Why do you need two games running at once? Games kinda want as much resources as possible.

It's not an issue of PC resources. For some reason it causes a bizarre server conflict.

And I am trying to watch a dota match while playing TF. Also I almost always have Dota running while I wait for parties to form and it's nice to have some other game to play while I wait. Looks like TF won;t be that game. Ah well.

 

[Nyteshade517]

I must have pissed off the Titanfall gods or something today because I am constantly in matches where there are 6 enemy Titans up and nobody tries to bring them down and we get demolished

 

[SargerusBR]

What the fuck is this "did not received token from Origin" problem? i already did every step recommended and still didn't fixed this issue.

 

[Rahk]

How is the origin overlay activated again? I can't get it to activate.

Should be shift + F1.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

Where do the games screenshots save anyways?

I can't seem to find them, the keybind is f10 right? Or am I retarded?

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Is there a way to make Origin make some noise when I get a message/invite? I keep getting invited to games but missing them because I don't even know about them.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Ha, sorry. I did the typical:

• anyone want to play?
• instantly just load into the game and play 4 matches
• feel the need to take a break
• discover 5 friend invites
• do'h

This is the only game that makes my hands hurt to play it for a long time. It's so intense.

 

[lastflowers]

titanfall on the computer is a very different beast than on the console. Jesus. Competitive play is going to be crazy on the pc.

 

[PeterVenkman]

Oh man. No one told me how much fun the LMG is. I should have tried this sooner.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

This is the only game that makes my hands hurt to play it for a long time. It's so intense.

My new method is using both hands to eject. I let the timer get down to the last second and then jam X with my left hand and bring my right hand over from the mouse to the E button and just mash on it.

Seriously try it, it works.

 

[Woo-Fu]

50 kills with this piece of shit plasma railgun? Guess I'll be gen 3/50 forever.

I played an entire match of LTS and got 1 kill. I'm not playing 49 more.

 

[-PXG-]

I guess I was right. This game is fun, but has no lasting appeal. There is nothing truly gratifying from the experience. It's a really good appetizer. But let's be honest. You can't serve me a shit ton of amuse bouches over and over and try to convince me that it was as satisfying as an entree of equal or greater quality. It lacks content but it lacks identity. It lacks those memorable, heart pounding, clutch moments. It lacks intense audio and visual feedback. It lacks immersion. It's good, but no great. It's solid, but neither evolutionary nor revolutionary. It's just good, but good isn't good enough.

I'll keep playing it here and there. It's not my main game. I still can't find a replacement for Gears. I guess Gears 3 will still have to do until Halo 2 Anniversary or until TF gets some patches and DLC

 

[Deleted member 22576]

PXG, I completely understand everything about where you're coming from.. except the lacking clutch moments/audio/visual feedback part Those are things that describe the opposite of Titanfall. On the lacking identity part, I couldn't agree more.

 

[spootime]

Wingman is legit as fuck...

 

[BruiserBear]

I can't do jack while rodeoing, no one falls for it anymore it feels like. As soon as I get on a titan, the pilots dismount.

Yeah, it seems like you either have to catch a noob off guard, or they don't notice in the heat of battle.

I'm lazy so I love having smoke enabled to get them off me. I honestly get a lot of kills from it.

Besides Titan executions (which are awesome), there are very few instances where I feel I'm doing damage to my opponents. No dramatic death animations, no gibs, no gore. Just someone flopping over. I want to see blood, sparks and other noticeable particle effects. I want to hear flesh tearing, bones being crushed and metal being torn to shreds. Shit flashing on my HUD is the lazy approach. I want in game, artistic elements to serve as indicators not numbers and text. I want to know I'm really hurting someone. I want to know, see and hear that my actions are having a direct and powerful effect on those around me and the world itself. The presentation in this game pretty flat and one note.

It's too easy to die and to get kills. You don't really earn them or really have to work all that hard to get them. Death is trivial, therefore clutch moments, if there are any, aren't rewarding.

Oh my goodness. Ok. Titanfall may not be your game then. Soldier of Fortune?
The biggest appeal of Titanfall for me is that nots about your personal success. The game doesn't reinforce your personal success. The game only values your team contribution.

 

[Principate]

How is it physically possible to not notice? Even in the heat of battle you can't miss it. The reason why you probably think they don't notice is because they're choosing to ignore you because if they dismount titan will be destroyed. So they try to get some use out of it before they die.

 

[Timu]

no gibs, no gore

 

[Deleted member 22576]

I love how if you throw three satchel charges in the same arc they stack up super neatly. These pilots are fucking boss. I wonder what their dart games are like.
98% fatality rate.

 

[eternaLightness]

Destroying the evac ship by landing a titan on it is pretty funny.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

You can *ahem* #dropatitanonit the evac ships?

Obviously there is no way to know, but if things around them are really intense it seems possible to me they may not notice.

Yeah I always do wonder how safe it was to run around walls with jet packs, and how someone would even go about training for a such a thing.

Of course it's logically unsafe as fuck.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

Using an instant atlas burn card at the beginning of an attrition game is border line cheating.

That can put an enemy team SO FAR BEHIND.

This fucking thing, totally broken. I've won 4 matches (all the card I had) with this thing with minimal enemy resistance. Especially if you're on off game voice chat with some one else and you both drop yours together.

 

[eternaLightness]

Yea, I saw someone mention it in this thread and tried it. It felt kinda cheap but I just wanted to try it. XD

 

[The Librarian]

Also, if you like rodeoing Titans, equip Satchel Charges. If your aim is good and you're quick enough, you can get easy Pilot kills when they hop out to try to deal with you.

Prepare for enemy ragequits.

Seems kinda cheap to me. Completely ruins the wonderful dynamic the two pilots have.

 

[Principate]

Obviously there is no way to know, but if things around them are really intense it seems possible to me they may not notice.

Maybe, I've never not noticed, maybe initially when I played the game I only realise a second after they start doing damage but there's no way someone could not notice the audio clue's visual and the fact your armour is being burst down at a not normal rate.

Remands of the time I burst down a stationary pilot in LTS in about 2 seconds and he did not make the remotest motion to motion until long after he was doomed. I can only imagine something happened in real life.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

It makes you wonder what type of shoes they wear and how that belt is harnessed, too. When I see pilots running, the jetpack belt is just casually flopping around like the fanny pack i keep my flask in at concerts.

Yup. It's the best time to use that. To be fair, if the opposing team has their shit together they could gang up on the Titan from several angles and take it down quickly.

 

[tauke]

More and more players are using satchel charges and it's bloody annoying with its wide blast radius.

Seems like they use it as alternative to frag grenades and every hardpoint especially indoor is like a danger zone with the satchel charges.

 

[Kibbles]

Just unlocked the CAR SMG...finally another good gun, and it's badass too, mowing down one by one.

I've been mowing guys with this, the run and gun perk, stim, and the gun attachment that increases hip fire accuracy. Aww yes

 

[Sean]

Yep everyone has caught on in just a few days. It's way too easy to hop out and shoot whoever's on your titan since they're always in the same spot (right side).

Sort of makes the electric smoke useless.

 

[VisceralBowl]

This is one of my favorite tracks in the game. The other being the Demeter-Day charge and a few others.

Disagree. Electric smoke destroys enemy titans. Also people that get out to kill me when I rodeo are satchel charge'd.

 

[Jarmel]

The Titanfall placer is damn near impossible to pinpoint exactly where you want it. I had to do the kills by Titanfall and it's really apparent the damn thing is off.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

Yup. It's the best time to use that. To be fair, if the opposing team has their shit together they could gang up on the Titan from several angles and take it down quickly.

Oh sure but it would take a very coordinated team, and one that was on its guard. Even then since most people move togetherish at the beginning of a game it's super easy to take out 2 or 3 pilots with a single shot. Then while they're all respawning kill every minion.

Also while it's possible for a coordinated team to take out one titan, like I said if you have a buddy also using his burn card in tandem with yours, then the enemy team is proper fucked.

 

[Oublieux]

Is anyone really digging the smart pistol? It's my second go-to loadout after the shotgun. In a 1 versus 1 situation where the opponent has noticed a smart pistol user before lock-on begins occurring, that's usually a loss. But when you play sneaky as fuck? It's a powerhouse. It's best to get the drop on the enemy so I pair it with the unlock that accelerates the lock stages, use arc grenades, and go with radar pulse rather than cloak or stim.

It ends up being a complete riot sometimes. I've absolutely rocked in pilot hunter this way. The loadout is easily one of the most effective in CTF when a pilot is carrying the flag too.

It's fun but you really have to have a solid loadout to support it like you said with mines and radar pulse, I am actually a huge fan of the CAR and the Hemlock with starburst, the smart pistol is fun but I don't really like it because it's only good if you're trying to get the drop on people and that's not usually my play style. I actually really like the smart pistol for defending hard points, flag guarding.

 

[Woo-Fu]

Only time I like smart pistol is attrition, for killing minions. I'll take any other gun except sniper rifle for killing pilots.

 

[CreepingFear]

When ever I use the smart pistol, it seems like the pilot moves just when I get them locked on.

 

[border]

What is the best loadout for Hardpoint Domination games? I think the shotgun and arc mines are good choices, but I'm not really sure where to go from there. I think the WallHack ability is probably the best choice, but maybe people have more success with other stuff. Triple Threat seems like a great weapon for Titans, since you can spam it through a window to clear out an area before you disembark to cap it.

 

[cool_dude]

Guys best Halloween idea ever.*

Guy dressed up in a Titan Costume has a socket in his chest for a baby. Then he just jumps off something next to a baby and puts the baby in his chest socket. Right???



*Must have a baby to do this

Or have a midget friend???

 

[jediyoshi]

The Titanfall placer is damn near impossible to pinpoint exactly where you want it. I had to do the kills by Titanfall and it's really apparent the damn thing is off.

The only difficulty is gauging the cutoff for the distance away that you can call it away from. Otherwise the only rule of thumb you need is whether a titan is able to be in that location at all. The only weirdness on a per level basis I've seen is on boneyard trying to call it in on the sloped areas.

I disagree with basically all of this.

 

[Sean]

Only tried electric smoke very briefly but it didn't seem that strong IMO. Enemy titans would always quickly dash out of the smoke radius and most enemy pilots rodeo-ing your titan will jump off before the smoke kills them.

I've killed at least three dozen people rodeo-ing my titan and have yet to be satchel charged by anyone. Most people seem to use those exclusively for defending the base. I'm sure that will change over time though.

 

[VisceralBowl]

24 more Gooser kills..........

I have been playing for a few hours now....

Depends, you looking to attack or defend?
