So hold on, you have to complete the challenges AND reach level 50 again to regen? Because I've already finished the challenges needed for me to reach Gen 3 but it seems as if I need to reach level 50 again. I don't mind doing it, but man it would save so much time if you could just regen the moment you complete the challenges. Ah well, 18 levels to go. Time to start farming noobs.

Just finished reading "The Final Hours of Titanfall". It was a really good read. It has a lot of information on the whole Zampala & West lawsuit against Activision, which I found really interesting. Also, it contains some cool behind the scenes videos and pictures of the game when it was running on the Ratchet & Clank engine. There is a good chunk too of the offline single player that was scrapped and retooled for multiplayer.
If you liked the Final Hours of Portal & Tomb Raider, I highly recommend this one.

I've thought the same thing numerous times about a Titan-less mode. Either way, or for God's sake, make it harder to get a Titan! When someone gets a Titan, it should be an "oh shit!" moment. But they're so damn quick and easy to get that it takes away that feeling of awe.
Also, can we get rid of front melee kicks being instant kill? Or at minimum, if I shoot while someone is kicking it should interrupt the kick. This is the single most annoying aspect of this game is constantly receiving kicks to the face from people I'm gunning down.

I agree. This is really apparent with silencers. I can upload half a clip on a pilot only to have him/her shrug off the bullets and kick me in the face.

lol, that charlie murphy type kick is a beast tho!
It seems to be very low. Kind of regret not getting it for my xbone now.
On a different note, gen 3 might be where I stop... I really don't like the plasma railgun.
Edit: The plasma railgun is a piece of garbage. Will stop gen'ing now until they make it not completely awful.

Perhaps players have abandoned hardpoint because of the obsession with making it musical chairs on Smarties and Coke.
I have yet to decide on buying the season pass due to the concern with player numbers. I suppose team death match will always be the go-to game type.
I really only ever bothered with hard point but I don't like where they have taken that mode so I don't play it much now; and no I wasn't a satchel camper!
Got called a cheater for two matches straight after this kill.
Thank you scrubs of the world for bolstering the egos of others.
What does this mean? I am not up with the modern lingo...
The smart pistol isn't exactly a gun to wave around and brag about.
With every major update, there is lesser players for Hardpoint which is my favourite mode.
Guess nerfing the defense point means some players find it not worth the trouble as running around to attack other points might be similar to Attrition... at least Attrition reward the players for killing minions.

He wasn't even complaining about the smart pistol. He said I was "wall hacking"

To be fair, the skill is in keeping yourself in the air while maintaining the lock.
I had 3 opportunities for getting a gooser last night..3..and I had button/aim panic each time. Sigh. I feel like I'm not going to concentrate on getting the gooser until all of the other gen 5 challenges are complete. Advice on the arc cannon? Does it have to be fully charged to one shot a pilot?
I think a full charge is the only way to kill a full health pilot. Better to practice using full charge as once you unlock capacitor, it can only be fire when fully charge but time it right and voila instant death with lots of damage to nearby enemies.
Thanks for the input Tauke. I'm sure everything will settle down some once I get use to using the arc cannon and get some practice going after the goosers. Ready for the weekend to get a little more gaming time in!

Ha! Unitttyyyyyyy! I miss that show :/

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
I got 2 gooser kills on one match last night with the arc cannon. One lucky kill on a cloaked pilot and one that didn't cloak. The arc cannon is a pilot and grunt killing machine, I am just having a hard time killing Titans with it.
Nice Applesauce! I would be stoked if I managed to get 2 goosers period, let alone in one game! Well done. Do you recall how much of a charge you were giving the arc cannon on those?

As someone who has been slacking it on 50 for a while, I concur with the above statement.
Losing my guns, and trying to do challenges sounds too much like homework to me.
Applesauce

Full charge. With capacitor just start charging and try and follow the pilot's trajectory then shoot when you have a full charge.
I've got another 12 titans or so to kill before I can unlock the capacitor. Does it just increase damage/require full charge before being fired? This gen is the first I've used arc cannon long enough to unlock anything for it.
Yea I'm having a hard time killing Titans with it too, gonna try playing last Titan standing till I get the 20 kills.

I've done it twice, not doing it again. I'll play the game naturally and enjoy my favorite loadout until I get bored of them.
While the damage increase indicator is not that high in the Titan weapon loadout, it is crazy high damage especially when dealing with pilots and minions (instant kill). Drawback is you need to fully charge before it can be shot (and the trick here is to slowly charge it and hit the full charge at the right moment to zap your opponents).
The Arc Cannon challenge is best done by stealing the kill. Stay near to your teammates' titan and rush in to destroy the enemy titan as the range is limited. Not nice to others but no choice if you want to score it.

It increases the accuracy and damage a little, not much, but noticeable. It requires a full charge to shoot, but that's the only way it's effective with our without capacitor unless you're targeting a single grunt.

Pretty much. This is how I got through the railgun challenge with ease. It's either this or do all the work while someone else swoops in for the kill while you're charging the gun for the killshot.

Aha, so is the arc cannon one of those where you can rev the trigger to keep the charge going without devoting it to fully charge and auto blast? Have not tried that, but I do always charge it and auto blast at buildings, ground, sky, teammates, etc because there is nothing for me to aim at to kill.
Anyone else get this theme playing in their heads when you are wrecking house in a titan?

This game can be so unfair if you solo queue and you get to meet a party of 5 (!!!) as your opponent. Got wipeout so bad in less than 10 mins in Attrition...
Straight bail out and proceed to pwn n00bs in Campaign...
Yup you slowly rev it up and let it discharge before it charges fully. Repeat as needed until it's time to zap the enemies.

You can, that's the point of it.
Although unless you are playing LTS it is MUCH better without the Capacitor.
Likewise, Instant Shot with the Railgun is useless, and it's why most people never learn to use it properly.

Just bought TitanFall yesterday and started playing it in 3D.
First things first -- this game has the best art direction I've seen since Castlevania. It's incredible! I bought the artbook and I have went throught 2x already.
The tutorial was very fun! I loved how I learned everything from the pilot to the Titan. I think it's an excellent start.
Now for the bad: this game is broken. And I mean terribly flawed. I decided to start playing my first match last night at 2am. When I started the campaign, I sat there and waited for a team to join.. I immediately got 2 players, but it was still searching and searching.. finally the last person got on my team.. then it searched for opposing players. It immediately found 5 level 50 players.. then it started loading the level.. some guys saw the mismatch and bailed on my team, so the loading of the level stopped and the search began again ... In the end, I gave up after 15 minutes of this juggling of searching for players, finding some and other bailing, and waiting for a loading of the level.
I paid $60.00 for this game. I should be able to play it at any time of the day. Right now, I'm restricted to dependency on players "who feels there is a mismatch", loading up the damn level based on getting the correct number of players, etc..
If there is no one that wants to play the game.. give me the option to play alone with bots. They should have thrown that into the game on Day 1.
I'll wait for things to iron out before attempting to play again. I can tell the game will be a classic.. but I want things to be right before I dive in.

I have to agree with you on this one. Though I found it very easy to find players during prime time or during the day. However, this shouldn't be because you're dependent on finishing up the campaign to unlocked the other titans.

Man this game needs a mercs mode BAD.
You need to use NVIDIAS 3D vision. The game looks quite nice in 3D.
Oh okay, you're on the pc. Xbone here. I was like whattttt 3D? I bought a sony 3D tv a couple of months ago, strictly for it being an awesome gaming tv, but man oh man I fell in love with 3D movies. 3D > 2D all day every day if it is done right.
Lol @ some of ya'lls song choices. Reminds me of playing Halo back in the day and hearing some random dude playing the halloween theme in the background so that everytime he got near, you could hear it. Cool concept, especially if it was a really good player. Put the sense of dread into as soon as you heard the theme. It would probably be more fun to play the "milkshake" song though lol. Could you imagine how epic it would be to hear "my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they like, it better than yours" coming thru your tv sets just to get destroyed by someone in a titan!
Thanks for the tip, still trying to figure out the best Titan primary to use.
How many shots does it take to doom a Titan with the capacitor?

PC. I am using Tridef 3D with an Nvidia card. 3D is amazing! The cockpit and all the gadgets all have depth to them. Watching myself eject is hella cool!

Finally had a good game for once! I was camping "B" like a mofo with an amped shotgun and after a while realized, "I need to screenshot while I'm doing well before I die and it goes downhill". I also had 2 titan kills in B. I finally died when I ran out of ammo for my shotgun, which I've never had happen. I didn't even know you could run out of ammo. We lost the game sadly, because no one could capture A or C while I was keeping B controlled. I also took down 2 titans.
My ping was fine, but yeah. We were getting some odd lag. I didn't experience much myself, but my brother was complaining of it being terrible for him.
I just hate getting shot at and not returning fire. I guess I just have to get used to it though.
DOTA is the same genre of game?
I just think it would be awesome to have a no bots option. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth when I play, similar to Brink.
