bounty Hunt.

Somebody bought me a flat(!) of Mountain Dew as a joke after I told him how stupid I thought the whole junk food tie-ins were for TitanFall 2.
How do I use the EXP boosts? I've entered one code (so help me), but I'm not sure how to turn it on?
Also, how do you execute pilots? In Halo 5, you hold the melee button. I tried the same on an enemy that was on a roof sniping in the other direction, but no sale. Just kicked him.

All they need to do is introduce a new boost that makes you invisible to them [until death], no?

I feel ashamed knowing this but when you start a match, the double XP prompt will pop up. You can choose to use it for one match whenever you want until you use them all up
Some epic clips and music on the most recent video. Nice job!

I want to be like you when I grow up.
Yes. Radar Jammer should be that boost. Such a simple fix. I can handle just the invisibility easily, but the wallhacks as well just kills the mood.

It's real easy to miss but in the Choose Loadout section at the start of a map, in the bottom right is a prompt to 'use' an XP Booster. I forget to do it every time.

How?!! I thought $27 was a steal.
I don't get why it needs to be there to begin with. Does anyone actually enjoy being seen through walls or seeing enemies through walls? It's too good not to use, but it's not satisfying to use.
I use Tone for the 40mm, but holy shit I might as well be actually cheating with that wall hack. It's so dumb that it outweighs all of the concerns I had prior to release.
I don't personally like the idea of basically another auto-pick loadout option that I would just roll with each match.
I am more okay with pulse blade lately. Stim, cloak, phase shift, a-wall are all really strong so you're giving up a lot of power for it. It would be nice to be able to physically see the blade at the center of the pulse and be able to shoot and destroy it, or something. I think it is bigger problem in a mode like Amped Hardpoint but until they change the whole amping thing I'm never touching this mode anyway.
I haven't seen Map Hack nearly as much lately, and even if I still don't like it at all, the nerf really did seem to help there. Even when it is being used by multiple people on the team, you're not being 100% exposed like before since it blips you which makes movement viable during it.
The biggest issue is Tone still. Tone's wallhack on such a short timer SHOULD NOT show pilots. Have it be exclusively Titan focused, mark titans and reapers and give a mark, nothing else. She destroys pilots with the 40mm already, it just gets overbearing when you're inside a building and marked as it makes peaking impossible so you need to sit there and wait it out--and this doesn't just help Tone, any other pilot and titan is watching you too. Yet half the time you're marked it's the side effect of her just marking randomly or trying to get a Titan. Which is doubly frustrating because due to the ebb and flow of the game, Pilots are frequently around Titan fights, yet Tone punishes this as a natural side effect of her standard gameplan.
