Titanfall 2 is my favorite game of this generation. That feeling when you and your crew call in Titans at the same time....it's magical.

This got me thinking that that coordinating titanfalls is super important. If the enemy team has multiple titans, and your team has none, calling them down one by one will just lead to them getting ganged up on and wrecked immediately. Helps a lot to try and call a few down at the same time to even things up.

Try stomping 2-3 enemy titans with a full team calldown.
It's surprisingly effective and hilarious.

I'm not very good at multiplayer shooters but moments like this mean this game will never not be fun for me.
I think that's my main gripe. The game is fun but discourages movement because not moving is simply more effective.

Attrition offers the most free form nonsense, which is where this game shines the most for me, so that's my favorite. CTF and LTS are great for some more tense and strategic gameplay though, which is also fun as long as you have good teammates.
- Bounty Hunt still feels kinda awkward to me, and too easy to fall into a routine. It's fun mostly because the mechanics in this game are incredible, but I still think I like the concept more than the execution.
- Amped Hardpoint is not for me as a separate mode
- Pilot v Pilot is a crime against humanity
- FFA is whatever. I don't think the game necessarily needed it, but I guess there's an audience.
- Colosseum is odd
And I'll never stop saying that the other playlists should be condensed into a Warzone style rotating objective mode with Titans + AI, because I feel that could be Titanfall's greatest use of it's core ideas, mechanics, and map design. A lengthier game mode where the shifting objectives change the dynamics of the match and make full use of maps.
This is probably the best way to get the story

A lot of the banter is story, so watch the full thing.

IMO watching the IMC one is pretty pointless. You'll see why.

In about a week when every player on every team is running sonar blade + map hack, the game will borderline unplayable.

I feel bad for all of friends that got Battlefield because all I want to play is Titanfall now.
I had a fucking awesome game earlier today. We were down hard [in attrition]. My out of titan pilot skills are pretty mediocre. This guy on the other team was killing it. First to fall with a Ronin. He was also pretty slick piloting that chassis. He got so many melee kills, just ridiculous.
After our team starting getting titans, it was night and day. After being down by over 100 points, we brought it back. I think we won by over 50. I had six titan kills. It was just such a great game. I really need to start recording some of this gameplay.
Some people don't like Ion, but it is all I've used so far. I cannot wait to get back into it. Fuck, I need vacation time or something. I still haven't had a chance to finish the campaign.

We are paying attention to these things. If it goes sideways then obvious balance knobs are the costs / cool downs.

I love the game, I just think if the base health was upped just a little bit to make gun fights more survivable people would camp less and the game would play much better because of it.

A week? It's already happening.
Respawn's greatest accomplishment as a developer in the year of our lord 2016 would be removing both of them.
Just think of the headlines: "Respawn Entertainment releases a patch that removes content; players rejoice, angels get their wings, Shigeru Miyamoto cries one tear of joy."
ehhhhh
that's... a lot of exposition that doesn't get touched on in the campaign. The video of Militia campaign is much better
Nice dude. This game is great for making the players feel like a badass.
Hope to see the new maps address that. Honestly surprised that they didn't see this coming.

You are correct. I usually wait until at least one of my teammates has a Titan to call mine in. We wrecked the opposing team tonight in a few matches by having at least 3 Titans together at the same time.
It's a bad feeling to be a lone Titan chasing an opponent around a corner to find two more enemy Titans waiting for you.
That seems like a weird choice.
What exactly do you lose/gain? Do you get to keep stuff you've unlocked with credits?

Yeah, that's what i mean. I was going to unlock the jammer early because i thought it would counter map hack. Used to love jamming uav in cod. No idea who would use jammer it its current state
Yeah besides some of the maps just not promoting movement, glowing like a spooky Jackolantern isn't helping since it's so easy to see someone parkouring. Maybe make it so barely moving makes you glow brighter and when you move you barely glow?

just got the game, thanks for telling me what to use
Here's what you lose:
- Access to Weapons (unless you unlocked them with Credits)
- Access to Titans (unless you unlocked them with Credits) <-- they are only like 20c anyway
- LOADOUTS AND THEIR NAMES
- Access to Boosts and Faction
What you keep:
- Weapon progress and unlocks
- Titan progress and unlocks
- All applied Camo and Skins
- Faction progress

Do you mean that we have to unlock the weapons all over again?
I've just shared this on my facebook. What lovely clip. Can you keep the original? It should be part of a montage
We should do that, a TitanGAF montage

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
I know this likely won't happen, but I don't think Map Hack should be in the game at all. Sonar is hit or miss, but that should probably be the only kind of thing available in the game for map awareness (if anything like it must be available at all). Map Hack just feels cheap and I don't know anyone that likes its inclusion -- I didn't even like it as a burn card in the original, but at least you had to have the card.
I'm glad y'all are paying attention to it though.
If it wasn't, would Ronin be good for anything?
firehawk12
Subete no aware
The R201 is kind of a do it all gun and I still haven't found a reason to switch now.
I really love North Star, although not being able to cast the shield wall is an incredible nerf from the first game.

I am on PC
Guys I am so saddened that this game isn't even on pace for TF1 at this point (from what I understand)
It make me frustrated to see that Respawn made so many different match types in multiplayer, as of 8pm PST, there is only around 7-8k online.
What is the most popular match type? I actually want to play this game with other people

Bounty Hunt and Attrition, every other mode is #ded lol
Yeah makes sense. I just didn't know if melee damage was different for each titan.
Ronin is fun but I almost always end up trading bc I'm not evasive enough yet.
You guys like attrition over hard point?

So amazon still hasnt shipped my vanguards edition. Instead, they said theyre sorry, and Ill be receiving the item soon. And sent me a digital code for the full standard version of the game for ps4. Im here thinking, should I claim it, or wait for the vanguard to arrive...

I never looked back to R201 once I got hemlok and G2A5.
This is gonna turn people away, it either needs to be removed completely or nerfed to hell.
Christ you use to get banned for wallhacking in counter strike but they give it to you on these games.
Now we are at that point where most people can unlock it, and now maphack is on almost all the time. It's obnoxious.
Hemlok is too horizontal for me.
Oh speaking of guns. Whoever made the Mastiff needs a raise. What an amazing shotgun.
I keep meaning to try it out, but always go with SMGs... This endorsement encourages me to do so next time I play.
On an unrelated note, I shot a dude out of the air when he ejected from his titan a fair distance out using a thermite launcher. It was one of those moments where not having my capture card setup was cry-worthy.
Man the Mastiff and Mozambique are two of my favorite weapon designs in forever. Too bad they're not all that practical in use though.

Yes, that's some PTSD inducing shit right there.
I feel naked without my titan.
I think it gets it right for the most part though. Some dude slid under my melee one time and melee'd me from behind. Not sure if that is possible or not
/frustrated
Just beat effect and cause tonight. Damn that was amazing. I am trying tout savor the camain playing a chapter a night. Playing on Hard which I would recommend to others
