It is a pain. I have no idea why they didn't include an option to let players select the campaign.
Or why they didn't include an option to let players name their custom loadouts, for that matter.

Anyone having any luck with the sniper rifles? I usually don't use them and only tried the first one for a bit after it unlocked. Game is way too fast for them it seems, but then again I'm always awful with a sniper rifle, so it could just be me.

I imagine that this has already been asked but where is the cheapest I can get Titanfall for the PC in the UK?
Smoke works really well when playing hardpoint. You can always hold one of the points with a Titan and when some one rodeos you just pop smoke. I also use it when suiciding against other titans. Rush in when weak start punching, blow smoke and then eject with the nuclear option. Last game I just got lucky and got a triple.

They could surely patch in naming custom loadouts.

Mouse wheel up/down for melee is the only change I made. I never used the scroll wheel to switch to my pistol anyway so I figured the wheel is perfect for melee, it's a big improvement to me.

Yeah, if it was like CoD and the like then I couldn't see this game holding my interest for long. As it is now, this is going to be a franchise that will be one of my favorite franchises this generation. I can already see that based on my playtime thus far with TitanFall. It may not be a revolutionary FPS, but it definitely brings way more to the table than any other FPS like it by far.
Fair enough.
There have been times where I've survived and killed a dude that had the drop on my, but my reaction has never been 'oh, I earned that' like it is in Halo, as much a 'oh, that guy's gonna be piiiiiisssssssssssed'.
Compared to the Titans, where I use the tactical abilities and the dash to use cover, and then reacquire and reengage when by shields go back up. Feels soo good.
I think Halo still requires more skill in that sense (just because a player gets a drop on another player in no way indicates a kill for the first player) but I still feel like skill is required to get out of bad situations as a pilot. My deaths as a pilot have never felt cheap, even when I was the one who got a drop on a player and yet died by a pilot who reacted accordingly. In my opinion, TitanFall and Halo are perfect examples of great FPS games that don't really feel cheap.
With that said, I agree that the Titan gameplay is fantastic as well. Last Titan Standing is one of my favorite gametypes too.
Yea they said that will be in the next patch or something.
There's just something that feels off about damage feedback. I generally know how many hits from the Carbine, CAR, LMG, etc to kill, but it feels like each time I use the weapon, it changes; and it will change by something as small as like 2 bullets. So I'll be shooting a guy with the CAR and I'll put the usual amount of bullets in and he isn't dead. If I die, I really feel cheated. Hearing and seeing weapons also effects things too. When I hear the Carbine, I know how many bullets I can take, but if they're using the burn card Carbine everything changes.
Also I've gotten caught on a bunch of crap on the maps. The worst offenders are the cylinders on Rise(?). I'll be in a firefight on the catwalks and I'll back into one. The change in mobility completely messes with you. Again, if I die in the situation, I don't feel outplayed, I feel cheated.
I understand Nuclear Explosion is supposed to be large. There was one time when I was pretty far away, had the shield core active and I still got killed by the blast.
I dunno, I guess I don't see myself playing this in 6 months.

Friends leadearboards and clan functionality need to be thrown in the mix.

I'm getting a controller glitch, using l2/r2 leads to me teleprorting/the game going weird... Anyone else?
They're my preferred weapons. I like the last one much more than the first though. You gotta fire off your shots quickly to be effective with the initial one. The other, just gotta lead your target.
mega agree on all points except I haven't tried Last Titan Standing yet

Got my Origin key on Ebay £26.85
Do you actively move around or do you hang back a bit? It feels so wrong to sit back with a sniper rifle to me.

Sooo. Just started playing this and got a sniper rifle. I really can't see the use of it. The pace is crazy high to keep up with. Are they even viable? Have you been able to use one successfully? I can hardly get people with the carbine at times.
Oh well. Me and titan bro will just stand over here spraying bullets I guess. Guard mode FTW.

Do we have a thread yet for Gaf player names? Nobody on my Origin plays fps games.
Nope.
We did have a list somewhere. I was looking for it earlier actually but couldn't find it.

Got an XBOX ONE just for this game. And I have a great PC and a PS4. I need to play with the homies on LIVE.
seems like the the de facto solution here will be to use an xpadder profile that maps Z to D-pad right. I could throw together a package...
Oh shit I forgot about that button. Hate c for melee but I'll try that, thanks. Is delayed auto sprint useful? I pretty much seem to sprint everywhere anyway
I can't find it but dreamgazer made one.
Look at "Documents\Respawn\Titanfall\local\settings.cfg"
You should be able to change the mappings there.
If you like fast pace leveling system based fps, then yes....if you don't have a competent PC
I realised pretty early on that I am simply not as good as many of the players - they play longer, have better reflexes etc. so attrition can be annoying. But I'm loving hardpoint mode. Have you tried all of the game modes to see if some click with you better?

Does anybody know a way of making your stats public or finding out the stats of other players?
I don't honestly care about K/D that much, I just want to bug a close, long-time friend who told me for months how he would own me at this game cause he's so much better at COD (while I, in turn, am a Halo guy and own him at those games). And I'm preeeeeetty sure, I'm killing him across the board, lol.
Just looking to rub it in a bit.
Thanks!

I move around, and use the AOG scope. The only times I hang around are when I know enemies are gonna be out in the open.

Try my earlier suggestion to tide you over (until Respawn hopefully fix it),
Use Xpadder (or similar app) and simply map the keyboards push to talk button to the right d-pad button, and that's it. You'll then have full game pad control with the ability to talk via your mic - fully tested and working perfectly..
Like so.

This is a beyond-rudimentary solution, and it should be officially embarrassing that this was necessary. Sorry Respawn! Incredible product you put together here but I have no clue how this one slipped through the cracks

Some of these burn cards are incredibly powerful. I don't think I've died yet with the 'constant stim' card active.

Had this hilarious moment where someone Titanfalled on my Titanfall and destroyed my Titan even before I could get in it. Respawn pls.
Enabling Push-to-Talk with a Gamepad on PC
Download Here (File->Download)
All this is is a legacy (free as in beer) version of Xpadder, a profile for the 360 pad (should work with anything with a standard D-pad though), and a profile for Titanfall that maps Z (push-to-talk) to D-Pad Right.
1. Unzip to wherever you like.
2. Right click on Xpadder.exe and go to Compatibility tab. Set Compatibility mode to Windows XP.
3. Open either Xpadder.exe (should default to the right profile) or titanfall.xpadderprofile
4. Play
Just make sure you have it open any time you wanna be using voice chat with your pad and turn it off (or just create a new blank profile) for playing other games.

Yeah, amazed how little people do it, especially in Hardpoint. There are some amazing spots you can Spiderman to.
