The new AI bots in Attrition are a lot of fun, and I dig that you can use your fancy third-person execution on Grunts as well as players. Please add bots to the other game modes, especially Hardpoint.

The game is good, much better release than TF1. What's the anticheat situation on PC? I don't want to recommend this to a lot of friends and then have to stop playing because it's become infested with hacks.

:ohdear:
Leveling up your overall level is kinda weird in this game; instead of XP it's based on your merits earned? And leveling up your weapons/titans gives you merits so the best way to level early on is to use every gun and titan available and get the early easy levels done fast? Kind of a neat way to encourage people to try different things I think. Also god drat am I bad at this game, here's a silly video of me trying to be pro as gently caress and it ending predictably:

Still fun as gently caress though; glad they put Attrition back into the game cause lol if I'm ever playing another mode (at least in their current, AI-less state)

They're noticeably more lethal compared to TF1 and I kind of like it. I got lit the gently caress up by a grunt earlier and actually thought I was getting shot by a pilot due to the amount of damage I took.

You and the rest of the community because it took 5 minutes to find a CTF match and I read on here and other places that finding a full game for modes other than Attrition and Bounty Hunter is already hard even though the game just launched.

Also this is the only game where I can multikills over 3 :unsmith:

The Alternator is such a silly weapon and I love it. I like to imagine it was in-universe designed by a spiteful lefty to ensure that no matter what hand you used you'd get hot brass ejected right into your face. :allears:

Yeah I think the effectiveness of the R-201 and CAR overshadow a lot of the other weapons.

Likewise most used Titans will be Ronin and Tone. Leadwall is good all round, sword core is quite scary if you can get close. 40mm tracker is good all round, lock on missiles but out the DPS.

I found you don't even have to ads with the R-201. Its hip-fire is very accurate for an AR. I'm going to enjoy it until its inevitable nerf.

I still haven't dipped into mp, been playing sp and having a blast.

But, is it just me or can you not like... jump at all with a titan? I've had so many moments where I feel I should've been able to just jump over something to get the drop on some mooks but I end up just walking around.

and what kind of world would it be? HUH?!
Just finished the campaign and it was honestly one of the most fun experiences I've had in an FPS in a long time. The titan stuff was great but it really shines in the on foot moments just with all the amazing set pieces where you're flying around like a crazyman. It didn't feel pointless like a Battlefield campaign and it didn't feel stupid and cringey like a CoD campaign.

Northstar's ultimate can fly, but other than that, no.

starting off pretty bad at the game but I've been getting there. some matches I go like 15 to 20 points and others 80 depending on map or loadout. I love the grapple but the sonar knife thing really helps out. I'm hoping they add more AI bot stuff to help scoring for scrubs like myself, as well as maybe a team based horde mode and other fun stuff. the less straight-up deathmatch poo poo there is between just 10 or so layers the better because I want more chaos and cool poo poo happening.

Gotta say though, the TTK for even titans is pretty short but I've become pretty good at taking them out with mag grenades and poo poo. getting out of my robot in Last Titan Standing and assaulting titans from a crack in a wall they cant get to is so loving satisfying.

Huh, I guess they're meant to basically be tanks then.

edit: Origin is really loving testing my patience, I seemingly have to repair my games every so often to get them to start up again otherwise it takes repeatedly clicking the start game button to get the loving things to even open.

This is ever since they changed to this utterly lovely web based UI.

I've already tried reinstalling Origin too.

Pretty much. But they do have boosts! 1 on the medium titans, 2 on the light, and they all have access to a kit that gives them another one, even the heavies. Using boost to effectively move in and out of cover is one of the keys to being effective as a Titan.

Anyone else feel like the Titans are just too easy to kill now? They easily just melt away and I don't feel like the utter bad-rear end piloting them like I used to since I have to play super cautiously. Also the boarding animation for the Titans is so god drat long it seems.

I always enjoy being a battery runner for the team. Just zip around stealing and handing out batteries.

Titan fights are collaborative affairs now. Trying to solo an enemy Titan doesn't seem to be worth it unless your core is up.

Man, between Do4m, Shadow Warrior 2 and this, it looks like shooters have finally rediscovered speed and mobility in TYOOL 2016. Too bad it took them over a decade...

Re. AI: Way more deadly, yeah, I've been killed by grunts and spectres an embarrassing number of times--that is, more than zero--and I've learned to fear the reaper pretty quickly.

Re. Titan health: Only played as Ion so far, and I think Titans might have more life, but of course damage is permanent. I've managed to survive longer than I have in TF1 through careful use of sightlines and cover, and of course if you find a battery you're definitely tougher than ever before.

I think the Sidewinder is intended to be functional but not exceptional against all targets, as it scores good damage vs. Titans and Reapers. It was a pure Anti-titan weapon in the last game so thats a bit of a change.

I don't understand how this type of game would die so fast on the PC and thrive on consoles, how the gently caress can a controller handle this type of movement?

It can't, but it doesn't matter because everyone is going to be moving as clunkily as you so its still a fair playing field.

There are 4 people in my region (NA) other than me queuing for Colliseum right now. What a joke :(

EDIT: Pilot v.s Pilot has <100, and CTF has 54.

If you're on the fence about what platform to buy this on, get it on PS4 if you have any interest in playing it after this month.
