Look out Below is one of the worst requirements so far.. only masked by the 100 win requirement in Gen 8.

You can do it on bots. Took me like 5 or 6 games. Don't get what's so hard about it. Equip warpfall transmitter and hunt for some freshly dropped pots.

Don't understand how you found the game to be mediocre after stating positive things about the controls, visuals and the titans... Did you have fun playing it? I'm playing with 7.1 headset and every time a Titan falls from the sky I'm like fuk me this is awesome!!!

What feels mediocre about the game; I am intrigued why you think this (I am not being confrontational).
I think all the elements are done very well. What is your play style? A lot of people who haven't got on with the game have often played it too 'COD like' and haven't utilised the fast-paced movement and environments.

For real. I hope the updates are timely, as of right now I'm still playing, trying to get to 50 and completing the non gooser challenges but I don't want to do anything else. Last thing I need is to get to 50 and get impatient for an update so I waste hours trying to get gooser kills only for them to finally throw out the update that reduces it to 5 after I've gotten 42 or something.
They aren't very hard to get, I already have 3 after a few matches but because they suck so far at giving us heads up on the updates I have no clue if the updates even close to coming or not so I'm stuck playing the waiting game.

Yeah I'll have to give that a shot.
Play so much attrition that minion detector just becomes my default #2 ability.

Got my first Gooser, long before I'll need it (still in gen 1).
It was in Last Titan Standing. I doomed a titan and watched him eject, and cloak. Tracked his barely visible silhouette with my chaingun, and actually killed him.
Very satisfying, but kind of pointless. At least it shows up in my "Ejected Pilots Killed" stats.

I guess those of us that don't like playing on or against teams full of idiots trying to complete challenges are boned then?
A free-for-all mode wouldn't be a substitute for broken team modes, but it would ease the pain a bit. But we don't have that either. Nor do we have a single player.
All we have are team-modes and you introduced challenges that actively discourage teammates from working towards objectives. MINDBLOWN
Can't say that I did, but at the same time I wasn't thinking that the game is boring. After spending the 10 hours there isn't a need to come back to the game. Usually I feel better just launching Planet Side 2 and playing that which feels like a game that accomplishes the same (personally for me) just on a much grander scale. But both games were made with different goals in mind so I can understand others not going along with the comparison. All in all, Titanfall seems to lack lack soul. It just feels like a soulless game while playing it. (if that makes sense) There's nothing memorable about it.
I wasn't a big fan of games with small teams (Have only played Attrition and Hardpoint) so it felt kinda empty for me at times. Don't know why the NPC additions to the game as well. Had a problem identifying them from actual players after starting to play, but that's my problem. I general, the game feels and looks fine. It's just that after playing it I feel nothing. I don't feel satisfaction and at the same time I don't feel dissatisfaction, but at the same time there's absolutely no need to come back and play it again, unlike Planetside 2 which after playing leaves a feeling of something very grand and I want to come back and play it next day (I chose Planetside 2 as a comparison because I feel that Planetside does everything better than Titanfall.
Wow, please, no more, you're way too edgy for me. I can't handle it. You're killing me here.
How is Planetside 2 in anyway comparable to Titanfall?
On the one hand, epic large scale war with tons of vehicles, high player count, classes, huge map, strong reliance on tactics (some assumptions have been made, I've only played a few hours at release).
On the other hand, smaller scale battles (compare to PS2), low player count, really fast gunplay and movement, Titans that change the game to a slower paced FPS when in side, easy to low wolf..
I'm not seeing where the comparison begins.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
A lot of this could be fixed by simply adding in a mercenaries mode with no teams, I think. A lot of these lopsided matches I get into are against parties.
Its ridiculous at this point. I love this game to death but never have I played a MP game that most teams are so lopsided.

I enjoy the game but it does feel kind of like an arcade game. There seems to be less need/room for planning/strategy/teamwork than other games. The maps are quite small and arena-like, there's almost constant action.
Silly question, but is there actually a way to display how many times you've died?
Titanfall displays a K/D ratio, and a Pilot K/D ratio, so it must hold those numbers somewhere, but I can't find where they're displayed.

Do minions count toward scope unlocks?
Do minions count toward scope unlocks?
I'm not the original poster, but for me it is:
Technical: The game is not attractive visually. It isn't locked at 60 FPS (on the Xbone) and it tears like crazy. I could forgive Respawn a little if the framerate was locked and there was no tearing, but as it standings it is an ugly game with performance problems. Compared to anything on the PS4, this game is visually laughable. Hell, even compared to Garden Warfare this game is fugly.
Time to death: Pilots simply die way too fast in this (and it is why I despise CoD). The speed of the movement is great, but being killed almost instantly and not being able to really react to anything is boring. Both defensively, but also offensively. I don't feel accomplished when I shoot at a player for half a second and they die without even being able to tell they were under attack.
It also prevents things like getting stomped on by a Titan from feeling impactful. If someone dies instantly from anything, there is vary little variation in how powerful stuff feels. Getting nuked by an exploding Titan feels the same as being shot three times by a Smart Pistol, and happens in about the same amount of time.
Leveling: I hate leveling in shooters and not having access to weapons and abilities. It just feels like a grind to get to the weapon I want, especially in a game like this where you're not unlocking new variants on a type but the entire category of weapon because there is only one of each type.
The only thing I really enjoy about this is the pilot movement and Titan combat, but mostly because Titan engagements actually feel meaningful because they don't instantly respawn and take time to kill. If this game had Titan only CTF and Hard Point modes on maps designed for 12 Titans, I'd love this game.

Please add me for Friendly Robot Shooty Fun. (Playing on 360.) Name is Epcotman.
Thats exactly why I love it. There is no teamwork, communication of any sort really, and it's the perfect stress killer game after work.
Damn. It's a Bomba...

Before they fixed SLI I was playing it at 900p, lol.

I fucking love this game. That is all.
No, but seriously, I love the feel of the pilots and the titans, love the Sci-Fi setting, think the graphics are completely serviceable, if not mind-blowing, and think it's a breath of fresh air compared to CoD, which is my usual go to FPS.

I agree and I think the game will improve overtime with dlc and patches, great gameI fucking love this game. That is all.

There is no timing agreement, but the 360 version is (expertly) ported from the x1/pc codebase. Unless we delay the x1/pc patches, the 360 patches also have to be ported. Porting takes some time.
We have considered making the "kill x enemies" challenges be Attrition only, since you would then be contributing to victory. I'm curious if people think of that.
It wouldn't help with some of the regen challenges though.
Initially I hate Spitfire LMG but once you get the hang of firing from the hip at close range non stop, it is crazy effective except against a shotgun user. The problem here is the recoil decreases as it firing non stop which took some time for me to adjust to it.
Once you unlock Slammer, you want to start using Cloak to sneak up on enemy titan and rodeo them for non stop IT"S SUPER EFFECTIVE damage if they cannot get rid of you.
Also equip HCOG. I feel it is the only scope for it as the ADS will not cause you massive tunnel vision like Holosight and AOG.
Yeah... no. It's not that simple.
The titanfall coordinates aren't precision based and the bots have a tendency to run just enough to escape the preset coordinates, even in a 2.5s timeframe.
I mean, I'm getting the challenge done, but I have to devote a considerable amount of attention towards completing it.

Just remove the requirements to regen and keep the challenges! You can just reward people who do the challenges with the decals you plan on releasing. It's really noticeable when you play in a smaller data center that people just ignore everything going around them and just play to clear their own regen challenges.
It will be nice if there is an indicator for everyone (or maybe on the same team) that shows what other players have done towards their regen challenges like in CS GO.
Well reason is matchmaking have been kind enough to throw me to a team which most of the players just outright not contributing to the match from the beginning to the end. I believe this players are busy doing the challenges lol.
As mentioned, if I can see someone just achieve Tier 3 of killing anything that move with Autopistol in Hardpoint Domination, I know they couldn't bother attacking or defending a point.
Happens a lot in SEA and East Asia server lol. I didn't play yesterday since I was on a losing streak regardless of Attrition or Hardpoint since others must be busy doing their challenges with their charged rifle crits!

Rodeo + Warp is the key. I've had so many times I jump on a Titan, a pilot hops out, and I drop my Titan on his Titan. This split second of him/her getting out to try and kill me is enough time for me to plop a Titan on his face while his Titan sits still.
I'm out of ideas for the Regen challenges. I'm honestly in the "do away with them" boat. Again, I love the idea behind them, but don't think it has worked out. I personally wouldn't have imagined players would be so selfish. I still love the game, so I don't want to come across as a dick for being so harsh against the Regen challenges. Respawn has made the first FPS in a long time I've sank so much time into.

Get creative and don't require us to use every pilot and titan weapon available. Some of them really suck.

That's fine. And it wasn't an attack on Respawn. I love what you guys have done with this game and it's up with MW1/2 as my favorite shooters ever.
The issue is that BluePoint is horrid with communication. First they say that private matches were a server-side update that wouldn't require any download to get working, which seemed odd. People don't get it and tweet them about it. They then double down and tweet later that it should have been live two days later. Then lo and behold, an update that we have to download comes around and bam. Private matches work.
Here's the kicker though. It didn't have some other pieces to the update that the Xbox One update had. Gooser is still at 50, etc. People tweet asking what's going on and they just don't communicate (at last I checked yesterday).
It's just a complete lack of communication and weird things like that they're getting irritating. Isn't your guys' fault by any stretch of the imagination and I loved BluePoint's work before this, but it almost seems like they're overwhelmed with this.
Frustrating, because while I couldn't care any less about private matches, I will be at Gen 5 very soon and that's just going to kill so much of my time trying to kill ejecting pilots.

No error message? Crash to desktop or just straight freeze? It is crummy, but I'd honestly re-install.
It just freezes. Only doing ctrl+alt+del and opening the task manager will bring up an error message.
Okay now it is just straight up crashing with an error message instead of freezing. Ugh I guess I'll just reinstall it.
Haha, that's crazy.
Really though, that is damn near impossible to replicate in a match. Even if you have a super coordinated team attempting it all they would do is not have their win count.
great, just picked it up!
