A wall doesn't bother me and usually is easy to deal with, but Titans should be able to collapse it basically instantly and it's super annoying when people set it up at the edge of buildings to shoot at you. A man sized particle wall should fold immediately to an anime mecha.

Imagined posted:. The only sniper camper I've found in this game I came back after he killed me and broke his loving neck because he was stupid enough to still be in the same spot. I love executing Snipers. All i want is the grand theft semi-auto execution instead of the default neck snap. The In Your Face one is pretty good, too.

I'd love some more Titan modes. I love flying around and doing Pilot stuff but my heart belongs to Last Titan Standing. It reminds of Counterstrike for some reason and CS with big stompy robots? Yes please. In my mind something like the Mechwarrior Solaris matches would be incredible.

Would get pretty hard to find anywhere to wall run pretty quickly though...

i love how much this game reminds me of tribes, i discovered the EPG and ooooh man now i just need to get faster more consistently, although its really fun to stim as a crutch for the time being, stimming to catch up to someone and then breaking their neck is glorious e: ROBOT DRUGS SHAOLIN FUCKFIEND fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Dec 5, 2016 |

credburn posted:I'll give that a shot next time I play. Honestly, above everything else, just the wait alone was the worst part of all. It also makes me less inclined to experiment with things; I'm comfortable with the default loadout, but I don't want to wait five minutes and learn my experimental loadout sucks, you know? If you're coming from a UT04 background, give the EPG a try since it's basically a rocket launcher without the triple shot. I'd suggest taking the Mastiff to recreate the flak cannon experience but it kind of sucks atm.

I think that would gently caress the maps up too much. I meant the pilot ability, A Wall. The particle barrier thing. It should stop small arms but Titan weapons should destroy it immediately. It irritates me greatly.

Still, destructible terrain would be cool, and in the same logic as a mech's 40mm cannon should obliterate a concrete wall.

PS4 friends: how is your matchmaking experience? Even though my win rate is ~50%, I would say half my matches are completely ridiculous stomps (where the losing team has 25% or less of the winner's score) and another third, while not complete stomps, are still very easy victories for the winner. In fact I would say "balanced" games that feel even are around 15% of my total matches. The thing is I can watch my team depart from the starting point in the first 10 seconds of the match and know with 90% accuracy whether we're going to win. For whatever reason this game constantly stacks teams with extremely stiff, slow mobility players and that's real bad. Even if you have pinpoint aim (and you don't on consoles) the slow guys just get flanked and destroyed repeatedly. Honestly I'm to the point where the fun wall-running and my Titan ability (I am pretty decent in a Titan) isn't enough to make up for the fact that I'm getting my butthole turned inside out for at least a third of my matches, and in GG EZ mode another third. This "skill based" matchmaking seems really bad.

Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that this game feels like Tribes in some ways. One of the things I remember about Tribes was that a really, really skilled player could easily carry a whole team, and this game seems to have some of that. Most of the time when I look at the scoreboard after a match it's like: Winning Team: Ubermensch - 600 points Schmuck 1 - 90 points Schmuck 2 - 40 points Schmuck 3 - 30 points Etc One or two amazing players and then a bunch who usually can point the barrel the right way in two tries. The winning team is whichever one draws Superman. Are they going to keep the Angel City 24/7 mode forever? I love the mode and the map but it's a bummer to further divide an already small pool, especially on PC. Having a larger pool of players would presumably help with skill based matchmaking.

When I played this weekend I either seemed to carry the team with triple the points of everyone else or we lost tremendously with no way to win. I did have a few games where my team came back around when titans started dropping.

Drydock is in BH for sure, you can shoot at the opposite deposit from across the gap and steal some bounties. I'm pretty sure Crash Site is as well but I'm having trouble remembering where the deposits are on that map. They definitely don't come up as often as the other maps in the playlist though.

Does anyone else feel like Rodeoing a Titan should be an input? There's so many times when I've been wallrunning and poo poo and a Titan, friendly or otherwise dashes in front of me and kills my momentum because you automatically latch on. Hell, just make it E when you're close enough, that way you could also walljump off a Titan and use them as impromptu walls. That would be cool as gently caress.

Pilots vs Pilots on Angel City is loving amazing. Dunking on idiot tryhards with my shotgun is amazing. Game is amazing. I've stopped using my Volt altogether to regen all the other primaries, and the game went from really fun to ludicrously fun. Don't just use the Volt. Use every gun! pakman posted:I love executing Snipers. All i want is the grand theft semi-auto execution instead of the default neck snap.

I wonder if it's different on other platforms, because I've definitely played lots of games of Crash Site Bounty Hunt. What I really want to see is better matchmaking, honestly. I had a tough weekend and there's MLG tryhards in every single match I play which makes it unfun. You can't goof around with the Sidewinder/Grapple/Hover ham if LegendaryReaper420 is going to shoot you in the head from 80 meters on a drive-by. You have to play serious kits and that sucks.

In Battletech fiction, 'mechs are supposed to be fast and nimble and able to fill a unique role apart from infantry or armor. They're supposed to be able to side-step long-ranged fire, and the pilots put on brain-link helmets to keep their mechs balanced in motion. They're able to punch and stomp each other. And yet every dang mechwarrior game plays like you're driving a tank that plays big stomp sounds while it hovers around. Why does a thing supposedly powered by synthetic muscle fibers have a drat throttle? Titanfall does better mechs than any of the mechwarriors. They feel so good and stompy. They're really nimble for something so big and heavy, but they still have that weight. Because they're only part of a more complicated infantry game, they get a chance to show off being totally loving sweet and huge, in a way that an exclusive mech v. mech fight doesn't. Northstar is the exact gauss rifle and jump jets variant that ruined online play in mw3&4 and it's fantastic here.

If you're up against better players - and you will be, because this game has really lovely matchmaking - going fast isn't going to help you all that much. They're going fast too, and they have better aim than you. Unless you want to zip around and die constantly and gently caress over 5 other players you have to meet them on their own terms.

Serious kits? gently caress off dude you can do well with (almost) any loving gun and ability in any combination. Git gud. If you want to learn how to be fast and good at the same time, start using phase shift with the EVA, learn how to engage people in the range that favors you. Wallrun, slide. All. the. time. You'll learn how to aim when you're moving fast too, or you'll die. Also hover is a trap. Don't use hover.

I didn't realize how fast Northstar is with the triple dash plus Hover. Flying around maps and poking enemy titans in the back with charged railgun shots was actually really fun. I've unlocked every Titan's level 9 kit except Northstar and Legion. Unfortunately I think Northstar is even more crippled than Scorch when it comes to dealing with pilots. Yeah you can try and nail them with the uncharged shot but for the most part you have to run the gently caress away if a pilot is attacking you when you're in a Northstar.

Ooh you're so wrong about that last part, and you're 80% to the solution. Northstar is an enraged weasel fueled by pilot blood and pilot tears, it's just that his main anti-pilot weapon is his big robot fist. With triple dash plus hover plus PUNCH, you can kill almost any pilot in grenade launcher range in two seconds. You can swat them off rooftops and bridges while flying, you can punch them through windows, you can sprint faster than they can wall-run. Lots of little guys expect you to run away from their fierce grenade launchers and won't expect you to dash forwards, soak one shot to the face, and splatter them. Northstar is fast and has a deceptively long reach. The cluster missile also explodes with a pretty big radius, then keeps exploding in that radius for a while. You can flush guys out from sneaky corners with it.

One heads up about the triple dash, it makes each individual dash take longer to regenerate. (Numbers are approximate from reddit) 1 dash takes 6 seconds to refill 2 dashes takes 12 seconds 3 dashes takes 24 second This only affects north star and ronin, because they're the only titans who can get three dashes.
