You're the team's dedicated scout wallhacker, it's extremely powerful team support, you shouldn't have a good personal boost or tactical on top of that. You're a force multiplier.

Yeah that's what I mean. I think if a coordinated team wants to have someone fill that role, that's very powerful but not necessarily unbalanced.

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?

Nope. Get cloak if you know you are going to be doing a lot of rodeoing/battery stealing.

I'm also almost 100% sure at this point that if someone has low profile it delays showing the warning that a pilot is rodeo'ing you. If I have it on unless it was super obvious I jumped on them (ran straight at them in an open field and suddenly I disappear from their vision ooOoooOOoo spooky), they always pop the smoke too late to actually stop me from taking the battery, although it's a gamble as to whether I can then hop off without dying, and I definitely notice the times when I pop smoke as soon as I see the indicator and it's not fast enough to stop them. It says it only mutes the noise but I'm pretty sure it delays the indicator too.

I think they'll only get the notification when you're already pulling the battery out

Speaking of rodeo, if you can avoid the titan squashing you can you just rodeo the same titan over and over until it dies?

I think my record is 4 rodeos on the same titan before it died. Some people are not very good at defending themselves. My other favorite thing is if they get out to fight you then just call in your titan, theirs will be stuck in the exit animation when it comes down.

66%. But you also get 33% for stealing it in the first place so there's your titan.

Re: Pubstomps and unbalanced matches - it does seem to be a thing. It's really great when you get a good one though. I played a random match earlier, no groups. Hardpoint on Homestead. We were 290-365 down toward the end, and It wasn't looking great, but we managed to triple cap briefly, then contested their single point for a while and ended up sneaking it 400-393. It was a really good match throughout.

More of that would be great.

What a horrible thread to have a post.
Stealing and giving out a battery is a free boost and Titan (100% build time)

So do that.

BTW Smart Pistol is actually a great boost in Bounty Hunt. You can run into part of the map and literally wipe 5 - 10 AI out from under the enemy team. Really wrecks their score.

33%, and according to Good Titanfall 2 Guy, it'll repair 1000 health of damage and give you a 2500 health shield (tiny titans have 7500hp, medium have 10000, large have 12500)

Hey all, a new patch for the PC version of Titanfall 2 is now live. You will need to update for changes to take effect.

See below for changes:

Titanfall 2 PC v2.0.0.7 Patch Notes 11.01.2016

Adaptive resolution scaling (requires TSAA enabled) - This feature allows the game to downscale the rendered image to help maintain a consistent framerate. This will be especially helpful for our users running lower spec video cards, allowing them to maintain 60fps more often, as well as those of you running 4K monitors with more midrange GPUs. Adaptive Resolution uses TSAA's resolve step to output to screen, thus the feature is only enabled when TSAA is enabled.

Word of warning: if you run a resolution or target framerate much higher than your machine will be capable of achieving you will be hindering image quality significantly as the Adaptive Resolution feature will be constantly downscaling your output to maintain performance. All systems will be different, so you should try different settings to see what works best for you and your configuration.

Other fixes in this patch. Thanks to all that have reported bugs and helped us identify these issues!
  • Stability and GPU performance improvements
  • Titan weakspot highlighting respects colorblind settings
  • Reduced stuttering and playback issues with voice chat
  • Improved speed of allocating Private Match dedicated servers
  • Adjusted Recommended settings for lower end GPUs
  • Reduced hitching when changing between no antialiasing and TSAA
  • Increased performance of streaming textures, reducing stalls and hitches
  • Archer and Arc Launcher now go to Aim-Down-Sights when wallhanging (oops!)
  • Better Network chatroom moderation tools
  • Fixed various grapple gameplay issues
  • Fixed Kraber shots going through Bubble Shield
  • Fixed certain combinations of weapon mods and menu selection resulting in no weapon model showing in customization menus
  • Fixed spawning halfway underground after playing third person animations in Kill Replay
  • Fixed tracker lock-on HUD elements not reliably showing up during Kill Replay
  • Fixed Titan executions not triggering reliably
  • Fixed mantling up stairs
  • Fixed incorrect aspect ratio when switching from fullscreen 1920x1080 to windowed 1600x900
  • Fixed some rare hardlocks and crashes
  • Fixed subtitles being stretched in 21:9 ratios
  • Fixed race condition when accepting Origin game invite with application closed
  • Fixed some display issues in Networks lobbies
  • Fixed disappearing grapple rope with TSAA enabled
  • Fixed NVIDIA Surround crash

I was low health in tone with a doomed ronin meleeing me, I tried to execute him two times and nothing happened, on the third I saw an animation start and thought "Oh good, it finally triggered."

It was his execution on me :(

Does the game ever actually explain rodeoing and the Doomed status or are you expected to work those out on your own? Does the game even say "Doomed" anywhere?

While I'm at it, if you're holding a battery and rodeo a different enemy Titan do you still drop a grenade on them as though you'd pulled their battery? Do the battery pull and the grenade drop do the same amount of damage? How much is it?

Does ejection self-destruct actually do any damage to anything without the nuclear upgrade or is it solely for getting you out of dodge or more likely turning you into a clay shooting pigeon?

Did that flashing helmet at the end of the campaign mean anything?

The game does say Doomed in that you get a bonus when you "doom a titan" in the bottom left of your screen and the verbage on nuclear eject references doom. Does it explain it anywhere, not unfortunately not really...

Yes whether you drop a grenade or pull a battery is entirely dependent on if you are currently in possession of a battery or not, there is no other factor. They do the same amount of damage, the exact amount I don't know, I think its about 1/2 of a pip of titan health.

It does seem to do a small amount of damage to things around it.

I know its not really a spoiler but it is the very end of the game so you might wanna spoiler that part of the question but to answer you:

It spells out "Jack?" in binary, hinting that BT is still alive inside his helmet.

Well if we're getting technical He uploads a "part" of himself during that mission so its possible he uploaded the rest during the part Jockstrap is talking about..

Also rewatching the ending of the campaign on youtube, what the gently caress is wrong with people?!

Who would choose the voice line "We got a way out of this one BT?" Instead of "Don't Worry BT. I'm not going anywhere." Who the gently caress wouldn't comfort BT during this time of great tribulation?! Literally 1 out of the 8 videos I watched comforted their Titan Friend :(

It's also a good callback to one of the of the first dialog options when gathering the batteries in the first level. It's naturally the canonical choice.

That doesn't sound too dissimilar from my system and I run the game fine, you should be good to play it.

Plus the latest PC patch added some further optimization and a feature to let the game dynamically change resolutions if you're just outside of getting a consistent enough FPS, so you should have more of a floor to work with.
