Speaking of the campaign, it'd be cool if they made a Titan that used the Brute's rocket launcher or the Burst core. Feels weird to not have them represented in multiplayer. I mean obviously the homing rockets are too strong for multiplayer but their primary weapons and cores aren't overpowered really.

Yeah all the original Titan weapons are in the campaign, fully remodeled/reskinned. Would be nice to see a Chaingun or Quad Rocket titan in MP.

Does the campaign teach much that's useful for multiplayer or shall I just jump right in

Thinking about it, the Campaign really only teaches you the basics but doesn't let you play with a lot of the things you get to do in MP (Grapple, Pilot Phase) and gives you things to mess with that aren't even in the MP. It's really weird, also, BT is the Megaman of Titans and gives you a chance to use their loadouts but doesn't (at least I don't think) give you their HP and number of dashes which really changes how you should play the Titans.

How does regeneration work this time around? I notice there seems to be regeneration for EVERYTHING but an earlier poster noted that Titan regeneration didn't reset anything? Is it the same for guns?

Is pilot regeneration the only thing that resets everything? Do they at least still provide an exp boost on regen?

God...there's too much drat stuff to unlock in this game, I don't think I could be bothered to regen.

I also haven't quite figured out how pilot levels work this time around. Its not point based anymore? I get "merits"? So do I have it right in that I level up my pilot by levelling up different guns, Titans and anti-titan weapons?

EDIT:

Weird complaint, but I miss the game being IMC vs. Militia. Both factions had distinct visual looks for pilots and titans. Its a weird thematic choice to make pilots more "free-agents" working for a variety of factions this time around. I suppose it sort of makes sense since The Frontier is cut off from Earth, so it would follow that the 2 factions would splinter without support from home.

Also, I wish there was an IMC campaign this time around too, I just want more single player. It was so good.

Everything's not pilot levels and gains level will auto-regenerate and won't lose anything from it. I think it might just be a way to ensure there's a carrot on the stick even when you hit the max of Gen 11 on your pilot.

As for pilot regenerations themselves, everything you didn't buy with credits will be re-locked, but they will still retain their levels, so a level 11 Volt will still be level 11 when you unlock it again.

When you Regen you reset to level 1 unlocks (it doesn't reset the levels on all the equipment of course) but you will have access to anything you ever purchased with credits.

Lol the double exp boost bug is making the score weird out, had a few games of attrition go 496 to 460 (max score is 400) because I and presumably others used the double exp things

Yeah, you level up guns and Titans by doing well/playing with them, and each of those level-ups gives you a merit, which levels your pilot up. The more you level up guns/titans the longer it takes, so you'll level your pilot up quicker if you switch things up a lot

Wait, so would I have to unlock the Pilot classes again? Am I just better off buying the one I want now and not have to worry about starting off without it again? Because gently caress me I want the phase ability but I'm not even 26 yet so I don't want to regen and lose it if I really like it.

Also, EA did the "Collector's Edition, no game" thing with Titanfall so if you already bought the game you can just pick up the physical poo poo if you want it. Still no release date so, welp.

Its really great if you can get good at titan crushing. Also good for me because I use titans as an escape so when I'm in trouble I call my titan and get in ASAP. Works best with the phase shift perk to get into a titan quickly.

They have been careful about saying what KIND of DLC will be free. They always explicitly say that maps and game types will be free, and they've said on a live stream that weapons will be free. However, they've said they have plans to monetize after release and they like to avoid the subject of whether or not skins and Titans will free. I think it's safe to say that DLC Titans will be a thing.

Badly-balanced DLC titans will probably kill the game, but I'd happily pay money for well-designed new titans that are actually balanced against the rest of them.

Also, I'd pay :10bux: to get my Ogre with 40mm, shield core, turbo and cluster rocket back. :colbert:

It's faster-paced than CoD with reasonably big maps so it depends what you dislike about CoD and like about CS/OW.

I used it exclusively in the beta and for my first few hours at launch. I switched to the dome shield because I kept running into the problem of it dropping in further away than expected. I'm also finding that players are more aggressive now. I'd rather have a moment of invincibility while I get in and decide to fight or flight before taking damage.

And obviously if you die while standing by, you can at least make a move to get back to your titan before it gets killed.

The shield is also good for blocking shots while it's up, so you can use your titan as cover from enemies.

I had a go but the pictures didn't really accurately show what it's like when you're wearing it. With the visor light off you can see pretty well, with a sort of T-shaped field of view (your eyes are either side of that central bit so it doesn't block your view), but with the visor on you can't see poo poo, it's very bright.

While the titans question has been dodged (or at least very misunderstood when it was brought up at the best buy stream and they mentioned the Prime cosmetic variants of the vanilla titans instead of whether they plan to make actual new titans post-release), they've been upfront about wanting to sell cosmetic DLC:

I've been asking for this since the first game. Honestly it's a shame there's no support for custom maps. It's a source engine game so all the tools are there and familiar to map makers. Respawn are really missing out on an opportunity to both engage the community and significantly increase the map pool. I'd really love to see what people come up with.

The level set entirely indoors and that canyon one with no intro (crash site? Its called crash site, it should start with our dropship crashing!) are so lame. Definitely the worst levels.

Can't wait to have Angel City back so we can have some TF1 style levels again. I'd love to see Swampland (tree jumping :3:) and the training-sim level make a return at some point

It is an incredibly responsive and snappy game. Extremely tight controls and handling. That's kind of the flagship of the series.

It does not handle anything like a Source engine game, i.e. it handles well, instead of feeling like you have sacks of bricks strapped to your character's every limb and they're also underwater.
