That map is called Odyssey son.
Stay in your own servers and stop making people suffer through games against you. Why are you even playing in the US instead of EU?

Smuggler's is my absolute FAVORITE LTS map, there are so many interesting positions for titans to take cover at.
It's also one of the few game types where that little rocky passage on the far side of the map feels useful too!
I should really try other region but the high ping is discouraging me (200ms ++). Doesn't help the ISP in my country is not reliable (got retrying connection several times during some match which I don't think is MS Azure side).
The only time I play with ping above 200ms is Wolfenstein Enemy Territory as a Medic. Any other twitch reflex class and I'll die without knowing what happened lol.
Can you not read?
Yeah, it seems like there's always some guy shooting Archer rockets from across the map from up there.
Can you not answer the question? I'm not reading every post lol
Just got an invite from 5 US friends, going by what you guys say, I should say no thanks, my connection isn't fast enough.
I'm not just going on the US servers because of reasons. I go there because if it's late at night and a buddy from the US invites me to his game I have no choice but to play on the US server.
And as I've said it's not like I gain an advantage by playing with a high ping.
Yeh honestly I can't stand playing at or with people over 100 ping. Shame there's no other way you can play with your friends without pissing some people off.
I've noticed plenty of bullshit jump kicks and getting shot around corners by players with high pings.

Delayed Auto Sprint is amazing. No more holding down a stick!
Does anyone remember the person that calculated weapon data after the beta? He had basic damage and range stats for each of the pilot primaries and was working on the attachment modifiers last time I checked.
I want to see if he's updated it since launch but I can't find the link. I'm pretty sure it's buried in this thread somewhere but I can't seem to find it.
Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Ah, the days when 190ms ping was godlike, and you had every right to mock the shit out of any LPB that you killed multiple times.

Will try that tonight, see how it feels
Guess you're right. Gotta have patience, but that's sometimes hard when surrounded by players who completed level 50. Not gonna give up though
It's not like this doesn't happen with low pings as well.

I'd believe it. They have an audio loop that says they are reporting the location of the pilots they spotted.

Those little fuckers.
I don't think so. I regularly hear our team's grunts yell they have spotted an enemy pilot, but nothing shows up on the map.
Don't go out alone. Always run with a teammate till you get the hang of the core mechanics. Most of us got our asses handed to us but thankfully we get EXP just the same so it's not as bad.
No. Don't suggest pilots to stay together.

I decided that the Gen 3 reqs (rail gun) were hurting my enjoyment of the game more-so than helping.
So I'm basically saying 'fuck it'. I'll keep a rail-gun set-up in my Titan loadouts in case I'm having a great run and figure 'what the heck, let's try it again' but for the most part, I'm pretty content to just use my go-to loadouts and stay at Gen-3 lvl 50 forever.

I decided to do exactly the same. I simply couldn't compete with the score I was achieving on my normal class and felt like I was being a hindrance to my team.
I'm really not looking forward to using the Rail Gun again, if I ever decide to go for the regen challenges again.
I'm already regetting regenning to Gen2. Fuck this unlocking bullshit. I don't get the excuse that it keeps the game fresh by letting you explore different ways to play.
Umm no. It keeps me restricted. I come up with my own different ways to play once I have everything unlocked.
I'm probably gonna stay Gen2 level 50 forever unless they patch in something that makes regenning worthwhile.
Also tried out bumper jumper pilot last night... Dunno if I can get used to it...
Why not?
In games like Halo with higher kill times its good to stick together with at least one other person. In games like CoD or Titanfall you're more likely to give the enemy a double kill that way.

Depends on the mode and the amount of communication between the team members. If a group of dudes that aren't talking to each other are clumped together throughout a match, they're pretty easy to kill. And if you're in Attrition, that's a ton of points the other team just earned.
More experienced players tend to fan out over a map and let each other know which areas the enemies are in, that allows them to flank around and attack from different angles.
Personally speaking, I wouldn't be against hanging around at least one other pilot. Don't be so close that you're like dry humping the back of his leg or anything, just keep him in view, or off your flank.
Ugh, he said a few things that are wrong. Such as the campaign matching you with players who already finished it etc. it is random which team it puts you on when you start.
But I will say, playing with friends the only advantageous are you can talk to each other about stuff, and maybe get rodeors off your back. Maybe. Because you can't fucking tell where your friends are. Don't know why Respawn didn't add an indicator for friends/party members on your minimap or screen.
I'm not sure what you mean by higher kill times But in the context of my original reply, the guy's a complete FPS scrub so you can't really go wrong with 'do what that more experienced guy does' especially since K/D doesn't amount to much of anything. The instant respawn doesn't even flinch at such a thing.
I can agree with that. It definitely depends on the mode he picks but this game is so forgiving to deaths that trial and error might seem like the best bet for anyone new. It's what I did anyway.
You're giving the wrong advice. He wants to get better, saying it's okay to die is not going to get him there. Telling him to be more independant and try to flank Pilots until he gets his Titan is the way to play.
TTK
Time to kill. In COD or Titanfall it is way shorter than in Halo for example because in Halo you have shields.
Alright let's say someone else sees you in Titanfall first. He will kill you 9 out of 10 times unless he can't aim for his life.
In Halo you would get shot and know where the guy is shooting from and if you have more skill you can still outclass that guy and win the fight.
So yeah he is right. With the fast kill time you really shouldn't stick close together as pilots.
This, but I was more referring to if someone sees 2 halo spartans from behind and shoots one, if they both turn around they can toast him. In Titanfall the guy that sees both of you first is going to toast you.
Tell your friend to play CTF or Hardpoint first. Get a feel for it all. Or if he goes into attition tell him to focus on killing the bots.
Don't go for grunts with a weapon with no suppressor, tha would get him killed even more...
This is not the case at all.

Yes it is.
The kill times are longer than COD because of the pilot maneuverability and slightly weaker weapons, but let's not kid ourselves: If you get the drop on somebody, the fight is generally over before it even starts [as a pilot].
Kill times in Titan battles are much closer to Halo.
Well yes. If I see you first with my car smg you are already dead.

No, just pilots.
Titan kill-times are much closer to Halo, so it's quite possible and actually frequent for better players to turn the tide of a Titan battle by using cover and their environment, and using their weapons/abilities more effectively to turn the tide of a battle and win out over an enemy that got the drop on them.
I hope he heeds your advice then, it could be done a multitude of ways and being that you're not penalized for dying, do whatever works.
wut? I don't know the guy. Look at the original reply, he's just asking for help on this thread.
I don't even know why critics bother with the plot.
It sucks, everyone knows it, everyone accepts it. Talk about the game. The CMP and its plot is a footnote, at most. Yet reviews feel like they need to spend excessive amounts of time talking about how much they didn't like it.
I've played 80 hours of the game and 3 of them were doing them Campaign. And even when you're doing the campaign, you're still playing Titanfall. So at worst, it's just something that you can safely ignore.
By 2:30 into Yahtzee's 5 minute video, all he had talked about was Dark Souls II and the plot of Titanfall. Jesus fucking Christ.

I thought it was okay! Not really in-depth but it was the first time have played a multiplayer campaign with other people on the consoles. The important thing is that it's a plot that can be built on and has potential to grow.
Same reason people reduce points on a game like battlefield for having a bad campaign.
It's like who cares.
That is not how I experience it at all. If you move around properly, it doesn't matter if someone sees you first.
