"Hi Everybody!"
If any other Ausgoons are hunting for a cheap PC copy, Ozgameshop has Titanfall 2 Origin codes for $35AU. They're out of stock at the moment, but if you keep an eye on it they'll probably be back soon enough.

Also this new Origin client is a chuggy piece of poo poo, and I absolutely loathe the loving thing.

Crash site has really grown on me. I don't think it's a good map, probably one of the worst but I usually clean up on it. I don't play that much attrition but it's probably my favorite attrition map by virtue of how many kills it nets me.

Make shooting or killing a Holo pilot cause an emp grenade effect that scrambles the shooter.

Or use the tick AI and have them suicide charge and explode with the scramble effect on the closet enemy(s).

That way even if you ID the fake pilots, you need to react because the stun will give the real player an easy kill.

Or alternatively: it changes your character model to a grunt and spawns a pack of no damage grunts around you so you can blend in and use them as mobile cover. Someone fires on your swarm and the human shields give you enough time to take them out. plus, all the hilarity when people fail to identify you as a player.

I got holopilot from my dice roll on a ctf game yesterday and when I used it holding a flag my holos all had flags.

Also they do tend to move in more or less the manner you're moving when they're deployed; if you're running on flat ground they'll do likewise, if youre wall running they will too, etc.

What a horrible thread to have a post.
I have been screwing around with Holo-Pilot and have found it to be OK on Amped Hard point. Both for attack and defense.

I imagine it would be OK for CTF.

For every other mode it's very limited. You can flush bank campers on Bounty Hunt.... That is about it.

They also disappear the second they stop doing what you were doing, so if you drop one while wallrunning, it will just disappear the moment it reaches the end of the wall (or the ground while jumping, or any obstacle while moving). :thumbsup:

I have definitely had a holopilot come off a wall and continue running but I have also had a holopilot hit a door at a just slightly off angle and instantly dissolve. Or a rock or a twig or a breath of wind sometimes it feels like so yeah they are fragile things.

The encore trailer was a push to increase sales in the face of COD's failure, and I agree to black Friday sale really helped boost users. Personally, I think its great, this game should be played by more people.

If only Origin wasn't such a piece of garbage.

I wonder if it was supposed to have a unique intro, like that one simulation map in TF1, and they couldn't get it ready in time for release?

It has a dropship intro if you're not playing Attrition. :confused:

On every game I've played on crash site, it always starts out as a bit of a meatgrinder. It gets a bit better later on.

Actually you should avoid the cliff and take the alternate route as it has more grunts and you can shoot the other team in the back.

The pistol silencer works great on crash site because you can kill AI without showing up on the map.

I learned that that was the best method. I usually just ambush and kill 2 or 3 guys before they stop trying to sit still and snipe.

You can use them but it's obvious from the trajectory which one is the real pilot.

None of the pilots have a particle effect. Holo pilots don't have nameplates, don't show up for pulse knife, and don't copy weapon camos.

They should definitely copy weapon camo and have nameplates, but I kinda like the idea of them not showing up on pulse knives from a flavor perspective.

Ya that thing is pointless. I hate when I'm running the dice roll and get that thing. Even when I try to use it it just gets me killed. Can't think of one benefit of it

A lot of stuff needs major buffing/reworking otherwise everyone's just gonna keep running the same two-three things

the ONLY use i got out of it was storing two up, also using the phase shift kit, and then jumping infront of a titan group while phasing around crazily

I achieved nothing but it was a funny 15 seconds
