Not that this has happened to me, but there could be challenge hunting.
Edit: I got that Titanfall OST on my phone, and oh my days is When Two Sides Go To War fucking awesome.
Been thinking of trying those out. Arc Grenades just seem so versatile
Also I have so many of the god tier burn cards but don't wanna use them unless I play with a squad.
So fucking sick of carrying a dead team

Stick to the rooftops and use arc grenades with the explosives pack. 2 arc grenades takes down a full shield. Angel City is a great map for this, which is one of the campaign maps. I got mine in bunches though, and finished before hitting level 50. Charge Rifle is a beast.
Satchels are about the only thing that feel cheap to use and get killed by.

I haven't used the smart pistol, so maybe there is some downside to it I don't see. But, I want to punch the world every time someone kills me with one.

Yeah I already broke down why you failed with it when you posted it last time. It's actually super-fun to use, you just have to keep yourself in constant motion bouncing off of walls, and being a difficult target, never hipfire, if you don't have time for a lock-on it's ADS and hope for the best time.

Get close to the titan. Don't try to do it from half the map away. And abuse auto-titans.

Amp'd charge rifle + rodeo + no splash damage = done sir done.

Just finished deadly apparition challenge for gen 9 (sill 24 MVPs to go though). Got 72 minion kills in the Colony map in attrition, all cloaked. I used the smart pistol with silencer, stim, minion detector, and ghost squad burn cards. And just run around the fence looking for minions. Ended up as MVP in that match as well as my triple threat auto-titans killed 3 pilots and a titan LOL.

You guys want to know what a pack of hungry wolves look like in this game?

There is a bug though. The one time I decided to use it this week, it wouldn't lock on. Well, it would, but the lock would reset every 0.5 seconds.

Maps that aren't too open so the titans have lessened mobility.
Arc grenades are a handy complement.
Kind of regretting buying this now (PC). The servers take time to generate players in modes like attrition and hardpoint, and the team balance is more often than not out of whack.
What's with the shitty server browser stuff? Couldn't they just have made a proper browser like in BF4 (PC)?
Also the number of players seems to be way smaller than I thought ):

I took a week off for Dark Soul 2, when I came back the player count was noticeably smaller. It takes way longer to find games than it did just a couple weeks ago, especially if you try playing during the day.
Last night was the first night I really tried to play and I kept getting extremely uneven teams like in my screenshot above. Maybe it was just a bad night and tonight will be better.

Already time for looking ahead for part two, eh?
It was officially announced yesterday by EA and Respawn that sequels are coming. But after reading The Final Hours piece on the game I can't help but wonder what the next game will look like with sufficient dev time and no drama, so yeah I've been looking forward to TF2 for a few weeks
But right now I want mah mapz.
Get the fuck out.
Did everybody agree not to fire? That's crazy. Oh wait I thought that was the match summary.

Although I am sure a sequel is a little ways away I, too, feel a bit down about this talk of a second game.
With player numbers looking a little sparse at times (even in attrition) I am worried that a game I really like is dying off a little too much.
This is mirroring my stint with Hawken last year. The game was brilliant fun but lacking in content (a lot less maps in Hawken at that time) and had small player numbers.
Big robots are cursed.

Haha, no that was from the beginning of the game. I didn't stick around for the pounding.
No. Works on grunts and specters too. Just run around cloaked and snap necks or jump kick bots.

Use ghost squad burn card with smart pistol, silencer, stim, and minion detector. I got 70+ cloaked kills in one game in the Colony attrition map with that combination. I set out to go after minions around the outside fence as the primary goal and didn't go into the middle at all.

Not a fan of the G2A4's ironsights at all. Having a hard time shooting pilots with it until I unlock a different sight. The rifle is pretty powerful but the ironsights are just bad.

Y'all who run stim weird me out as a dedicated cloak user. I can't imagine losing the times I've run between a group of titans going at it/have been in the corner of a player's field of vision unnoticed, just so I can sprint and regenerate faster. Probably good for minion farming tho.
Not too hot on the Titanfall 2 pseudo-announcement. I really hope Respawn takes their time on it and really makes it content rich next time around. Maybe they can get away with no Singleplayer again but multiplayer needs to be filled to the brim with stuff. I'm really hoping for a similar jump like Modern Warfare to MW2.

I love stim but yeah it's tough to give up that Titan stealth. Cloak makes me forget how vulnerable a pilot can be to a Titan, so if I switch it for stim it's always quite a few idiotic deaths before I adapt and learn my role as a rodent cowering in the dark.

Stim 4 lyfe.
I have a need for speed. Rarely use the other two.
Wall-hack seemed cheap but it is offset/balanced by how it is kinda visually disorienting.
Cloak is for the I wanna stand out in the open and hope that big titan doesn't see me with my Archer.

Titanfall on PC definitely has a lot more Minions than Xbone. Each dropship has 4 minions instead of 3, and there are a lot more drop ships.
I couldn't get used to using the mouse and keyboard, despite thinking I was a lot more used to it. Plugged in my 360 pad and was able to perform well.
I played it at a friend's house so the higher average fps and MUCH less latency made the 40MM feel like it was stupidly broken. I was able to Gooser with it a couple of times. For those of you who said lag makes it easier, oh no it doesn't!
Also, I only played one night, but I think the competition is much easier on PC as well. I was only not MVP once and also only lost once up to LV17. I don't think I can pull that off on Xbone.

It's usually the opposite. I can't really say there are a lot of challenging opponents on PC. Most people play it like it's cod.
edit...
Sigh... This wouldn't be an issue with a server browser. Even with only as few as 200 people playing world wide, there'd always be a server you could immediately join.
Forget about the arc cannon, chaingun is where it's at for goosers. Shouldn't require more than 3 hits, just keep your distance for lower trajectory and less adjustment. Another option is ejecting with the pilot following rodeo and goosing mid-air. Ah, the satisfaction...
I've heard this before from usual kb/m players. Perhaps they went a little far with the aim assist?
It's more likely a reflection of the lower player numbers and struggling match-making. It can be a very binary experience but stick with it and competitive matches can be had.
It's not that. My aim is better wth mouse and kb, but I get confused with how many buttons there are. I claw with pad and I can jump turn and ADS/Shoot at the same time. I just don't have the muscle memory to do that without pad. It got so frustrating I gave up.
