Can u tell us if the patch notes will hit before or after November 29th, 11 am EST?
I tried avoiding posting this thinking that it would be fixed in the upcoming patch but roughly 2 weeks after the game launched if I don't press multiplayer in the main menu within 3 seconds of it appearing I will get a message saying "trying to contact respawn servers"
Then the launch button is greyed out and I cannot enter multiplayer
Once I do enter, I am no longer in my network (or any network) and I have to wait roughly 5 minutes for everything to load. Even when my network loaded in and I can see my friend in the network, I cannot use the network invite function for a while until EVERYTHING loads in :\
This didn't happen the first couple of weeks I had the game. I uninstalled and installed the game and was able to immediately load into multiplayer but after the first time I had the loading issue again.
Even after transferring everything to PS4 pro, again the first time it was flawless but then the loading issue happens again.
I assume the patch will fix this but if not well then at least you are aware of it
Just to be clear if I plan to play online by myself I have to wait roughly 30 seconds for my network to load in and then I can join a game, but if I want to do stuff like network invite/friend invite I have to wait up to 5 minutes for everything to load in (stuff like message of the day, number of network members, and even how long until happy hour starts doesn't show) sometimes I will even log in a few minutes before happy hour and it will say "happy hour merits collected today" then after a few minutes it will say "happy hour starts in a few minutes"

Holy hell first 1/2 of my night was great
Pitter patter of decent games, then suddenly the most lopsided bounty hunt game ever (my first RQ)
The next match we lost by one point, and the timer ticked to 0 after I turned a corner to see at least EIGHT BOTS. I was off by like 1 seconds, crazy.
And then I went ham with my mastiff again, and had a crazy game that basically took place entirely in the little square area next to one of the spawns on Eden. Awesome.
I need to start recording my games, pulled off some monster Ion shots

ya know it's kinda funny that tone is the most powerful titan now because she's also by far the most boring one to play as
also does ion laser do more damage the longer you hold it?

The kraber is the same as the first game. It's a hard weapon to master but once you do it's fun as hell and you can actually hold your own and even destroy pub matches.
obviously vs good good players it won't be so viable.
Oh yes the elite is the only way to play this game on console. jump and slide should be on paddles
Yeah, it'd be swell if a separate aim sensitivity was introduced for Titans.

Wow the campaign is really damn good, Im pretty sure I'm towards the end but it's been fun throughout the entire thing so far. Unfortunately it's gonna be over looked by overrated games like uncharted 4 when game of the year awards come out.
truth. it really should get campaign of the year.

Man, some people are just fucking terrible at this game. Let's keep running toward the turret that keeps killing us over and over.
that's the COD mentality.
they're so used to going around corners and shooting things that it doesn't matter how many times they die. they keep doing it over and over. they assume it's natural.
I keep forgetting it's not Overwatch and the TTK is super low, so I need to stop approaching titans from the front. Like I do it constantly.
Just watched Frothy's tier list and Flatline in C tier? The recoil really isnt hard to deal with at all imho, whether it's long or close range. And oh man this thing mows people down in close range; I've lost count of how many multis I've gotten with it. I've been consistent with it throughout, racking up over 700+ kills in the week I've switched over to it. I honestly think it's better than the Volt, and I spent a fair amount of time with that gun as well, with 300+ kills.

Some people also tend to punch them since its one hit knock out instead of wasting bullets. I am one of those people
that sometimes dies cause those things are insanely good at tracking.

Evidently, that is the case. It used to be unlocked later, so it made sense to be difficult to use. Maybe the double zoom levels make up for it? It's a bit faster to reload too, I think. I haven't tried the Longbow DMR yet, which I preferred in the previous game, so maybe I'll prefer that again.

I played for 12 hours today. I have reached gen 10 after 200 hours.
Send help.
You should roll with the Dew crew (tm) if you are playing on PC. Ask Grif about it.

Yes, I was doing fine with Tone (and Legion) when I tried it first, but I can't get myself to use it any more. Ronin and Northstar are so much more fun.
I also tried putting more time into Scorch, it's clearly effective for area damage, but it's too slow for my tastes. Also I'm always worried about setting fire to an area and damaging my teammates.
I also got to love the Hemlock again. For some reason I was terrible with it at launch (while it felt fine in TF1), I was shooting my three bullets everywhere but on target, but now it's deadly again. I even got some kills from across the map that I would consider cheap if I was at the receiving end, the target was barely visible.

After putting in some more hours on PC, I'm finally starting to like this MP.
stilll not quite as fluid at parkour as I was in R1, but it's nice to know that I'm enjoying this game now that I've given it some time.
(now fix Ronin plz krhnxbye)

Man I just bought it on PC and the MP is a ton of fun. Even though I just started and don't know the maps or weapons that well I feel like I'm still contributing to the match in a good way. I was actually surprised how well I did the first games. I just hope people will continue playing it... free map dlc was the only logical choice.
Does the SP help you in any way to understand the weapons and different gadgets better? I will play it anyway but I'm not sure if I should play it first.

Yes, it's a good way to get familiar with the parkour, and it lets you try the different titan types (they only unlock in a specific order throughout the missions). You can also pick all the regular weapons from killed foes. It won't help much for gadgets and anti-titan weapons though.

It mean scorches go great in twos since you can immerse each other in thermite.
Oh, I definitely did. But CTF tourney -> casual play -> stomping with the DEW crew sucked the day away.
Montage 70% done. Delayed due to me playing the game too damn much.

I'm really impressed with this game. Bought the bundle on X1 that includes BF1. Been playing this the most. Haven't dared to join a mp session yet, though. I'm generally not very good at FPS, I tense up :S.
The wall running and jumping element is really well done. It makes you approach the environment differently - and attack differently. Although so far I seem to mostly run up and off the walls to escape. I'm at the level - probably relatively early in the campaign - where I'm about to reunite with the titan, but I have to fend of several waves of enemies first, while some toxic waste is drained or something in order for a door to open so that the titan can enter the area. I keep getting killed by these GoW type explosive crawling drones, though. And I do try to approach every round differently. Maybe someone has a tip for me? It doesn't get repetitive, though. And taking control of the titan is very rewarding.

The Pilot Gauntlet is impossible for me :v I'm too bad at this game.
I wouldn't care except it's the only trophy standing in my way from getting a Platinum.

Nope. It's just a way to delay the shot when the situation needs it.

I've been getting some rubberbanding since the other day, and I have no idea why.
It goes away and then comes back again even if I switch Data Centers.That said, I can sometimes stomach the 200+ms games and I still do quite well, thankfully.
I know people are tired of it, but man, PS4 players already at 18K now and it's super early in the US.
Hope this continues. Respawn really needs a splash/introductory page when the game boots up so they can advertise that "Free DLC" thing, and maybe let the new players know a new map and stuff is coming in this week. Battlefield 1 does it to great effect,I think.
Titanfall 1 had a welcome message on the main screen, don't know where it will fit now with networks but I agree. They should have had it in place at launch to advertise it before CoD and stuff comes out and takes players away imo.
There's still a lot of people that don't know the game has free DLC, even on Neogaf in Titanfall threads you always see people say "Wait, this game has free DLC?".
The first guns unlocked are some of the best in the game and Titans are unlocked very quickly.
Having quicker ADS in Titans and for my G2 will be gawd-like.

I think I did pretty well this round.
Nice job, dude. You did well indeed.
Shhhhh, don't let anyone else know. Muahahaha
WTF. Hasn't this game only been out for 3 weeks? How is that even possible?
1-50 isn't really that hard, especially with liberal use of 2xp codes during Happy Hour. I'm halfway through G4 at 95 hours, so G10 at 200 isn't unreasonable.

I mean you are looking at some of the best players on PC so anything is possible.
Playing well really expedites the leveling process. In COD there is a race every year to 10 prestige.
That's been me all weekend. Like im saying to myself I'm a really going to play it when I've been all over this and recently back into overwatch as well? Probably get BF1 months down the line if I really want it at this point
edit: Just had a hardpoint game where I had my titan twice between half of the team had theres first. Got tripled team both times by the enemy titan. Some situations you honestly can't carry a team if they either won't follow the object and can't even get more titans out on the field for you. It's painful.

Ordnance Expert with Fire Star or Electric Smoke is ridiculously fun.
Group of Spectres or Grunts, toss a smoke and leave them to die in seconds.
Pilot vs Pilot situation, panic Fire Star and watch the world burn.

Thanks for the tips guys!
Cool, I'll experiment with the guns then. I know I couldn't get to grips with the shotgun at least.
I was playing with Ion to start with, will try out tone tonight. Although I just found out about the red baron skin for Ion. FashionFall comes first.
Played the hook first but found myself just hitting the side of buildings so tried out Stim which seems cool but need to learn the best time to use it. Need to try cloak then, I saw a lot of people using it and seems very effective.
Volt I need to rank up for, will check it out when I can. I can't stop jumping into slides at the moment, too much fun! But yeah, I'm not effective with it at all yet.
I've been running into buildings, just hitting it with my titan weapon and throwing grenades for the most part.
