The music in the Beacon is the best, as is getting a shot at the weird Arnie mercy and catching Blisk’s attention. The single player in this is just so tight as far as the pacing and writing goes... it’s nothing too wild (the gameplay is the innovative part) but it’s a nice, simple story told pretty effectively. Link to pilot. Uphold the mission. Protect the pilot. BT is a great character and earning his respect felt really earned in a way you rarely get with shooter characters. Blisk was an effective villain who was menacing and despicable without being cartoonish or gross. The game hints at a larger world without boring us with details and uses characters like Marder to quickly establish the stakes and reasons for why you’re the good guy.

Also I’ve been enjoying the multi in this again. If I’m on PS4 is anyone else also playing? Is there a group or something to join?

I'll be back to Tf2 as soon as I finish a few single player games. Over the winter I usually end up playing more TLoU Factions if I'm gonna multi

I LOVE SEEING DEAD BABIES ON 𝕏, THE EVERYTHING APP. IT'S WORTH IT FOR THE FOLLOWING TAB.
Just wanna say this multiplayer is fun as hell and it's a shame it didn't take off. I was playing terribly and still having so much fun. This game's curse is that it appears on the outside as a CoD-like so people who would enjoy it (especially the single player) probably avoid it.

I love how Cooper brought Marvin onto the militia ship or something.

Multi player is pretty much always fun, even when I'm getting my rear end handed to me I still have a good time flying around like a maniac.

High on the Lions.

I just got this game for 12 bucks Canadian. Holy wow do I feel like I underpaid. The single player campaign is amazing and I just started playing Multiplayer. The COOP mode is super fun to play, and I have no idea what I am doing except killing everything and shits blowing up and smokes everywhere and its such a blast.

I guess I will join the GOON PS4 group?

Has Not Actually Done Cocaine
So I could have sworn you were supposed to be able to use all the loadouts for BT after you beat the game if you play through it again, was I mistaken or did I accidentally erase my progress or something(cause I beat the game when I last played it about a year ago)?

Also multiplayer outside of Frontier Defense still sucks compared to TF1 in my opinion(Titans not starting with a shield by default and shields not being able to recharge is still an incredibly retarded idea, makes Titans feel pathetic compared to how they were in the first game, there if you were good at using a Titan you could last the entire game using just one)

What's you titan kill average these days Waz, because I think I'm averaging 6-8 per match, but a good chunk of that feels like the 650 point limit.

It depends, it's usually no more than 2 or 3 if I'm using Ion because I'm basically chipping away at other Titans from a distance and I often don't land the final dooming shot. For example the game I played last night I finished with 25 pilot kills, 1 titan kill and 26 AI kills. If I'm using Monarch my Titan kills are higher because I'm usually trying to go for that battery execution but with Ion it's best to play it from long range.

Yeah, I get that. Ion does seem like a specialized and well-rounded pilot hunter, almost how Tone was at launch. I've been maining Scorch for 10 months now and, like N4D says, Scorch is pretty good at getting that kill with a core, but the general buffs to Scorch from FD patch and the match points being upped really has changed my standings quite a bit. I'm sure it helps that I was pretty good with Scorch pre-patch, too, so when they gave him a free dash it felt like a breath of fresh air.


Anyways, any Scorch mains out there, I encourage you to use the Hellfire Launcher / Overcore / Extra Battery combo.

How come the only game mode people play is attrition?

My playlist filter is set to CTF, last titan standing, last pilot standing, and like 2 others and it takes me soooooooo long to find games.

I really think attrition is so uninspired, and it defeats the purpose of playing Titanfall

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

I think it's something hosed up with the matchmaker. From the time I got the game 5 months ago until a week or two ago I had gotten in a game that wasn't attrition exactly one time. Then on one day a week or two ago I got every other game type for several hours and attrition once. Since that day I have never had anything but attrition.

I love that this game can still have it's highs even in a loss. Watching the dropship departure countdown across the map while you're hoofing it to get underneath it and jam the eject button just before it makes the jump. :allears:

One day I decided to try and collect all the missing helmets. Loaded up a YouTube guide and started following along from the beginning. I bailed on that quest 30 minutes in and just played through the entire campaign. Such a good replay value

It's the first single player FPS game that I have enjoyed since the first Modern Warfare. I hope Titanfall 3 can keep up the gameplay and not release between BF and CoD next time.

Isn’t it the theory was the release was intentional to create more market competition because ea was releasing two games and thus able to capture more market than letting cod/bf duke it out?
