Boom! Bitch-slapped!
I just paid the 300 credits for it, no regrets.

I wonder if you can shoot an enemy Pilot during the Phase Shift execution, like with the current executions. It's the reason why I never execute enemies; if someone else finds me during it, I'm guaranteed to die.
Style > efficiency.
That said, I've only been killed once during an execution and execute often.

I've never seen the Flying Knee or 2-2-3 combo one or whatever, wonder what they look like

I only spent 300 on the gun one, but looked up the others. They are nothing special - waiting to unlock through gift. Not worth the 300.
Phase shift I'm buying right away, though.
So I kinda went beast mode when I played last night on Eden...

When you play a match with no deaths it feels so great and just like a trailer for the game.
I've started loving the L-STAR, it's a lot of fun to just melt people while it sounds and looks menacing. I pair it with the Mozambique for double awesome projectile fun.
Also this happened
Gravity Star pulled my shots around corner and got a kill. So many awesome things can happen in this game.

When you level up and get an unlock you already have you should get an advocate gift or at least credits. Just.... something
Phase shift execution is bullshit. If it was realistic the pilot who is executing should die.
Fix Ronin respawn!
As a Pilot the phase-shifted Pilot dies!
Great idea that would add to the quality of life.
they're good for pilot v pilot and at the start of matches before the titans come out.
Man looking at the details, these are fucking brutal. Straight up Mortal Kombat fatalities lol. See the pilot bracing when he gets an Laser Core to the face? Blood and guts in the phase shift execution.
I have a few ideas for Scorch executions similar to Sub Zeros Ice Grenades fatalities.
- Punches the Titan and knocks him back
- Scorch takes out a thermite canister and punches straight into the pilot cockpit leaving with the gas engulfing the entire Titan.
- Pilot tries to get out
- Scorch uses his fire shield and the canister explodes destroying everything.

I think frags are awesome in this game. Coliseum really hammers home the Phase Shift + cook technique, and I've had good success with it in regular matches as well.

That's a good comparison really. The constant inventiveness and whatnot definitely reminds me of Nintendo games.
Nice, this game has a way of rewarding a player that's improving their skill.
I finished the single player campaign yesterday and you guys weren't kidding this game is awesome, i didn't care for the story or the characters one bit though but the gameplay was absolutely amazing, I'm not a big fan of the multiplayer though too chaotic for me.
Definitively picking up the sequel whenever that comes out.
plus overwatch keeps calling my name

It really does. I played with Tone until G10 because I'm such a big fan of the 40mm, but I forced myself to switch because the other Titans deserve attention too. It felt bad at first, it felt like I was losing games quite a lot, but after I got used to the other titans and figured out their playstyle, it was so rewarding.

what's this?
Phase Shift, start cooking grenade, exit phase shift, throw.

All nearby projectiles get sucked in to a gravity star, not exclusive to the L-Star.

I got Doritos but when I entered the code it was already taken because the code was on the outside of the bag :/
Go into phase shift, start cooking, when you get out throw.
Yep, this game is the epitome of: easy to play, hard to master.
Yeah the gravity star is a really cool effect. It actually does suck everything around it in.

Finally played Bounty Hunt... meh? Pulled almost 2K in BH. Still would rather play Attrition or AH (AH more than anything else). Fun playing with Visceral. Goddamn he's played more than me lol.

Bounty Hunt is so much better than Attrition in my eyes. The way the bots are handled is better and the fact that there's an actual objective is nice, plus the feeling that every death counts - moreso when you're doing well. It's a really neat mode, probably my favorite overall.
Pretty much all I play now is Bounty Hunt, Last Titan Standing and Pilots vs. Pilots.

When you win as part of a faction you level them up and gain exclusive banners and patches and stuff. But more importantly they're the announcer for your game.

You can see what I'm talking about sort of on the killcam at the start of this clip: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Pegasus Actual/video/23996856
After Phase Shifting immediately start cooking your grenade, as you exit find your target and throw. It leaves you pretty much the perfect amount of time on your fuse. Anytime I Phase Shift I'm either cooking a grenade or I'm reloading.
I'm also a fan of the 'fuck it this Coliseum round has been going on for way too long Jesus take the wheel' nades: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Pegasus Actual/video/23996868
One goofy thing about Frags is while you're cooking them if you press the weapon swap button you just kind drop them. I can't say I've really found a use for doing it, but I feel like I should at least try.

Yeah I know everyone has their preferences. At least 95% of my matches have been AH. Seriously, I can't shake playing Conquest modes. Even in COD I only played hardpoint matches. This gets me nostalgic about how good Rush used to be in the BF series, especially BC2. So fucking good. Sorry, off track there.

Factions give you unique announcers for your game and exclusive banners and emblems as you level them up.
I just bought Titanfall2 over the weekend and started the campaign. So far, I am LOVING it. I'm taking my sweet time and trying to collect all the pilot helmets. Anyways, I go to the
and I was just blown away. I did not expect the game to go in that direction, but I'm really happy they did. It's a really fun mechanic and it's extremely well implemented.
That said, it kind of brings me to my post. It's during the end of this level as I'm trying to grab the last pilot helmet that I either found a glitch, or the game kept glitching on me. Basically,
. I tried it multiple times, but the end result was the same.
Has this happened to anyone else? I'm on a PS4 Pro and bought the game digitally. No other game spoilers, please. I stopped playing after clearing this level(and leaving behind the pilot helmet).

ust before the end of the level there is a helmet that is against the glass curtain wall perimeter, and if I try to time travel anywhere near it, I get stuck in the middle of space, I can even see the skymap form as in a fisheye lens. The only way to get unstuck is to kill myself using the c4 packet.

I'm not sure if this has been posted, but Vice wrote a spoiler filled article on the level everyone seems to be raving about. Worth a read!

I haven't been able to force much BH since the full game launched. I didn't enjoy it in beta and the idea of farming bots isn't especially appealing. I vastly prefer Attrition. I usually tend toward TDM anyway, and the freedom of approach there is nice.
It's also pretty easy to carry in Attrition. I know that I usually just need a Titan to swing the game back in our favor if we go down more than a few at some point.
Attrition is so much more fun solo and it's fun being a terror in a Titan.
I prefer BH because it at least focuses the action in a clear "hey, the fight's over here!" manner that draws both teams to conflict. Attrition's problem (IMO) in TF2 is that unless there's some pattern to the bot drops in different map areas that I've not been able to figure out, it feels as if half the match is hunting down bot clusters and pilots, but there's no method to it other than just blazing around the map, happening across clusters of enemies.
It felt like in TF1 that Attrition had more of a front-line mechanic, so you knew roughly where the fight was taking place at all times. That, and you saw bots on radar.
Damn, totally summed up how I feel about Attrition in this. It just never has the same flow that ALL Attrition matches had in TF1.
I love BH but would love classic Attrition back too.
