I got one of those awesome Call sign banners from an advocate gift but the match lagged out and got rid of it? Like if I look at my tag on the community select screen it shows it but my own banner is different :/

Winning or extracting.

Also, another random thing to bitch about - executions shouldn't make you invincible. If you do it, you should pay a price if you are surrounded by other players/Titans.

Can we talk about how shit the credits sequence is in this game?

It's so fucking cheesey, and damn the main characters face looks so dumb the whole time. Glad it's an FPS. That idiots mug would put me right off if I had to look at it for more than a couple of minutes.

Unlike the DOOM sequence...which was awesome.

Haven't played DOOM yet, but I loved T2's credits, cheese and all. All the slow-mo clapping and shoulder patting was hilarious. The baddie line up was my favourite part.
Except you're right, Cooper does look like a chump.

The main thing I don't like about the credits is that you can't skip them. This sort of thing is especially annoying for short games that I know I'll be replaying a lot. Thankfully I have the console version, so at least it's easy to just let them play and do something else.

WTF is it with the matchmaking in the game? Got complex each time, in 3 different regions.

Can't get away from that shitty map.

wow.. just as dead as Titanfall. anyone thinking about buying the PC version avoid paying full price.

It's already been heavily discount at places like Amazon and Walmart for $30. It'll be $28 again on Black Friday at Walmart. Definitely need more players on PC. EA needs to give a free weekend of play or something.

even with free weekends and a heavy discount i still think it will be dead in 2-3 months. i cant put my finger on it but everything about the multiplayer feels.. wrong? i wouldn't be sad to see Titanfall 3 just sticking with single player.

the single player is on another level.

I disagree wholeheartedly on the multiplayer "feeling wrong."

It feels so right to me, you can chain movement together just like I want, it's got everything from TF1 save for Frontier Defense and the more general Light/Mid/Heavy Titan general loadout.

Yes, they replaced the Titans with more "specialist" Titans, but change is not always a bad thing. I can identify what a Titan can do from its outline now, similarly I can tell what a pilot might do based on their appearance. I think that's a good thing.

Can you put into words what doesn't feel right?

You'll be fine. Just don't be in places where you need to ADS quickly. Stay at range or in the close range parts of the map. If you're not using the perk for faster ads, you should use that too. It makes a big difference considering the near instant TTK in this. Alternator is hip fire headshots from like a block away if you want a non shotgun weapon. Cloak spam gives you a solid jump on people in a lot of cases. Lots of options if you're willing to change things up.
Click to expand...

Thanks!
Alternator + Cloak is helping, totally.
I still RUN towards enemy Titans way too much. 80% of the time, the rodeo ends in death due to the electric storm thing.
I wish I could jump off before that defense hit OR at least get a bit of a credit for trying.

Maybe I should try the grapple again

I'm enjoying the Flatline way more now that I figured out how to use it effectively. It's terrible if you fire continuously, but short bursts work really well.
TimeEffect said:
How long are you willing to wait? If we're getting 1 map in December... that's like 2 months after release, and maybe another map in another 2 months...

It doesnt seem realistically possible for them to work on releasing 3-4 maps at once.
Click to expand...
Except all those maps were done before in the same engine? I don't think porting them over would be all too hard. We don't know what else is coming in December, it could be more than one map, or a new gamemode, or a new Titan.
Vincent Alexander said:
I haven't made the switch yet. What do you like about Volt above Alternator?
Click to expand...
They're both really good, but the Volt does way better at mid/long range while only performing slightly worse at close range.

Glad to see you finally agree with the tech test impressions lol
Click to expand...

about the maps? sure i'll concede that however everything else not so much.

  • Movement is still as solid as the first game and in some instances better
  • Gun play is just as good
  • Titan play is as good or better
  • Gun variety is better

Though i'm undecided on CTF. Where as CTF was the best mode in the original game by far in this one it's not as good. Public CTF matches in this game is not working for me, yet. Not sure what it is but it's not as good by a long shot. Maybe it's the low population? maybe it's the horrible matchmaking? Or the maps but something is definitely off with CTF.

I think they stealth nerfed the Alternator. Maybe I am crazy, but it definitely feels weaker.
Click to expand...

Nah. I've felt the same for a few days now...

I felt the same about the Mozambique tho too which seemed much less likely to get nerfed tho. I wonder if it's just a general hipfire nerf or maybe just hit reg. instead. Idk something feels off to me too.

I've turned away after so many shots now thinking I have kills confirmed only to find the bullets completey miss

Did Origin reset anyone else's settings? All my command line options are gone, notification settings are back to default, and the Origin overlay reenabled itself for some reason.

A hipfire nerf would be atrocious for this game.

I spent my first 100 merits to unlock Flatline and it's mid Gen2 now and i'm loving it and i followed same logic and spent my second 100 merits to R-97 and boy IT IS AWFUL.Like i don't understand it's purpose it has this crazy recoil and even hipfire not feel right.Car and Volt blow that thing out of water.

You can still be very successful with the shotguns.

I'd rather play at range. The DMR was my weapon of choice in TF1, I tried to use it in TF2 but had trouble being effective with it. This is probably due to the maps' lack of verticality. I still use the DMR, but the G2 is my go to weapon now and I'm usually up near or at the top.

Yeah, it's terrible. I'm in the process of leveling it up and regen and all and I'm having the hardest time. It's crap at range, less accurate than the Volt and all it has going for it is the fast fire rate.

This is contradictory of what's being said by everyone (press, GAF, Reddit, YouTubers, etc.) and I think is one of the few times I've seen it here on GAF. Not saying you're wrong, but what makes you think it feels "wrong?" Gunplay? Titan play? You're not doing well hence it's "wrong" (I really hope not)?

And there'd be no TF3 if there was no MP.

I have no clue what the PC player population is, but some here play on PC and can find matches rather fast (mostly for Attrition and Bounty most likely). I play on PS4 and before I logged out a few hours ago, there were 12K players online. Definitely not dead on consoles. With Black Friday, Christmas and a huge push due to this game being nominated by a lot of pubs for Game of the Year and Shooter of the Year, the mindshare should only get bigger.

I'm honestly getting tired of reading doom 'n' gloom posts (not yours specifically), especially since some of them are misinformed.

Don't understand this at all. In fact, this game feels so right that it makes every other fps feel wrong. This game has ruined BF1 for me and even dishonored 2 , to an extent. If i can still find tlou matches consistently , this should be okay. Can't wait for the free dlc

Last 3 nights I've went online to play happy hour and the servers have been crazy. I keep freezing in place and can't move. Played one match and happened to me 4 times. It's so disorienting and just makes the game unplayable for me.

I do love this game but the more I play it (I'm level 47) the more I wish the game was more like TF1.

Things probably aren't great between Respawn and EA.

Poor Respawn ��

Such a great game being sent out to die.
Click to expand...

Do people even read stuff or just the headline? Here's what Zampella said (complete context).


Will you make another Titanfall game?
We don't know yet. The game is, critically, a huge success. We're really happy with all the reviews and the positive sentiment. Sales, it's too early to tell. We'd definitely like to tell more of the story and the universe. I think it's pretty safe to assume that we'll explore more of it. EA might have announced more. Devin?

[Devin Bennett, a publicist for Electronic Arts, interjects, "What we've said is we're committed to the franchise."]
So, whatever the fuck that means.
Click to expand...

In short: Zampella commented that "fuck" thing regarding EA's vague PR-laced answer regarding future Titanfall games. He wasn't saying fuck EA, or anything of the sort.

I really like Amped Hardpoint and seem to do much better score-wise in that mode than any other (usually lead my team) but boy does it go to shit once the Titans start dropping.

I had 3 games in a row where we had a healthy lead and just had to manage two points for a few more minutes but nooooo, everyone on my team starts calling in Titans and just trotting around doing fuck-all instead of defending/attacking the points. Lost all three games.

Am I the only person who just calls in my Titan and puts it in Guard Mode?

I was just trying to snipe a pilot off a friendly titan's back and no matter what I did he took no damage. Ran up and punched him and he teleported off, only to start climbing up again. Took about 4 more shots before one of them finally registered.

Tried playing with the EPG-1 again and quickly remembered why I don't do that. Literally just watched my projectile vanish a millimeter from someone's face. Does it despawn your projectiles on death on consoles too? Why the hell does it do that?

Bought the game yesterday from the Walmart sale, and 15 hours later, I'm feeling the same sense of dizzying love that Modern Warfare gave me when I first played it. The maps don't feel as solid as the first game, and I don't really like Attrition or Bounty modes, but it feels so freakin' cool. And the customization options are so ace! Right up there for my Game of the year!

I gotta say, TF1 never really "clicked" with me, but I think this is my game of this gen. The game play just feels totally right, matches load super quick, it's cool to unlock different things after almost every match, and I'm having a blast. I haven't had just plain fun with a game this much in a long time. I hope the sales prices give this game a huge push during the holidays and get alot of people in the game. Respawn did damn good.

This is one of the few games where you'll have a completely awful round but don't get mad and want to stop playing, you just learn your lesson and keep playing.

Back in and out of the amp zone to scrape some easy 2 points. I'm surprised it lets you do that.

In Hardpoint mode that may be ok. But in other mode it is not cool because it is free points for the other team.


BTW I think someone needs to write up a definitive guide to the scoring system in TF2. Because I think there is alot of confusion about how to "win" in the various modes.

I would say 60% of the players I have played with have no clue. Its not that they just suck. They dont understand what they are doing wrong score wise. And actually do more harm to thier own team than good.

Just got it and started playing. My god, I have no idea what I'm doing, it feels so damn weird and I'm getting steamrolled.

I remember playing just fine by myself in 1, do I absolutely need to play with other people in this one? Because I'm suspecting it's filled with "best friends with mics" commandos all over.
