Just had homestead for the very first time, on my 43rd match. I never knew it existed :d On the plus side I've only had crash site twice

TITANFALL 2 |OT| Don't Misgender Tone.

Exactly, and that's a huge problem because a lot of good players are running it. We're talking a 2 shot weapon with generous aim-assist completely dominating with close to no real skill required, no strafing, nothing. It's hey boom you're dead. Fuck that.
And they need to do that.
Ok? so the players that are playing the game to it's maximum potential are the ones penalized? That's retarded.
You should quit playing Pilots vs. Pilots. This game will never be balanced with it. :S
Also at least a third of my Hemlock kills are one shot <3

The Volt is/was a pretty cheap weapon in the hands of someone who could use it. It almost seemed unfair, to be honest, when I started running it to try it out.
The Antitype

Disagree. One weapon should not overstep into the role of another weapon or weapon class in the sandbox.
The Volt was a godly SMG paired with more-than-competent AR qualities at range. All they did was back off the AR qualities. It's still the best SMG in the game.

It essentially replaced the R201 and made the CAR irrelevant.
What's there to touch lol?
I agree with that also. PvP is more of an optional experience.
The Antitype
Banned
Agree. The increased accuracy of the R201 wasn't enough to compensate for the far greater DPS advantage of the Volt (particularly at hip-fire), and the CAR didn't do anything as well as the Volt, period.
delete it along with complex <3
This logic may seem sound but it's not. It's never worked out like this in the real world. At least not for mobile shooters.
It may be a good thing for a game like Battlefield but it's not for a game like this. "Turtling" happens too much on console where people sit back against any potential threat or good player and hope they get charged at. It becomes a game of distance. I hate that shit. It's not fun. It takes away from what makes a game like this worth playing.
I don't like dying when i know i outplayed someone.
How was it cheap? i'd love to hear this explanation.
Could we not refer to balance changes in a video game as retarded? Thanks.
It's pretty horrible, I've just gone back to regular attrition which feels much much better to play.

Are you able to purchase all of the deluxe edition content separately now that the cosmetic dlc is available or is some of it exclusive?
They should really work on that, it's a great fun map but no ones gonna want to be playing it if performance is bad.
Times like these I'm happy I got a gtx 1080, been having a lot of fun on Angel City. I do notice it runs worse than all the other maps.

haha what does that even mean? I abused a weapon that was OP.

I don't have a lot of experience with it compared to my "main" of G2/Eva, but I always felt like I won most engagements against everyone except Eva-users up close, particularly if I was cheesing it with Cloak or Phase. You never have to ADS, you can always keep moving once you unlock the shoot while sprinting mod, and you basically destroy anyone at short-mid rage.
The only time I felt weak with the weapon is when the other team was camping, but that's not a problem with the guns, it's a problem with the maps and how they offer so many ways for people to remain stationary and still see a lot of the map.

Well, I was cross-mapping dudes who had g2s and was beating them, sooo.
I have to agree volt was reaching ranges it has no right to reach. Then there is complaints about the Hemlock and G2 when that IS their niche. Come on now, so your arguing that an smg should be able to counter a DMR/BR AT RANGE? The 201 acts like a smg that can reach out at range AND keep a better damage profile. This to me is just a logical change.
I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong, but after watching some of the "move like me" videos, I haven't been successful in maintaining momentum over flat ground, as much as I have seen.
I'm not sure if it's because I'm instinctively holding forward during my slide hops... or what? I watched the gamersager video and actually didn't find it that helpful.
Maybe frothy has a better one.
Yup, don't push forward.

Is there black crush issue on consoles? I started playing on the PS4 Pro and noticed a lot of places and objects are completely black, especially in darker levels. This looks like similar issue that appeared in both Infamous PS4 games after they received Pro/HDR patches.
Yeah watch frothy's they're alot better. He has a beginner, intermediate, and expert series + another for controllers with a cam.
Edit: also holding forward is your issue.
PC is just brighter. The ingame setting solves that.
also the PC's gamma default is fucked

Edit: Ahh ok, I thought to myself damn someone else just said that. Looked up and saw it was you lol.

Yeah it bums me out too, maybe unlike the primary they could just make the pistols have fairly limited ammo without being able to refill them like I think you can with the Anti-Titan weapons. It would make them at least really feel like a last ditch "Out of ammo gotta switch to this" and allow you to have them alongside the anti-titan weapon. As they are now, the only reason to have one IMO is if you're playing Pilots vs Pilots, otherwise not having an anti-titan weapon just seems like a bad choice.
Btw has anyone found/seen the film grain slider yet? Couldn't find it at all last night.

When I was trying it out, this video was more helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKfmJd28KUs
It's gonna come down the timing of the button presses.
Thanks! Will try to get personal!

Are you sure it's not the fact that your stats suggest that you spent more than 70% of your time in a Titan in TF1? Your distribution is totally different in TF2, you only get about half of your kills in the Titan (which is quite a lot). You have 2200 as pilot, 1800 in titan, I have 5564 as pilot, 1816 as Titan. Your stats appear to benefit astronomically from your Tone gameplay.
Your stats are really odd generally to be honest, super high KDR but modest win/loss. I would have thought your team would have won more if you are getting so many kills, it always seems super easy to carry in attrition, pilot vs pilot and bounty hunter. I tend to leave my Titan quite a bit to play the objective which probably accounts for the higher win / loss and MVP rate, but lower KDR.
Your TF1 stats are insane though. The only time I've ever had or seen stats like that was on Starhawk, which actually had a sort of similar system with hawks just decimating pilots on the ground. Quite a lot of the top 100 or so pilots had 10+ KDRs on that game, I guess it was the high skill ceiling, unbalanced nature of the game and lack of good tutorials (in Starhawks case).

Eh, if people were using the Volt or G2 at long range and losing then they deserved to lose the encounter. The TTK on the Volt at range is nothing compared to those two, Volt especially.
I don't mind the nerf, it doesn't make much difference. I watched someone use the Volt to snipe me last night, and I was so far away I could barely even see myself on his killcam. All is fine. It's still capable at range, if ever so slightly weaker, but it doesn't stop it doing whatever it was doing before.
Crucially, if I was killing people with the Volt at long range before I was doing that because they were either a) bad, or b) not equipped with an appropriate weapon to return fire. The same is still true, and I'm still getting the same kills. Against a good pilot with the right weapon the Volt was always going to lose at range, it did before, and it still does now - lucky there aren't many good pilots then.

All I know is, I'm really, really not a fan of Northstar. I try to use everything and level up everything, but I am really not a fan.

I keep bouncing between the R201 and Hemlock. Can't quite figure out how which I enjoy more.
?
...That's the argument I'm making. A Volt can still kill at range but lose to an appropriate weapon at range.
He was most likely amped. There's no way a volt is killing a full health pilot at real range now quick enough for you not to escape it.

Lol yes, you get 50% of that player's bounty, but money stolen from kills don't get scored unless you bank it. Killing players alone won't score your team points.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Gamesager's video doesn't go into detail about slide hopping but when you get it down you should go back to it for tips on air-strafing. I thought he did a good job of explaining it.

Finally got round to installing update.
Just over 1.5 days played (thought it would be higher) and a KD of 4.9
Will definitely be picking up those skins in the store, although maybe leaving off on the banners

I don't use the banners, but bought to support Respawn and for the collection.
My stats are all messed up which makes me kinda sadface. I'm sure everything will equalize within a month.
