RE: Ion Prime's new execution. Using the Laser Core on the enemy pilot is baller as hell, but the lead up to it is weird. The fake out punch and backwards crouching clothesline are confusing and awkward. Maybe it's just the angle the trailer is at.

There are two bombs but you only have time to get to one and disarm one in time. One bomb will kill the designer of the game who is going to nerf tone appropriately. The other bomb will destroy angel city and it will never be released.

Choose wisely.

While we're getting a new map, can I just point out how none of the MP maps have ziplines? But there are several in the campaign, and I remember them from multiple maps from TF1.

Angel City looks fun.

What should i buy with the credits I've saved since everything is eventually unlockable? There's nothing that really has me jonesing for it except the expensive smart pistol boost because I hella enjoyed that escape level you get to use it in.

I'd recommend low profile, Thunderbolt (anti-titan), and maybe MGL (also anti-titan), although you get the MGL pretty quick. Also any late-stage titan you like, since they're pretty cheap. Low profile for sure, though; even if you don't run cloak it makes stealing batteries soooo much easier, and battery steals are awesome for filling up your boost/titan meter

To add to that satchels are Titan destroyers and very late stage unlocks so they are worth it. Phase shift is also the best tactical in the name and with the credits spent. Followed by volt.

In the campaign, your opponent's accuracy drops the faster you are moving.

So you either have to move around at max speed like a cracked out bunny or cover shoot.

I think it's for the co-op Horde mode only, I think they understand what would happen if they opened up a competitive game mode with M&KB vs controllers.

I believe it also works for the co-op campaign but I'm not sure, but the game tells you who's on console and who's on PC and the guys in Horde mode on PC are always getting a lot more kills in Horde than console players. I'll usually end up with double the points just sniping because headshots are just too easy with a keyboard and mouse. I can't imagine the frustration controller users would face if they opened the floodgates for this in the competitive modes.

I'm going to disagree with pretty much everyone here and say cloak is the best tactical.

With taci-kill 2 kills will recharge the ability, and this can be done while cloak is active.

Cloak is the only tactical that passively impedes target acquisition, which makes it the best choice for fighting pilots.

With how fast paced the game is and how used to the red outline people are even though you can still be seen by pilots you will be surprised by how effective cloak is.

Cloak is really really good. It might be second best behind phase shift, but nothing will ever be better than phase shift. Though there can be time when using cloak is the smarter choice.

The problem for me is no tactical is as good at hopping on titans than grapple, and I cannot suffer an enemy titan to live with a battery.

I like cloak, I like stim. But when a titan is running from me and I have no wall to boost off it makes me physically angry.

Cloak is so good. In the recent CTF tourney, cloak is either outright banned or limited to 1 pilot. I'm actually a little surprised RSPN decided to buff it from TF1 , in basically every dimension, and throw in that you flicker and recloak after shooting. I thought it was fine being mostly intended against titans, but pretty easy to spot as a pilot.

What?
One of the best things to do with Scorchy is to chuck a gas trap through a window or door that you think might have someone inside, and set the whole thing on fire. I get a lot of surprise kills that way.

The northstar titan is really loving good against pilots, because it's really fast, and titan melee has some pretty good reach, and it seems like nobody expects the northstar to dash towards them and turn on its jump jets just to punch somebody off of a roof. Similar to above, launching a cluster missile into a popular window will often kill something.

The AT charge laser has a really satisfying Big Laser Noise, but it's kinda mediocre. The secondary grenade launcher seems to hit a lot harder. The Thunderbolt gets dramatically better with its quick reload and quick ADS perks, since you can't shoot it from the hip.

The weapon perk that lets you aim down sights faster is actually super useful on most guns, except SMG's that don't need it.

Bad guys are really good at shooting you after you stay still for a second and they all have a chance to aim. You gotta run around on walls and jump and stuff. I had a lot of fun on master, and there were only two segments that felt like cheap bullshit, one of them was a boss.

Use your cloaking thing a lot, too. And don't un-cloak until you've moved somewhere new. Repositioning really throws the AI off its game, probably by design.

I'll notice a cloak because 95% of the time it's someone sprinting or jumping past me.

The other 5% is some sniper hiding out on a rooftop and going for the first kill of the game.

If you're in a titan then just run.

Isn't that just what it's doing, though? Not that I already knew that before this (game-changing) gif, but I'm certainly gonna try to make it happen in the future.

The best thing would be if you could catch em with the shield and then hit melee for a guaranteed pilot kill.

I can't wait until fps games reliably have PC/Console cross play, and everyone suddenly become outright platform discriminators. As opposed to now when it's all just snide comments on internet forums.

I don't see that happening any time soon. Control scheme segregation (ignoring being able to purchase hardware in order to cheat) is way too easy to do. It would be trivial to enable kb/m on consoles but that has an equal chance of never happening.
