Refreshing this thread while at work is torture, can't wait to get home...

This on X1 and battlefield on PC should keep me insanely busy for a long time. Super freaking pumped!

 

[zsynqx]

It just keeps getting better and better.

I would definitely put this above Doom and Wolfenstein as the best shooter campaign this gen.

 

[jelly]

Played a bit at my friends house, it's amazing. The grapple hook had me grinning It's just so fun and easy to get into and do awesome stuff. Some people did look a bit clueless but they'll get to grips with it watching others. I can be a bit grumpy about games nowadays but this made me really happy and forget everything. It was bliss, like being a kid and playing something amazing for the first time like Halo CE.

Can't believe more people aren't complaining about attrition downgrades. No TF1 fans in here?

That's two of my three favourite games this gen, and someone in another thread has said it's close to being Vanquish 2.

Yep, bought. So bought.

There's definitely posts to that effect in this thread. It was one of the reasons I was holding off but I'm not sure I can now.

FrothyOmen YouTube, has very detailed videos on the matter.

I'm not able to play. I'm getting this error message when installing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Error: The VC++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. (1612)

Nice move.
I wish Ps4 record was voice activated. Half the time I can't hit the record button in time. Damn old age.

"Playstation"

"Save video clip"

I haven't tested that, but it should work if you have voice commands activated and a mic. The PS4 is always recording, so you'll save the last 15 minutes (or less if you changed these settings).

Gotta stafe to be able to have air control. It isn't intuitive so you gotta practise

Am I missing something or does TitanFall 2 pull an Overwatch and only float 'happy' stats like kills and wins? Is there a way to track K/D and whatnot among yourself and friends?

Not a big deal, just want to make sure I'm not missing a tab somewhere.

Meh, I prepared myself for changes across the board after the beta. It's a different game. I don't necessarily agree with the choices made, but I've decided to enjoy it for what it is, rather than what it isn't or hypothetically could be.

They said stats are being tracked currently, but an actual stat page will be added in very soon

See: all my posts

The thing is, even if Attrition is made to focus more on AI and they space it out, the Radar still fucks with the flow. You have to play Attrition the way people who played it wrong in R1. Basically, don't care about minions unless they're just free kills.

I believe they are adding it on the next update, and so far its tracking your kills, deaths etc.

I agree, I hate those fluffy stats they show in Overwatch,

Hey guys, streaming this from my Titan X(P) if anyone is interested in seeing PC performance.

I had a conversation with an old Battlefield friend on Origin yesterday. It made me wonder if people know that objective-based gamemodes exist in Titanfall.

He asked me "is Titanfall 2 good, or is it another Titanfall 1?". After explaining that I liked the first game a lot, I told him that now all but two of the game modes don't have AI. He responded "good, I hated how you could win by only killing AI", which is only true in Attrition, and not possible in Hardpoint/CTF/LTS. You know, the objective based modes that a Battlefield player should crave.

Aside from the point limit (which is too low), it's roughly the same to me. It's still Attrition, it's just that the changes to Titan combat make it nearly impossible to single-handedly control the game.

The thing is, even if Attrition is made to focus more on AI and they space it out, the Radar still fucks with the flow. You have to play Attrition the way people who played it wrong in R1. Basically, don't care about minions unless they're just free kills.

Huh, I guess that's why I'm not feeling the change as much. I'm ignoring the radar, instead just using sound direction to pick out enemy Pilots. The sound of an enemy Pilot firing a weapon is extremely loud now.

*shrugs* I wouldn't revolt if they decided it was better to hide stats. I'm fine either way. Like I said, just checking to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious.

Thanks for the info!

PC version is good, running great and getting matches quickly. Hopefully the population stays healthy, but I'm not too worried. Game doesn't have the same launch problems 1 had.

 

[DrBo42]

Man, that campaign was pretty much excellent all the way through. Surprising considering the first didn't even have one. Nice job Respawn.

 

[Drewfonse]

Had to pull myself away from this to finally eat. Next up :brushing my teeth.

Wow, what a fun game this is. Played the first 2 campaign levels and loved em.

Then I played MP for 2-3 hrs and adored it. Everything, the grapple hook infused movement, snappiness of the gunplay, quick matchmaking, customization options, it's fantastic. So fun.


Never thought I would get sucked into Bounty Hunt, but man is that addictive.

Different strokes and all, but I'm finding this is to be leaps and bounds more fun than BF1.

TF1 fans weren't playing attrition

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

Its been long since I played the tech test, but the speed seems to be higher in the full game and the flow just feels better in general. I think the final version is simply superior in every way possible. The maps I played were solid, I even didn't hate Homestead in the full game.

Excellent. The wait is now harder, lol.

 

[AllGamer]

I love it when this happens

 

[Iscariot]

I'm so dogshit at the MP in this game, but it's still pretty damn fun.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Vinson Dynamics the only faction for me. <3 Ash

 

[jelly]

Is this the best shotgun in gaming? Maybe it's the feedback too as the enemies pop but holy hell so satisfying.

 

[Nardonicus]

Looking forward to jumping on tonight.

I was going to play the Campaign on Hard, but now I am thinking maybe Master. Has anyone tried the Campaign on Master? (hardest difficutly)

Gamespot put up a little video recommending Master: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdk_3WzClx4

I beat it on Master. Fairly easy outside of some sections near the end of the game where you're forced into a Titan.

everyone's only talking about SMGs but as a fan of Titan skating around at high speed and being an asshole to people with a shotgun in Destiny, you're speaking my language here.

Tall order to beat the FEAR 1 shotgun though.

Master is great so far. I haven't had any cheap deaths, and it adds a particular stealth element to the that I'd imagine would be there as much.

It kinda forces you to use you abilities more.

Did you guys have any downlable codes for skins in the box? I could've sworn pre-orering the game would give you nose art and skins, but my box didn't have anything but a flyer to the mobile game...

 

[OdysseusVA]

I hope theres a 24/7 Angel City playlist once its released...

Do you mean the EVA or the Mastiff? Because the Mastiff is the most satisfying shotgun I've ever seen.

 

[JaMarco]

Damn this SP is amazing.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Since Amazon fucked up my pre-order and gave me no code to get early access, how many days or weeks is the map access early before official release?

 

[Will the Thrill]

If in case anyone was wondering how well controllers can play against Keyboard and mouse on PC, well I won pretty decently against a youtuber just recently in attrition lol. In general I do pretty good from what I've played overall. Usually top of the leader board.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Three days early

 

[JJShadow]

Played the first 4-5 campaign levels and holy shit, the gameplay is so fucking amazing. The gunplay feels so satisfying, but what I really love is the Vanquish-style sliding. Cannot wait to dig more hours in

 

[RedlineRonin]

Preordered from BBY (PC physical, which is hilarious because there's no disc in the box) and they sent a separate code for the Nitro skin pack for scorch

 

[TheFNEffecT]

Error: The VC++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. (1612)

So I was getting this issue as well, go into the game directory and go into the redist or wherever the VC++ installers are located.

Go ahead and repair those. When I tried it barked at me for not having feature and I had to re-point it to the correct .msi package. I believe this is why it's getting hung up on the install in general. Also, I'm sure what triggered it was selecting a different drive location to install.

DM me if you have any further issues, I'll gladly assist.

Rip me. I guess it's time to make a call to Amazon.

 

[constantstatic]

Plus we are still using Azure. A cloud of clouds, sorta.

I really miss the servers from tinitanfall 1. Living in Ohio I'm seeing much higher pings than I had in T1 or even cod for that matter. Wish we had some Chicago servers.

 

[Revas]

Can't believe more people aren't complaining about attrition downgrades. No TF1 fans in here?

Yeah, Atrrition isn't the same but I'm still high on all the things they did right in this game to complain too much tbh.

For those new to titanfall I can't suggest bumper jumper enough. Try it out until it clicks.

Currently trying to get "Evolved" down and failing.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Rip me. I guess it's time to make a call to Amazon.

I used their chat feature. They told me to wait till Monday for a possible email with the code. But they actually still gave me a free month of Prime for the fuck up.

Is the smart pistol not in multiplayer?

 

[dankir]

I'm watching Sager's steam, but he's going 4 hours straight and has 300 kills and 3 deaths and hasn't lost a game today.

Crazy shit his aim is ridiculous.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Forgot to mention this earlier but the framerate has been pretty solid on PS4? I don't think I've encountered the dips I experienced during the Tech Test.

I'll be playing more today and will give it a another look.

Is the smart pistol not in multiplayer?

Yes, but its now a Boost and replaces your secondary weapon.

 

[Izuna]

Is the smart pistol not in multiplayer?

It's a Boost now

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Is the smart pistol not in multiplayer?

It's a Boost, AKA a scorestreak/killstreak, though the difference is you don't lose all your progress when you die like those
