So tempting. I'll have to pick this up on PC down the line. All I want is to feel that rush again.

I generally defend a spot and if I die then I go to the closest one and capture/defend it. I'm almost always in the top 3.
Sounds like my kinda playas. Are you on X1? If so feel free to befriend GT Saqs

I dunno, I find the shotgun to be all around more horrifying than the smart pistol. It's really easy to "out run" a smart pistols lock on timer with stim or just by jumping a lot. And that thing does abysmal damage without locks.
Wait til they patch it so that you can't pick up the flag if you are in a Titan.
So fucking stupid and kills the mode for me at the moment. Once I had that figured just dash it home with the stryder.
Rodeoing would be fine but not this shit.

So I'm on Xbox One and can hear game chat through my TV but my headset isn't picking anything up. I can mute my mic and turn the volume up and down (at max I do hear the beep) but my microphone isn't picking up any sound and I can only talk to a buddy in party chat through Kinect.
Any ideas, fellas?

Nope, PC
Oh, wow, yikes! That's a surprising decision to allow that. I wonder what their reasoning was.

There's match making?
Yes. There is true skill matchmaking happening in the background according to Respawn.

I've only tried the Hardpoint mode once (during campaign) but I at least tried to do the objectives. You can add me on X1 (GT: Nyteshade517 if that's what you're on) and it would give you someone who has a worse K/D ratio than you against pilots...lol
EDIT: you're on PC...didn't see that until after I posted

I think it would be okay if carrying the flag disabled dashing or if you at least had to get out of your titan to cap it.
Really? Weird stuff. I've never seen anybody be that effective with it. If somebody's fighting me with it and I see them they have no chance against my shotgun, and if I don't see them they'd be better suited using another gun anyway unless they can't aim well, which brings us back to why it exists.
You can always use it if you feel like it's that much of an advantage..

None of that matters since you're not gonna know you're being locked onto until it's too late.

Maybe it's only on the Xbone? Otherwise their system doesn't seem to be doing anything.
time played vs skill? BS.
I'm level 6 in a room full of players all over level 20. A level 50 guy on the other team just went 23 and 1? I was killed by players using guns and tactics I have yet to learn on maps I have yet to memorize, somehow this makes a level playfield? Again, BS. This is the same thing COD does, you're either a god or a clod.
Worst MM I've ever experienced.

complaints about the smart pistol aren't ever going to go away its essentially the game's 'i died cause lag' its an easy out.
i mean dying instantly from a shotgun blast to the fast around the corner is far worse but no real complaints about that :3

Fair point. I'm just in a sidewinder phase atm. I have it equipped on all my custom classes.

Smart Pistol is trash tier. Imo the only way it's viable is if you're engaging in some Rat Titanfall shenanigans in Attrition.

It may have looked good on paper but your team just sucked or the other guy was playing a clever game and not being gung ho. I have had pretty decent match ups all the way really. Only issue I had was in campaign but in matchmaking its always been pretty even especially in the variety playlist.
I use the smoke and a cluster missile aimed at the ground or nearby wall. The combo kills them almost immediately and you'll take far less damage - just dash out of the explosions as soon as the pilot dies.

Yeah, this bothered me a whole lot. I doubt theyd patch it, though.
Rodeoing off your teammate's titan is definitely the way to go, but I agree that the mode is killed with titan caps. If any mode needs a Titan-less mode, it's CTF. I wish there was private lobbies to explore such options, and hopefully Respawn experiments and gives you guys weekly playlists updates/weekend playlists giving you these kinds of modes.
Has anyone complained about CTF? I dont see many people caring about the titans, but they should, as it sounds like it holds the mode back.
How do you feel about constantly being marked when picking up a flag? I wouldn't mind a ping-like marking, but I'm not into being marked completely. I know the game moves really fast, and with Titan caps, it may make capping flags too easy.

Levels does not equal skill level. That's hidden. Level is only time played.

I wish the game looked better on PC.

More than playable. You'll hold your own just fine. When I die, it's usually due to mistakes i've made, not because the other person has a KB/M advantage.
I will say that those with more time played have an inherent advantage still, all other things being equal. They have more unlocks for both titans and guns, so more tactical options. They also have more map knowledge just because they've been playing more. I can understand the frustration.

I just wish it ran better given how crap it looks.
As compared to what? Some other game that this game isn't?
sammyCYBORG

Great way of putting it. I'm sure that advantage still certainly exists, but it hasn't frequently been relevant to my winning or losing a fight (or dying otherwise).

I really don't think the game looks ugly.

How else do you compare graphics in games? You always compare to other games out there.
