gg was fun
Bounty Hunt, where it's really punishing if you don't know what to do, but is very satisfying when you do

Its not as though its difficult to figure out.
Its a variant of headhunter, which has existed since Quake 2. And even in a world where google didnt exist, and figuring out how the mode works wasnt a search away, it isnt that fucking hard to figure out.
At some point, maybe we have to accept that the average TitanFall 2 player (or, indeed, average gamer), is fucking braindead.
I feel like it would be almost impossible to not win if you had a group of 3-4 good players grouped up. I dunno what's up with this game but it feels like the standard of play is really low. I know it's pretty overwhelming to start off and the movement must catch people by surprise.
I don't even mind, it makes me look better if anything. I got a Titan in the first 40 seconds just now :/
Edit: Ha the timing on that post.

So I have 2 EA accounts for some goofy reason, and 1 is super old. But it has my PSN linked to it. I just contacted EA to have that PSN link removed from my old account, and they told me that it is impossible---they got rid of that tool forever ago. So then I said ok...no biggie. Just delete my old account, then I can re-link PSN to my new one. They said nope...won't work. If I delete that account linked to my PSN, I'll never be able to link my PSN again. What the fuck? So I told them thanks, don't worry about it.
Here is my late contribution for some clips. Northstar cleanup kills, me camping the bank and pulling off a sick holo pilot kill but at the end I fail to melee a Pilot 5 times in about 6 seconds or so.

I hit 10,000 kills today. 
I hope this game entertains me enough that I want to hit 100,000. So far so good.

It's almost at titanfall 1 levels now actually. the fact that there's no dusting helps a lot though.
This game feeling more grounded is ultimately why everything feels so horrible to be killed by.
I don't think I ever raged when playing R1 when it came to specific kills.
It's incredible about sentries though..
Turrets in R1 were only really useful for sporting Pilots.
I have think it's plain stupidity that you can put a Turret in a Minion spawn and only pick of Pilots from a higher ground. That's just one way to break the game...

Exoplanet hardpoint
We have total control, and have a humungous lead. Our team gets titans.
Not a single flag is capturable by a titan. So the enemy gets total control and flips the game, all because we are in titans
This is the problem with some of these maps

...you ARE allowed to get out of the Titans. They dont disappear...
With no Titan timers, if Titans could control points, than the first team to establish Titan superiority would win.

There should be one titan point IMO
Ok lets not get out of control. There were definitely things to rage about in the original game such as
- Smart pistol
- Arc mines
- Arc mines on flag that sometimes didn't go off with nades thrown at it
- Sachels
- Dusting from the 40
- Arc cannon spam
- Horribly uneven teams despite everyone consistently staying in the same room yet the game could not for it's life balance the teams out
- Burn card abuses where the other team would drop multiple titans at the start of a match
They don't get a lot of the bonus. A Titan is worth $500 cash and $500 bonus. If you do all the damage except the the final hit, you still end up with ~$400/$400, and if you die on your way to the back, you lose just $200...
So in the end, THIS could happen to you and you still end up with ~$600 overall.
(in this gif, I got $41 from killing a Titan, and stole only $200 from him when he did ~99% damage to the Bounty Titan, so he walks away with about $600...)
I never raged about any of those things. In fact, I loved getting blown up by AND blowing up people with Satchels (back when it was the meta to cap a point and rig it with Satchels while you capped another point lol).
Arc Cannon never bothered me, Burn Cards were fine (though it was a little annoying to discover that the MVP was a dude with Map Hack, but that isn't me raging when I die)...
R1 had a lot more freedom to it.
Smart Pistol in general weaponed a Pilot.
I hate getting Sonared and knowing THE ENTIRE other team can see me. Why in god's name can Tone do that?
- Being smart pistoled at the very end of a perfect flag cap run when everyone else missed you didn't cause rage?
- Going into pull a flag only to be arc mined from something you thought you blew up didn't cause rage?
- Hitting a perfect 40 gooser only to see it dust didn't cause rage?
- Being in an LTS match and everyone on the other team switches to arc cannon because they're losing a la TONE didn't cause rage?
- Teams being even more uneven than they are now didn't cause rage?

Nah, some maps have some and some don't, I like that. It means you have to adjust the Titan strategy per map. It's totally your teams fault for not recognising that Titan's weren't that useful, and it's hard to believe that none of you got out when you saw yourselves losing all of the points.
Titan's have plenty utility without needing to cap the points. They control space between the points which is a big deal.
No, none of those things. Also, post patch Smart Pistol wasn't very good at all. You were also forced to use Enhanced Targeting on that weapon, so if anything, they were the easiest players to kill. They'd blip on the map and you could Stim right over to them.
I remember doing my Gen 9 Challenge only on CTF (never played competitive), I think I got my 50 MVPs in like 52 games. I remember posting about that. I don't have any memory of a Smart Pistol at the end of a cap run annoying me.
Arc Mines were annoying, but they never made me "rage". I do remember using the Smart Pistol to blow them up and kill their owners though haha.
Teams being uneven... I don't even know what you're talking about now. I'm talking about how in R2, deaths by a lot of weapons are rage-inducing. Don't move the goal posts without permission please.
I raged from getting killed by a Tone who fucking used Sonar in a Bank, and proceeded to shoot the wall behind me to kill me...
Just had a BH game that the scores were 4600-4600 and both teams had the points to win it.
We're close to the bank, and we have 4 titans in a posse. A Legion comes into the bank area and while I charge in to push him out (and I'm in Tone, so it's not a great MU at close range), the rest of my team, consisting of two ronins, and a northstar, just sit back and don't assist me. They take pot shots from down a corridor.
Seriously?
The opposing team wins from banking.
Ugh.
I have to give props to the Legion player though -- he tried that earlier in the match as well, covering and distracting our team for his teammates so they could bank without harassment.
OMG teamwork can win?!

Hemlock one shotting to the body (Amped)
Considering I am Amped the ENTIRE game (if you get a Titan from a Nuclear this happens, I had like 5 stacks once and the UI only shows 3 lol) this is a little bit stupid.
Chrono you can analyse this gif and tell me how I must not have seen the Pilot.

I'm going to send the OT2 stuff to someone tmr, there should be enough time to have it open before 20,000 posts

Flame Core
~~~
0 are playing Bounty Hunt in my region? I know it's after hours but damn...
That's it? Just flame core?
Nothing in this game comes close to inducing as much rage as the Smart Pistol did in TF1 (coming from PC)
Ronin's arc wave destroys it one hit
Ronin's arc wave destroys it one hit
Electric Smoke?
Alright. Thanks.

How can you hate some of the stuff in tf2 but be okay with bullshit burn cards??
Dying by a Burn Card didn't induce rage. Also, they were really fun. I liked the one that auto hacked Spectres lol

Exactly
There's always a chance for either team to make a comeback, especially if one gets too caught up in shoot shoot, bang bang instead of actually controlling points.
It IS easy for get distracted once you get a titan, i know, but most of the time, I'll just opt to call one in for Guard mode/defense

If Respawn brings back Ogre from Titanfall 1 and have its weapon be the Arc Cannon, I will drop Scorch in an instant
Man, fantastic night of PS4 Gaf trains tonight! Highlights:
Bounty Hunt win: 5,000 - 247
During amped hardpoint: "I AM SO FUCKING AMPED! AMP IT UP!"
"They're just camping in this building"
"Nah, they're spawning there, we just kill them as soon as they peek out!"
Rule #1 of skirmish when running with a group of tryhards: Never, under any circumstances, tell your teammates where the enemies are. It's the only way that you'll get any kills for yourself!

Reddit players are just the worst. Almost always teamed and smack talk all the time. I might just start leaving games with any reddit players in them. There's this game's Smart Pistol.
It was freaking fun.

Does the Threat scope have less recoil than the HCOG or is it just me? After starting off with the CAR I've been using only the R-201 lately. When using the HCOG too often I find myself shooting circles around my opponent instead of actually hitting them. I don't know how many times I've reenacted the scene from Pulp Fiction where Sam Jackson and John Travolta's character miraculously survive some dude who rushes in and sprays his bullets all over the place only to miss every single shot.
From far distance it seems impossible to hit people since the reticule bounces all over the place. I switched to the Threat scope and I'm doing much better now. Even from very far away it doesn't seem like the scope will bounce like the HCOG will. But I don't know if it's the scope, just my luck, or the fact that the scope high lighting my opponents has made it easier for me to hit my target. Just wondering if anybody knows.

because he's a silly junior
I'm almost certain the arc cannon will come back in some capacity.
yeah, it's not hard buddy. that's part of the reason it's Op as hell
Only worthwhile weapon in the game imo.
I have a clip somewhere proving that it can one-shot even without Amped or headshots..
edit:
Does hitting from behind give some sort of damage increase?
Love my smoothness in this sequence. They really improved the whole windows thing. Another aspect of R1 that was obnoxious! getting stuck on window ledges!
You were really close. It can 1 shot up close.
Do people think i talk out of my ass when i go blue in the face in here? THE GUN IS OP

No, it just does enough damage (35) to kill in three body shots at close range

A-Wall and DMR is just not fair. But it's so good. Power, range, and precision.
