Depends on your play style, really, along with the maps and your general load out.
I think for sheer versatility, the Carbine probably can't be beat. It's very good at long range, solid at mid-range, and quite dependable at shorter distances.
There are different weapons that are more powerful at each of those distances - sniper at long-range, SMG at mid-range, and shotgun at close-range - but I don't think any other weapon can do all three so well.
It makes you do certain challenges on each gen before letting you do it again, so you'll have to use different weapons and abilities instead of sticking to what works.

Scatterfire SMG is the bullet hose we deserve.
The req for 5th Gen is annoying as fuck. You have to play a certain way and even then, it's time consuming.
The req for 6th Gen might even be worse than that. It requires you to kill 50 ejecting pilots.
oh god. I haven't killed a single one yet.
Neither have I. If they eject, I just dash out of range and watch for their landing.
Let me explain a bit more. Some of the reqs for 5th Gen included:
Top Gun V with the Longbow
Kill Everything that moves with the Longbow
Get 30 Critical Hits with the Charge Laser
The last one took me fucking forever because a critical hit is when a Titan's shields are down and you hit that glowing red spot on their body. So you have this slow ass charging laser and you need to hit like their backs on face plate while their jumping around.
People will boost for this shit.
I'm praying that they don't mean midair as that would be a nightmare. If a person is ejecting then 90% of the time, they're cloaked. Surely they don't mean kill a cloaked person midair?

you have a list of the regen requirements? i'm trying to plan ahead.
Doesn't really matter, you can't do them in advance.
In fact, I think some of these challenges are made up just for the Gen stuff.
The Gooser challenge isn't listed anywhere other than the Gen section.

The wait time between rounds is stupidly long. It also takes forever for the maps to load for me too so between rounds I have like a 3 minute down time
I feel like Perk 2 are way weaker overall, I wonder if that's intentional.I wish power cell and enhanced parkour were on different perk kits.
I find power cell to be almost indispensable because I love stimming around everywhere, but the parkour kit is also lovely.
Guess it wouldn't really be balanced, but man would it be fun.
Played for 2 hours just as it launched here in the EU. Remind you guys it's midnight now and yes there are people playing but Microsoft and EA for Origin should expect tommorow a huge flux of players when they come home around 4 or 6 o'clock in the evening. But man this game is sooo mutch fun. Unlocked the stryder now i for the ogre. Campaign MP is the only one time i will do to unlock those titans after that just doing MP.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
How does one perform a wall hang?
They don't make you do them during that gen?
Aim/Sight while running a wall.
Wall run -> RMB or left trigger

Thanks. Got owned a few times by players doing this. Time for sweet revenge!

Respawn is already taking steps against cheaters

"Finding cheaters in Titanfall? So are we. We're logging them now and they will be rooted out shortly."

The one burn card that has you permanently stimmed is incredible.
Yeah for the most part they seem less strong. Looks like the Perk 1 stuff has more meaningful buffs to your Pilot, specifically.
I do remember quite liking the Warpfall Transmitter in the beta because I'd use it to squash other Titans more effectively.
I'm quite curious how effective the Guardian Chip is. I leave my Titan on guard or follow mode on occasion, depending on various circumstances (capturing certain points, for example).
Haha yeah I love that one. And I seem to get the one that boosts your movement speed quite often as well. Prosthetic Legs
Or Domination. I hate it when people do not do the objective...
Same here. I think it just gives you cards for stuff you use more as it happens with amped weapons a lot too.
But man, that perma stim. It doesn't even take up your slot, so you can still have active radar or cloak with it. Also why I like Prostetic Legs as you can stim on top of the natural boost you have.
Trying some if the other weapons now that I've finished the campaign. God damn I suck with the g2a4 rifle. Takes forever to scope it and way to many bullets to kill a dude.
In fact it seems like close combat guns is the way to go considering how fast the game moves.
Matchmaking kind of blows. Getting paired up with dudes who have already prestige'd.

Thanks for that, that'll be amazingly helpful.
Though, to be fair, I'm not entirely sure I'll go past Generation 2 to be honest.
Nope. It clears all progress which wipes challenges like that.

So why is it that every game I join of last titan standing the team I am on is terrible =\ I keep joining games that are on the last 2 rounds and the team Im put on has no rounds won at all and they just die so fast so easily. I am consistently the last titan alive against 3 or 4 or 5 titans on the other team..
How do they expect anyone to get that "plasma rail gun someone who just ejected" achievement if random matchmaking pairs you with bad players so often =(

Nope. All that shit resets.

Wifey wants to hang out, but all I want to do is play Titanfall!
...No way I'm doing all that.
This is logic!
I personally can't convince myself that losing all my stuff is a good idea.
