Lil sisters are camping out in the living room for at least the next week or so, which means no Titanfall in the evening. Might be on periodically tomorrow though.

I'm about to play as well. Got delayed earlier. I got you on my list?

Subete no aware
Maybe I should try a high ping server to see if that fixes the problem. lol
My worst loading time was 5 minutes before getting into a map. That kind of killed the game for me sadly.
Yup you should give it a try. Preferably try US West or Japan as so far I've no issue with it.
So my impression with Update 4 is the loading time is BLOODY FAST! Good job Respawn as when the match countdown over, it only takes around 5-10 secs to load the map.
Previously it averages 30 secs for me and I can still read the loading screen text. Now just as it appears, I'm in the game already.
Also somehow I got the Gooser challenge insignia even though I only score 8 goosers before the challenge got reduced to 5.
Burn Card hotkey after you died is a much great addition. Other than that, I don't see much different in normal gameplay even with the weapon balancing. Well the satchels radius nerf has encourage other players in using arc/frag grenade lol.
Still got no chance to play Marked for Death since not enough players to start a match...
I wish there are players on PC for Marked for Death.
Can't get a match due to lack of players interested in it.Care to share your own impression of Marked for Death later?

Sorry to hear that man. It's crazy that the PC market has deteriorated like it has.
As for MFD, it's just plain fun really and it builds more on teamwork. Both in hunting for the mark as well as protecting your own mark. Mark's are completely random so if you're running about alone chances are you're going to have to fend for yourself alone. You only get like 5 seconds to prep for being the mark. I think the only time where things become one-sided is if a team has titans. When teams get their titans its bad to go lone wolf since the same rules apply for defense. It can become a titan camp fest. The mode plays fast especially when you're hunting for the mark. All in all, I think this is now my favorite mode.

Marked for Death was the easiest mode to get people for whenever I played it. Probably because it's at the top of the list.
But it also damn near requires a party, so I didn't play more than 3 or so matches.
Satchels still seem really strong to me. They're still powerful as all hell and it's hard to beat their utility for when you need to make someone in front of you disappear immediately.
Also, I like a lot of the little touches the patch added. Noise indicator when you kill someone(makes running over others in Titans especially noticeable) and the little icons noting which group of players escaped on the dropship on the scoreboard.

So maybe the new R97 isn't fantastic. Actually aside from that comical fail it's been pretty good, but I'm thinking it probably shines more on PC than Xbox. After playing for a few hours I think Carbine is still king on Xbox One.
As for matchmaking, and games where it's 6v3 for the whole thing... sorry players, you have only yourselves to blame. I see you connecting to a game that's off to a 50-100 start and immediately disconnecting. Because boo hoo god forbid you play at a disadvantage for one round. Respect to the players who fight it out, but if there were enough of us in the first place, matchmaking wouldn't be that problematic.
I will say this about the matchmaking, mixing up the teams between rounds is great. Sometimes you get that one guy who single-handedly loses a match for you, but now it actually happens that he can get thrown on the other team and I can proceed to shit all over him. That was much needed, and much appreciated.
Anyway, sometimes it pays to get a ride to the evac zone from your opponent:

LOL. That dude looked like he looked at you, shrugged, and went about his business the entire time you were emptying that R97 clip into him.

Is the Respawn Insignia rare at all or? I happened to have had it when I started playing tonight, or at least close to it
I unlocked it in my very first game post patch. Maybe I was lucky, but I suppose it will spread quite fast (I did my part, getting killed a lot in the following games...
)Yeah, doubt it's rare then.
Simple thing (at least seemingly, anyways) that the Respawn guys reading this thread need to add: let us know how many titans remain in Last Titan Standing after you die! It makes watching the remainder of the match kind of pointless when there's no good way to know who's winning. (If I'm stupid and there is a way to do this, please tell me.)

But pilot hunter is the third most fun gametype after hardpoint domination and capture the flag!

Ahem, the number of little guys appearing above and below the score counters represent the number of Titans on the field.
*edit : for example here :
there are 5 Militia Titans left, and 6 IMC.

Really ? I haven't played LTS much, but I thought you could keep track of it the same way even when you're dead... Never mind then.
Hate being on a team in Attriction and no one else gets more than 50 points. How is that even possible. Someone didn't even have a kill?!
Edit: There really needs to be a more in depth training mode where people can be tested on their wall running abilities mainly without getting blown up every ten seconds in a multiplayer match. The main thing I take away from shit team mates is they just run about on the floor doing fuck all most of the game and probably have no idea why they are so bad, it's all about wall running, getting about the map quickly, getting right into the combat in seconds and using it to get away from trouble.
Also it needs to be a big highlighted point on the Attriction loading screen that killing grunts helps the game, tons of shit team mates with low kills, low grunt kills and tons of deaths. Even with one Titan call in you can kill a ton of grunts before being taken out, all you have to do is walk over them, it's not rocket science!

Just press the back button. Tells you who is still in a Titan.

Sometimes being marked for death while already in a gun fight is annoying but at least this game warns you 5 or so seconds before the target above your head appears, gives you time to plan something out.
The idea of rotating game modes is a good idea, it stops having multiple hoppers which are spread thin with players and gives us something fresh every update, hopefully these rotating game modes keep things original (the titan capture mode sounds like a lot of fun if it allows anyone to get into a special built titan)

He, I saw a guy get executed in his titan two seconds after being marked. We thought we were just shooting at some random guy and "oh shit he's the mark, finish him !".

-marked for death is a great gametype
-the new menu art is fantastic, and there's one less connecting/loading screen now which is very welcome
-game runs better on the X1 (less screen tearing/smooth frame rate)
Good update. Now of I could just finish up this unlock everything achievement I could regen!

I find Marked for Death is a great test to see how well a player memorize a map. Well I cheated several time by trying to go nearly off map and running around the perimeter while my team mates try their best to eliminate the other team marked player.
Also this game mode lead to an increase amount of players who uses the nuclear ejection and auto eject so they can't be terminated when in a titan.
Forgot to mentioned that once players are marked, they are visible on the map and on screen HUD which add to the tension of trying to kill or be killed.

Amped hamlock is ridiculous. Probably the most powerful gun in the game

And the figure of a person next to a Titan means that they are likely the ass hat that throws the match while chasing after some challenge.
It's a viable strategy, but I haven't observed a lot of success from it outside of incredibly coordinated teams.
Diablohead
Member
Shame the normal hamlok sucks monkey balls still, i'm using it as my main to see if it improves but I hate landing several shots at distance only to be sprayed back with the 'gimped' carbine and losing
ArkkAngel007

Not sure if it has been mentioned already, but some of the Amped weapons have seen some changes outside of the accounting of the changes to their base versions. CAR has a holosight now for example.

Much as I love marked for death I keep getting thrown on the team where no one attempts to kill the marker, keep losing
Also one thing I never understood is why do high challenges earn so much exp when by the time you get to them you are capped at 50, and after you regen all the challenges reset anyway... so what's the point of wasted exp in challenges?

I guess the quicker level up is to help unlock all the required weapons/skills to help the player focus on the challenges? Still silly when you reached level 50 like in Gen 7 and still have a lot of challenges that is yet to be cleared.
I still yet to regen to Gen 8 as I don't want to get gimped out during MFD match. Also yeah sucks on players who don't hunt the marked enemy in MFD.

That is cool.
I got to play with a fellow Gaffer 2 days ago. All I can say is I feel bad for them... They played like it was the game of Bowling and their score was almost a perfect set. And I played like it was the game of golf and shot the best damn tiger woods game ever.
To ProGamer720... I swear to God I will get better.

First time encounter a stacked team of Gen 10 (5 of them is in a party).
Epic loss that I need not post my result lol.
The fact that you even played the game makes you an honorable opponent. Did you at least learn anything or was it a terrible roflcopter stomp?
Applesauce
Boom! Bitch-slapped!

I'm surprised those guys stayed around, they usually start dropping like flies when you go up against a high level team in the lobby.
The only thing that bond all of us in that battle is... "GG" just before the match countdown reach 0 lol.
It is a terrible roflcopter stomp. Managed to score 1 vs 10...

The fact that you guys got one, and you never played with these team members before and I doubt you were a very cohesive team means you did well.

G2A4 feels a lot better to use now, can actually kill at medium range rather well, minimal spread.

I would really like to see the point spread on this ass whippin'
I usually bitch about one-sided teams but there's nothing you can really do if lower level guys are in there and staying when a party of 5 fucking 10 gens gets in there.

This match ended in a draw.
