There aren't any titans for the first few minutes of each game, so running an anti-titan weapon out of the gate is pretty pointless.

On the other hand, zapping some poor pilot with the charge beam across half the map for the first kill of the game is hilarious.

Edit:. Anyway, how do people feel about the double take? Took it for a spin for a couple of games after the unlock and I don't hate it, but it really needs an amp. If you aren't a headshot machine it feels like the travel time and slower fire rate will get you killed if you're spotted.

I have no issues finding games either but I worry that the playerbase will dry up in a couple months and I want Respawn to do well financially because they're an awesome studio.

Double Take is loving awesome. And that might be the lone endorsement you'll find for it in this thread.

I use variable zoom in this game though rarely use high zoom(mostly just for scouting)

And if I'm sniping I'm always running a sidearm.

I saw a headline somewhere that COD sales were down 40% this year, which I'm hoping means Overwatch and TF2 cut into that. Everyone I've convinced to buy the game has been boomin on it, so once it goes on sale on PSN, I'm sure it'll build community and hype for 3.

Ya I've bought drat near every COD like an idiot. Not because I'm a diehard fan, but not much compares tbh. That said, I'm done with their price gouging, loot crates/pay-to-win, and season pass that I never get to use

Not that Overwatch is the first to do it, I just really like that free DLC model with cosmetic poo poo to buy. I'm no video game journalist, but I'd wager to guess that Overwatch is making more money with that rather than a season pass.

Knifegrab posted:

It does have DLC, in fact its going to have quite a bit, the catch is, its all free, so as not to fragment the player base.

Yeah I love this and all I just hope they don't abandon it too soon. Aside from the Angels City map in December, nothing has really been mentioned, and their Twitter is relatively dead (unless I'm missing something). No info from devs about new content, patches, tone nerfs. I mean why haven't they already released a bunch of gaudy cosmetic poo poo to cash in? Maybe they're waiting for Xmas. So while I really want this game to succeed, and I'm not saying it sold terribly, I'm worried they'll just wipe their hands with it and stop supporting it

Aside from the dew/doritos poo poo and laughable buffal Wild wings promo this game has no buzz and it doesn't seem like devs are trying to generate any by promoting, announcing, or talking about poo poo

I'm guessing you do a sidearm with quick swap to deal with close targets? Tried to hipfire in a jam earlier and some of the shots came out nearly perpendicular .

Un-amped it feels like the worst of both worlds when compared to the Kraber and DMR but when you amp it it's pretty hilarious. DMR is honestly still better IMHO since it's hitscan with the same damage profile but I was getting quite a few kills with the Double Take even without amping it last night once I got into the groove of aiming it so it's fine if you want to use it.

Actually, I usually run the fast ads perk and faster cool down on kills perk. I feel pretty comfortable with my own awareness to not need to run quick swap. But honestly not having my death count visible in game makes me not give too much of a poo poo about dying.

I just typed "not" a lot.

I didn't realize DMR was hitscan. I'll have to give it a fair shake once i unlock it again.

Level 11 means you've unlocked all the mods and scopes for a gun, everything past that is skins and banners until regen (20?), but as I understand it gun and titan regen doesn't re-lock anything, it just resets the counter.

Anti titan weapons, its level 6 or 7?

Never looked at pilot sidearms, not sure what the point is. Actually, can anyone enlighten me as to why I would use a sidearm in place of a anti-titan weapon? Are the grenade launchers in the primary category any good against Titans? I've seen people occasionally using the Mozambique, but I never see any other sidearms.

I use pistols in Pilot v Pilot

8 gigs DDR3-1333 (RIP other pair of 8), no other "applications" running and tried to overzealously kill a bunch of stuff off in task manager, turned every option in audio and video to off/lowest. Payin some more attention it doesn't sit at 100% the entire time, don't know what has to be happening to trigger it but seems looking out across with a good view of a map does it - thanks for the graph, mine prolly looks like that just shifted up so 45% is average and 100% is peak. On a good note, found out I can probably go up to 4.6 maybe 4.7ghz on my CPU to make me feel better about holdin off for the new chips.

Now I gotta make myself take off the troubleshooting hat and just play the drat game!

One thing I found really helped was setting an FPS limit usin nvinspect. Without it I was bouncing around between 100-144 FPS which was really loving with my mouse input. Give that a shot too, I set mine at 90 FPS and everything is super smooth.

In a round of Last Titan Standing I rushed ahead to grab a battery to drop in a beefy Titan and then rush in and nuclear eject as Ronin, but the beefy Titan walked into enemy fire as I was giving him the battery and I died.

Is there a way to destroy a battery you've grabbed? It's pretty annoying that you usually just get killed and drop the battery to be picked right back up most of the time.

since they reduced the bounty hunt count from 6k at the eleventh possible hour. it would be nice if they forced you to actually deposit to win. Feels scummy just beating up on a bounty titan and suddenly winning and have lost plenty of close matches to gunfire latency on a bounty titan

No. But it's still worth it because it pretty much instantly fills up your titan meter and I think it still takes away more damage than it replenishes when they take it back.
