I got this code at Buffalo Wild Wings for some Titanfall 2 nose art and Coliseum Mode but some goon can have it: AXSM-E3AU-Y85H-PT49

Edit: Someone got this

So what's a good counter to people using the single shot sniper (Kraber?). I tried being mobile, boom, one-shot. I tried being sneaky, boom, one-shot at my flickering out-line. Than I finally got the pilot deployed particle wall that can take a surprising amount of punishment from titan primary armament.... but boom, one-shot right through the particle wall :psyduck: Often people using that rifle are useless idiots that are my sole source of pilot executions, but every few matches I run into someone who can pin-point me across the map and just murders me with every shot he takes at me and I can't find a useful counter besides sticking to interiors and avoiding windows, which removes the fun from all the jumping, wall-running and parkour moves.

Be more mobile. The kraber is a projectile weapon so if you are squirly enough then he won't be able to hit you no matter what.

Kraber is hitscan. You are thinking of the Doubletake.

I could swear I've seen the Kraber projectile arc at longer ranges. It doesn't seem to be an instant hit either.

edit: After looking at some videos, the Kraber is most definitely not hitscan.

Kraber isn't hitscan. The only hitscan sniper is DMR. Also from what I can tell the bulletdrop from its trail is just an effect..?

The neon racing stripes make more sense in Titanfall than in any other FPS, really. Shouldn't the pilots look like tactical racecar drivers? Obviously they should.

edit: Also, if you made an rear end-hauling, parkour robot, wouldn't you put racing stripes on it?

Its fun, I'm having a great time jumping off walls and rodeoing titans, but...you can blow up buildings in battlefield...

Also everyone should join the goon networks, i never see anyone in there

E also Tone is the best one i think, my missiles cut through Ronins and scare most Legions enough that they keep going back into cover, allowing me more time to plink away at their armor. I seem to die more in Legions, i fall behind with no sprint and the chaingun is too slow to shoulder. You do knock down like two blocks of health if you manage to get a powershot off in a titans face though.

Oh absolutely and I love that it's like this. My camouflage choice when I'm given one is always to maximise garishness.

Already posted about it a week back, but just want to reiterate, the Alternator's hipfire is some wonderful bullshit. It's like the bullets track the target if you just fire in the general direction.

It may be super broken. I love it but I hear people getting really upset at it and when I use it is generally the only time I ever beat Codeacious on the sco'board.

Currentling rocking devotion again and doing a shotfun build of mastiff, mozambiuqe both wiht tactilkill and stims. Its fun.

Flatline with phase shift is still the tryhardest weapon no question.

Softball is fun, no doubt. For me, the best part is the ever-so-slight delay between sticking them with the 'nade and the inevitable gib. Kinda gives me a Fist of the North Star vibe...:psyboom:

Also, if you run the softball, you may be surprised by just how much damage it does to titans -- especially amped.

I died to a Scorch running nuclear eject last night (as Scorch) because I'd used my boost to close in for a finisher, assuming that nobody would run nuclear eject in the titan that you generally want to be as far from as possible. :rip:

I do this but its only really good on two titans IMO. Ronin and Northstar.

Ronin its good on because you pretty much always need to be in the enemies face so you're almost always in a good position to nuke eject.

Northstar owns because you can tether trap them and then hold them in place when you nuke eject.

I often times call in a titan before I even land.

Hoarding boosts is my new favorite thing. I'll purposefully sacrifice my titan so I can get more boosts.

Then I drop five anti-sentry turrets on the intercept point in the epilogue. :getin:

If you stack boosts with dice roll do you need to remember the order or does it tell you which ones you're about to pop? I know it does when you get the boost, but I've never banked a dice roll boost.

Softball is good fun but I feel like they could increase the splash radius. It's satisfying killing dudes but also really hard at times

Really want to like the satchel but just can't. I hate the overall feel and delay of it. Apparently you can switch to your gun then double tap square to detonate. But yeah, still not my thing

I only find myself using frags really. I get a lot of random frag lob kills. Gravity star is cool but it seemingly only does that cool poo poo and draws in enemies if it's someone against me using it

Can't really get mad considering how few people seemingly run it

I just gotta have two dashes

Ya I think, you can only use the newest ones, can't switch. Then you can use the other

I think it'll pick up in the next few months but who knows. Then again I can't imagine a lot of moms going "boy I need to get my son that titanfall for Xmas."

Wish they'd sell dumb gaudy skins or pink cowboy boots already so I can throw money at them

It just seems like from the like of info/updates about poo poo from them...I'm already losing hope

I wouldn't go so far as to say "dead game" on PC, but with an organized group, you will regularly play against the same people in multiple consecutive games. That would be fine if the teams were balanced, but it usually means that one team gets repeatedly dumpstered and stops playing for the night...reducing the active players even further. I really, really enjoy this game and I'd love to see the player base expand dramatically. I'm just not sure when/how that will happen. Since Respawn has said that they won't do paid DLC, it kinda diminishes their ROI on selling more copies.
