Sad that the 40mm is getting tuned down a bit, or just the smaller magazine size. Definitely my favorite titan weapon. I'm glad the damage is the same, just the mag size is smaller.

I'm disappointed that I've done the quad rocket challenges for my gen five and hate the nerf to the 40mm.
Indeed - it's all I use. From a logical stand point, it made all other Titan guns obsolete. The damage is still untouched.

Figures I get the system and game today and they nerf the 40mm...loved it in the beta.
A little OT, but does anyone know how/when Target will send out the free year of Live codes for purchasing the recent online deal?

The Titan machine gun is pretty good.

I like how they explain the rationale behind the changes instead of just listing them.
More informative and more interesting to read.

I especially like how they're letting you know what they're still working on. Good, solid patch notes.
Since patch [link] with private beta matches goes up soon, would anyone want to add fellow Titanfaller on Origin? Europe.

I wish they'd (every fps developer) take K/D stats out of objective games so everyone played the objective. It's a bit frustrating playing games where half your team don't pay attention to flag capturing etc.

Never been killed by someone using the machine gun. The 40 mm destroys it lol.
Not for me. I suffer from reload-itis and I'm not sure I can remember ever reaching the end of this magazine.
Man, the IGN graphics comparison video seems hard for me to believe. I've got like 6 hours into the 360 version and I think it's slightly ugly. Jaggies, some rough textures, etc. I played the game last year on Xbone (which was the PC version at the time) and remember it looking a lot better than this. So I'm left to assume the 360 version had to take an obvious hit, right? But the IGN video makes it hard to tell them apart at times. I guess my memory betrays me?
Either way, the game is fun as hell. I would really like to see them put a proper story mode in the next game though.

So glad about the 40mm patch, it is finally going to help level the field and make other weapons useful. Too many people have been using the 40mm and getting away with having bad accuracy.
Odd to see the Quad ammo increase especially with the above. I already feel it is powerful enough.

Hmmm, it's good for goosen and clearing off roof tops and scoring crits on titans and when you put that extended mag on the gun it just dumps for forever. Try it you'll be surprised.

I was never wasteful when using this gun. Embarrassingly I only recently realized it carried so much ammo.
When I saw the 40mm had suffered a nerf I was worried but seeing the details has allayed my fears as I also suffer from reload-itis.
It's great for AI and Pilots, but just too weak for Titan to Titan battle. 40mm has a strong punch and hurts a lot on crits.

I've run out of ammo for my 40mm during some matches of Pilot Hunter. I was saddened that I could only use my rocket salvo, electric smoke, or Punch to kill pilots.

Good change on the 40mm
Now nerf the 101 carbine to make the other guns useful

Eh...
Having played both, the 360 version is noticeably worse with a lot of weird things that happen probably due to the the streaming implementation. No way is it comparable IMO.

The shotgun is useful. Aim within 3 screen inches of a player, shoot and kill.

Im starting to wonder if they are even real. I find it funny before release respawn said it was looking at bumping the resolution and performance fixes. I figured this was just typical PR bull and it looks to be the case. A month after release and no mention of optimization and a more stable frame rate is kind of disappointing I was expecting a locked 60fps especially with this game running at basically 720p.

My god not even low on pc is that bad if I remember correctly (haven't tried it since the beta).

Playing in a bit. If anyone wants a laugh I'll be broadcasting on twitch - username titanfool as I'm so bad at it 
I still believe it's legit they are probably trying to finish optimization. Even PC users are getting hiccups so it's not a matter of not enough power. It's source based engine but they customized it to their needs so I'm sure as with any code they created unknown bugs issues that they need to fix to increase performance.

Anyone have issues reading the player and AI character name tags while playing the game? The text size is too small for me, and I'm having issues distinguishing players from AI characters. The text size in COD has always been perfect for me. By the way, I have the 360 version.
I was until someone said turning borderless window off would fix it an yet it still crashes constantly on loading screens or when I tab out. Might turn it back on and see what happens.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Nice timing on the Quad Rocket changes, now I should buzz right through those challenges. I thought it was a decent weapon to begin with.

The 360 version isn't always 100% of the time like that though, as far as the titan model goes. I haven't noticed that unloaded model yet, but we're comparing one of the worst possible shots from the 360 here.

All those updates look great.
True. These are definitely more representing. But the fact that things like the previous comparison happen at all is yuck IMO.
Also had a few occasions lately of pilots ejecting out of Titans while I'm rodeoing and all I do is fall through their Titan while they shoot off into the air. Shit is annoying and get's me killed constantly.
Edit: Are Spectres ever going to get a buff as well? There's really no reason to hack them as they take too long to fire at tragets and can never keep up with you. Makes the ice pick perk completely pointless.

Five-hundred and twelve megabytes of RAM, man.
I, for one, am thrilled by the fidelity of this port.

Not to mention you have to prioritize somewhere. The game runs well enough most of the time so they have time to build in more of the modes and do balancing. I imagine that once they feel they have the most important game modes and options available they can optimize.
