Have you played much LTS with any of them? I leveled up a lot faster in LTS than anything else I believe.

I'm pretty sure I played Northstar on LTS almost exclusively the first generation or so. It wasn't until recently that I started using her in the other modes.

I think it's just Titan kills, but happy to be corrected on that

That's what I'm thinking too. I played a game of Attrition with her where I killed 6 or so pilots with her railgun/melee/cluster rockets, and I only got one tick on her progression at the end of the match.

 

[Applesauce]

run a test, are you getting packet loss?

I'm not at home right now

The game has been like that for me since launch. I might as well be playing with 200 ping, even though supposedly it's around 40.

Don't you play on distant severs though? For some reason I remember you playing on euro servers from the Far East in the first game ... maybe I'm thinking of someone else. I'm in Houston playing on the Dallas server last I checked, today has been pretty bad.

I really love it and never for taking out Pilots.


I didnt realize until a little later that it shows up on a pilots screen when you are locking onto them.

 

[SwolBro]

this is the oddest thing... only the xbox is seeing the erratic upload speeds and packet loss. when i test my laptop through speedtest.net it's fine.

speedtest is bogus isn't it?

Nope, that's not me. I play on European servers with around 20ms ping. It feels like it's 10 times as much. Sometimes it even says it's 300 in game for a while. I can play other games (well, other games with good netcode) just fine.

I love it mostly for clearing out clusters of spectres or grunts to quickly earn a Titan.

Had a bunch of awful games where i'd out play the other team land a bunch of crits only to have them turn around and kill me. Killcam showed none of this and they still had 100%Health. Very frustrating, especially when they were teabagging reddit users with AWall devotions

 

[SwolBro]

Wish i tried shadowrun. OG Tlou mp was also well balanced, imo.

you probably can. there's a few insanely and i mean insanely dedicated pc/360 players still on it i believe. lol

i can't for the life of me understand why Microsoft didn't have this as a backwards compatible game.

ohhhhhhhh my godddddddddddd

my brother literally just hit me up saying "yo i see people on my live on xbox one playing shadowrun"

sure enough there it is!!!!! holy fuck lets hop on this right now.

What mode you playing? Need any specific pointers?

 

[Arttemis]

Man, I stop playing for a day and I turn to absolute dog shit. I'm really bad at controller aiming, as I always played shooters on PC with a mouse and keyboard.

I can get in the zone after a few days of consistent play where I can start to actually move the reticle where I intend to shoot, but today, I can't even kill sonar marked enemies running into the room before they can identify and eliminate me. It's frustrating and pathetic. I was bottom of the scoreboard the last two games.

Last Titan standing is much better, as aiming to hit Titans mostly means just aiming left and right, aiming for the red spots. I usually am very good at that mode, but then I go back to pilot gameplay and I'm total garbage.

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

What mode you playing? Need any specific pointers?

at the moment Amp Hardpoint. But I'm gonna dab into other modes

 

[Chronospherics]

Spawn camping sucks and should be avoided by developers at all costs. It may be ok in a competitive match since people know how to break spawns but in a PUB match it's a sure fire way to make people quit.

This wasn't an issue in attrition in Titanfall 1. The maps were designed in such a way where it wasn't so easy to spawn camp. There were maybe 2 or 3 maps where real spawn camping was a thing (angel city, smugglers cove, demeter) and i only remember those because they were prominent in competitive CTF.

I wouldn't say it's an issue. I haven't played a decent game where the respawns aren't predictable and where players can't benefit from memorisation of those respawn patterns.

Everything from Halo 3 to The Last of Us has predictable respawns based allied positions. I'm not saying it allows you to kill them as soon as they spawn, but it does allow you to orientate your attention to their general area.

The players dying have the same advantage, they know where they were killing from, they know the general enemy orientation. The issue with making spawns more random, and unpredictable is you end up punishing the aggressive player and matches lose their flow.

Can't seem to get any consistency going with this game in MP.

One minute I top the board with like 25 kills and 2 deaths, the next I am like 10 kills to 13 deaths (pilot v pilot btw). Feels like I am shooting pellets at some points, unloading a clip and then they turn around and one shot me. Getting really frustrated with it. And the amount of times I get shot, take cover behind a wall and yet still die... argh. Looking at their view of it, it doesn't seem like I am exposed or anything so no idea what to do other than literally run while behind cover to avoid 'homing' shots. I have noticed I get a ping of 30 or so for latency and then it spikes to 60 randomly but don't think that explains it.

I really hate the more city based maps as it is so random with the spawns and locations of enemies its hard to get your bearings before you get shot. Definitely do worse with those maps and they seem to be by far the most prevalent maps used. Barely ever seem to get the more canyon based map (with the incline and tunnel) which is my favourite and the one I am best with.

 

[TimeEffect]

Spawns have been awesome for me. Never as terrible as cod

I know you can trap opponents but Im hoping they flip spawns if it gets too bad

 

[Arkos]

at the moment Amp Hardpoint. But I'm gonna dab into other modes

1. Sit at the first Hardpoint
2. Profit

Edit: I also use sonar and tone, then you can see people coming. I am in first place with like 2 kills just about every AH match doing this. And we always win.

Forward Base Kodai. Probably my favorite, too.

 

[Data West]

I wish they'd cave and give us 3 weapons. Mozambique was my favorite weapon in the campaign, but I'd never drop MGL for it in multiplayer.

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

what's with the currency on the side? I have 144 of them?

 

[KodaRuss]

Yep. That is all I use it for. Its is incredibly effecient.

 

[Data West]

Merits. You use them to buy unlocks to keep when you regenerate

 

[Arrrammis]

You get credit as you level up which you can use to unlock weapons/titans/abilities/etc.. Whatever you buy with credits will still be available after you regen (everything else will be locked again), so it's worth using some to buy your favorite weapons, but these credits are also the only way to buy things like executions. Also, you can't buy these credits using real cash, which I really, really appreciate.

 

[JJShadow]

So what's people favourite primary weapon? I've been mainly using the R201, CAR and Hemlock since I started playing, feel so comfortable with them that I didn't even try any of the others

Regarding the Antititan weapon, is there a better option than the Charge Rifle? Still have to unlock the rocket launcher, but I like it more than the grenade launcher or the Thunderbolt

I'm really liking the R201, Volt, and P2016. gonna try out other weapons when I unlock them

For primaries, I usually switch between the r201, Volt, and Hemlock. I've also recently started using a weirder loadout using the EV-8 shotgun and the Pilot elite pistol as a secondary. It works pretty well, and I can still take out titans pretty easily using firestar and rodeo attacks (or at least do enough damage to fill my titan meter and call down my titan).

I usually use the grenade launcher, but I'm more of a close range fighter against titans, so that works for me. The thunderbolt does good damage, but it moves way too slow for my taste. I used the charge rifle with the quick charge mod (fire almost instantly but do less damage) for a while and did well with it, but the grenade launcher just does way more damage.

 

[TheChits]

R201 and L-Star are probably my favorites.

Devotion for primary MGL for anti-Titan.

I got something delivered today. Going to let my son open it for christmas.

 

[Keihart]

The Softball Grenade Launcher is great, blowing everything up and has decent power against Titans.

It's like Respawn made the Black Ops 2 War Machine a primary.

I love it, it's been my main for like two weeks now.

 

[Alx]

Smart Pistol is my beautiful boy

My main issue with it is that once it's empty it becomes useless and prevents you from using your secondary weapon. Especially annoying if it was an anti-titan weapon. It's the main reason why I barely use it.

Since I stick to BH I try to die after I hit the bank and I am not in my Titan to get my Anti Titan weapon back.

I wish it didnt take up a weapon slot though.

This is true, you have to consider that before activating it. If the other team has a few Titans down I'll usually refrain. But man is it fun to kill pilots with because I know it's caused a few outbursts of rage.

 

[sixpackrules]

yeah, I have had some bad lag too. Keep getting killed after phase shifting and some frustrating 1v1 situations as well. Hope it gets sorted before I get home later

It happens the same to me more often that not lately, and even the killcam shows that i´m not there when i die, it can get really frustating specially to me that i´m pretty bad at pilot vs pilot fights

 

[Marc]

Forward Base Kodai. Probably my favorite, too.

I looked them up, its actually Crash Site that's my favourite. Funnily enough its from a list of worst to best maps and that was last. :/ Complex my second favourite, forward base probably third. Exoplanet and Black Water Canal I love as well.

Homestead, Boomtown and Eden my least favourites and they seem to be the only maps I get right now.

Had a game earlier, 33ms ping and yet everyone was stuttering around me, teammates and enemies. No idea what that was about.

I need this but the Titanfall POPs are not being distributed here. Sucks. May end up importing.

 

[zou]

Ok, there needs to be an option to get rid of the stupid minimap flashes. Just had a game where a saw a blip long enough to act on it, and it's insanely more useful. To be honest, I didn't think those were still in the game.

 

[Applesauce]

So, Ronin is pretty fucking fun.

 

[J.EM1]

Got to breeze through another pilot regen thanks to double XP. Also, it really sucks getting stuck on a losing team several matches in a row.

Doesn't sonar and map hacks give you blips?

When a pilot shots is shows a red line on the border of the map giving you their direction, if they are too close above or below you it shows a big circle around you.

Cones are titans or ai, i'm not sure.

I love that when you shoot you don't get marked accurately like in COD.

Dang that does suck. The stock has not been great either been sold out a couples times already. I was thinking about getting the others but they are pretty pricy especially since they are pretty tough to get.

In case anyone was wondering Jack does fit inside BT. Pretty cool for a POP figure.

I only have one other which is a classic Batman.

Guy beats me in a Coliseum match and proceeded to Tea Bag. We matched up twice after that and gave him the hawt 3-0 each time. Got matched up a FOURTH time, but I guess he was didn't wanna play with me anymore
