Yeah in the two weeks I've owned the game the general amount of people in MP as shown on the first MP screen hasn't really fallen at all.

Hm? The current sale (-33% off) plus the TITAN20 promo should make a standard edition purchase about $44CAD excluding any relevant tax.

On origin? Can I do this for PS4 or only pc?

Plus I mean attrition is the best game mode anyway

It's mind boggling that it was never meant to be in this game in the first place and I'm glad they listened to everyone complaining and added it

It should be growing but not falling in the face of Call of Doot Doot, Battlefield, and an Overwatch character ACTIVISIONblizzard held back for months specifically to compete with this holiday shooter season is doing pretty good.

That's true, while the population staying static isn't necessarily a great sign it could be a lot worse considering the circumstances.

Tried this game.

finished the campaing and had a few mp games.

My 2 words review: flaggerghasted lollygagging.
My 3 words review: BFOne is better.
My 4 words review would be: Very much like Section8.

The MP gameplay is not varied enough, you are doing the same role all the time.

Maybe.

Another problem I have with the game is how horrible busy are the maps. I had the same problem with Section 8 because the characters move very fast in a very large map, the characters are detailed and bright in a enviroment that is detailed and bright. Is somewhat like playing a "Wheres waldo" in motion. Where Waldo is tryiing to kill you.

I had a lot of fun playing the mechs in the campaing, so much that I see myself playing in some mode against npc mechs or something like that, could be fun.

Xbone. Pretty much everyone rolls with cloak and an assault rifle. I see the stuff you all post of the PC version and dudes are flying around the map. Maps here are like a ghost town until someone gets flushed out of a camping position and makes a mad dash for the next rooftop. Titans start popping out about halfway through the match. There's like two people in the game packing an anti-titan weapon. I was never a cod guy but I'm guessing this is how you play cod.

A lot of it is probably just the focus on the scoreboard at the end. Pulling batteries, sticking batteries into your team, and lasering off half a titan's health doesn't get you anything.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are. You are destiny.


Also, in principle, your opponents should have just as hard a time finding and killing you as you're having finding and killing them. And if that's not the case, the game isn't the problem.

And you're not doing the same role all the time, what the gently caress.

Picking up a battery gets you 33% of your Titan meter. Putting a battery in a Titan gets you another 66%. The game is rewarding you, albeit indirectly.

Exactly, changing role is as simple as changing weapon and then that doesn't lock you in to a set of 'you can only take guns X, B or Q as the Titan-Tickler class' options. That's leaving out all the variation you can get from the different tactical abilities as well.

Use the EPG and suddenly the game becomes Tribes.

Had a pilot refuse to put a battery in last night. He even hopped on and then off right before installing it, faking me out. After the match he messaged me "lol".

Looking at it now, it really is disgusting. The flesh is transparent. From the start, I had no idea if it would even make a clapping sound. So I diligently reproduced everything about human hands, the bones, joints, and muscles, and then made them slap each other pretty hard.
it's super good that Tone's cannon shots are better at killing pilots than Ion's two-charge laser blasts. Also, I got into a CTF match through Mixtape and gently caress that's a fun mode. Literally 0 people queuing for it separately, though.

Just look at the compass. Almost all the time it's going to show the direction where the AI is spawning. It's usually on the side of the map your team isn't on.

Yeah, I can see camping being more effective on console, where the ability to flickshot/maneuver is more limited, which makes it harder to flush people out. PC has a pretty healthy mix of abilities, with stim/cloak/grapple/phase leading awall/holo.

In theory people would realize that stealing a battery and giving it to an ally straight up gets your titan which gets you a way higher score, but actually getting people to play objectives has always been a problem in shooters.

Your role is only as stagnant as you let your loadouts be. Sure you can fast plow to your first regen with just the Hemlock, but there are so many other great guns too. Not wrong about how busy everything is though. My group ribs me for hating Bounty Hunt but you can only do a dope wallslide headshot into Grunt and Spectre before getting killed by a camping player so many times.

Pro tip: kill the camping player with a wall slide headshot first.

You'll come around to Bounty Hunt burto, I just know it. I didn't like it as much at first, but now I quite enjoy it. What time we playing tonight? (Other PS4 goon are welcome as well!)

I finally know how his roommate's dead hamster felt in its final moments.
