Oh hey, I also just noticed that if you missed this for some reason, there's an ~ultimate~ edition for $7.50 that starts with everything unlocked since everybody else is G50 or whatever.

So just jumping in to say that I bought the game months ago but only got around to giving multiplayer a try this past weekend. And when I say I'm new, this is probably the first modern shooter that I've played since, say, TF2. So my game play is pretty ugly and I'm getting regularly curb stomped, but I'm still enjoying it a lot! Are there any weapons or upgrades that are worth purchasing with credits right off the bat? And what sort of titans or worth playing with? I've been sticking with the Legion titan and I do enjoy it's firepower, but it's speed tends to be the real drawback.

The best guns in the game - the CAR, Alternator, Spitfire - are all very early unlocks, and you'll have all the titans early on too. Really the biggest disadvantage you'll have is players who've had triple-digit hours in their favorite titan deleting your titan as soon as you drop.

The multiplayer stuff unlocks so fast it's really dumb to spend extra on the digital deluxe edition or whatever, even if it's just two bucks more.

I've been sticking with the Legion titan and I do enjoy it's firepower, but it's speed tends to be the real drawback. As mentioned, Car, Alternator (single shot this rather than hold down the trigger) and Spitfire are solid. I had an unreal amount of fun with the EVA 8 shotgun when the game was still in it's infancy before it got nerfed quite a bit. It's still fun but it's not quite the same level as flaming buckshot death cannon that it used to be. Personally I love Scorch but like Legion he's slowwwww and a lot more reliant on good positioning to murder everything. Legion's smart core = everything dies, it's a perfect pilot murderer, 2x power shot also cleaned up before a nerf. Tone I think is one I used to begin with, he's pretty easy to use; hit 3x with the cannon and R1 for tracking missiles. He has a tracking ping thing (the titan kit where it pings 2x is verrrry useful) and a shield. Ion I had great fun with too, that laser shot is massively accurate and it was so much fun sniping ejecting pilots out of the sky. Again they nerfed this a bit in terms of targeting reticule and amount of time between shots but he still plays really well particularly if you use grand cannon for your core ability. 2x length on your core? Yes please. Northstar and Ronin I've never played much as to be honest but Northstar's 2x length cluster missile, threat scope and shots through other titans were very useful depending on situation. Ronin can tank virtually everything but unless you're holding down sword block he goes down quicker than any other titan. Thing is though his presence makes everyone panic because they know you have to get up in their face to do much to them. I'm yet to figure out how to use him properly. Monarch is decent, has a million upgrade options letting you build it however you want really so it takes some getting used to. Before you get core upgrades you're fairly defenseless though so it takes some smart play to get the best out of it. Once you've hit that 3rd core though every other one is a free shield plus every execution you perform steals a battery meaning you can keep Monarch alive a lot longer than the other titans around (if you're decent that is). There's so much to try out in this game, don't be afraid to eat losses while you're figuring out what you enjoy playing like. There's definitely an optimal way of doing things but optimal isn't always fun so just play.

The Northstar cluster missile is frankly gross for anti pilot work. Launch it into a doorway pilots may approach from and you have a good chance of getting multiple kills from it. On Titans it faces the Scorch problem of just walking away from the hurt, but pilots have a half-second if that. The Robin block is incredibly good, like tanking most cores for only half your health good.

SpazmasterX posted:Nothing is a hard counter to a good Legion. Yeah, I kind of knew that when I posted. Same with Ion. They kind of soft counter each other because of the old shield blocks laser but vortex blocks minigun. I just know that when I'm Tone and I see a Ronin I usually steer clear, and when I'm Ronin and I see Scorch I don't even bother.

The Alternator is an absurdly fun gun and the one I clicked hardest with. Reliable damage, a good ROF and it can be used to plink at a distance. For running and gunning it's superb I was a Tone main until she started getting a load of hate so I branched out and tried the others. I like them a lot, but now I don't care what the haters think and Tone is my main gal again. She's so cool. Scorch is super solid and fun to play as though, I really recommend him

Songbearer posted:I was on the verge of buying Black Ops 4 to get my Shoot Things urges sated but then I remembered that in a just and good world Titanfall 2 should've been considered the de facto gold standard for fast-paced multiplayer shooting, and it died a horrible, insulting death and I got so disgusted by the injustice of it all that every whim I had to buy Blops vanished into the ether Frankly I think they did play it, and like me found the multiplayer was a backwards step from Titanfall 1 in almost every way except movement and new pilot/titan designs. Respawn took an immersive story-driven online war experience and turned it into a sports match arena with inferior dead maps, ugly skins and an amateur UI. This thread has been an echo chamber of positivity for 2 years from people who I think just have low standards outside of the meta gameplay mechanics (which are top notch). I’ve tried to get into TF2, but it does not look or feel right at all, it’s too plasticky and fake. TF1 is a higher quality title in terms of art, environment design and ambition, it has more character, the conflict is more exciting and makes thematic sense between Militia vs. IMC. The campaign in TF2 is very well made for sure but the MP is almost offensive to me as a fan of the original. Look what they did to the Grunts for one thing, what the heck! Genuinely I am shocked this was made by the same Respawn as the original. I hate to bring up reddit but search the TF sub there and the consensus seems in favour of the original. At this point I think a Titanfall 3 should move closer to large-scale future warfare like Battlefield 2142. psyman fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Dec 4, 2018 |

I do think TF1 multi looked and played better. The two games remind me a lot of CoD4 and Modern Warfare 2 - the sequel has a lot more stuff in it, and it'll probably be the one most people remember as the Titanfall, but the original had a purity and cohesion to it. That might partly be because I really enjoyed the fully customizable Titans and the bigger focus on the 'living battlefield' with panicking Grunts running around underfoot. Also the music. e: don't miss the multiplayer campaign at all though General Battuta fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Dec 4, 2018 |

I mean, I can usually see where people are coming from but that's absolutely bizarre criticism. It lauds things that aren't there (TF1's story???) and singles out criticisms for TF2 that both games share (the big robot mechs are cartoonish and fake - no poo poo! that's in both games)

I liked the original Titanfall enough but the story based multiplayer grated on me after a while. It felt like they had a great idea for a concept that didn't really land at all, though gameplay was solid all around. I liked the dearth of options in TF2, especially the grapple hook, and the cosmetic unlocks were enough to keep me trooping on until I had a set of characters and loadouts I thought were super cool. I get people liking the purity of the original game but it also seemed like people settled on the semi-auto rifle and standing on the corner of the maps to plink away at people before anything interesting could happen, either that or it was smartgun and satchel spam all day every day. With Titanfall 2 I could run and gun and still be a useful asset to the team and all the weapons seemed useful with the maps having lots of room for tight corridor combat and sprawling open areas - the only one I thought was a clunker is the giant outdoors one. Homestead, I think? Taking a similarly-abbreviated game series as an example there were a lot of people who lauded the purity of the old Team Fortress Classic over Team Fortress 2 when it came out, and while I can appreciate the sentiment I can't agree from a gameplay and accessibility standpoint. Titanfall 2 just felt a lot friendlier in the way of letting you play the game the way you enjoyed it. Though I did think about a Battlefield-sized version of Titanfall I think the lower playercounts and high lethality really makes the game, otherwise it'd just be too easy to pick off players who wanted to traverse the map since there'd be eyes all over the place. One of the most refreshing things about the series is that you're so mobile that snipers have to work to be useful rather than having them suck the fun out of the game for everyone else. Speaking of which, I recently upgraded my computer and Black Ops 4 did come free with my processor, so I've finally gotten round to playing it. Call of Duty's shooting still feels real good and it's every bit as addictive as I remember it being, the last one I played being Black Ops 1, but it also just makes me crave Titanfall 3 desperately. There's a character with a grappling hook which is interesting for the gameplay of CoD, but after TF2's it's so limited and lethargic that it's almost laughable. Snipers are abundant on the PC and an immediate death sentence if they have any semblance of aim and if you get caught out in the open, you're hosed five ways to friday. With Titanfall there's always a manoeuvre or trick you can pull to get you out of a tricky situation. Despite how people feel about the original, you have to admit that Titanfall 2 definitely deserved a lot more attention than it got. Even on release playercounts were godawful.

Whenever I see TF1 evangelists it usually just seems to confirm that it’s ok I never got around to TF1. Just nothing they ever list as things that are bad about 2 are actually things I think are bad at all. That said I’d still like to try it but I just assume the servers are literally empty at this point.

I mean, I'd still probably say that I liked TF1's more open map design better, but that's literally all. It was also a fairly slight game, and I only ended up buying it for, like, 15 bucks.

The main thing I miss from Titanfall 1 is the loving detail given to the Grunts and their wider range of combat barks. The pain points of the multiplayer campaign aside, the Grunts in TF1 really felt like they were allied with either team and pursuing the same goals as the Pilots. Respawn really had something special there and it's missing in TF2, which is a drat shame.

TF2 combat felt really slow until I realized stim was MP only. I loved the campaign in TF1, I just wish it had been possible to play it after the first month. TF2 had way better set pieces (fuckin' time-travel parkour  ) but I enjoyed the radio-play narrative you got from listening to grunts and briefings in TF1's online campaign. Also, the grunt-drop at the end of the IMC campaign was one of the coolest gaming-moments for me. TF2 MP seemed a little better since the meta on PC went beyond shotty/satchels, but that's just me.
