Certain armor camos and colors are locked behind regen levels. Also any upgrades you purchase with credits is automatically unlocked even if you regen so by the 4th go round you very likely have bought all the components of a load out you're comfortable with, so regeneration becomes less of a hassle.

That final wave of War Games is supremely cool because I have to kill 9 mortar titans by myself while my team stands in front of the turret castle near the harvester.

It's especially awesome that they don't change their tactics after two wipes

I wish that's what it was like. More often, I'm of, doing a great job killing the mortar titans. And then "Friend Titan is Attacking Your Target" "Friendly Titan is Attacking You Target"

Half my team is here. Shooting the mortar titans that I'm about to kill. Oh look, there are 12 enemy titans around the harvester just pummeling it. You all decided that I wasn't doing a good enough job completely demolishing the mortar titans so you came to help. Thanks.

It's a bit of a tossup what happens, but I'm more frustrated when I clear out the mortar titans but the other players just can't handle the horde of Scorches, Ions, Arc Titans, and Reapers that have inevitably closed in while I'm off mortar-hunting.

Usually this happens when we have a Monarch and a Tone, or two Monarchs, on the team. And they can't be arsed to go chase the Mortars so I have to despite being in a Northstar or, worse, a Legion/Scorch.

Yeah it's usually me as a scorch watching the minimap for 10-15 seconds and seeing no arrows go for the mortars. At least I put my point into the dash ability

I haven't played in about six months, is Ion good now? Quite liking Monarch, but Scorch is still my favourite and feels the most familiar. Tone and Ronin feel...I dunno...off? Were there any major changes I missed?

Fun fact dropping a Titan on a nuclear Titan in fd doesn't trigger the explosion.

Ion was good 6 months ago. She's been nerfed since, reduction to laser shot cone, as well as the shot's damage and you can no longer double tap with it. It's a bout a 5 second wait but it feels longer than that. Also it's hard for me to use Ion in Attrition when I know I could really put some mileage as a Monarch, so I guess Monarch was also kind of a nerf?

Not only it doesn't trigger nuclear explosion but you can use your dome titan to block others for a long time while you align 4 or 5 to a fast reload thunderbolt. You can kill like 10 titans from the drop and Zeus' righteous bollocks.

I just picked up this game so I missed the pre-nerf version but Laser Shot is still ridiculous good. I'm surprised it doesn't have a very short chargeup like the Charge Rifle.

Ion is more than viable for FD and PVP. The other titans are arguably better, sure. As an Ion main his nerfs were lame but; they were also fair, though.

There have been nerfs to the splash radius of the 40mm, Salvo Core's damage, and the cooldown of the sonar Pulse. Plus all titans except for Ronin received nerfs to titan melee range. Biggest nerf in my mind is that enemy titans know when you have a lock on them, so if you're running Ion or Ronin, it's fairly easy to dodge the rocket salvo. Tone is still pretty good but I'd say Ronin and Ion have higher ceilings at this point.

Speaking of, that's why I prefer the dome shield over the warpfall transmitter: it's not too hard to titanfall AIs even with the longer delay and being able to lock down a chokepoint with an invulnerable barrier can be invaluable.
Also I don't have to worry about losing my freshly-dropped titan if it lands near a doomed nuke titan. :v:

Once you get the 40mm splash radious upgrade it gets better. Use the improved sonar perk for two ticks and you'll be making GBS threads rockets all day.

The upgraded sonar has the added bonus of making the Northstar on your team amazingly more effective as it can now line up shots through the smoke with ease.

I have made a terrible mistake: I have put off getting the basic banner for the Wingman until now.

Like Mozambique? Still pretty sweet. So is the RE-45 once you realize you need to ADS with it. P2016 was more tricky but honestly I feel like it's tricky for non-damage related reasons (ie I really want a reflex sight on it when I'm not relying on the hipfire).

Wingman Elite was really ehhhhh with the ammo and damage changes, and from what I've heard, the normal Wingman's even worse with it apparently being a three shot for body shots now.
Some of them weren't terrible, but I feel like the pistol nerfs were something that nobody asked for and only serve to make pistol banners take longer.

legion can be pretty clutch for deleting nuke titans with his power shot when they get too close to allies or the harvester. also getting the dreadnought aegis upgrade turns you in to the big gun daddy and is great fun

I use warpfall because I don't want to be that rear end in a top hat who drops his titan right in the middle of a crucial firefight, and ends up blocking every shot fired, and then takes a whole 10 minutes to get his lovely Ronin out of my way

All my muscle memory's on pc so my gamepad play on ps4 is pretty weak, but retained map knowledge and familiarity with player habits means I usually do okay. But tonight I was so bad, I got someone to shout at me over mic, though granted this was after I'd lucked my way into killing him repeatedly with stupid, dumb luck bullshit. The guy was like Gen 9 and I was barely Gen 3. My tv volume was set low so I couldn't make out exactly what they were saying, except my name, repeatedly, in increasingly exasperated tones and a series of syllables that sounded suspiciously like "you loving suck you loving suck how are you so bad at this game." They later ragequit in despair when they noticed they were on my team again, but not before I shot ahead of them on the scoreboard with a few pilot kills in the first half-minute while they were busy moaning.


And then I managed to make it to the top 3 of that match with Legion, and I almost never play legion outside of FD. Here's to you, WrsUrCrlyMustach, you incredibly salty, stupid bastard.

I also helped what I assume was a ten-year-old kid stumble his way through Black Water Canal. He seemed confused by why I would take a Northstar up onto the bridge and not park by the base with him, but he seemed to appreciate the fact that you can actually put arc mines on the mortar titan spots. He also panic-hit shield invulnerability when mortars started happening, which while not necessarily the correct option in that situation, was appreciated. Even if I had to chuckle a little.

Hearing a small child look at my score after the match and say, out loud, "holy crap" was a pretty good note to end that session on. Felt like a goddamn hero, which definitely turned my mood around from being repeatedly dunked on in Attrition.
