I don't have this issue. Generally there a few on Homestead, but nothing that a well placed grenade can't handle.
Turrets are dumb. However, unless they have unlimited range 1 won't cover most of the map. Angel City isn't a small map in my book. Cloak may be problematic, but that's cloak in general.

It's Thanksgiving, and all I wanna do is play more Titanfall... I sorta wish I had a console I could travel with now.
That said, some people I were playing with were having issues and they were in Illinois and Washington.
Oh, so those horrible lag spikes I was getting on Tuesday evening were a known issue in SoCal? It felt like I was moving through molasses with how bad it was.

There's a ton of us on PC! Join TitanGAF and see the second post for links to a couple Discord servers to hook up with other GAF players.
I doubt it. If they don't add any out of bounds areas, I can't think of a single spot in Angel City where you could place a turret and not flank it easily. I'm more concerned about Pilot on Titan combat, as Titans needed the regenerating shields to deal with all the AT damage coming from the rooftops in that map. The new MGL's gonna be a serious pain to deal with there.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Turrets are useless to me on the current maps and I can't ever recall getting killed by one. One melee shot and they're done. On Angel City the LOS is so easily obstructed if you know the map so I doubt turrets will ever be a problem here.

Thanks, iI may grab this later if it's still available.
Don't put words in my mouth!
I do hope Angel City plays as good as 1, I really do, but I'm sceptical about it now. When your thoughts when playing the game becomes "how do I avoid this guy and his turret and flank him?" it's just not fun to me and hurts the flow of the game. It's not hard and turrets aren't necessarily OP it's just not fun to play against.

It's not like there's turrets in every game.
It happens once in a while that someone plants one turret on a really good spot.
Most of them just sit around in the field and can be one-punch-man'd from behind
Honestly, it's not really much of a problem (at least in games I've been in) because as soon as titans come out and map hacks start being thrown around, the last thing you want to be is stationary.

i dont feel camping is that much of an issue. let him camp. sure he will have maybe a good k/d but he will be useless for their team for the most part.
a whole team of campers is another story though. fuck them.

I was kidding
As I wrote a few posts above, I second this.

Happens a lot on gaf, never let them hype you. Different strokes.
Initially I had the same feeling but after finishing it (and the last missons are so so well done IMO) and looking back - there wasn't many games that have done a campaign so well, fluid and perfectly paced in ages.
Doom was very good as well but a drag later on (imo).

Whoa!
Just played a random match with Drift0r from Youtube
Guess he gave up on Infinite Warfare

Volt >>>> CAR :3
CAR recoil pattern is shit
No argument with devotion ? The other day I had an enhanced g2, and was outsniped by a Car on Dry dock from across the map .... and then in the same game ran into it in the hallway, and first hit it killed me.
I don't use considered "OP weapons" so I have not touched the devotion for longer times :/
It seems to be the FOTM at the moment so I wont use it until it's adjusted.
Also Alternator rips in CCQ
You must have done something wrong or missed. I review all killcams to analyze my mistakes.

Are they coming today?
Ill be honest, it's one of the biggest things Im waiting for before purchasing. Here a lot of praise, but also a lot of complaints on camping due to radar/wall hack boosts and camo, OP Titans killing the variety, etc.
Seems the game needs a number of balance changes that could have been helpful to poll during the alpha demo.
Realistically, how many MP maps do you guys think this game will get? 4?
Will they be more remakes of classics, or more maps designed like the vanilla TF2 maps?
In some modes, but they're essential for those modes. Why would it be a deal breaker?

There is in a few game modes, there are also game modes that don't have any at all.
However, I was once like you in that regard, and I tried out Attrition anyway (game mode with bots alongside players) and it changed my mind about them. It's literally the only game mode I play now. It's not like a bot in csgo or like you're used to, it's much more different.

Don't overreact.
There are barely any campers in the games I play, people who complain usually are just more vocal.
Buy the game, make your own asumptions and have fun.
There are several modes with AI in it which are there to complete the objective.
You're part of a bigger battle between two fractions essentially.
Hated how I would be killing NPCs when I played TF1 and would hardly see any players.
Feels cheap getting NPC kills. I prefer online games being human only.
I also dislike NPCs in CS GO.

For the most part, non-existent.
The only thing I've noticed is some players over reliance on "sentry turrets".
To be honest, I don't know why they're even in the game. They don't encourage movement, they encourage taking cover and sniping from afar. They're quite easy to kill with secondary weapons but they're still a little boring.

The matchmaking for Titanfall 2 has been adjusted so that it shouldn't put you in games late enough in progress that it would have triggered the match loss protection functionality from the first game. This can still happen in a small window theoretically, but at that point the "You've joined a losing match late in progress. A loss will not be recorded against you" message should show.
Unfortunately since the situation is a lot rarer people think we removed the functionality. We will probably make adjustments to this in the future.

This isn't true. I'm regularly sniped out of the air when only visible for a mere moment while moving fast. Talking with a Respawn dev, it seems there might be an issue with the turret AI such that it doesn't 'forget' you on losing line of sight and will then reacquire you instantly. There's definitely some kind of issue at play. Hell, I've been goosed by the damn thing while directly above it.
Fuck using a sentry turrent like that, i pop it on one side of the map with a good vantage point while I haul ass over to the other and clean up. Also having it on approach to the banks in Bounty Hunt leads to huge profits.
Hardly see any players?
That's odd.
The Ai usually spawns at hot-spots where most players hang out so you can constantly shift between both.
It's nothing like bots in CS GO tho, they are easily spotted and can be hacked or used as a kind of booster for your Titan or little points in Attrition.
Only Bounty Hunt actively requieres you to kill AI in order to gain money which you then bank in.
It's an awesome idea IMO and I really really enjoy this mix of AI and PvP

Id still like to wait for patch notes to see how responsive Respawn is to what I see are persistent criticisms on Reddit and GAF. Tone seems to be the favourite Titan pick, and a number of others seem to swear by Camo or Radar boosts.
People use different stuff.
Theres a ton of Tones in some matches but yesterday I haven't encountered more than 2.
Also cloak is bar far the most overreacted Pilot pack out there.
Stim, Phase Shift etc. are way better IMO and I barely see myself using Cloak except for some weapon types.
So don't generalize because 5 people on Gaf tell you "xyz is common" - it is NOT
If anything the AI spawns are where you're almost guarenteed to find other players.
I was seeing a lot more Legions and Ronins yesterday. Tone has issues in close quarters maps like Crash Site. But on Homestead and Exoplanet she can really fuck your life up. When there is room to backpedal and dash strafe with Tone you can just chew away at any other titan until you get Salvo Core and then it's over. I have seen some pretty effective Ronins close the gaps, though.
In tight maps I very much dislike going up against Legion.

In LTS sure, but there other modes are all tone all day. Tone has the best anti pilot weapon at any range (thanks to the 40mm now requiring almost no precision whatsoever to land direct hits) and she can use her core faster than every other Titan except maybe scorch without giving up her defensive edge with particle wall.
I play Attrition 90% of the time, so...
Sure there is more Tones, but yesterday I was ripping them apart with a team mate, we both were Northstars
And I've seen 2 Scorches, 1 Ronin... etc.
It's getting better IMO
