Boom! Bitch-slapped!
First time using the R97 SMG (for Gen4) and I must say I really like this gun. Reminds me of the P90 from COD4.

There's way too much waiting in the game. Between the epilogue, load/connect times to lobby, 90s lobby timer (or more if people leave) and the match load time you're probably wasting a good 4-5m. If there's enough players online it's way faster to just leave the match and join a new party.
I would love for them to add a mode that skips all that garbage and goes straight to the next map after a match ends.

feels like it. Sometimes I can't even find a hardpoint match. I doubt it's this bad on the euro/US servers, though. I miss all the Australians futzing about in our region.

Improved?
It's not basing it on just purely levels but other data like the K/D ratio of said players. A player can be a high gen and still have a weak K/D ratio.

I saw Titanfall for the first time today as my brother played, and when we saw the screen tearing our minds were blown.

Yeah Im not one to complain about IQ issues (gameplay/UI is far more important to me on balance)...but as much fun as I've had with this game it sure does look like shit. Regularly hitting single digit frame-rates during big firefights just adds insult to injury.

Wrapped up my Gen 6, which was pretty simple. Gen 7 looks like an absolute cakewalk.

Same here! The loading times were pretty snappy close to launch, but lately it takes noticeably longer to get from menu to menu or lobby to lobby. I've seen a bunch of people notice this change, too. (PC)

This is hands down the most disruptive game out with the constant connecting and reconnecting. Black Ops II used to drive me up the wall with the lobby countdown restart and lobby matchmaking reshuffle if a single person exited the lobby, but 15-60 second connection loading and 90 second (which frequently restart) lobby time are brutal.
So got the titanfall bundle last week but didn't play this too much till this weekend since was busy with Infamous.
And my first impressions were kind of muted but after spending a lot of time with it this weekend and after I've getting much better. This game is awesome. Its definitely the next level after COD don't think I can play that game after this.
What really sucks is you don't really get the good weapons till so much later you are pretty much handicapped at the start which is pretty annoying. Especially in the titan.
Does anyone else not go in their titan that much instead of just running around with it? I found that I was doing that a lot before. But now with the triple threat Im using it al to more. I also wish they'd give you a bigger deck of burn cards. Im always "saving" them for I don't know what but my deck is always full now and i just force my self to waste them

Yeah, load times are weirdly long even after moving the game to my SSD. It seems like the game has to wait for a server connection before it starts loading, and it just takes forever. Like, when the game first launches from the lobby and you're presented with just the map picture, it doesn't seem to be doing anything. The framerate sits at its cap, and there doesn't seem to be any drive activity. Then eventually the map text pops up, and the framerate drops to single-digits as the drive activity light comes on. All said and done, it's taking 45-60 seconds to actually get into the game once the lobby's countdown hits zero.

I said this at first, but going bcd to COD after playing this is still pretty fun. COD is still its own thing. I really like in COD that it is still only pure PVP no creeps. I still enjoy both, and sometimes Titanfall can feel a little adhd and just to fast for me.

Not sure if you're joking, ha. It's pretty much identical to prestiging but this time there's requirements for every prestige level - some easy, some brutal.

Im about to hit Gen 4. The rail gun challenges are a pain in the ass, but not too bad. On the other hand, Ive gotten so I love using satchels. Its fucking hilarious to toss one from up high, watch it land in the middle of 2 or 3 enemies, see them scramble and then KABOOM RAGDOLLS.
~ From what I understand the gooser challenges are the ones that people seem to hate for Gen 5...?This game is super fast. I really feel that ADS really feels out of place in this game.

I think my pilot loadout is good and ready by level 11 or so? I prefer Charge Rifle to the Archer, but pretty minor in the grand scheme of things.
Yes, and it's a nightmare, but being patched soon to be a breeze.Im about to hit Gen 4. The rail gun challenges are a pain in the ass, but not too bad.

This guy had to be sooo pissed. Starting a match off with an Ogre and having this back and forth happen, lol. Wish I started this match with infinite satchels instead, but oh well.
Later in the same game I did the always fun titan drop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kMIxCv8w3c

Well, going by the 300 to 100 score, i dont think it really matched

PC.
Yeah. I've been in touch with Calen here, so hopefully they can track it down, but it looks like an issue that is spreading. Hopefully it's something they can fix easily!
whoa...slow down there.
How did I miss there were required challenges to complete per Gen?
I've missed this completely, although I am only Gen 2.

Any type of grenade will set them off, as will just shooting them. Stop crying about every counter to your favorite playstyle.
Being 'aware of your surroundings' doesn't work so great in a game with a stealth ability targeted at Titans. What do you do in Hardpoint? "Oh noes, i might get rodeo'd if I go in and take/hold that point, I'll camp out here in the open and get destroyed by charge rifles and archers instead."
It's pretty easy to miss. If you check challenges there's a new one added at the bottom that shows what's needed.

Yeah I have long load times too. Abnormally long. I mean, even just loading up the lobby. Very strange.

Me to on PC, glad to here it's being looked into.
wat
The starter assault rifle is like my favorite my weapon.
i meant mainly for theTitans and their unlocks you don't get the good stuff till so much later. for ex the Electric smoke makes dealing with rodeo people so easy and it kind of sucks when everyone has it but you. and the triple threat. maybe its just personal preference.

Frankly, I'm only ever bothered by the tearing when I start playing the game, my brain quickly adjusts and then I don't notice it anymore. The frame rate is certainly not sticking to 60 fps, but I have no big issues with it either. In some 18 hours of play time I noticed just one serious slowdown. Guess I should be thankful I'm so easy to please.
I had an amazingly fast hardpoint match with two good teams last night, everyone sprinting all the time, hardpoints constantly changing hands, kills every few seconds, just utter mayhem. I love the fact that Titanfall is so fast, but that was a bit too much even for me, I felt completely drained afterward.

Yeah, I think they believe it's a hardware issue (he suggested lowering the resolution, reinstalling the game and turning off hyperthreading), but I think I've eliminated those as the cause. Maybe you guys can try that too so they have a larger sample size?
I recorded this a few days ago and you can see the long load times (and my really shit play) in it:
http://www.twitch.tv/firehawk12/b/514761375
I believe I saw some shuffling in the Beta, but I don't know, if it was automaitc.
Does the Retail game not shuffle or rearrange teams at all?
firehawk12
Subete no aware
Not that I've seen. There's also no autobalancing, which is unfortunate when some maps start 6v3.
I really love being Gen 10. Hopefully when I get my KD back up from grinding those Challenges I get matched with better players.
I forgot to post the time it took. 3 days 20 hours in game time is what it took for me. Though Gen 9 was over in a snap because I did 50/55 MVP games I played in that Gen.

K/D does not seem to have anything to do with matchmaking.

It should have something to do with it, but it shouldn't be the main differentiating factor, at least not in all modes. There are modes where other stats appear to be (and should be) far more important. For instance, my K/D has been pretty poor, but I'm usually near the top or at the very top in Hardpoint Domination. Matchmaking should take all those things into consideration.
That said, it could definitely use some further tweaking.
It should have something to do with it. Either that or there are a lot of new players after last weekend. My last ten games KD is around 12.0 but my overall is 2.0 now...
I think I can get All The Hardware this afternoon, thought up a plan to play Attrition until I have all of the Pilot Kills for each weapon then go to LTS and farm minions, should take about 1 LTS game per weapon after which.
For Titan weapons I'll unlock them as they come haha. Quad Rocket is garbage.

Winrate is probably (and should be) more important than KDR in matchmaking.

They said the original matchmaking uses whatever ranking they have in it. The improved matchmaking list just uses it better. It will also split teams up after a match and do other things that disrupt existing lobbies to make a better match for next round.
