[Sword Of Doom]

movement/wallrunning mechanics are nearly identical to titanfall 1 now. maps aren't as as good for wallrunning as titanfall 1, but some of the maps in the final game are definitely better in that respect than the ones from the tech test and beta.

It's pretty easy to get titans quickly (fastest way is stealing an enemy titans battery which gives you like 60% on your timer right away)

Stealing the battery is kind of broken because all you have to do is take it out which is super easy. Even if you die you get the boost to your Titan meter

So the MP is designed to be less hectic than the first game here right?



Heckkkkkkkk I need to check this out immediately. Dishonored 2 seems like it has a similar mechanic going for it too.

I don't know, I was playing attrition this morning and it feels pretty chaotic to me. Depends on the map also.

The mechanic everyone is talking about is only for a brief period in the campaign. There's a lot more to it than just that one part. By the end, I was invested in the characters as well

 

[Tokubetsu]

The only map I'm not really fucking with right now is the one with all the cherry blossoms and orange sky box? It's got those small little bases around it and caves. I don't think I've ever done well on that map. A lot of shitty deaths (or what feels like shitty deaths) too.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Great game. Tremendous game. People love this game. Critics say it's the best game.

look at them dolla signs go up bih

Dear god. All those medals/bonuses could hardly fit on the screen on the left.

 

[Zemm]

I can't be the only one that quits when the epilogue starts, such a waste of time!

 

[dugdug]

Still completely unable to finish a match. And it seems there's no way to report a bug anywhere. Great. Guess I just bought a campaign, then.

 

[SmartWaffles]

I can't be the only one that quits when the epilogue starts, such a waste of time!

You get one merit for successfuly evacuating or destroying the enemy's dropship, so not a waste of time at all. Basically if your opponents have no more than 3 Titans, run for the ride!

 

[Mesoian]

I think I fucked up. I got TF2 with 2 other games in the target buy 2, get 1, assuming that they'd just email me a code. apparently they're shipping me an empty box with a code in it.

That's frustrating.

 

[lastflowers]

beat my last bounty high score. 3022 points.

 

[FeD.nL]

I can't be the only one that quits when the epilogue starts, such a waste of time!

I think it's fun, and it's an easy extra merit when you escape.

 

[chronic_archaic]

Multiplayer is still underwhelming me a bit but it's definitely better than it was in beta. Might pick it up down the road if it does well but for now I think I'm sticking with the first game once my rental is over.

 

[hohoXD123]

Damn, I thought the level design was pretty great already then they manage to blow your mind on the

level. Seriously well done to Respawn.

Leveling up feels slow, how are some of you in multiple Gens already?

 

[PrankT]

Is there cussing and gore on the single-player?

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Is there cussing and gore on the single-player?

No cussing but you're killing humans

Don't remember any cussing but I might be mistaken

 

[Animator]

Happy hour and win games. Leveling up is anything but slow in this game. Pretty much every match you are leveling up something or other.

Sorry since you probably already said this, but what's going on exactly?

 

[ant_]

I'm switching titans/weapons/ now whenever I get Gen2 on them.

What does this mean? I got Gen2 on Ronin and was unsure if I should switch or not

 

[EL CUCO]

Is there cussing and gore on the single-player?

There is blood, but no cussing

 

[Ivory Samoan]

This is the best multiplayer I've played in any MP shooter ever, yep I'm going there.

The campaign is fantastic.... man, this is some serious 9.5/10 stuff: it deserves to get a massive player base, I hope they maintain marketing to get it to the line.

 

[lastflowers]

I've got no clue what it does other than unlock that extra mod slot. I just figured it's a good time to start using a new weapon afterwards.

 

[Menitta]

The banks are the same for both teams which always freaks me out. Though it is satisfying when you kill someone uploading. "Oh you're uploading $400? Now you're not"

[golem]

I don't know if the LSTAR is the best gun or anything, but it feels so good to use that I'm not going to choose anything else for a while.

The LSTAR does feel awesome to use. In fact all of the guns feel pretty great, that Respawn magic

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Happy hour and win games. Leveling up is anything but slow in this game. Pretty much every match you are leveling up something or other.

Yeah, I like that I'm leveling a bunch of stuff after every match. I was just wanting to know about your actual player level. I'm still at level 12 (I think) despite always placing top 2 in every match I've played and winning 90% of my games. I need to get on a happy hour with TitanGAF on PC.

How much of a boost do you get during happy hour?

have you tried changing the server?

Repeatedly.

Damn. What the hell? And this is on Xbox?

 

[deim0s]

Of all the three betas that came out... TF2 got my money.

Am enjoying MP whole lot and having tons of fun, compared to getting stressed out on CoD or BF1s combat. It's like I'm playing Modern Warfare for the first time good.

Tone is indeed the man!

 

[Strider]

When you get outcarried

 

[dugdug]

Damn. What the hell? And this is on Xbox?

Yep. Happens with every single match. It seems to struggle with respawning me in.

Maybe you've already done, but if the game is installed have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it to your drive?

There is blood, but no cussing

Thanks

 

[The Xtortionist]

How much of a boost do you get during happy hour?

Finishing a game during happy hour gives you an extra five merits for free, but only once per day.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Only thing that pisses me off playing the MP is people camping in a little corner with that COD looking Sniper Camo

Thanks

If you're worried about kids playing, the stealth Melee kills can be gory. The main Titan though is amazing and I can imagine kids loving him

5 merits

Thanks. What do merits do? Lol

 

[Ferny]

[Malcolm9]

Just picked this up, COD and BF can do one this year

Really glad Respawn went multiplatform as I missed out on TitanFall 1.

 

[dugdug]

Maybe you've already done, but if the game is installed have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it to your drive?

Hm, haven't tried that, but, I guess it can't hurt.

 

[Marvel]

Yeah this campaign is too much.

Obscenely good.

 

[NowhereFaded]

HO-LY SHIT.

I just got to that part in the campaign. I'm guessing whoever played it knows what I'm talking about. These are mechanics and ideas I'd expect from a game like Half-Life 2, not Titanfall. Completely blown away by this game.

GOTY status!!
This game is gonna be huge.
Spread the word GAF!

I have the same issue (ps4) mp is off limits to me right now.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

I know the EA servers were busted up all weekend, that includes Battlefield 1. Maybe some of the issues you guys are having are related to that.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Thanks. What do merits do? Lol

Merits are basically XP. You level up once you get enough. You get them from completing up to 3 match goals in a game. They're different per game type, for example in Attrition merits are earned by getting a 3 kill streak, finishing the game, and either winning or extracting successfully. Weapon and Titan level ups also give merits at the end of a match.

 

[eizarus]

This is the best multiplayer I've played in any MP shooter ever, yep I'm going there.

The campaign is fantastic.... man, this is some serious 9.5/10 stuff: it deserves to get a massive player base, I hope they maintain marketing to get it to the line.

I'm holding off on calling it the best multiplayer shooter I've ever played, but I really can't come up with anything I don't like. I've really hit the honeymoon phase hard with this game.

Edit: really hope some of the devs check out this thread. While I haven't tried it yet, the single player mode is getting praised on a level way beyond what anyone had expected, especially from a military FPS. Kudos, Respawn.

 

[dugdug]

I have the same issue (ps4) mp is off limits to me right now.

Curious, which coast are you on? Or, which server are you connecting to, rather?

 

[Nikana]

Forgive me if this has been said.

So I keep see that when I'm using a weapon that I'm completing challenges with the weapon, but I cannot find anywhere in the menu a spot that actually shows what the challenges are. Am I crazy or does that mean you just not exist?

 

[NuKERxyz]

After several hours on PC I double dipped on ps4 (waiting for that pro bump too).
Respawn deserve all the respect for the changes they made after that Beta, they also deserve MP Goty award, even against the also fantastic Bf1.

I joined gaf on PC, hope I can join ps4 group too.

I live in Southern California and the closest data center is in Portland. Lowest ping I get is 60ms which is a lot more than I'm used to

 

[robotrock]

Starting to really enjoy the MP!

Love Attrition

 

[Garrett Hawke]
