Between 8 and 9 is perfect. Anything below or higher looks weird IMO.

bragging rights and a move to directed enjoyment of the game? haha
it locks you into needing those specific challenges complete before you advance to the next gen.
8.5 is about right.
Good, i don't need super hi res textures, i just want clean IQ and steady FPS.

A lot of my friends complain about the Generation challenges but I don't think I would be having as much fun as I am if the game didn't force me to change my usual loadouts. Right now I'm using the Strider Titan going for the execution challenge and damn is it fun! I'm gliding around the map like a fucking gazelle! Bursting in and out from behind building like some true guerrilla warfare shit.
If it wasn't for the way the Generations are setup I would have never tried the Strider and would have just stuck with the Ogre forever.

I'm holding out hope for a future horde mode against all the creatures where the IMC and Milita have to team up.

I was thinking maybe they were waiting to see what cheats people did and how they went about doing them before cracking down. Gather the intelligence first then act.
Any way to change that?
This game is absolutely amazing. It is so fast paced. I love how in a span of 60-120 seconds you can do the following:
Activate Stim and run like a mad man across the map
Chain two wall runs
Double jump to the next building
Pull out an anti-titan weapon and sneak pot shots while a 1v1 Titan battle is raging down below
Sneak away and get into a fire fight with a human pilot
Activate Stim again and rodeo on an enemy Titan
The enemy pilot exits his Titan. You jump off your Titan accordingly and kill the pilot
Right away that same pilot's auto Titan kills you
Respawn and call your Titan down
The game is tremendously intense. It is so fun to constantly Run Run Run!
What's great is no one ever seems to camp in this game. Because why would you? This is a game about speed, traversal, jet packs, wallrunning, just crazy parkour in general, and Titans! The only time I see someone camping is in Hardpoint Domination or Capture The Flag... and you're supposed to camp in those modes!
I think I played too much this weekend... I moved from Level 5 or so all the way to Level 42. I am going to comfortably hit level 50 before the end of the month and get that special challenge/achievement on XB1.

Quoting for the new page and also to provide links to the server connection problems I am referring to.
This article outlines the details of the above. The ISPs claim Respawn/EA/Microsoft need to take responsibility and the problem lies on their end, but there is no acknowledgement on either side regardless of attempts to highlight the problems via twitter, forums, etc. I have absolutely zero issues playing XBONE titles online, except in the case of Titanfall, which I cannot even boot past the initial menu due to a failure to connect to a server, regardless of which server I select.

Set steam to launch in TCP mode by modifying the shortcut, this might help - https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1040-JWMT-2947

Yup, the most fun I've had with a game online since the original gears.
He did, a lot, and I know because I saw his vids and he had more deaths than kills in most matches, lol.
=( This sucks. I hope this gets resolved. Have you tried getting a refund?

I kind of regret doing the regeneration. The icon next to my name wasn't really worth losing all my weapons and upgrades.
loving this game its great, multiplayer is fun and that's really what i was hoping for.
I've gotten minimal BS so that's always a good thing. maps are great, and weapons are good, would like a few more on the crazy tech scale ( district 9 style) but its a fair standard selection. modes are good - typical stuff, just would of liked some playfulness with playlists like in the Halo series.
competition is there, but i think FUN is the selling point, just add modes that are just good fun, like a Juggernaut titan, perhaps a Free-For-All, maybe a Oddball variant would work really well chasing the guy around the map.
but having a good time overall and welcome incoming updates.

Yeah I think it comes down to whether or not the team they have in house already has the requisite talent to pull off a truly great SP campaign or if they'd have to bring in new talent and what would the total expenditure in man hours be to make it an amazing story and SP experience. Done right it would properly flesh out the universe they want to create, provide a deeper emotional connection and context, and give much greater purpose to the players actions way beyond the very simplistic level of "the next kill" we are at right now. I agree the narrative is very bare bones as it is, but I do think the basic setup gives it a lot of potential. This is one game in which for me at least the grand visual design of the maps sparks my imagination and has me wishing a greater story would be told. If its just a "COD in space" thing though, then yeah I'd say bag it...I'd rather my imagination continues to think of something greater as the context rather than be presented with something thats a retread of past efforts. The one reason I have faith they *could* do it right is Respawn are mostly the same people who did MW1's SP campaign, right? Which I think most agree is to this day the best of the bunch.

Lol Gen 5? Damn, I havent hit Gen 1 yet....
Will this weekend. Agree the sniper rifle sucks...its too slow to bring up the scope and most maps are small enough that a carbine with the HCOG can make accurate hits from 80% of locations/distances in most firefights.i didn't have nearly as much trouble as i thought i would with it tbh.
i just used the 4.5 scope and played attrition from the high ground.
killed a minion every time i saw one to contribute.
HITMARKERS FOR DAYS though.
i would have preferred the kraber.

Time to teach them about fake disembarks. Stop, crouch, wait, then dodge away.
Regardless it's a handicap, anything other than AOG scope and I just can't kill anyone. I feel like I did when playing CoD. I just don't understand the idea of staying in one place sniping, surely after the first kill cam your place is compromised. If you get in lose range with anyone can barely no scope.
This is why I love this game. First, we surprised them by exiting our Titan when they were rodeo'd on and killing them. Then, they caught on to that strategy and jumped off our Titan's shoulder, killing us. Now we fake crouch when someone is rodeo'd on, they jump off, and we dash away to safety. Pretty soon, they'll be anticipating the fake crouch and staying on.

Respawn has started kicking players they find cheating/hacking with more to follow

I called the retailer I purchased it from and they're more than happy to refund. I'm just torn between waiting it out and seeing what is done or going in for the refund while I can. I can always buy it later when it *is* working. I was just looking forward to this game so much. It's part and parcel of the reason why I bought the Xbone in the first place. If it doesn't even work, it's kind of a slap to the face.
Yes, it was.

One of my favorite loadouts:
Primary: Smart pistol with enhanced targeting
Secondary: Auto pistol
Tactical Ability: Active radar pulse
Ordnance: Arc grenades
Tier 1 Kit: Run n' gun
Tier 2 Kit: Warpfall transmitter
This let's me get on the drop on opponents easily... and being able to shoot while sprinting is a great boon for finishing off the opponent if I can't obtain all the lock stages of the smart pistol.

Troll loadout? Everything here is designed to harsh someone's buzz. Wallhacking, autoaiming, vision-destroying troll loadout with the ability to drop Titans on other people's Titans just thrown in there for kicks. I salute you.

Naw man. Viable loadout. I've racked 20+ pilot kills and a few Titan kills in several matches. Granted, that's not an extremely common occurrence. I like this loadout because it switches up my play style. I equally use a carbine or shotgun loadout, but this particular setup requires me to nab the opponent while they're unaware of me. I consider it more of a stealth/defensive build. It's game over 95% of the time if I get caught.
Of course it was. How else will other people know the size of your penis?

Same thing they said with the Call of Duty games.
They stayed hacked.
Let's see if they surprise me with Titanfall, but not gonna count on it.

The Age (one of Australia's biggest newspapers) has posted an interesting article in response to the Titanfall server issues here in Australia, arguing the 'drawbacks of online-only gaming are shown by Titanfall failure'. What are the chances that Respawn/EA/Microsoft respond now and take a more pro-active approach to fixing these problems? Whether they're responsible or not, I'd love to see them reach out to the Australian ISPs and work to a solution.

Whether or not you use the smart pistol?
He sounds really frustrated.
That DSP review makes no sense. Okay, you hate the Campaign, but to say it makes the game worse? Only 4 modes, what?
You get ONE point per AI kill and they punish people staying in one place... it's not 6v6 because of the AI, and the AI being easy is the point of it, they are supposed to be HUMAN like and the pilots are the elite soldiers. Ugh. Oh my god.

I have exactly no clue what's going on. I don't know how the radar works (I keep getting killed when there's no one around me on radar then someone is suddenly right on me and I die). I don't know where I'm getting hit from half the time. I don't know who my teammates are half the time unless they get super close to me, and even then they're name pops up in blue seemingly super late sometimes. I have no idea how much damage Titan weapons do, but they seem incredibly useless. There seems to be some sort of robot looking thing that it wants me to kill or hack in order to gain achievements but I don't know what those things are or how to find them or how to hack them. I don't get the whole thing where you try to leave on a ship after you lost the battle and how that helps you in any way or what that does.
I don't know why the game didn't even attempt to explain to me what's going on but I don't know what's going on.
