Yeah, you can absolutely dominate as Ronin, but it feels awful to execute a perfect flank, stun someone with arc, then unload into them for .4 seconds before you're out of ammo and fleeing for your life. You need at least sentient teammates to provide some semblance of a distraction.

All Titans are slow turds and the slow Dash recharge doesn't help.

Does the Arcwave actually stun or just slow them down a bit? If so, for how long? It never feels like I actually get it off or the stun is over almost instantly.

Sorry if this is off topic slightly but I'm getting a Pro later today and want to pick up either Titanfall 2 or Watch Dogs 2. Can anyone here with both games say which would be a better purchase right now?

Slows them down
The people in here will def. tell you Titanfall 2.
Both games are totally different so... We don't know what your preferences are.
TF2 looks amazing on PS4 Pro, it has one of the best feels and campaign of any shooter to date (imo) and the multiplayer is addicting.

Beat the campaign. Had a great time.
Time for some multiplayer!

Yeah I feel to go with Titanfall 2, it's got the better overall reception plus I want to play a game that handles well mechanically. Open world games don't normally provide that.
How many hours is the campaign by the way?
If you play on hard it's ~5-6h
So much exaggeration bro. Pilot vs Pilot is not Titanfall and the game shouldn't be balanced around what happens there. I know you're good at the game, but that post is all hyperbole.
The last thing this game needs is nerfing that will ruin other people's fun. We need more updates and game features. Camping is so irrelevant outside of PvP (which most people don't play).
If you walk up behind someone and arc them in the back, you have the weekend to shoot them. Some people will dash away, but legions will always fucking slooooooowly rotate to try and keep shooting. Just strafe the other direction and keep unloading. The two arc perks seems mandatory. It's kind of disappointing, but most of the perks in the game have one good option and then total trash.
I honestly feel like they do too much damage. You can seriously melt a Titan very quickly with that gun.
Most Titan-Pilots react accordingly so I barely have time to shoot more than one magazine.
I don't know - I feel like the damage is okay, because the weapon reloads AGES and has like 4(or 6??) shots only.
The range makes it kinda hard to use too.
Nah it's just pilot helms and no extra difficulty. There is a master difficulty unlocked from the beginning which gives you an achievement but that's it really, Master is really hard. It will probably take about 8-9+ hours on Master.
I only said to play on Hard cause most people jump straight into the default which is normal, which is far too easy. But if you want to go balls in there's Master difficulty
IT HAS TO BE CHANGED
I dont mind it OP. Not what I would have picked but there are tons way worse than this on gaf.
They feel weak sometimes, but yeah, do a surprising amount of damage. If two or three pilots decide your titan is dead, it's dead in no time.
I think this would be instance where cloak makes a huge difference taking out a titan with the MLG. If you arent looking right at them when they are shooting it will take a bit to find them.
Now wait until you unlock "your" weapon and "your" pilot <3
What were you doing lol?

It's those huge, fast shots, isn't it? I believe someone earlier in this thread described them as school buses. It's like easy mode coming from Northstar's slow, no splash shots.

Anyone else think the multiplayer mode select screen is a bit awkward? They should really make it just ONE page. Maybe they can also have different playlists? Split the mixtape up maybe?
Does anyone know if queueing for mixtape just puts you together with people queueing for mixtape? I feel like that would just split the player base for no reason.

Subete no aware
I assume it dumps you into queues for the other games, since the max for mix tape is 5 because of LTS.

Vortex shield eats Arc wave? How? Its traveling by ground
Not true. A bad "titanfall" player can be good at pilot v pilot COD style by just equipping cloak. A good player with cloak just runs the fucking table.
It's annoying because it's not Titanfall. You shouldn't succeed in this game by sitting back cloaked shooting people across the map.

Yep. I mean, I get to play with and against newbie players (I gather they're new due to their player patch) that score like 20 or less in one entire match of Attrition. I get annoyed since I score 100+ and we still lose, but I try to understand that doing that poorly must not be that enjoyable for them.
Yep, I agree. I usually rage a lot when it comes to BF games since some dipshit always doesn't give ammo, meds, etc. Like, sometimes I feel they do it intentionally just to be an ass. In TF2, even if we get stomped, at least I have fun and I find that my rage is kept mostly in check.
Sent a request in for another TF2 interview with Respawn. Hope EA PR plays nice.
Pilot vs Pilot is not Titanfall.
Yup, I've definitely used the school bus phrasing. Tone is the Hanzo of this game. Fuck aiming. Curving shots with large aoe and lock on negates the need for that type of shit.

I love them all . Having a lot of fun with thunderbolt atm
but it can be. considering CTF on console is mainly pilot v pilot now with no bots and barely (if at all) titans there's no reason pilot v pilot can't be more like true Titanfall gameplay.
at the end of the day the number 1 factor holding this game back are the maps but cloak needs to be fucking adjusted. it's far too powerful especially with the maps being like this.
i know i defended the "clear lanes" map design philosophy because i thought maybe they'd just be more like the somewhat lane maps from the first game but they're not. They're straight up COD type bottleneck bullshit. it's dreadful. games start out with two teams meeting at the center and just gunning it out behind shit. sigh.

Just got through playing some of this on my Pro as finally got around to installing the new HD and transferring the data. Must say that the game does look insanely good and runs great.
Do fully understand now what Titanfall fans mean by saying how original the movement mechanics felt as all the wall running and other stuff flow so well together and easy to do its fantastic. Really does add to the experience a lot.
Great game, a shame it got sandwiched between 2 other titles. D:

Cloak is fine, it's just being a nuisance to you and you're taking it out here. We've all been frustrated before, but let's not get an ability people like ruined.
What I miss about the old days is that games came out and people got used to it. Halo CE would have had the pistol nerfed so fast in today's environment. Something has to be legitimately broken for me to ask for nerfs. In general, I just get used to whatever I have to and figure out ways to succeed.
My suggestion for a Tone nerf would be forcing the projectiles to only crit when the bullet hits the critical spot, instead of the explosion counting as well. Crits feel too plentiful when I shoot without ADSing, and I suspect this is a factor
Cloak is annoying, but I can still see them when using smart pistol so *shrug*. I wouldn't mind a cloak nerf when they are taking fire, its very easy to lose sight of a cloaked player mid-fight when using some of the midrange weapons. Duration is fine for the most part imo, but I suspect I'm in the minority with this opinion
Is the Electric Smoke grenade the worst one? It seems very hard to use well in its current state, and in 90% of cases I'd rather be Firestar'ing a titan

are you playing a lot of pilot v pilot? it's starting to become half the tacticals people are using.
that's fucking absurd. it has nothing to do with it being a nuisance
No, I only play Attrition solo lol.
Bungie nerfed popular weapons/abilities too. And Destiny PVP is in a shitty state now. PVP is a different beast compared to normal Titanfalll - it's inherently slower and campier.
Basically. It's the same shit as map hack. Honestly, I don't think anyone even equips it for dealing with titans, its intended purpose. People use it to try and get easy pilot kills because they're struggling to keep up otherwise. Not only does it dumb down the game, it makes it more boring.

Well, Im sticking with the Volt now lol
I just can't get down with the volt. Feels weird for me lol.

so leveling... how is everyone doing it? I just level random crap randomly. Still have not found my weapon of choice. I do know that I have more fun with the stupid grappling hook than cloak.
Forever a newb.

I was the same until I unlocked sprint run + faster ADS, it completely transformed the weapon for me. You can approach any firefight while wallrunning and get the kill faster than someone on the ground, while still having long range encounters covered with ADS
Oddly enough, I find the weapon to be much more reliable shooting from the hip than I do ADS. The shots pretty much shoot on the dot. You can get pretty long range against people like this.

I just had my first game where I "got" how to use the Volt and it's beautiful.
Try it until level 5 (if you're past that then disregard!)
Just play with what you like and level that
Oh yeah, SMGS are definitely meant for hipfire, but the gun just feels weird to me. Don't like how it shoots haha. Sometimes my tastes are very peculiar.
But the tactikill though!
Gave it 2 hours of game time. For the SMGs I am now all Alternator lol.
