Not sure if the free weekend is putting a lot of strain on things, but multiplayer on PS4 east coast feels way off today. Lots of random lag spikes, and the most annoying part is that the weapon switch button doesn't work about 25% of the time (it makes a "click" noise and then doesn't switch). Stuff like the Ronin teleport is all screwy too; I'll use it in an open area and only move forward by a couple feet.

Gonna set it down for now and try again later.

edit: lol ok, PSN is saying my down/up speeds are about 10% what they normally are, so there's the problem

Keep Tone the same. Just slow movement speed?

Also on Xbox I am having a hell of a time get executions. I constantly am just meleeing instead of stabbing their face.

Also I keep loving up Titan executions. The titan I'm trying to execute has to be in the warning level of energy and then I just go up and melee right?

Meleing a doomed titan will perfom an execution, you have to be really fast/lucky because from what I can tell it looks like the server gives priority to ejecting if there's a dispute.

EDIT: I don't know what happens if you try to execute a doomed titan with a bodyshield though.

I've just trained myself to eject if I'm still taking damage in the danger zone no matter what. It saves me from situations where I'd have died way more often than staying in would have netted me another kill.

Mash the enter/exit button three times in quick succession. Took me a while to figure out as well.

So, how much of a jerk am I for whoring the poo poo out of the sidewinder? I dunno what it is about that thing, but it just deletes people ridiculously quickly with barely any effort. Who needs an actual gun when you can just poo poo out two dozen rockets on a moment's notice?

If you're not in the danger zone, you can also eject any time by pressing up on the dpad, the square three times. This will not trigger your nuke though.

Is there some secret to hitting 144FPS in this? With everything on low/disabled, using an i7-5820k and a 980 Ti I cannot get a stable 144FPS at 1080p. Even using the temporal target thing can't hit it and it ranges between perfectly clear and noticeably blurry.


also I just won an amped hardpoint game where we had 20x the score of the enemy team, who I think were entirely free-weekend players

You could also hop out of Scorch and go murder the dude face to face in order to teach him a lesson for picking on your firebro.

(Scorch owns)

An pilot dropped an ion at site C in Angel city last night, and I stole his battery before he had a chance to build any meter for electric smoke. For whatever reason, the dude hopped out and came after me on foot. I murdered him and his friend, called my own titan (still carrying the battery), and then murdered his auto-titan with my titan and capped the point. Is was one of the more :smug: moments I've had so far.

On another note, I just messed around with the G2 for the first time. That thing seems really good. If the hip fire was just a little bit better, I'd use it full time.

That was only in one campaign mission, but yeah it owned and needs to make a return if they bring Demeter back. Also the Wargames intro where you booted up the VR machine was sweet too.

I had really bad problems with sound distortion, and turning down some settings helped. I think Respawn is aware of the issue.

I just played again without changing the settings and it was fine, really strange. Also, why did they lower the Attrition limit? If anything I was hoping they'd raise it so games were just a bit longer. :smith:

Try setting -high in the shortcut. It jumps the CPU priority up. On my i5-4690k (4,6 oc) and GTX 1070 i usually drop to 120/130 during heavy action. But on some maps like Angel City i can get down into the 80 range. Adaptive resolution does work well but i can't deal with the sudden blurriness tbh.

Respawn is very bad with audio. Reminder that Titanfall 1 had 35 GB of uncompressed audio because Respawn thought that unpacking and decompressing audio would have been too much of a performance impact for their game.

Crash site should open with a "sorry for this lovely map" note from devs and it should then skip to a good map.

I've always thought pistols should be their own thing even in a typical two-weapon FPS. Your thigh's got nothing to do with the big longarms strapped across your back and chest.

Pistol should just be a 3rd weapon that comes out when you're out of ammo on your primary.

It would have been understandable if it didn't install the audio for all supported languages. The game is about 15 gb with just one.

The way it's set up pistols are pretty much useless, but I can see why they did it. I think they are just supposed to serve as backup for snipers or shotgunners.

Honestly the pistols barely have any reason to be in the game which is a shame cause some of them are really fun.

I got tired of Ion's marshmallow gun and I keep getting the yips and flinching away at the last second with her laser shot, so I gave Scorch a try. It's really nice to be able to lay down a beating with your main gun.

I'm really getting the hang of Scorch. You really have to play the angles and hunt around corners, but goddamn can that guy lay out some damage. Not to mention it is really satisfying to get a pilot kill with the thermite launcher. That thing really should have more splash damage, though...I feel like the 40mm has just as much.

The Angel City camp pack is awesome, and a steal at $2.99.
