Orv posted:Back the dick up, if you hit a pilot with the grapple it's a kill? If you grapple them, you're dragged towards each other and when in range your pilot will auto-melee which is (once in melee) an assured hit. I BELIEVE the grappled pilot can shoot/kill you before melee is achieved but msot people are too shocked to get their poo poo together. Especially fun is grappling a dude from behind, because (so far as I can tell) theres no indicator that you've been grappled and so you look like you're just moonwalking until someone's leg penetrates your rear. e: I am for some reason very good at hitting these despite not trying for them.

keyframe posted:In other news, apparently you can throw a gravity star on a nuclear ejecting titan to suck the pilot back in and have him blow up with the titan. It is my life's goal to capture a clip of this now, I will try today. Holy poo poo! I know now what I must try and fail to do for the next few evenings! I do really wish there was a build for melee only. I would love a tac knife thing that makes me run faster at the expense of having no gun.

God loving drat it, the game decided to erase a ton of my progress in the SP, I was at the the very end of the factory level where you go up top and some AI chick pits you against a million dudes and robbits and now I'm back at the beginning of the factory level. edit: That wasn't as big of a loss as I thought, since I was familiar with the level after getting through it before it didn't take too long to get to where I was!

Daztek posted:Not mine, but you don't even have to hit them Funnily enough, the cable of tthe grapple is actually physics based and interacts with the enviroment. I.e. it'll bend around obstacles and this will affect the momentum applied to the pilot If you watch that clip very slowly you can actually see that the enemy pilot crosses the path of the grapple cable and as a result the player is drawn towards the enemy pilot as opposed to where he originally aimed.

Dice roll made me realize you can only get 1 boost per Titan meter which is a big shame. Dice roll is still fun though and can result in some really strong boosts very early on.

Yeah, I initially misunderstood this as well and was like "Well Hard Cover sucks but you can potentially deploy it 5 times before your Titan drops, that's worth something"... ...then I found out about the 1 boost per drop, and I become convinced that poo poo like Holopilot Nova and Hard Cover are just the booby prizes for Dice Roll.

il serpente cosmico posted:How is the player base in the PC version? Do I need to worry about it dying off soon? EA has said recently that this is a longterm franchise and we probably won't get another until maybe like 3 years from now so it's probably gonna be around for the long haul. I don't get the complaints about Hardpoint Capture. Usually I do most of the capture work while everyone else is convinced it's still deathmatch and that's fine with me. I just collect them and amp them while I can. Bounty Hunt is so much worse than Attrition though---the AI soldiers and robots are neutral as opposed to being bound to each team, meaning you have to do last hits for that poo poo. this is Titanfall not loving DOTA 2.

I think once the hype from all of the new games releasing wears off, the player counts will settle. As it is it's fluctuating a lot but I'd say it's fine right now, you won't have trouble finding a game at any rate.

Given that all the planned DLC map packs and so on are going to be free, I think it's safe to assume that Titanfall 2 will have quite a tail on any platform.

There was one time I was trying to kill another titan when I was in Tone but I couldn't hit them because there was a star nearby that was loving up all my shots

I was thinking how I missed the old rodeo mechanic (what's the point of the LMG now?), but then I realized they had to replace it with something. Everyone ran electric-smoke in Titanfall 1, there was no point in running anything else, especially after the patch that allowed AI titans to use it. So give everyone e-smoke in Titanfall 2, inspired choice right? But that means the old rodeo mechanic has to change cause EVERYONE has the counter now. I'm okay with the battery mechanic now, makes things more frantic and encourages some teamwork. When I grab a battery and I don't have a Titan, I look for my nearest teammate and give them a donation of a fresh battery.  scaterry posted:On the subject of DLCs, i would pay for more gauntlet courses Yes. Also I'd pay for an IMC campaign.

People played Splatoon for a year plus and all they did was add a map every other month or so and that kept people into it. Splatoon had better matchmaking than TF2 but it was also added later there so there's hope for this yet in that regard

MinibarMatchman posted:EA has said recently that this is a longterm franchise and we probably won't get another until maybe like 3 years from now so it's probably gonna be around for the long haul. Just as an aside, last hit doesn't matter as much as doing damage. Well for grunts who die in one hit sure but if your team does 90% of the damage to an AI Titan before someone steals it they only get like 150 bucks of the 600 possible. It's also why if you OHKO an AI with a Titanfall you get a severely reduced payout. The damage matters

What do the different factions do. I hear they are cosmetic but what exactly changes? Is there a point to leveling them all or is it better to stick with one?

Changes the match announcer (i.e. Apex Predators get Blisk, Marauders get Sarah Briggs, etc), gives you advocate gifts and faction unique banners/patches/paintjobs (? on that last one) Generally speaking if you wanna get the most merits possible you should swap around, as the XP per level goes up slowly, like everything else, but theres no real harm to sticking to one.

BTW, I did the Northstar/Tether/Nuclear Eject on a bounty titan and had a fat stack of cash and a new Northstar primed before I hit the ground. Thanks for that, and the Ronin tips (he's a terror on dumbo Legion players who don't check their flanks occasionally)

Yeah, even as a pilot you can get a pretty solid chunk of cash by pinging a bounty titan in the cockpit with any of your guns. Throw a DOT on them to get another stream too. Generally I throw a firestar at them, pop the cockpit several times till the star is out then start rodeoing until the enemy starts closing in, then I drop my titan on it.

Holy poo poo, just got the immensely loving neat gimmick in the campaign. I don't think that I've ever seen time traveling/teleporting done as well as this in an FPS before, it really does feel like the X-Men 2 opening if Nightcrawler had a loving shotgun and a bag full of satchel charges. PLAY THE loving SINGLEPLAYER.
