What a horrible thread to have a post.
Complex (the office map) cracks me up because I just can't get my dumb brain around the level. I try to use shortcuts and cut through and I end up staring at the same dead end with the wooden wall (you know the one).

Phase shift is largely defensive rather than offensive, but you can also use it to cross dangerous territory like in that youtube clip I posted last page where i used it to jump across the front of a Legion to get behind him. You can also use it to cross things like firestars/napalm, get out of gravity stars/electric smoke, and if there is a sonar or map hack up and you see a group of enemies you can try to get behind them with it with marginal success.

Here's that clip again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTQf8OmBBhI

And here's one example where I clumsily used it to get behind a few people camping a room.

Another couple key things: You can start cooking a grenade while in phase shift land, but if you throw the grenade while shifted it will not come out of shift land. You also cannot activate some boosts while shifted. It'll play the animation, but it won't stick. (EG: Amped Weapons won't be active when you come out of phase shift if you tried to activate it while shifted.)

Sure, you can use it to escape or cross open areas, but where's the fun in that? I've found it most effective to run behind someone, especially if they don't realize you're there in the first place. In general try to position yourself so you reappear in an area they're not covering.

you have to download the 7-11 app, and buy 2 dew or dorito products (2 dew drinks, or 2 doritos, or 1 dew + 1 dorito) and have them scan the app at checkout, and they email you a code. I've not gotten my email yet though

You have to do it twice. The first time they'll send you the pilot outfit, the second time is BT.

It took about 48 hours to get it.

I actually kinda like crash site because it has a lot of nice side paths for pilots.

The office map can burn in hell, though.

I actually don't mind either map to be quite honest. Crash site is the map I had my 245 attrition score game so it will always hold a place in my heart, and complex is fun when you know your way around it (and use scorch)

Angel City is exactly how i remember, including how finicky it can be to get into the 3 story building in the middle :allears: can't wait for it to go into full rotation

I could probably spend an entire game just in that centre hallway on Complex as a pilot and be happy because you can just wallrun forever and the map funnels people into that hallway

My girlfriend picked up two copies of this for us on cyber Monday. She was literally a robot programmed to play titanfall1, just loving godly at that game right up to its dying breath. She.... Viscerally hates tf2 with an almost frightening passion, apparently the movement is just all wrong or something. I couldn't disagree more, I'm having a loving blast.

The way you maintain your movement is very different from the first game. TF1 had bunny hopping where you kept your momentum if you jumped right as you hit the ground. They took this out for TF2 but replaced it with the slide, so if you crouch in mid air it will buffer a slide and you have time to jump and keep your momentum. It's not very intuitive and it's not explained anywhere, but it's possible she doesn't know about the slide crouch thing and bunny hopped everywhere in TF1 and that's why she hates it.

Bunny hopping is still very possible in TF2.

It's more like slide hopping, and I have a hard time doing it on Xbone, but some people are apparently really good at it.

Not in the same way as TF1. You'll lose momentum if you just jump. If you slide you don't.

The secret to enjoying Crash Site is to realize that it is a map for Titans, so pick Scorch and the Thunderbolt anti-Titan secondary and never not be in your Titan.

I looooove Thunderbolt on Crash Site. When the enemy titans stack up on one end of the long canyon lane, you can just bounce back and forth between the walls sending zap-ball after zap ball in their general direction as you watch the little percentage points under your hud pile up.

If you time a jump correctly you don't need to slide and you can maintain your momentum, though the window is very tiny, making slide hopping easier.

Got a video? I'd like to see how tight the timing is and how consistent it is. I was under the impression it wasn't possible at all anymore.

If it's not the usual being-bad-at-game, I'd go with grinding weapon kills / Titan cores at a guess.

Pretty much why I hate Complex in a nutshell. You get into the only safe places for pilots and there is zero flow or common sense in the paths. It's harder to memorize than any MP map I can think of in any game and is so full of illogical dead end or routes that gently caress you over.

That map should be called "gently caress Pilots gently caress Titans"

Has anyone had any audio issues with Titanfall 2 on PC? Namely a sort of crackling/static-y noise that gets worse when there's a lot of action on the screen? A friend of mine got the game and is experiencing that, and some cursory googling is indicating that it's a problem Respawn is at least vaguely aware of but has so far been unable to fix, afflicting a wide variety of rigs and headsets.

The nooks along the main hallway towards each end. They look like they have doors (even the textures kind of imply it, and maybe there's a railing?), but there's decidedly no door.

I sometimes get audio problems. Realtek ALC898 (driver 6.0.1.7535) in 5.1 surround, 24 bits, 96KHz. Seems to get worse the longer I play. Seems to also start affecting my framerate, as when the audio hitching gets worse, I notice the dynamic resolution start to kick in at times.

Maybe it's an unrelated memory leak somewhere causing secondary effects?

You get the prime Titans if you bought the deluxe edition. Preordering just gets you access to Angel City early.

ALSO, make sure you have the Nitro Scorch downloaded. Mine got uninstalled somehow and I didn't have access to Angel City until I noticed it was missing.
