Oh cool, my GMG key came in, they just hadn't sent an email about it. Looking forward to playing this; it's rare that goons rave about single player and multiplayer alike.

I can't get this stupid game to connect to multiplayer or launch the app or w/e. It's frustrating. Anyone else having isuses on PC?

Hopped in the campaign a bit before work and it's groovy to be titanfalling again.

Fullscreen seems to be locked at 60hz, lol at no fullscreen borderless option but using that little Windowed Borderless Gaming app works for me to do windowed mode lined up right and running at my screen's 106hz. The film grain is real. At 42% downloaded you can run through the tutorial stuff which is pretty groovy. I actually liked the tutorial! Much quicker and more interactive than the usual "why heeellloooo therrreee....press the double u key on your keyboard in order to move your player character in the forward direction..let's try it now OK, press the double u key...goood! let's move on to the other cardinal directions!"

Lookin' forward to getting in some MP later while everyone else still sucks too.

Someone upthread mentioned that even the robot characters have "male"/"female" options... what's the difference, exactly?

The female robots have a more slender/less bulky frame. No robot boobs :(

Playing through the tutorial while waiting for the download to finish, the movement in this really feels a hell of a lot smoother than Titanfall 1's already insanely good movement.

One tip I've found is to unbind toggle crouch and only use regular crouch. That way you can bunny hop like Frothy does in his videos.

Campaign Spoilers:

Man, I knew there was a really high chance that BT would sacrifice himself for you, I just wish they hadn't gone for it :(

Edit: Ha, at the end of the credits you see your pilot helmet blink with some sort of code, I remember BT sending data of himself to your helmet, so there's hope :shobon:

I'm really starting to dislike the server system. Breaking up the game and sending you out to find a new match means that I have played the same 3 maps over and over instead of enjoying a proper rotation... also gently caress that office facility thing from the campaign map.

Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.

Ronin is amazing but as more people unlock it Scorch will be more viable because he shits on Ronin every time.

Enjoy it while you can.
Tone is my favorite so far, and I've discovered that I do not have the reflex's needed to play this as well as some of the other players. MP is still fun as gently caress though, the amount of poo poo flying around sometimes and the firefights would be a bit more enjoyable if the TTK wasn't so drat short. I'm really loving stoked about BF1 and this releasing. Been a drat good year for games.

Respawn seriously optimized their engine for low end machines. I'm playing it on a laptop 5200u with a geforce 940 and it's very smooth(there's no counter but I guess 30+ fps) on low setting 720p. Still looks excellent too even on low everything. As compared to xcom 2 or dark souls 3 which are unplayable on this machine even with low. Just an FYI for anyone out there on the fence.

Good to hear this. I was looking at Titanfall 2 to be my replacement for BF1 because I'm just really tired of playing Battlefield games on aged mid-range computers.

You are great and our combat rating together has just gone through the roof.

Seriously though, just hop in a titan with lots of dash (ronin or something) and run around the map crushing grunts. Enjoy being on the top!

I mean it helps to kill players but yeah pretty much. In a titan you can run over anything that isn't a reaper and get an instant kill. And focussing reapers nets 5 points each. Attrition is all about minion kills, and it seems bounty hunt is as well. I mean if you can kill pilots and enemy titans it definitely is worth it too but if you want to be a bastard who just tops scoreboards or at least isn't at the bottom that'll do it too.

Wait are Grunts still worthwhile? They seem to worth far less than in TF1..

1 point each, your average drop pod will net you about 5 points. There are a lot of them and if you're in a titan they're even easier to kill. Not as good as TF1 but still very good.

Also to note everything except a reaper is 1 point, spectres, stalkers too. So by comparison grunts are really efficient point wise.

There are, in fact, robotits.

Also, I'm getting some weird stutter on Attrition that isn't present on other game modes, it's annoying. :(

Grappling hook is goo and if you learn to jump and use it right it can really slingshot you but I think it still needs to both deploy and retract faster.

Pretty sad about the smart pistol but such is life. It still owns and makes people real mad.
