Can you actually spend credits for Coliseum tickets now? Didn't know that. I've been sitting on about 2,000 credits and not a single ticket. I guess they want to raise the stakes since you level up quickly and get some "unique" rewards from it.
It's definitely a super fun mode. I'd like to see it take on an elimination format similar to what some fighting games do or Trials in Destiny, where if you collect a certain amount of wins in a row, you get a real cool reward.
Join the "NeoGAF", and the "Yea That's a Wipe" network bro!
I'm sure the same networks are populated on console too.
If you're struggling to kill people, try the SMG or if you want easy kills get the Devotion or Hemlock.
Do not ADS, try to hipfire.
Fuck Tone.
Slow down, try using Stim - for close situations to heal and reposition.
In Bounty Hunt try to concentrate on the AI that drops, try Nuclear Ejecting the Titan Bounty in one chunk for big $$$.
Fuck Tone.
If you need to get better at movement, you can open a private match and practice (it's on the second page of the mode screen).
If you're alone play Attrition to get a hang of the maps and the weapons. It's an easy mode where even the worst players can contribute by shooting ai.
Last but not least: Fuck Tone.
I don't feel like I'm struggling to kill players (3k/d in last 10 games so I must not be awful..)
But I hate to stare at my K/D.
So far I really like the CAR w/ extra ammo, R-201 with extra ammo, quick swap (charge rifle). I have a loadout w/ the Hemlok but it's just not a gun I enjoy using, although I recognize how powerful it is.
Thats what I mean though it's like using the EVA (as in play like you would with it) but don't be afraid to use it at much longer ranges. I'm sure you have a feeling for what range is not even worth bothering with the EVA, that's an engagement that you can take them out in the same amount of time. I'll try to get some video today, just don't know how to post it on here.

I went up against a squad or clan, and we almost won! We lost by two points (by we, I meant my side. I always play solo). Mind, I scored 213 and killed 29 Pilots and 5 Titans in one match (I scored more than the other team's top two players combined).

Feels bad, man.

Dat shade doe!
Coliseum tickets need to come as extra contents within advocate gifts; we need more of those babies.
Also, I just won a match firing three shots and tossing a grenade. Two direct hits, and one with splash damage followed by a fatal grenade toss. I really wish I had recorded that. The whole match took a total of 10 seconds on the clock.

Its absolutely true that the game needs some kind of SBMM behind the scenes to ease new players in. The amount/impact can decrease inverse to time played up to a point, but Ive bought this game for 3 friends. They all loved the campaign but bounced off mp, because I cant play with them every day, every match.
At some point they figured theyd rather wait for competitive matches in Overwatch than jump immediately into lopsided sodomizations in TitanFall 2.

I don't know how this still isn't a thing.
C'mon Respawn, this is the #2 thing I've wanted since the game came out!
#1 is more Titanfall 1 maps.

I hate to say it but I think I'm sort of finished with the game. As much as the gameplay is fluid, it's just sort of ran out of steam for me.
I booted it up tonight after getting home from work and realised I'd not played it in nearly a week. It just doesn't seem to have held the same interest as the first one, which is strange, because I played TF1 from launch on the 360, through to the XBO and pretty much up until Overwatch was released.
It doesn't help that I'm finding it more and more frequent that players quit if their team starts losing. Which can be a great way to pick up easy wins if they're not on your side, but on the flip side it's a complete ball ache when it's your team who are quitting.
It also seems that everyone is now running with phase shift over everything else. In my recent games it's fallen to around 80% run with Phase Shift and the rest cloak. That's it. Nothing else. Which is a pity, as when the game first came out I enjoyed facing such a varied amount of players running with different set ups. Now that the game's been out for a little while it seems everyone has sort of cottoned on to what the best guns are without having to put the hours in.
I'll certainly keep it in my collection until the next update, and I hope those that are still enjoying it carry on playing

Join a network like Giant Bomb and do network invites. You will generally get a group of 3 to 6 people together and more often than not they'll be at least competent at the game.
You're right though, nothing is more annoying than getting into a game and seeing people on your team not doing anything. I literally see teammates idling at the spawn point. And TitanFall is especially brutal if the teams are uneven. If it's 6 competent players vs a shorthanded team it's gonna be a massacre.

I feel the exact opposite.
If I don't play the game for 2 days i start missing it
Also theres plenty of variaton on PC - every pack, every Titan and every weapon is uses across the board. I don't feel like there's the "ONE" kit everyone runs.

Does that mean you can't achieve the Black pilot skin because it's ranked for G11?
Damn, Shadowplay did not record my latest Bounty Hunt match...
Was gonna upload it for Junior Cobalt
Stop calling me a junior

I felt really beat after Uni. Leave at 6, get there by 9, leave at 11, get home at 1... It's really not ideal and I ended up just being tired after the train home.
Hearing that double xp codes don't stack has meant that I don't really care too much about playing this weekend. The game is so dead in the UK, and so much is just unfun with 100ping where Titanfall 1 was fine. Sentries, getting killed in Phase Shift... I just know that this is all I have to look forward to.
Not just you. I feel handicapped without it.
It comes in waves for me. The more I use Grapple, the harder it is to choose another ability, as the ability to zip anywhere is just so enabling. If I play Phase or Holo, though, I have a lot of fun in battle. Mid-combat, it just feels a tad too slow for me to want to stick with it over the awesome ability of invulnerable phase shifts or decoy doubles.
How is it dead in UK when I can find games just fine?
Aren't we in one pool in "Europe"?
Doing that for last 4 rounds now. No one joined until the 4th.
The 4th match was Attrition @ Complex. Ended 475 to 143. I topped the fucking score with 35.
Fun game guys, really balanced MM <3
Lets make something clear here for everyone, especially the people new to Titanfall that didn't play the first.
The 40 was probably the most popular gun in the original Titanfall. It may not have been the most used since most new players immediately went chaingun but it was definitely the most popular amongst the normal player base that stuck around. It was also by far the most used gun by hardcore players both in LTS and CTF.
I totally understand Respawns thinking when it came to Tone. However, the issue here is that where as before you could run an atlas 40, stryder 40 or ogre 40 with variations in load outs like particle wall or vortex shield, salvo or cluster or slave, etc etc here you are locked in. Making the titans "heros" is what is causing the grievances with Tone. No one bitched before that everyone was running a 40 because of the variety in load outs and titan builds running it.
As for Northstar with it's plasma railgun was never going to be an attrition/ctf/bounty hunt dominate titan. The railgun in TF1 was only used heavily in LTS and no where else. The other hero titans definitely fit specific roles and aren't all suited for certain play stytles or situations as well. i do think a few more tweaks is all that's needed but i don't think anyone should be expecting to run a titan like Northstar in anything but LTS.
Pilot sentries aren't ok. Not in PVP and CTF at least. Going up against people that stack sentries is a pain in the ass and totally kills mobility in these modes. Yes, i can go phase shift and start taking them out but what's the fun in that? In a recent match i spent half the time phase shifting to take out turrets for my teammates. Thanks but no thanks.
I probably still see cloak/grapple the most followed by stim, phase shift, a-wall and the occasional holo pilot (rarely).

I never have any issues unless i'm jumping servers to another coast.
I tried it, not a fan.
Don't be silly.
Volt doesn't feel great. Whatever they did ruined it for me.

Not my experience at all. most matches people don't quit, at least not more than 2 and i see a wide variety of pilot load outs.
I probably still see cloak/grapple the most followed by stim, phase shift, a-wall and the occasional holo pilot (rarely).
Got a Bounty Hunt round for you.
Speaking of phase shift
When you try to play it off as one of the guys and they don't bite.
I loved the Alternator when the game came out but now I can't get back to it and I don't know why that is.
It feels like it's only decent in rooms while it was fairly god at mid-range too :/
and other people, send me your Bounty Hunt clips!
I'll just render it and upload it on Youtube :3
It's a whole match tho, is that OK?
yeah, it did take a hit in the mid-range. still really fun to use but you gotta put in work.
a ctf stim+alternator only playlist would be wonderful.

Phase shift and stim are great but they really feel too good
I hope they find ways to buff the other abilities because phase and stim feel like crutches to me now

That's fine
uh, no. now you're going overboard. relax.
anyways, saw this on reddit. this had me chuckling
When you walk into a match with Devotion

Oh yeah I really hope they improve the map choice algorithm soon.
The moment to moment action is so good, I can play match after match.
Only thing that makes me quit are a few shite matches in a row tbh. Like getting dominated by Tones or just being outplayed constantly
Only other FPS that was like this is Rainbow 6 imo.

Maybe but I'm in no way a CoD fan and only played BO2 and the first Scifi one and both are way worse than TF1 and TF2 but they have a higher addictivity for me at least. TF is lacking the "one more round" factor somehow. I'm not feeling it and I hate it because it's a way better game than crappy CoD
Nah, but I also play BF1 and I can play it for 4+ hours and don't notice it. I'm still l glad that I bought TF2 though. I'm having fun but maybe just for an hour a day.
yeah, two totally different games. i last about two rounds in a battlefield game before saying ok fuck this.
Regarding the video... somehow my sound was fucked, exporting again.
Also I noticed, I had a stream running in the background for the first 2 minutes or so - OOPS D:
Oh god..
Bf1 was very very addicting for the first ~60h I played it.
Then Tf2 came out and every death felt like bullshit + it's so team dependent that most of the time I'm just frustrated about how stupid people are in this game.
UGH
Fuck playing against a 5 stack every 5th or so game because it's about time I deserve to lose...
Anyway I have a gif coming soon which will show you that Nuclear on a Bounty Titan (even if you get Goosed) is still worth it...

181 playing in London region. Welp, that's all for today I guess.
