Happened all day to me, UK (Xbox). Doesn't make any sense because it'll say I have like 29 ping but in game it'll fluctuate from 50 to like 400 ever half second.

Same. I tried the Hemlock, and was disappointed. Then put my hands on the G2 and I've been rocking fools since.
Damn, that was smooth. I can hardly hit 35 seconds. I really need to practice.

argh, this loading screen bug is really annoying. I have to exit the game through task manager like every three or four matches now. At least this time I created a dump of the process in case the devs want it.
Also occcurs during single player as well, which is doubly annoying.

It's amazing how much better I am with a controller than a KB/Mouse in this game. I was getting stomped on PC and I'm rolling on PS4

Complex is just awful. It's a mess of a map, and super cluttered. There's just so much garbage laying around.

Heard that single player can't be played offline? True or bullshit?
I'd be curious to know how you'd do with a controller on the PC version now that you know you can do it on consoles.
Been thinking about making the switch on PC.
gonna unplug my ethernet cable and check for you.
Bullshit. Origin should let you play offline, and of course consoles are consoles, so...

I've been doing just fine on PC with a controller
Yeah that. I just had a 1500 ping.
It's bullshit. Unplugged my ethernet cable, opened Origin, then opened Titanfall 2, got into campaign easy.
yo..
Surface of Me
I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Who in the FUCK thought I want to listen to random ass people over my TV at the multiplayer screen just cause we are in the same network? This is feature nobody would want.
Yup! That's why I stay in TitanGAF.
I switched up because I wanted to get an early Happy Hour in and I noped the fuck out of that.
Same. Consistently placing in top 3 with a controller.
yeah there is an option to turn the stuff on the right side.
Pilot 8v8 is fucking broken because of how many people abuse sonar and map hack. it's just so stupid to have all these abilities to see through walls.

Ditto, I'm SUPER surprised how well I'm doing here. Like in BF1 I could see me doing well with the added aim assist in that since it's a slower paced game anyway, but man am I able to keep up and beat a lot more people than I expected to in Titanfall 2.
^ Honestly the only thing I've been down on is the Wall hack stuff
And the lack of people so no way to play some playlists :/

I played the first game with a controller on PC and always did well. Only reason I went with PS4 this time is because of how quickly the community died in the first game
Yeah it made no sense when someone posted earlier but I wasn't sure

Sweet thanks for checking!!
Really confusing map too. I've yet to grasp how to get outside consistently during the epilogue.
I think Crash site is great. Not sure if I have a strong opinion either way on Complex yet

Never used Origin until this game and Battlefield 4, I can see why it's a piece of crap now.
Alt Tabbing out of the game every time it wants to notify me of anything, and since there's no borderless window for this game, I basically get frozen very often.
I know I can use something like advance options command or borderless gaming, but my framerate tanks really bad in that case.

Erm I'm not a tech savvy person but what do the data centers do? Are they essentially servers?

You would think with all the constant map hacks and sonar daggers etc, that there would be a way to appear hidden from them with an ability like cold blooded or something so you don't show up. The invisible thrusters are ok but it's not enough really.

So after over 30 hours time to give my impressions.
This is the sequel I didn't know I wanted.
I loved OG Titanfall. I put over 200 hours into it and loved every minute. Titanfall 2 was my most anticipated game of 2016. I wanted much more of the same. The Tech Test though had me a little worried. No Attrition and average maps. Bounty Hunt was not the best game mode.
They changed the Titan / Pilot dynamic with the addition of batteries and non regen shields. I was not a fan of the new Rodeo.Unable to change Titan chassis and weapons was disappointing.
But they made some tweaks for weekend two and it grew on me for the most part.
Fast forward to launch and I was super hyped. Even though knew it wasn't really the sequel I wanted. And it delivered. I get all the changes that Respawn made now.
It just works so well. Everything. The balance in the game is incredible. Every load out works and nothing is OP. The Titans can destroy but all have a weakness that can be exploited by the right enemy Titan. Batteries are brilliant.
And the campaign. Just incredible.The critical response to this game has been outstanding and none of it is hyperbole. I hope commercial success comes their way too. It won't sell like a Battlefield or COD, I think even Respawn know that. It deserves it though.
Before retiring for the evening, one final clip. I get my Titan, Northstar, without being billed. And she wrecks the enemy Grunts, Pilots, and Titans.

And goes out in heroic style with a Flight Core
This game.
Edit: Respawn devs/team who read this. Please share with your colleagues. You really do deserve high praise. I am really looking forward to future updates.

yeah
lower ping, the faster you can send and receive data
if there aren't enough people in your best data centre, it'll switch you to another one
Never heard a single person on my mp screen. I'm in the gaf thing.
Looking at it. You can mute stuff so it's not a problem.
Just wanna chime in and say this game is bloody great.
Beat the campaign last night (think I clocked around 5hrs like most are saying?) which was an absolute blast. I feel like I'll play it again at some point, but for now the multiplayer is where it's at.
The moment-to-moment gameplay is just so fluid and fun. Sorry Overwatch and SFV, but this will be my go-to comfort game for the foreseeable future!

because gaf peeps have better things to do than chat shit in a lobby
We have plenty of those games. We got what gaming needs in Titanfall 2

Picked this up (quite unexpectedly) thanks to that single player praise thread, had a question about multiplayer
One of the reasons I almost never play shooter MP is because how frustrating it is to be a new player and getting destroyed and outclassed by higher-ranked, better-equipped players. Is it like that here or is it more welcoming to new players learning the ropes?

Does that mean that if I'm not in a US data center I won't be able to play with GAF?

Seems fine imo for newer players. I got a legion chassis early and went to town. I have an off game here and there, but usually in top two.
Garrett Hawke

So so. There are modes with AI npcs as objectives which is great as it lets you learn things while fighting things you can easily outperform. Obviously there are still enemy pilots and titans running around but it offers enough to do that you can learn the ropes.
In terms of better equipment... yes, unfortunately. The more you use a weapon the more accessories and unlocks you get for it and the better it becomes. But it's never really too much of an issue because the guns are all great in their basic form anyway. They just get... better, but it's mostly things like ammo count or reload speed so it doesn't directly affect TTK.

I haaaaaaaaaaaaaate the Sonar Pulse and Map Hack. I'd be completely fine if only Tone had wallhacks, but people are abusing the hell out of these abilities. I'm coated in orange for like half of most of my matches and it makes flanking so much harder because there are no countermeasures when 3-4 people are popping these things every 30 seconds. There are already no silenced weapons, which I'm okay with, but this is overkill. Everyone's always lit up on your UI.
On the other hand, executions always make me feel better.

The starting assault rifle you get to use is basically use able in any situation in MP IMO, so in terms of equipment you wont necessarily find that everyone else has an advantage, just more options.
I'd suggest trying it with a group of players first instead of lone wolfing it too, probably would be the easiest way to make it seem less frustrating until you're used to the combat/situations in MP. Also stick to Bounty Hunt and Attriton since those have AI so you don't have to be engaging only with actual people in order to win. This game definitely seems like it can have a much a higher gap between low level and high level play, so expect to run into some people who will just trounce everyone in their way.

It's a weird one. It's not too bad if only one or two people are using it and it definitely has a place. But then on the other hand if everyone has one it feels like by the time one is finished, another has been popped.I haaaaaaaaaaaaaate the Sonar Pulse and Map Hack.

Still though, I don't think the sonar pulse is op as it is easily outplayed by just running away. The map hack isn't out playable though and although it's a boost you can still get 3-4 per game so might need tweaking.

It's a boost that you get. One of the last to be unlocked though and it replaces your secondary weapon. Also it only has 24 bullets and is more aim dependant than in tf1 - it locks on quicker the closer you are to your target and the closer to the centre of the reticule the target is.
