I like how Scorch does this force lightning thing with his flames and just incinerates the pilot.

Incidentally, this is the right way to play Scorch.

I figured out why I am so utterly poo poo at shooting at this game besides playing it on PS4. COD has incredibly generous lock-on when you ADS and the maps have very defined sight lines and are primarily horizontal, whereas this game is all about predictable angles which constantly shift and move. I don't know if I can hack it. I'm getting destroyed in Pilots v Pilots with only 2 kills the whole map. It's frustrating. Maybe I'm just getting too old for this poo poo.

I can almost guarantee that I am older than you and I can hack it! Switch your controls to bumper jumper (pilot only) and give it some time.

Does PVP have titan meter? Could you get that until you get enough for a smart pistol?

I would buy a Titan execution where they rip off a hatch, squat over it and poo poo oil into it.

I would probably not buy a pilot execution where you steal the pin out of someone's grenade.

What a horrible thread to have a post.
If you're learning the game then Pilot v Pilot is the wrong mode. It's full of the highest skill guys who don't like Titan fights because they are too slow and "unfair".

Stop trying to play it like COD and start moving. You don't have to ADS if you don't want to. It can help you for long distance shots but that's about it.

Pilot vs. Pilot is also more hectic than Attrition, due to there being even more pilots per side than usual.

Ever since someone in here pointed out that you can vortex Legion's gun back under its shield, I get super loving hyped up whenever I know there's a Legion on the other team because I know, that even if I don't contribute anything else all match, somebody is going to be eating poo poo.

Wazzit is the reason I play Ion a lot now. I love that titan almost as much as I love his gifs.


Also, I am thankful for 2 things. First that he is a goon, second that he plays on console. Just imagine that skill with the precision of a mouse.

Not to mention it's 8v8 so it's hectic as hell. I really hate this game in 8v8 in any mode. The maps don't seem big enough for it so you end up with dumb spawns and getting shot in the back instantly a lot.

It doesn't always work, but generally if they are aiming at the weak spot on your Titan it leaves a gap between the shield and the ground. It also builds your core crazy fast, so after you reflect a bunch of bullets at them you can Optic Blast them for good measure.

I do love Ion but Northstar is good and fun and idk why I didn't play him earlier. I really want to like scorch but I'm just so bad with him :(

Funkameleon posted:

I play at off peak hours because of work and I've really grown to loathe attrition, the only playlist with people playing. I don't think I've ever really had a close game, and I feel like comebacks are the hardest to make in it.

Eh, quite the opposite for me imo. You really need to group up--not sure how anyone plays otherwise. Even just having a small group of 3 helps a lot. Granted there are attrition games that are just stomps I feel a lot of them end with the scores pretty close. There are some epic comebacks often as well. Hell, last night we ended up coming back and winning a game 475-474

But yeah group up

Ya why are you playing pilot vs pilot? Mess around with the aiming sensitivities (both ads and not) and switch to bumper jumper if you haven't already.

Ion is cool and good. He's my favorite general use Titan and the second I made it to gen 2 with, scorch being the first. The whole kit is useful, even if the primary is a bit weak. Wazzit, are you a PSBro or Xboner? I'd love to see lasers with another Ion enthusiast.

I'm mainly on Xbox but I also have it on PS4 because I have no self control. Add me, Wazzit on both consoles.

I'm absolutely in love with this game. So much so that I bought it again on ps4 despite already owning it on the PC. I don't think I've been this obsessed about a first person shooter since team fortress or tribes.

I'm pretty terrible though. Is there an on screen indicator where the AI grunts are for farming? Or do I just need to memorize where the lanes are?

Using it you will never lose a Bounty Hunt game.

last night i discovered that northstar's tether can also apparently tether pilots, when (i assume this was the sequence of events) i got into a close range fight with northstar while on low health, activated nuclear eject in an attempt to make her retreat back into allies, after i started activating nuke she dropped a tether under me, and then my pilot just got pulled right the gently caress back down into my own nuclear ejection. i honestly couldnt even be mad at that, it was loving hilarious

So the minimap will show the position and direction of gunfire. The small dots are on the minimap are grunts, spectres, or stalkers. Big dots are other pilots.

Also since there is a 7-11 next to my place I decided to download the app and buy some doritos to get that COOL avatar for Xbox....but they never sent me the email. Did anyone else never get their Titanfall 2 7-11 promo codes?
