If your Titan is in doomed state which is indicated by a striped health bar, a melee attack from enemy Titan will execute you.
Nah, it's very easy.
You just need to practice more, go watch videos of somebody like FrothyOmen or Gamesager and see how fluent their movement is.
I've gotten pretty good at bunny hopping with an elite controller, but I think my stick sensistivity is too high or something cuz damn at high speed I can't aim for shit.
My one annoyance is that when you ADS the zoom is almost too much. Like the gun you have takes up too much of the screen, at least with the CAR and R201 rifle IMO. I've lost tracked of pilots because the gun has blocked my view :S

I'll admit, I felt like this a little bit when I was playing M+KB, but when I switched to my DS4 it suddenly clicked. I'm curious to see if that means I'm going to get crushed once I start playing MP though.
No, which makes no sense.

He is 90% off his rocker.
But the one thing I would recommended is to new people is to turn "auto sprint" on from the menus. There is no stamina meter in this game so there is no reason not to autorun all the time. And that is one less button to worry about.

People crying for Legion nerf lol this is how you continue ruining Titan gameplay
Git gud and learn to deal.
Tone and Northstar are good counters at distance. Legions shield is on a timer and has to reload. Use that to your advantage.
Ronin can wreck Legion. Get in and get out. Do. Not. Melee. As tempting as it is to whip his sword don't do it. Just don't.
Makes perfect sense. It's a melee.

I really want to 1v1 people who claim this.
It's outright bull. I mean, one shotty hit doing 50% doesn't convince you that Ronin just isn't meant to fight Legion?
Also... Legion doesn't have to reload with Smart Core lmao, it's 15 seconds of infinite ammo + a clip before and after

This is what i worry about too. I dont envy Respawn. Ronin could get real OP really easy.
Maybe buffing his normal melee to bonus damage and putting a cool-down on it so they can't spam it non-stop like they're all trying to do now? Not sure but he's more like a glass slingshot than glass cannon currently ;P

Same! lol i'll try later with Ultima but i SUCK at Legion.
People are nuts thinking two equal skill level players... one in a Ronin and one in a Legion... is going to go the way or Ronin.
It might happen 8 times out of 10... but that Legion player is going to fucking MELT Ronin. Hell, even a mediocre Legion player will stand his own against an elite Ronin player.
Let's see the proof those saying Ronin will take Legion. Show me the receipts! lol

I told everyone to do this
Compared to how my Stryder held up against the other Titans in TF1, right now he just feels like the weakest of them all.
Loving the game so far, couple of small critiques though:
Sniper Rifles though can be played well just don't work with the new map design/re-spawn system. It just seems that it is not a viable choice when comparing them to the other weapons (on console).
Some minor tweaking in Titan balancing needs to happen
Really miss the gen challenge system I loved how it progressed you through weapons and tactics to end you at gen 10 as a well rounded player it also helped split up the big grind between generations, hoping that they will bring this back in someway with new skins
Reward skin for gen 10 just look bad, most of the weapons base textures look better than it, would have been cool to be like a chromed or metallic black or have some kind of particle effect attached.
Progression not reseting when you gen a weapon/titan/pilot again makes it feel more grindy in my opinion
I much prefered the titan voice system from Tf1 to this new factions, i miss my japanese waifu titan shouting "Dash core kidou" at me :'(
Oh and frontier defence needs to return...
But all in all after the bad taste of the beta I'm pleasantly surprised at how much fun the game is to play which is what kept me hooked to Tf1.

Eh, him and Northstar both feel equally frail IMO... but the thing is Northstar can hide away at distance and do chip damage whereas Ronin is forced to get up closer to deal damage. I think the lack of a true defensive option for Northstar balances this but yes... i generally agree. Ronin (and Legion) need some balancing.
Auto sprint FTW! I'm not sure if you play on console or PC but on PS4 with auto sprint selected you can still walk/run by moving the left analog maybe 1/4 of the distance in any direction. You'll only sprint when you max out your left stick in a direction. It's perfection. You dont need to click... it's like Mario 64 run/walk/sprint. lol
AH okay.
I play like this. You can hear the double clicks I do haha

Oh no da' claw!!!! lol I use a Scuf.... but that brings back old Halo 2 memories haha!
How do you play for hours? Are you not in constant pain with that claw grip?
it's super comfortable dude
i've been doing this since halo ce so... I must have been like... 8 or 9?
know what... maybe 11 or 12, I don't think we had the Xbox when it released...
If I ever felt like I had to play a game like this I'd drop it immediately.

So this is most of you?

Nothing will help you
Stryder could hold his own with the right damage output. But since weapons are now tied to specific Titans its a bit more difficult to learn.

This is the most garbage player ever.
I have had people use their cores when it wouldn't do enough damage, but nothing like this lmao

To those who haven't played the campaign yet.
It's not the next portal 2 or half life 3.
It's a good campaign but it's not GOAT,
I still love the atmosphere and style of gameplay.

You freak.
It makes sense that a punch does the same damage as a sword slash? Hmm.

How's the PC GAF population? Worth getting this game? I adored TF1, but got really soured by the beta. :/

I like how the campaign's pacing and escalation is done quite well. That is the proper way to do a campaign or any story for that matter.

Yes
Take Overwatch for example. Genji or Roadhog do not gain a damage boost simply because they have a weapon in their hand as they melee. I believe the only exception is Rein. His hammer/melee is his primary, so there is a damage bump.
SmartWaffles
Member
Torbjorn's hammer does the same damage as Rein as well.
The few times I checked there were about 24K people online. Not great numbers IMO considering in the short time the MWR MP door opened there were 100K people online.
I do like this game but I have major concerns about the health of this game online after IW comes out.

Finished the campaign last night, that was really fun.
Ion is the best counter to Legion imo, they always put up shields and unload into me, so I absorb all of their bullets and they move so slow while firing it's easy as hell to sidle around their shield and throw all of that ammo back in their face. Almost an instant kill.
The whole end segment where you're jumping from ship to ship is awesome, and the smart pistol segment makes you feel like a god.

It's super unfair to compare any game to a giant of a game as a COD title. There is only a handful of games that come close to those numbers in a year.
In this case I think it would be more balanced if Ronin's melee did a lot more damage. He's just way under-powered right now. If I have to expose myself with my low health to attack, I better be able to rip people apart when I get there.
I super agree. Or a Legion that times his shield a little better haha
Hey all, I'm streaming from PS4 if anyone is interested. Watch Arrrammis on Twitch! http://www.twitch.tv/arrrammis?sr=a
Streaming directly from ps4, so no fancy overlay, but just kind of trying it out.

Just finished the campaign, took me about 8 hours on hard, I'm lost for words to describe the epicness I just played.
What an amazing feeling....I feel so, satisfied.

I understand MWR is a game everybody wants but the game is 10 years old and had 100K people playing. I do agree with what you're saying but that still doesn't change the fact that as good as this game is online, it may only have a short shelf life. Hope I am wrong though.
