any ausgoons can comment on the player population?

Titanfall 1 was loving amazing on Xbox One because of those local Azure Servers and I wanna know how the population is on PS4 or PC before jumping in.

No, they're just focusing on rebalancing the game and then releasing the DLC later... presumably after some serious retooling to make it worth getting.

Hot drat, THAT is how you make a single-player FPS campaign. You could make an entire game out of the time-travel gimmick. I liked how when you killed someone in the past their corpse showed up in the present all bloated and rotten.

Yup. Can't get into TF2 MP. Even the Battlefield 1 servers are down. EA hasn't really said anything about what's going on, but I would have to guess its a DDoS.

yeah, Quantum Break was giant mixed bag of meh and some ok ideas ruined by tie in bullshit and not enough gameplay. also apperently a dishonored 2 mission has a simlar time travel thing that titanfall 2 had.

had my first top scoring game in Bounty Hunt. The game's tempo still takes some adjusting too, or maybe it's playing Overwatch rotted my brain, either way as I get used to things I wonder what the practicality of some of these abilities are, like the stationary pilot shield.

A stationary shield in a game with low TTK and a high emphasis on mobility, and flanking and attacking from different directions, is questionable to say the least.

I... I don't think I can play bounty hunt anymore. Not because it is a bad game type. But because the very nature of it makes me rage more than pretty much everything I played.

Granted, I was never the most chill player. But with Bounty Hunt, seeing my bonus plummet after getting shot in the back as I am about to deposit it, then to respawn far enough away that getting killed again or running out of time is a possibility...unlocks ugly things in me. Let's just say I am glad I don't use a mic.

tl;dr Enjoy your Bounty Hunting, I will be here playing Attrition.

It's useful in some very specific situation, like eating some Titan attacks to lay in with your anti-Titan weapon free of retaliation, or if you want free cover while depositing in bounty hunt or amping/capping in hardpoint. Personally the first thing I used credits on was the wildcard boost because it's a very fun modifier on the game; about 1/3rd to your Titan you get some fun variant on your strategy to use

Aside from the aforementioned ability of the shield to protect you from titans while you shoot them, it is also very useful in hardpoint and in corridor areas.

Does that pilot shield not boost damage going through it?

That's what the tooltip made it sound like.

Yes, but people die so quickly anyway so who cares about boosted damage?

Does anyone have a complete understanding of how the Amped Weapons boost works? How much extra damage does it provide exactly? Does it wear off if you don't use it fast enough? Does it only last one clip? One kill? I've tried googling, but no one seems to have hard numbers.

It's pretty difficult to tell how much of a damage difference it makes because the time to kill is so short.

As far as I can tell that sniper class shield also makes you totally invincible to incoming fire as good luck hitting that tiny base on the crest of a hill :pwn:

You can flank through the ship which is nice, but the other side has low ground, too, which is stupid

And it means whoever has the high ground during Titan Time is going to win that fight too

It's just too imbalanced of a map, whether or not it's possible to win as either side isn't really the point, it's that whoever has the high ground has a huge advantage, straight up

Yeah, it's hit or miss, I don't mind it as much as that really open map though

I kind of miss the titan burn cards from TF1, it was funny starting out with a titan

I was having a good time with the L-Star last night. It's hip fire is super accurate so you basically never need to ADS and it's pretty powerful. Also no need to reload is nice. What was your problem with it?

I will say that one bad aspect of this game is that Vice Admiral Spyglass didn't return. Whos this General Marder gently caress and why isn't Spyglass stomping on his skull.

Needing to lead with it means it's useless against moving pilots or at range (except against static targets), even if it has zero recoil and near-pinpoint hipfire, and the lack of spread and overheat mechanics actually work against it in CQB. It also seems to do pretty low damage given those disadvantages.

It's probably one of those weapons where you can do well with it once you learn how much you need to lead by, but until then, it's at a disadvantage at every range.
