Songbearer posted:Don't get all the hate for the office level, it's easily my favourite one. Lots of variance in room size and cover and there's still lots of ways to parkour onto the enemy come titan phase. Office is great if only because anyone who ejects from a nuke titan eats their own nuke reliably.

Anybody else get this glitch at the beginning of "Trial by Fire?" It persisted even after power cycling my xbone. Warning, campaign spoilers, it's the intro to a pretty late game level. http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/runchild/video/23039683

Wish you could cancel grappling hook by left clicking so you could go immediately into shooting. I know you can middle click but in the heat of the moment it's not the easiest thing to remember

Is there a way to disable the toggle on zooming in (RMB2)? So instead of it toggling you have to press and hold it down to aim?

Those complaints are largely overblown on PC, even "not popular" modes like amped hardpoint have pretty short queus. Bounty Hunt and Attrition have very short queus. Stuff on page 1 generally has short timers, though the stuff on page 2 (Variety, 8v8) tend to suffer longer queus, especially at non peak. That said, PS4 definitely has the higher population, so if thats your main concern go for that, otherwise go for PC.

Variety seems to suffer from the same problem that type of playlist always suffers from in every game it's in, which is that instead of intelligently treating the Variety players as potential players for every game mode and matching them with e.g. Attrition players one round, Hardpoint the next, etc., it seems to just treat Variety as an entirely separate game mode and only match its players with themselves.

They actually re-adjusted the playlists so normal Variety Pack's on the first page (now called Mix Tape), and man was it fun to actually play some modes on the NA regions I never could before (at least not without waiting long periods of time). I mean I still hope they plan to just re-adjust the Variety Pack modes so they're not playlists at all, but as a quick fix I think you can play most modes on a mostly regular basis on PC excluding Skirmish and FFA now.

My friends and I played a round last night against a very coordinated team that was strictly running map hack. We spent a solid two to three minutes permanently map hacked, which was enough to get a 5 titans to 0 situation going. It was snowball-y and really painful.

This is a very good game but the matchmaking seems...iffy. I've gone against trios with pubbies, on a 5v5 that's a huge chunk of the enemy team coordinating. It basically means they win. Most games have a couple of guys dominating and then 2 - 3 trash players on the team who are fodder. And it's not consistent. I play a game and I dominate, then next game it's completely different players that are very competitive and I get absolutely wrecked. I'm also getting games where I get completely murdered but play the objective, so I'm the team MVP despite getting my butthole turned inside-out the entire match. 90% of the matches are absolute blowouts for either side. Hope this improves.

I really didn't care about the first game (didn't have an Xbox/PC that could run it), but after all the glowing reviews for 2, I picked it up and holy poo poo, it's so good. I got Battlefield at the same time and I can't stop thinking of TF instead. I'm really bummed that sales don't seem to be great though. It's a shame it's getting dropped between BF and CoD.

I've played about 10 hours of Attrition solo and have only had a couple of games that were stacked stomps, most of my games end 500 to 400 or thereabouts. YMMV based on platform and region, though, obviously.

That the competent people should not be matched with the scrubs. I mean I understand if it's late night and the pop count is low or it's your first couple hours and the system doesn't know your skill and so rotates you through a couple of different brackets. But I shouldn't see continuous blowouts with fodder players after a certain point...hoping that comes sooner rather than later. Edit: Btw I like Homestead, the big open map. It's a change of pace and you can lurk around the two lanes on the side and snipe grunts and stuff if you haven't got your Titan. Crash Site is horrible and Complex is...complicated. I feel like it's got a lot of shortcuts and pilot mobility that I just haven't discovered.

Is there anyway to stop the game from replaying your death via kill-cam? It's annoying I have to hit space just to spawn in and skip it all the time.

I think if it only applied to you or if the duration was super short it would be in line with the other boosts and most people would probably just use something else.

Speaking of boosts, what exactly is phase rewind good for? It just slowly rewinds you back five meters from where you activated it and I could not figure out a single case where it would be useful.

Right, but then you're at least taking up both your kit and boost slot. Current map hack + cloak or phase shift is kind of loltastic

What if map hack was just the equivalent of a pulse blade but attached to the player that triggered it? Still powerful but not an actual map hack.

According to Twitter they're going to do something about it. https://twitter.com/jonshiring/status/793264785085255680 Between Tone's ability, Pulse Blade, and Map Hack there is just too much wallhacking going on.

^^^ I think Pulse Blade is fine. It has a decent cooldown and tells the enemy team exactly where it is. How often did they do balance patches for Titanfall 1? Should we expect one sometime soon? Though this game is a hell of a lot more balanced than other shooters, especially on release.

Rewind to steal a battery, then teleport back on the titan to drop a grenade? I dunno if it works, using the random boost and the situation only came up once but I got blown up too quick. The giant target on your back for stealing a battery is garbage, you already get a big green glowing thingy. Do you have to actually hit E to rodeo?
