I've decided to bite the bullet and install this game. I have 2 questions:1.what's an optimum beginner build? 2.would it run on my 970? I don't care if it looks amazing,I just wanna know if I can run the game decently.

Save 220 credits for low-profile. Despite what people two pages back said the R-201 and CAR are really really good! Heck the worst weapons imo (R-97 and Cold War) are the very last things you unlock

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 just the default network. Every player gets put in it when they start so they'll have access to a happy hour, even if they don't want to seek out a real group.

Edit: the game runs beautifully on my 970, even at 2560x1440 with most settings on high. Only thing that can hit the framerate is when there's a lot of the dust clouds from droppods on screen.

Alright so you just started titanfall 2, and you're thinking, I'm getting all these creds, what should I get?!

I know, I know, you're eyeing that shotgun, and the smart pistol. WELL WAIT JUST ONE MINUTE MY FRIEND!

First off play video games, have fun and get what you wanna get. Now you want the dirt? Alright follow these steps to ensure you're unlocking quality first and foremost.

Do you like to help teammates and build titans incredibly quick? Get low profile asap, it may just as well be the best perk in the game.

Do you like to blow up titans and lay traps? Get satchels, they unlock late as hell but absolutely can decimate titans and pilots alike (set it up on the bank for a beaucoup bucks surprise).

You want to just be a pro and use the best tactical? Get phase shift, it is hands down the best (I DID NOT SAY MOST FUN!)

You want to run and gun like a dick? Well good news is you get stims super quick (lvl 3) so spend your money on the volt. Best smg in the game, the others are good too but the volt is hands down the best for people who never want to ads.

You want the best AT weapon? Well they all unlock pretty quick but the Thunderbolt is the best one, but they all have they're uses (don't use charge hack, its a gimmick bad pilots use!)

You want the best titan? Its pretty cheap you could pick up tone, they all unlock at low levels though.

You want to farm grunts and do nothing else in your life? Get the EPG and consider buying the smart pistol boost.

Congratulations pilot, you're now sperging your way to the top!

network is like a clan, kind of. You can VOIP (hold right trigger on console) and there's a text chat on PC (Well console too but you have to use a website I think and yeah no one uses it). Anyone can make, join, or freely move around between a network. Each network can designate an hour in the day that is "happy hour," where you get 5 extra merit points if you're in that network and complete a match. It's not much really. Each network also has a 4 char network tag like [GOON] as part of your display name if you're actively in it.

Advocate is just the one everyone automatically joins when they start playing and I don't think you can leave it.

each network has a happy hour, basically one preset hour each day where if you play a match during you get an extra 5 credits. the advocate network defaults to 7pm australian eastern standard time, not sure about anywhere else. the game will let you invite your network to a party, and i believe tries to give you more people from your network on your team anyway before picking randoms when doing matchmaking

it should still give you points towards your titan, and really stop trying to play for scoreboard and just play for fun instead, if youre getting assists youre contributing to your team winning. if youre worried about weapon unlocks im pretty sure assists give you points towards leveling your weapon too

Just feels like the scoreboard is against misc. contributions. Also it pisses me off that I'm clever enough to pretty much kill a titan as a pilot only for it to get killed by someone else at the last second. The scoreboard just doesn't acknowledge as much as other FPS.

stop playing the fuckin' scoreboard my dude, your scoreboard position is only tangential to how much you actually contribute and has no direct impact on anything afaik unless theres some player card logo or something thats locked behind placing on the scoreboard

In TF1? So I can run around with my grunt detector farming dudes without anyone getting the drop on me. Combined with the stealth kit and some ~sweet moves~, I'd regularly get the drop on other pilots.

you should only care about kills because it lets you get your cool robot quicker or, if you are in your robot, your big rear end laser or missles or magic fire fists quicker

I've played a lot of ton, had a lot of fun with it; but then switched to Ion right after seeing a match of 5 enemy Tones all turtling with the shield they get. That poo poo isn't fun.

Maybe tone could stand to get a mobility nerf, give it no dash like Scorch or something.

With Scorch as my most played titan, I really don't like the idea of titans losing dashes. Being forced to use the dash kit isn't fun. Give every titan +1 dash and turn dash kit into +50% dash regen speed like TF1 or something.

I think maybe even just swapping tone and northstar's "defensive" ability might go a long way towards shaking things out. it would require tone to do something other than countersnipe when she comes up against a northstar, for starters :v:

You're the second person to say this recently, but I don't see where on Origin incoming friend requests go. And I didn't seem to get a notification from either of them. I'm pretty sure I'm on the doc, and I don't think I've done anything to make random goons hate me, so I think Origin might be really obtuse and you might have to both add each other. I don't even seem to have a couple of people that I added from my TF1 days anymore, my friend list is 0.

Cool found it, thanks.

On an unrelated note before I go to bed, does anyone with a twitter account or something want to ask respawn if they plan on making the first person titan entering animations, as well as the various executions available for purchase? Because I'd spend money for that.

I wish Northstar had any of the kit I used to run with the railgun in the first game. Particle wall, multi target missiles or damage core would be awesome. Flight core makes zero sense, I really wish it was more like the amped railgun with a quick or even instant charge up.
