TITANFALL 2 |OT| Don't Misgender Tone.
- Thread starter Joyful
- Start date
Europe/Uk needs to get off COD, that's your problem.
I saw a post on reddit that had me thinking of the worst load out:
- A-Wall
- Devotion
- Sentry turret Boost
Vs
- Cloak
- G2A
- Amped Weapon Boost
Who wins this salt inducing contest?
it's currently the most competitive mode. they need to adjust CTF.

...or you could learn and practice because you start with some of the best weapons and abilities at level 1.

The only gametype I struggle to get a game in is free for all. I played it once during launch week really enjoyed it but can't get another match.

Wha? This weekend had a LOT of new players come in. Not sure what platform you're on, but PS4 regularly had 25-27K players. There's even 8K online now, which isn't bad.
Yeah, go play Titanfall with Titans, ya goofs!
LOL! A-Wall or Cloak, Devotion, Sentry and maybe Tone for the Titan for max cheese.

so the campaign everyone on here has been raving about..
it's not bad but there are a lot of shortcomings that come to mind, especially after having played through Infinite Warfare's campaign, which i enjoyed more..
- it seemed too short. the pacing was off too, like i felt i didn't get a chance to get used to each titan loadout. there also weren't as many boss battles as i expected
- in this game it's about people fighting each other from random planets named Typhon and Harmony, it doesn't really explain who these factions are and why they're killing each other.
It's not like it's Earth vs Mars and i can sort of related to it.
- the environments were nice and fun to navigate though, and that one level where you can
basically, the game reminded me of one of my japanese animes

go back and forth in time like in Singularity, was pretty cool

You are not locked to one Titan loadout, you can switch them on the fly.

I picked this up yesterday for my PC. Loving it so far, enjoying the campaign a lot and I'm not even up to the 'good bits' yet. I definitely have a soft spot for first-person games with smooth traversal mechanics ever since the first Thief The Dark Project. I'm enjoying the campaign's BT Titan banter too so far.
If anyone wants to add me on Origin for when I get into the multiplayer, I'm Anastazius on there. UK based.

Pretty sure this is a network error.
I was on all last night and finding games in seconds. There were 23k players online, too. Hardly sparse...

While "git gud" is a valid forum response, it's not really one that game developers should use for people new to the game.

yeah i know, but the ones near the end can barely be used due to them not being utilized much and the short length of the game.

I don't think it will be much different in Angel City... Rooftops always felt like the natural playground of Titanfall, when running and climbing around that's usually where you end up.
I remember feeling overwhelmed in the first Titanfall since I hadn't played an online FPS since Unreal Tournament, but I don't think it's a bad thing per se. Watching the kill cams from skilled players were the fastest way to learn how to play and not to play, and you had all the grunt killing to relieve the frustration.
I feel you. There's basically no room to use Ronin or Northstar loadouts.
Some sort of replayable New Game+/Arcade Mode/Co-op Horde mode is vastly required.
I'm losing interest, but I think the patch with FoV slider will make me return.
Everytime I think about R2, it just makes me miss the original ;(

Thats not what he is saying. You literally start with awesome gear or very close to unlocking it.
I have been running

CAR / R201
MGL
Arc grenade
Amped weapons
For 95% of my playtime. All the unlocks feel like alternatives rather than improvements. A lot of them also feel really unsuitable for a game about mobility as well (personal shield, turret etc).
Like any shooter you just need to play till you know the maps and are used to the mobility. Then those campers will barely ever anoy you after that.

for somebody on a 1080p tv, how big is the difference between xb1 and ps4 pro for this game?
I think it is that Respawn rated Tone as a 3 difficulty rating. She is by far the easiest Titan to get the mechanics down.

i don't think it counts if you cheat
Massive. 810p-ish vs 1440p downsampled to 1080p.
The Xbone versions drops its dynamic resolution quite frequently while PS4 Pro keeps image quality perfect 100% of the time. Image quality on PS4 Pro is flawless on Titanfall 2.
I used to in the first one, but the Dome Shield is way TOO helpful.
The starting weapons are amazing. You know, no one is good when they start - that's how you get better. The game's matchmaking is perfectly fine. Everyone gets stomped when they start a new shooter; you can't just expect to be good.
"Skilled based matchmaking" is the cancer that killed Destiny pvp and fortunately Respawn is smart enough to not use that. All that matters is the connection, speed of matching and matching parties with parties when possible. In that order.
No it's not. A good Ronin will fuck up the whole team - and I faced one yesterday. I'd rather face a good Tone than a good Ronin with nuclear eject.
The problem is that most people suck as Titans and Tone is easiest to learn.

END GAME SPOILER
I assumed he downloaded himself to the pilots helmet after the ending cut scene?
There's that mission where
BT downloads a portion of his AI into your helmet to keep in contact when your comms are blocked.
i could use your exact personal experience and say the opposite. a good tone fucked up my whole team, and i faced one yesterday. i'd rather face a good ronin than a good tone with Turbo Engine
A good Ronin shouoldn't even be using Nuclear Eject.
There's also an audio tape where a woman mentions
a Vanguard class Titan appearing from nowhere

Yeah I took it that because the helmet 'flashed to life' after the end credits on it's own that BT was still in there. He better bloody be!

I'm a crappy Ronin them. I've made the switch from Tone to change things up and I think I like playing Ronin more than her. In the bounty hunt match I played this morning, I had four titanfalls and two kills with nuclear ejection.

They are tracking your stats, but there is no place to view them yet. I believe the coming-up patch will introduce a section to finally see our stats.
A good "X" will fuck up the whole team
Good players make everything seem OP. For instance, when I started using the G2, I was complete garbo. Now I see the gun's true potential. Coming this week with a huge update.
So played the SP for a short while and it's good fun. Had a little go on the MP and that was also fun, however I've got the similar problem I had with TF1 and that's where I kick ass on the ground but as soon as the titans get called in I can't cope. I'm not a great pilot (haven't lvld up for tone yet) but things just get too chaotic. Any tips?
If anything I feel like the Titans take out a bit of momentum and slow the game down.
Keep a good look at your Radar it's a lifesaver, enemy Pilots are big dots, Titans are Wedges.
If you're on foot use your special to traverse bigger areas against Titans.
Do not engage from the front, try to sneak up and steal a battery if possible.

So are we getting a trailer for the Update today? (Or at all?)
Titan combat (my favorite actually) is all about positioning and understand the weakness of your weapon/abilities. I would say that positioning is number one. If you even smell the possibility of fighting two titans at once, just run away. If you have a pilot and Titan attacking you, run away. Always strive to strike from behind or have clean 1v1s.
Some basic advice for you.
I think it's partly because I go in guns blazing at the start that I don't change my playstyle once the titans come in. Need to be a bit more patient but I will try traversing more and being less gung ho, thanks.
It's crazy because the first game had such a huge amount of stats being tracked in game.
On the topic of campaign, I enjoyed it, but I didn't love it as much as others. It really only picked up halfway through for me, that's when it got interesting. It was fun, but Wolfenstein is still top for me. Have yet to play Doom though.

In addition to this, I see a lot of new players drop their Titans in the middle of the map's lanes during massive firefights (maybe hoping for a Titanfall kill). Don't do this. It's always better to call your Titan in a safe spot for you to board and then flank enemies.
I'm still using the first assault rifle in the game, damage doesn't change with level. I used some of the Credits to unlock a different Titan early just because, but I could have waited.
