Just tell me I'm exotic.
I'm on PS4 so I keep the FoV at the low end. Not because I sit far enough away from the TV for it to not matter but because the frame rate gets a little wonky the further up you go. It's not unplayable it just becomes inconsistent which feels bad.

I wonder if I haven't noticed the fps issue because I'm playing on my monitor at 720p. I played quake 1 at something ridiculous like 150 or 170. I was suuuuuper stoked when Iearned that this ps4 game let me jack it up.

i went up in FOV from 70 to 90 and that seems way better but it made my head hurt for like the first four matches. I was also wondering why I wasn't doing good with the DMR like I was before and realized it was because the actual crosshair on the threat scope is trash compared to either of the others

Because the spread and travel time means you can't hit the broad side of a barn with it at more than extremely short range, and the splash damage is nearly nonexistent? And it's mediocre usefulness against Titans doesn't make up for that. I don't know how you come away from using that gun with anything but disdain for it.

It's my primary for my anti-titan class, the damage is actually middling to passable if you can hit the weak points. It's true that you'll lose most face offs with SMGs, but if you get the drop on someone the missiles melt people pretty fast as well. I mostly use it in the second third of the round if the enemy team gets a few titans before us, for short to medium range stuff while I'm evading until i can get my titan down.

And last night I had a really weird death.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbHCzq8yQ_k

Things I've gathered from watching the video:
-The enemy team got no points for the death.
-It was too early for reapers, and there was no drop zone marker anyway
-My titan didn't appear in the killfeed.
-You can see something walk away

Does anyone know what happened here? Did a friendly titan drop on me? :iiam:

At $24, I'd say this game is worth it for even just the single player. I'd say jump on it.

Of you're at all interested in it that a v good price and sooner is better than later for multiplayer on something like this where it for sure will eventually become really hard to queue for games. The campaign is good too.

Played a bunch of LTS last night due to the whole Double XP thing. Whole lot of pubbies playing it seems, people using poo poo like loving assault chip which is worse than useless in a game mode you virtually never step outside your robot. That's what, taking place of something useful like overcore/turbo engine?? Idiots.

*though I suppose that could be explained by regenerating resetting everything I suppose (why hasn't that been patched?)


Also an entire team of Ronin is pretty funny, just dash noises constantly.

Use amped weapons boost. It's makes the DMR into a one hit kill monster. If you're trying to be more mobile with it, I like using the fast ADS perk + stim so you can treat it more like an AR.

As far as DLC for Titanfall 2; we’ve made some great improvements to the game and added rad content like Live Fire mode and Angel City, but we could have done a better job at communicating the breadth of stuff we planned to release. This is something that we will get better at and the studio remains committed to supporting Titanfall 2 with free content as well as new Prime Titans, store items, and more.

The next Frontier News Network will be out on March 23, and you’ll want to make sure to keep an eye out for it as we will be revealing the first details regarding our March DLC content. In April, we will provide a broader view at how we will be supporting Titanfall 2 over the next few months.

e: not trying to be mean spirited but I'm fairly disappointed with Respawn's post launch support, 5 months later and we'll have 2 maps from the first game and 2 smaller maps for a mode that doesn't really cater to why I like playing TITANfall.

A TF moment: I ejected 2 seconds after another dude did, saw where he landed and then drifted my freefall to land on top of him with a downward melee kick to the skull.

EA apparently screwed up and spilled the beans that the next update (the Colony remake one) actually includes two maps and an old weapon from Titanfall 1 (non boost smart pistol? Sidewinder?).

My most frustrating deaths are getting punted up when a Titan I'm rodeo'ing self-destructs. The ejecting pilot always ends up way above me and kills me mid-air before I can track them :smith:

OTOH I'm getting really good at ejecting and accurately dropping frags from mid-air. Those are always satisfying kills :unsmith:

The SMR is the Sidewinder and I highly doubt they'd be stupid enough to put in a regular Smart Pistol.

I think the game's weak DLC support was inevitable, it didn't sell well on launch and it doesn't have a monetized loot box system like its competitors to rake in money, and its microtransactions probably weren't enough to draw EA to back big DLC pushes.

Couple that with Respawn taking off for the holidays and we are where we are today. Game development isn't cheap and these are for profit companies. Paid DLC might split the player base, but free DLC isn't as worthwhile for them to bother with.

Honestly they should just let people buy Advocate Gifts, they're basically loot boxes. I dunno man, give some way for idiots to throw money at EA, it's how Mass Effect multiplayer worked and the free DLC support for that game was phenomenal.
