Yep. I use my titan to guard the outside of the point, while I chill out inside. That point becomes pretty safe until someone sneaks up on me.

So the game won't stop crashing on me today on loading screens and lobbies, I have no idea what's started this so I'm just going to repair my install and hope for the best. Had a weird glitch before where the image on screen was locked but everything was still playing and moving in the background as I could still here the sounds. What's going on?!

lol but also get that Amped Smart Pistol outta here.
I couldn't tell you how many times I've had this exact same scenario happen to me. It's gotten to the point where I'm playing less and less now. It's janky enough on it's own (the kick), adding in hit bullet detection problems and bs like this is enough to sour me.
Happens to me so many times that I question the hit detection feature especially for opponents who have worser ping than me. Problem is when I view the killcam, I pump lots of bullets of them but they managed to jumpkicked me.
So far after unlocking the shotgun accuracy upgrade, I've managed to deal this people during close combat which I find perform better than dancing around with them.

Similar. Although I was also ducking out to capture and so on... It'll show clearly that you have all your points in defence. (Does it cap at 2000 actually, thinking about it?)

i'm so much worse on xbox than on pc. it's depressing, really.

Yeah, I've only done that a few times to test its pure ridiculousness
(ridiculosity?)
It certainly does not cap at 2000, though. I got ~2800 in defence in one game last night. I thought this person with 750A/2300D was gonna beat me, but I cleaned up in a serious way right at the end, can't even remember how, and pipped them at the post.

Nope. Big Punch dominates Titans in 2-3 hits.
Also in case it hasn't been posted, use the Chaingun and play Last Titan Standing for ejecting kills. I've gotten tons of messages from Gen 4's and 5's asking me how I did it.

If you're punching dudes in the titans then you might know: how do I do the thing where I rip the pilot out of the titan? Had it happen to me a few times, it looks great and must feel very satisfying.

Just punch them when they are in the doomed state. I believe the three different chassis have different animations. All three rip the pilot out though.

Yeah, big punch is a huge part of my strategy as an Ogre. More times than not I'll find myself using all 5 of my quad rockets, my rocket salve and then dashing towards an enemy and finishing him with a punch. Makes quick work of most players.

Ohhh! That makes sense. I never thought of that; usually run auto-eject now so it hasn't happened to me in a while. Thanks.
So this just happened. Look at the guy in first place on the blue team.
He scored a ton of Titan kills.
Oh - good thing I'm not worried about that yet lol...with that said, the autocharge upgrade shouldn't make it that hard.
I hate you, goose.
Well, regenerating is actually difficult with some of the challenges. Definitely learned new skills while doing it; a lot harder than COD - that's for sure.
Finally after 2 days of losing streak, I'm on a winning streak.... by having a really underlevel opponent team.
Just owned them with no mercy while I feel bad yet so good.
Also after unlocking the shotgun accuracy upgrade, damn it is crazy effective even at mid range. Now I know why I get owned so bad by shotties.
What shotgun accuracy upgrade lol? Doesn't lead wall lower it?
PROGRAM_IX
Member
Lead Wall increases 'accuracy' by increasing the spread, so actually you just hit things in a wider area. I don't know if it actually makes it more accurate in the sense that something you aim at is more likely to be hit, though. I switched to the extended magazine as soon as I unlocked it and haven't looked back.
everything but the suppressor is a red herring to me <3
PROGRAM_IX
Member
The suppressor is beasht as well, but that range hit hurts so much.
I'll probably go back to it tonight and see how it goes.If you're playing on Xbox add me up. I usually have a bunch of people playing at the same time so we don't have to team up with randoms. My GT is in my profile.

I am not having a good time with this game at all. Played through the first campaign. I just think it's too fast for my tastes. I only played CoD on hardcore mode so it was very slow compared to this..

I microwave steaks.
big punch combined with ogre makes mincemeat out of titans. Locking them into a corridor is bad.... FOR THEM.

Really, because the Ogre wacks you with your own arm.

I should try using big punch with an ogre loadout. I put it on a couple of my Atlas'. "DAMAGE CORE ONLINE" translates to: "It's clobberin' time!"

speaking of big punch, is it me or does big punch give you a longer "rushing" motion when doing a titan punch?
I feel like my titan flies forward with big punch on.
Not quite.
Atlas - rips enemy pilot from cockpit and hurls them to their death
Stryder - rips enemy pilot from cockpit and crushes them with it's hands
Ogre - tears off enemy titan's arms and beats the target into pieces

It's like a giant robot version of the sword lunge from Halo 2, yeah. It sucks when you happen to miss a melee with it, because it takes what feels like forever to come out of it.

Got to level 35 on Friday and logged back on Saturday morning to find my rank reset to level 1. I quickly got up to around level 25 before my rank, stats and challenges were reset. Turned on my Xbox to find the message below from Microsoft. I didn't complain to anybody or mention it online anywhere.

At least they're giving something.
Now where's my gift for having to deal with that sign-in issue on the day of TitanFall's release?

Well that's... weird. At least they're giving you something for it.

Yeah I'm pretty happy about it. I was annoyed at first until I started playing again and ranking up super fast. Hadn't heard of this happening to anyone else so I thought I'd post it here.

Joined a game of Attrition where my team was losing 58 - 170. Eesh.

Last night I joined 9 teams in a row that couldn't win a single match. It was demoralizing as hell ;__; especially since I stuck with each team for ~3 or so games

Awesome game is awesome.
I wasn't keen on the AI bots at first but now I quite like them. Pilot movement is great and wrecking shit in your Titan never gets old!

I played a couple games of CTF this morning. On fracture, I was guarding the flag with mines and a sniper/acog setup. I killed the flag carrier, ran and returned the flag, killed a guy trying to stop my team's flag carrier, returned to the top of the building, boarded an enemy titan, got somehow ejected by the other team's pilot and got killed by the enemy while getting shot straight into the air; all within 20 seconds.
Soooooo good.
Soooooo good.

With the current matchmaking system(s) it is basically Game of Stacks. If your team has the biggest stack you're going to win every round. If you don't you're going to lose every round. Whichever team is losing is going to bleed players until it dissolves.
The Ogre execution is so cool. I try to do it all the time if opportunity presents itself.

Going from BF4 straight into this like I did last night when someone asked me to play with them is intense. Glad I decided to play with the controller though, controller hasn't felt this viable/supported in an FPS PC game since Borderlands 2.
