I have yet to choose another gun since I started using the shotgun during the beta.
I have a weird fetish with the rifleman's skin, tho. Sucks I can't get both.

I've heard this a few times now.
Thankfully i've found my experience to be completely the opposite. I've found my new FPS home. This game is just about perfection... i can't stop... must get back to Titanfall lol.
Were/are you by chance into COD? Ive seen a few of my COD friends go "meh" after a few hours in TF. They miss the more "competitive" aspects.

It's really funny when two pilots try four or five times to kick each other while running and jumping in circles.

Really good news, a lot faster turn around than I was expecting. Good on Respawn/EA/MS for pushing that through.

Its even better when you try to kick someone running for their titan... Only to lock onto them and lunge with your kick upside down, to miss when they actually get into the titan.
Blew my mind.
Low TTK meaning you can't exploit the free running properly? The crutch mechanics/buffs to help bad players get kills?
I can't help but wonder if they weren't chancing some mass market appeal what this would have been with balancing akin to UT2k3 or Q3A.

The wind up on the kick is so long... if you see the guy coming just strafe out of the way.
Watching a guy miss the first kick and then commit to kicking while you gun him down is awesome.
Low TTK on foot is balanced by the long Titan fights. That's where you're going to get some flavor of your Quake/UT duels.

You should totally make a new thread, and smuggle "Digital Foundry" into the title, lol!
I´d take the time ´til GAF meltdown... ;-)
Sometimes i just lock onto them and always get it when i go for it.
.. It also teleports me behind them and breaks their neck, even when i was clearly in front of my target.

Just had the closest game of Hardpoint yet. Gosh that was good.

Have you played the game? Because from this post it sure doesn't sound like it.
People are exploiting the free running just fine, even with the current TTK.
Also, the "buffs" to help bad players are a minor footnote to a good player. Don't impact my enjoyment of the game one bit.

Yeah there are definitely situations where you can't avoid it, especially on stairs and close corridors.
Same here. It actually kind of surprised me. Given the reviews and impressions here, I was expecting something more. Can't really put my finger on it either.
Maybe that's it? I love COD (and Battlefield). From all the videos and impressions of Titanfall, assumed I would enjoy it even more. So far, I'm just not feeling it.
Its crazy seeing it when it happens... My guy just flys around them like some sort of bad kung fu movie lol.
Ive had times where he goes in a complete circle and kicks for the kill.

So is Hardpoint the best for everyone else? Its the best for me now...
CTF would be the best if I had a team I was playing with, but CTF is the most frustrating with randoms.

It is for me now as well yea.

Yeah, Additionally I'm not a fan of Titans picking up and scoring flags in CTF. Should be the pilot doing it and then being able to get in a titan. Also I find more campers in CTF. Hardpoint has everyone moving constantly and is just so much more fun to play.

Yeah, hardpoint is my favorite. Just enough strategy to be interesting, and randoms generally get the idea. I love the back and forth battling, and this is coming from a guy who never likes Domination in a COD game. It's just so well executed in this game though, I can't get enough. Regular TDM in this game seems far less interesting.
It is unfortunate though when you get players who don't think very much, and jump in their Titan when it's not doing the team any good capping points. They're battling it out while pilots are capping flags left and right.

Yeah, hardpoint is fantastic. I tried CTF once, too, and couldn't really get into it. I've been playing solo mostly so CTF is tough to play.

I was gonna say it's funnier cause it's actually a gif of the xbone's performance.

I jump out of my titan ever 3 seconds in dom lol.
When we have 3 cap i use it normally.
Works well.
Maybe you don't play on the PC? Laser guns combined with a mouse means most fights are over in a second and a half. I remember when arena shooters use to be pirouettes of death which lasted often much longer than the time it took to look at someone.

Oddly enough I agree.
The reason I say oddly enough is cause Regular TDM is usually the mode i Prefer in ALL FPS games (especially Halo games).
To kind of echo what others have been saying, something just feels off but I can't put my finger on what that is. Outside of the online "campaign", which might be the worst campaign mode I've ever played in a game, I've been enjoying the game a lot but something just.... I dunno. I beat the campaign and reached level 27 last night after about 6 or 7 hours of combined playtime. I see myself getting to level 50 and putting the game down to only play it occasionally in the future. For the record I've enjoyed every CoD, outside of Ghost, and Battlefield 3 & 4. On the plus side this is the first competitive fps that I've had a positive kill to death ratio
Yeah Hardpoint is all ive been playing. It's good for peeps like me that suck at aiming and are slower to react

Archer is amazing. Only reason I stopped using it is because I completed its challenge. Charge gun is good too, I like it because it does about same damage as Archer without warning the Titan.
I just want to verify that I cannot use Kinect to do in game voice chat?
Also I had a funny death happen today. I thought it was the enemy pilot but it turned out not to be the case. That cloud AI man...

. That cloud AI man...I think the charge weapon drops the shields completely while the archer drops it to one block.

LMFAO! That's amazing for a second there I thought it was one of those titans right outside just had a stray round hit you but nope that Specter doing his 360 noscope.

AI aim hacks
I think one of the problems is that if you have a cloak, when you eject (or at least when I auto-eject), it AUTO CLOAKS them. You don't even have to think about it.
Charge weapon doesn't drop the shields completely. I want to say Archer does slightly more damage, but it's probably just a Biz crack fantasy. They're probably equivalent.
I am hitting those close escapes:

I really enjoy Hardpoint on Boneyard. Ziplines are a lot of fun.
Also, satchels are ridiculously overpowered. I just use the active radar ability, see who's on a point, toss in a satchel and blow it up. Then I take the point and set up one or two satchels, leave, and use the radar again to see who's trying to take it.

I have had a spectre walk up, and kick me square in the face taking me down to half health.

I'm only level 7 and it's hilarious playing against people way higher level than you and still owning them. I still think there are a lot of people that don't have a good grasp of the game and the mechanics, especially movement.

True. My buddy has been playing since launch and still mostly runs to each objective instead of using parkour/wall running.

Yeah still lots of people running around on the ground like it's cod. Easy Pickens though I want to thank them for my 3.1 kd against pilots.

I completely underestimated the power of cloaking early on. Started using it more religiously when moving through open areas and before engaging any enemies and I've seen myself improve dramatically because of it. It might be easy to see a cloaked enemy when he's running on the ground, but it's a bit tougher if you're double jumping around and parkouring all over the place.

Wait...WAIT...wut?!
It looks like the ship was already beginning to take off when you ejected RIGHT INTO IT?!
Here I thought I did some broken stuff with forced ejecting.
Super smooth.
I've hacked turrets but how do you hack Spectres?
