I love the militia side.
Yes, and there is a lot of teamwork in this game. I never knew I could have so much fun with multiplayer shooter again.
No starting titan burn cards or nothing?

So the COD migration is complete?
To be fair, there rarely is proper teamwork in pubs with randoms even in the best team-based shooters, especially not so soon after release when the meta hasn't really developed yet. You have to get into scrims and pickup games and such to really bring that out of the game.

90% of my games end up like this. Playing cs / quake / cod / whatever other shooter helps I guess. I'm having fun but at this point it feels like I'm just stomping people and it's getting old. Also being able to call in a titan the moment you spawn is a really stupid idea. I've done it in a few games and basically won the game because of it. They should get rid of that burn card.
Games like battlefield, halo, and Gears thrive on teamwork...which makes them much more interesting to me overall. TF is a rush though and a ton of initial fun...not sure it will stick. It feels like a better version of the cod formula.
I was playing with a group from here in CTF and we won most of the time 6-0 via employing some cool strategies. This game has tons of strategies that can be used. Respawn gave us a lot of different ways to handle things.

My framerate ranges from 25-60 FPS. Current settings:
-Full Screen 1080p
-4xMSAA
-V-Sync Disabled (I have a 120 Hz Monitor, why is my framerate capping at 60fps with V-Sync disabled?)
Texture Resolution: Very High
Texture Filtering: Anisotropic 8x
Lighting Quality: Low
Shadow Detail: Medium
Effects Detail: Medium
Model Detail: Medium
Impact Marks: Low
Ragdolls: Medium
I even lowered the Audio effects like I saw someone suggest in a previous page. No dice.
I can max out most games with smooth framerate, it doesn't seem like this game should be running so poorly on my machine...
Again:
i7 920 overclocked to 3.9GHz
GeForce GTX 580
12 GB DDR3
Am I missing something? Is this typical performance with this game given the system specs?
Edit: WTF? When I turn on double buffering it raises my framerate to 120...wat? Shouldn't it be the opposite?

Finished the 2 campaigns plus a couple of hours of traditional attrition, not a single issue (xbone). Its been a clean launch for me, props to Respawn and MS servers.
Game is what I expected and a bit more, level design is superb, those skyboxes man...
The only downside is the "campaign", its like mhee I don't even know what's going on. I rarely care for stories in videogames, this one is even more like whateva, I guess I have to listen to this dudes because I need the unlocks.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
This is just blatantly false. I actually haven't used as much teamwork and strategy in another FPS in a long time. My group dominated hardpoint domination and attrition using teamwork and strategy and one time we even won when we were outnumbered.
For instance, in Battlefield 4, I felt like I couldn't use teamwork or strategy in domination because people died too quickly. In TitanFall, that isn't the case, and you can really use your pilot abilities and other general abilities to turn things around.
I'm not sure honestly haha. The first team to get Titans on that map is almost sure to win though.
Yeah, there's no splash damage. You need to be directly on the target or else it does nothing. Not a god weapon against Pilots.

My buddy on PC is having some major issues with the game.
His specs:
i5-2500K
GTX 570 1.2GB
4 GB RAM
He was running the beta just fine, but in the full game he has had no luck actually loading a level other than the training one. He gets into a lobby, the game starts, he sees the loading background, and then it hangs for a minute. He gets in, spawns and then the game tries to reconnect to the main server, and instantly kicks him. He has reinstalled it already.

I agree and it takes way to long to charge it when you go down sites with it.
I've tried them all and always return to either the 40mm or the chaingun -- depending on the situation.
Are there other unlocks besides the two titan bodies?
What gametype are you playing? Hardpoint, CTF and Last Titan require a bit more effort than run around and kill everything.

What are you talking about? To do well it requires good team work. Teamwork is how you keep titans up the longest. Otherwise experienced players can decimate titans. How exactly is there "zero" teamwork? Lol

Why yes, yes it should be. I guess it might be fixed with a patch but it's pretty unacceptable.

So has anyone else named their Titan? I feel really attached to mine every time I call it in to the battlefield. His name is Sparky (until I feel creative and give it a more fitting name)

Anyone with a GT 660 find the best settings for maintaining a smooth 60 at 1080p and preferably 4xaa?

Not that I know about. I went from level 1 to 18 by playing both campaigns, so there were a bunch of regular unlocks thou...
I believe there's just 3.
3 different chassis (damage, mobility, health).
My favorite new trick:
1. Wait until your have your Titan ready for a drop.
2. Rodeo a Titan that isn't already engaged in combat with another Titan - preferably one at full health.
3. If the pilot is smart, he will disembark from his Titan to engage you.
4. As soon as the Titan you're riding on kneels and stops, point your reticule at the ground directly below your feet and call in your own Titan.
5. Jump off the enemy Titan!
Even if the pilot manages to gun you down, he gets to watch his shiny new Titan get crushed by your incoming Titan. The animation to load into the cockpit takes so long that even if enemy pilot reboards his Titan, he probably won't be able get out of the way even if he realizes what's about to happen. In a worst case scenario you die and you kill a Titan. In a best case scenario, you live and both the pilot and Titan get squashed by the Titan's Fall.

Ah okay as I thought. Any missable achievements? (I don't look at the list, but would like to know if there is something specific to do in the campaign)
Alternative:
1. Rodeo a Titan
2. They disembark
3. Jump off and toss a satchel
4. Blow it up and laugh
I was having the same issues...6 gig video card, 32 gigs of ram and over clock 4.2.
I updating my card drivers and was still getting that shitting 20 frame a second shit. Looked some shit up...and it looks like I need to update my intel stuff.

One thing I really appreciated in the beta was the amount of points you got from playing the objectives in Hardpoint, as opposed to just lonewolfing it and racking up kills. It did seem to lead to a bit more teamwork than there would have otherwise been, since players were encouraged to attack and defend points.
Your level really only represents how long you've played -- not your skill level.
I don't even know if this game is doing anything to match people of equal skill level. I haven't played an FPS very seriously, but I honestly thought skill-matching made it less fun overall. It made sure that almost every match was a pretty challenging slog. I like it when there are blowouts from time to time.
How many satchels to blow up a titan?
What is this satchel thing you speak of? I don't think I've used or unlocked it.
