Agreed, the best rush in the MP is being the Last Titan Standing and pulling off the win against more than 1 Titan. I cant help but scream with delight when I have pulled that off.

I was joking, kind of. Lol. Thanks for listening guys, you have a great game and balancing anything can't be an easy job. The good thing about their survey was that a lot of big things were around 50% and a lot seem to be knee jerk. When you learn the systems, nothing is terribly op. Balance is surprisingly great from the get go but small tweaks and adjustments are always great when done right. Thanks again, TF2 is my goty and many others' here as well
The key is SMALL tweaks lol. Gawd forbid they pull a Bungie on us (they never will lol).

Full video here
Edit: I have no idea why, but the share video on my PS4 is missing some seconds on that recording...the first kill with the smart pistol looks edited because of it, never seen this happening before.
Pilots can be so ANNOYING to Titans. Personally, I strive to be as annoying as possible lol.
I use dice roll now, but the only one I don't see a point in is the phase rewind. It just seems so situational.

Interesting, in the tech test the limit was 1k.
Very situational, but just another toy for people to play with I guess.

i wanted to use phase rewind but its too slow, i though it would be as Glitch from BLOPS 3, which was a pretty cool thing to do when you know you are being chased or that you just fucked up your positioning.
God I would double dip my sausage into the Vanguard Collection if this happens.

I can't seem to find a use for phase rewind. It feels like activating it comes out too slow, though I can see it being useful on objective games to throw yourself into the fray and rewind back as a means of scoping out the situation, but it was something that I used in Black Ops 3 for one of the characters. The ability came out instantaneously, which is what I feel would make this ability more beneficial.
Hit gen 3, going back to my classic tried and true R201 and Car for effectiveness. After all this time playing the game, the one thing I still don't really get is how the auto aim of the melee works. I've been far too used to other games that have a generous amount of lunge and sticky aim, so in this case, I tend to whiff my melees far too often and it is frustrating when it happens. Other times, I can pull off the lunge and make the kill. For whatever reason, it feels like jump kicks are more effective.

I think it's the healthiest out of the three, so you're good if you want to pick it up.
Yep, the microtransaction stuff will most likely be skins, camos, etc. Nothing that will affect balance as Respawn has said before.
Same. I play on PS4 and never had issues getting into matches. I play Attrition and Bounty Hunt, in case anyone's curious. There's like 10-12K on PS4 now, and I'm fairly certain it'll climb to at least 15K later and more on weekends.
Seriously, some games don't even get half that and people aren't concerned since they don't see the player counts.
And those curious, PC gets 4-6K, which isn't bad considering Infinite Warfare gets 5-6K as well. http://store.steampowered.com/stats/
As someone who plays a lot of CoD and BF, I agree. There's no sniper spot here that will get you lots of kills (like in BF) or scorestreaks that you want to preserve. There's people camping, yes, but that is a viable strategy believe it or not. Just flank 'em or in my case, I use my fucking big-ass mech to kick their asses.
Man I'm not having fun.
I thought this would be my comeback to competitive FPS since COD4, but I'm overwhelmed.
Mainly playing Attrition. I've got quick enough reflexes to make some kill streaks but I haven't settled into a groove yet where I'm truly Zen/in the zone.
I keep switching between slow paced Sonar Knife with Hemlock to crazy ninja shit Grapple with Alternator.
Haven't unlocked anything but ticks and amped weapons so I default to amp.
Sometimes I feel like engaging Titans is useless and a quick way to get shot at, so I don't even bother equipping anti Titan.
I feel like I'm missing the point of the game.
I felt the same initially. I say, wait until you've unlocked more weapons and boosts. Find what works for you, ask GAF, check YouTube. Once you've found the loadout that suits your play style best, stick with it until you get comfy and then branch out.
Happens to me frequently now. I get teammates that score less than 10 points in an entire match of Attrition. I had a match where two teammates score less than 10, even.

Yeah, run through sp first
On hard

Hard is more like normal but it gives you the freedom to move like a ninja and wreck the ai with the movement system. Boss battles are still to easy on hard but hardest forces you to play more defensively. Hard is best option to get used to the systems

a kill confirmed /headhunter mode might be cool
You can play the single player at like 48% or something. Just a way to have the game run faster.
It only took about 10-12 minutes on my PS4 Pro
Some Respawn folks have posted that Amped Hardpoint is a good way to get used to the game. Attrition might be ok. All of the others are going to be pretty tough.
Pilots vs. Pilots would be good to learn Pilot movement but obviously no Titans are in that mode.

if anything i think we need less modes...maybe throw everything into mixtape excluding one or two modes.

Bumper Jumper is your friend.

This game has one of the best movement systems in weapon feedback (imo) in the genre.
Maybe you need to fiddle with the control schemes?
Also I can not imagine playing a fast paced shooter like this on console :x

So Northstars Stoic Black acquired...
Time to grind some more because reasons. Yay.

Clicked on Data Centers and the list is empty. I play Overwatch all the time so it can't be my connection..can it?
Maybe ask the Respawn guy here in GAF, I have no idea :x
I'm approaching gen 7
- Maps are terrible. complex is complete and utter garbage.
- Reapers, whatever.
- Titan executions seem fine to me, it's just like how it was in the first game.
- Yeah, sometimes the melee with pilots feel off.
- Cloak does indeed need a tweak.
- Northstar is fine for what that titan is supposed to do. i think it's tether should hurt you once it snaps off. Also, maybe increase cluster damage? that could help
- Ronin bigger clip size would do wonders for that Titan
- Tone needs pulse blade not to paint targets, the 40 needs to have a smaller hit box or something.
- There is nothing else to run but low profile, maybe we'll get other perks later?
- I think the stats are coming in the next update.
- Higher tick rate for private matches would be cool
Some of my own minor changes
- Faster strafe speed would be nice
- Lower pilot gLow. i can't believe we're still dealing with this christmas light shit. You can't even see everyones skins. WTF is the point???? seriously WTF IS THE POINT?
- G2a/hemlock range need reductions. Getting popped from across the map in 2 shots by a camping g2a is fucking stupid lol
- Stim needs to recharge faster. i cant' say this enough. i think all mobility tacticals need to recharge faster.
- 8v8 skirmish should also include 8v8 ctf. i think that'd be fun.
- map hack and amped weapons need to increase to about 85% build time.
- i'd like separate aim sensitivity for pilots and titans. i like my pilot to be on very high but i'd love my titan to be on high.
- And of course all modes should be on one page
Tried that but can't get used it, I begin to fumble over the controls.
I think the issue also comes down to the Aim Assist which I can see when the reticle moves, it like decides sometime to not work. Not to mention my momentum just dies at some points. Like I'll jump to a new wall and all my momentum resets.
I struggle with the momentum too but it's a thing you get better at.
You have to connect your walljumps by strafing and crouching on the ground (or something like that
)elite controller and increase your aim sensitivity. the higher the sensitivity the less aim assist.
Agree with most of your points but these guns are 3shot burst/single fire. They need the range. If anything it's SMG that need a range reduction. Hence why 90% of the pop is using them.
i can see where the CAR and Volt could use a slight range reduction as well but they don't kill you in the speed in which the hemlock and g2a do. G2a is fucking absurd. i see people running this in competitive CTF private matches even.
people say "well if you nerf things everyone will be running the 201" yaeh maybe but at least you have a fighting chance of an actual gun dual with someone also running a carbine.
there is no gunplay going up against a g2a. if he see's you and doesn't have complete and utter shit aim you're most likely dead in 2 shots which can happen in a millisecond if he can pull that trigger fast enough.
