Right on. The only things I miss are the abilities to make custom pilots/titans for the first few levels, and of course the better ord. like cluster missiles and smoke. Using the amped weapons burn cards and titan burn cards at the beginning of each regen helps level up rather quickly though.
I just started going for goosers, but man I think that as seldom as the opportunity comes to get one, I'm gonna have button panic and blow it when the gooser presents itself. We'll see.

What is this exactly?
2v2 Last Titan Standing.
Coming as a free update to the game around the time the first DLC hits.

A team that works together can take a titan down seconds after it's out of it's dome shield. Even as a single player I can pop smoke on them entering their titan, turn on damage core and have them dead pretty quick if they don't know what they're doing or caught by surprise.

2v2 as in only 4 players, or 6 teams of 2 similar to Wingman in Gears of War?
Btw, anyone on Xbox One may feel free to add me. GT is ArkkAngel007
2 vs 2 as in 4 players total. I can already see that becoming my favorite game mode.
They felt that 6v6 LTS games sometimes lack real team strategy and focus if you go in as a lone wolf. At least that is what I remember Justin Hendry said.
With this you only need a buddy and can start rolling.

What do you use? I don't think I would go as far as to call it "nerfing" yourself. Again I struggle to think of anything really good that's unlocked late unless you're talking about the attachments that come from killing X amount spectres or grunts or w.e. And even then you're probably only a few hours from unlocking it again if you decide the challenges that regen are too annoying.
IDK, I'm only regen 3 so I can't speak like I've played all the challenges, so far though they haven't changed my playstyle really or hampered my wins. But I'm also the kind of person that in FPSes tries to use each and every gun equally and not whatever I do the best with, so to have a legit reason to encourage that kind of variety is great for me.

I looked at Origin last night and it's been almost a full month since I've played. I know I wanted to get as many hours for how much I paid for it... wonder if that's going to happen now lol.
also seems like some maps may be WAY too big for so few people
It's pretty easy for them to just keep something like Nexus out of rotation.
With Titans no map is too big in this game though. They are highly mobile.
good point...i was thinking just in general but with titans and with certain maps having special "Titan Paths" it probably won't be so bad...
Yeah man, just do it, you level up faster with each Gen, so it won't take you as long to get to max level as it did the first time. You also learn how to use new weapons, I'm currently Gen 2 and doing the Shotgun challenge and I'm loving the gun, it's so OP and easy to use.
This may be wrong, but to me, I feel as if I've suddenly improved ten fold as a player since I Regened. I'm dying much less and killing much more and I've almost always been MVP in each game, I'm way more consistent now. I have no idea what suddenly changed, maybe seeing that emblem next to my name made something click in my head, but Regenerating really made me a better player.
It could just be that I've just been facing shit players though lol, like in that LTS round I was talking about where the opposition were awful and they were Gen 2 players aswell.

I don't play LTS because it's kind of a cluster fuck when playing with randoms. I would play this with a friend, though, as long as they adjusted the playlist to suit the mode. It wouldn't be good for some maps.

Sounds good. I'll have to start finding folks here who have the XBO version, as I don't want to play with randoms in a Wingman mode.
That sounds great, though I need to play with some folks in some regular private matches so I can get used to coordinating with a team. Been only with randoms thus far.

No regrets here. I did miss my favorite layout at first, but as others have mentioned, you level up pretty quickly. I go after challenges now when ever my team is dominating and will probably keep regenerating.

Love the idea. Hopefully some of them are scheduled late night (after 9pm est.) as that's basically the only time I can jump on.
You have to play 18 matches to unlock it so however long that takes. Add the search time and 90 second countdown between matches and I'd say around 4-5 hours to play through both campaigns.
Oh yeah I had it the other way around. You will want the Ogre too though so just play all of the campaign.

This will probably be me too once I get far enough, feel your pain.
No thank you sir. I would play some calladoodie if I wanted that.
When did COD get wall running and good maps again?
Which you can all use to your liking and advantage in all game modes already in the game. There is no need for a Titanless mode.
I wouldn't like to play the Fall without Titans.
IDK man it just a thought, TBH i can't play COD anymore now that i have the Fall.
I stopped playing them after MW in MP which was the high point of the series.
The Titans are the reason why Titanfall is good for me. It completely changes the way the game is played. One moment you are running along walls and shit and then you embark.
The game essentially takes Halo combat elements with health and shields making it more tactical and a skilled player can still win a fight after he gets shot if he is good.
The same is not true for pilot vs pilot. We discussed this to death in this thread already but the TTK is too close to Call of Duty. (something Respawn themselves dubbed Insta-death problematic, check the final hours of titanfall).
If you are getting shot you are already dead.
Player count would have to be upped for a pilot only mode too. With no Titans on the field the battlefields would be too empty with only 6v6.
I mean it could work. I just don't think it would be much fun.
Then again I'm the guy that likes the Titan Wars idea much more where everyone starts in a Titan and the pilot stuff is a second life mechanic which is why I play LTS exclusively now.
I don't see how more options of how to play really hinders your enjoyment. Modes with limited or no Titans could really open up some new game types.
More modes dilutes the playerbase. So yes, that can greatly hinder enjoyment.

This right here. Quite a few of the maps of themselves would be too empty and difficult to create 'hot zones' without the Titans. 8 v 8 would probably be the sweet spot.
However, I'd rather want more objective modes with the current structure before something like that would come along. May be best left in a sequel when more can be brought out of the hardware and a better engine.
Pretty sure multiplayer games these days do trial runs of all new playerlists to test the appeal. Doubt they'd just throw out new modes without the intention to tweak or remove them in the future.
Edit: Respawn have already announced new gamemodes anyway, so regardless of what they release it would be diluting the playerbase? Don't see how this applies just to pilot only modes.
Well the true objective modes are sadly the ones that end up dead the quickest anyways since they really suck without great teamplay and communication.
Which objective stuff are we talking about here? A search and destroy or sabotage game type? Wouldn't really work with the fast paced gameplay.

What if you made the point you were supposed to destroy a titan? That could be fun. One team gets a titan to defend, and the other has to take it down? Dunno.
Titans vs pilot mode would be cool. Like 2-3 titans and the rest are pilots. You could give the titans one life and pilots maybe like 3.
They did say they were gonna run rotating experimental playlists. It would be cool to have a sort of action sack playlist with a variety of interesting modes.
I wonder if they can make a mode you take damage when on the ground floor. Floor is lava mode.

I would like a goofy playlist like Halo always had with all kinds of silly stuff.

bah don't want to regen, just reached 50 on the 360.

Good call. Still annoying though, wish you could just preassign a burn card slot to automatically activate at round start.
Stick with 50 and play. Regen will only make you slosh through battles with basic lloadouts and that shit is zero fun.
Have they "improved" matchmaking again? It takes ages to find a game. And when I'm finally in a game, it starts all over again after the round is over.
I hope they just start balancing teams instead of having teams that stay the same all the time.
Jesus I am so done with this bullshit. I just want to play the game. I don't want to fuck around with the menus and matchmaking.
