You've got to know the rules before you can break 'em. Otherwise, it's no fun.

Yes unless you use the stealth kit: it's a pretty loud clunk followed by more thumping noises as the pilot goes for the battery.

Still most people do use the stealth kit since the alternatives are somewhat lacklustre.

If you have the stealth kit it doesn't show the alert but still plays all the noises?

With Low Profile the Titan you're jumping on doesn't hear you jumping on and the Rodeo warning pops up a few seconds later, but by the time they see it it's too late to really do anything other than get ready to turn around and punch the pilot.

No: stealth kit muffles sounds considerably, both jump pack and rodeoing.
I think that if the titan is perfectly stationary and there's nothing going on you might be able to sort-of make out a pilot rodeoing you, but in any normal situation you won't hear them until they are about to pull out the battery.

Never played TF1 more than 2 hours on the 360 so I can't tell but I'm fine with what we got right now. Sometimes I fake a rodeo so the titan's pilot just freaks out and I keep shooting with the anti titan weapon or do something else.

I don't usually go for the rodeo unless I see the titan is REALLY distracted with a lot of poo poo, some people sit away enough from the TV so they have tunnel vision. I play next to my PC on a 22" screen and except for the controller I'm at PC awareness so when I'm getting rodeo'ed, I pop smoke and wait for the pilot to jump and get the kill a lot of times. Monarch's maelstrom is awesome since it deals a lot of damage and even popping it early means that I get a kill more often.

The one time I had a pilot do this when I was stood there I remembered this gif and made use of this fuckery. The pilot desperately hitting the double jump trying to scramble back to terra firma made me laugh so hard. I can imagine the killcam of that felt awful.

So thank you.

For weapons I was using Devotion for a long time, but it takes a little while to spin up and you're vulnerable.

Now I use LSTAR all day erry day. It's a blast watching them explode into meaty chunks.

Just a tiny bit related to this thread but Noclip back in may released another interview with Hugo Martin and Marty Stratton (Doom 2016) and they pointed that TF2 is their favourite mp game (and they love Bloodborne):

I like the fact that Hugo Martin worked on Pacific Rim with the design of the Jaegers and that might drive him to like TF2 too.

I may just be remembering wrong or maybe I just have my headphone volume cranked up, but to me the grapple connection sound and the zipline sound that the pilot makes always seem pretty clear to me. I can't find anything definitively confirming or denying it with a simple google search though.

I skimmed past the banner section and didn't realize they were adding these these fan made Restaurant backgrounds from a few months back as banners. That's pretty cool.








Ion banner is probably my least favorite but I'll still rock it.

I bought the big Angel City pack but yeah nothing else so far. I love their model of giving all the maps and content away for free but it really seems hard to monetize that way
