Well TBH the Quad rockets in the first game were garbage, and the XO16 Chaingun is just a lovely version of Legions minigun, so I don't know how that would work.

Actually that's my bounty hunt experience and why I can't get into the mode even though you guys rave about it. People just camp the upload points and it's very boring

I'd like it better if AI kept spawning like Attrition but then there'd be areas/AI titans which give bonus points like in Bounty Hunt. Pretty much combine the two modes

There's nothing stopping them from making the quad rocket launcher good, or making the chaingun interesting. The arc cannon's also missing and isn't in the game at all, so they could just give the chaingun an EMP effect or something.

Haha yeah obviously with more titans I'd like them to balance them some. I got a better feel for other titans last night but so many of them not named Tone are still very situational.

camping the upload points is a known quantity, if you have low cash you should be one of the first ones in there patrolling, or trying to gently caress up the bank on the other side of the map where the enemy team is likely to go for an easy deposit. try using anti pilot ordnance like arc/grav/reg grenades and tossing them in there before you go in, or following a teammate in

also the point is that an asleep/new/bad teammate will likely be giving the enemy team farming them like 2-6$ at a time, instead of a consistent 5 points in attrition

Not to gloat but I can stay on top of the scoreboard easier in BH than Attrition and I do all those tricks already its just Bounty Hunt encourages camping more which I find boring since I love running around like a mad man and flying in the air. I've been trying to force myself to like BH but it's just not clicking for me :shrug:

Though I agree with what the other guy said that some maps on Attrition need even more AI spawns

Why did Tone even need tracker rounds? They are projectiles but it's hardly a Kraber or even Plasma Railgun. It's accurate, the projectile speed is high, the drop is non existent, they do AOE damage and the hitbox is the size of a bus. You can hipfire jump jetting Pilots without even the tracking assist.

Is there a aim assist associated with the 40mm? I'm pretty sure the "tracker" refers to the lock-on system for the missiles, not to any auto aim for the 40mm.

Yeah the 40mm shells definitely have a mild homing effect. I've seen them bend horizontally.

IIRC a dev said that was just an odd visual effect, they shouldn't have any sort of auto-aiming capability on their own.

Let's not bring back the Arc Cannon and say we did. :v:

(As much as I loved using it in the first game, it would need some kind of substantial nerf if it was to be in the second game. In fact making a EMP chaingun would be one such way.)

edit 2:

I just watched a teammate in CTF, while holding the enemy flag, basically walk circles around our flag without actually touching it.

And then got into their titan, making it so I had to pick the flag they dropped and actually capture it.

Is Capture The Flag really that hard of a mode to understand?

Never played the first one though, did its player base stick around for a while? It would be a real shame if this game gets overlooked all because of a lovely release schedule.

The big thing that killed the player base of the first game was how the DLC maps were handled. They segmented the player base into haves and have-nots. It was doubly worse in that the DLC maps were initially segmented into their own individual playlists, so if you did buy the season pass later and wanted to play the first map pack, whoops no one is playing it anymore!

Eventually, they fixed this by giving everyone the DLC for free and integrating it into the master playlists but it was waaaaay too late.

Titanfall 2 shouldn't have this problem, as all the maps will be free for everyone. I'll be curious to see how many maps we get.

it seems like they really were going for not making GBS threads on players in general. I also noticed that if you are MVP on a losing team the game pretty much gives you pep talks about what a badass you are the whole time. The main game modes don't even show K/D. I think developers are quietly trying to weed out stuff that makes gamers act toxic through positive reinforcement or something.

I really want to use Ronin but I feel like there needs to be more damage avoidance or something. It's not like the other titans can't decimate up close and they all have brutal melee attacks that push titans away. With Ronin you might take something down but you're pretty much always going to get wrecked and just trade titan kills.

I had sword core active on ronin in a game earlier and a tone beat me because all he did was walk backwards and spam M1. In the time it took for me to swing my sword he'd already moved out of range and there's jack poo poo you can do about it. Isn't sword block supposed to reflect projectiles too? I'm sure it's supposed to.

If I can get my Ronin beside or behind a legion or Tone I can usually take them down before they get me. The double electric slash thing really helps a lot with stopping them from just boosting away. Once you get into the DANGER ZONE though you get to play the dangerous game of sword shielding and staying out of punch range until your titan is doomed and then boosting/phase dashing at a group of enemies and mashing nuclear eject.

You phase shifted inside of a larger titan or a piece of geometry, which kills you. If you phase shift into a smaller titan or a person then i believe it kills them.

It works with the human phase shift as well. If you phase shift into an enemy pilot or AI it'll kill them, but if you phase shift into something bigger than you it'll kill you.

Oh they did because as a pilot you can kill enemies with your phase shift. But I guess that'd be too OP for titans to do and they couldn't code a way for it not to let them drop out of phase shift mid-titan.

I forgot to post about how loving useless Northstar's Flight Core is. Holy BALLS is it bad. It takes loving forever to start, you hover up there forever, and for how long you spend in the air and how many missiles you send down it does like half of Tone's core ability. It's loving useless.
