I've had games where i didnt even notice a huge comeback happening. I wish they had an option for a notification when a team is halfway to victory or had 20 points left etc etc. Everything else is so in your face I forget to keep an eye on the scoreboard.

At 350 the whole team needs to be concentrating on killing the other team's reapers. Simple as that.

The mistake that teams make is they overextend in titan vs titan in the last 2 minutes of the match and then lose 3 or 4 titans all at once, like 60 points all at once. It's inexcusable when you can kill 3 or 4 reapers with zero danger as a titan.

Also, if you want to kill reapers as a pilot you should be using the Archer since it's piss easy.

Not sure if sarcasm but I was in the middle of killing a Reaper.

No, it's just that even though I look for minion kills, sometimes I'll skip a grunt or two to avoid detection or because I'm wildly expecting an enemy to pop up soon, and it would drive me crazy if that 1 point ended up making the difference.

Under 3 full shots, like 2 and some hipfire.

An Archer with fast reload and extra ammo is a damage factory.

Queueing for multiple modes of your choice makes Mixtape obsolete, especially if you could save your preferences for your own personal "Mixtape" (which actually fits the nomenclature, too)

I keep fighting people who can zip around the map super fast and shoot like Lazer pointers without ever missing a shot or skipping a beat. Also there impossible to hit and always seem to know we're everyone is. I don't know if there cheating or just that good but it really makes me feel like not playing.

Trying to be constructive: play during prime time as much as possible. There is a skill component to their matchmaking but it gets weaker the longer you wait. It also does pretty badly with parties. So stack the odds in your favor as much as possible - play when there's lots of people on so the game can make a good match.

Get both. Bf1 has the most players, like almost ten times titanfall if you can only get one, get titanfall 2 now and enjoy it while it's still kind of healthy on ps4.

It's also incredibly rewarding for skilled play.

Here in the Titanfall 2 thread, where we talk about how great Titanfall 2 is, I'm going to recommend Titanfall 2.

They're both FPS's but other than that very different games? If Battlefield games are your jam, get that one. If you want something faster (better) get Titanfall.

I've been playing on mute almost this whole time because of babyfall, but i just put some headphones on this morning and found out Ronin has a British accent. He even said "A friendly titan has bean destroyed. An unfortunate loss." I like the Jarvis vibe I got but I still want the voice to be Kriegers hologram princess from Archer (she should also be on a cockpit screen down in the corner reacting to you or acting out what you're doing).

I've literally never gotten anybody being lovely on voice but it's kind of annoying when you get that guy who's shouting orders to everyone on the team while ending the match with 50 points. I've gotten exactly 1 match where the guy making all the noise was at least with 2 other people from his private network, but other than that it's always 5 pubbies and one of them is magically trying to coordinate everyone, except that coordination is usually along the lines of "everyone come kill this guy camping the radio tower"

That's more than i ever get out of them. Even with the sound off so i can Spotify, my PS4 gives me voice chat and when i forget to mute people individually it's only ever the most vile sinus clearing noises imaginable punctuated by the occasional "-ucking rear end in a top hat i wasn't ev--".

BF1 is kinda fun, whereas Titanfall 2 is amazingly fun. Therefore, you should get Titanfall 2.

From the beta for Battlefield 1 it felt more like Battlefront then the previous battlefield games (shooting from the hip seems much much more effective, at least in the beta), felt different from battlefield 4 anyways, it was fun though. But since I already had Battlefront and I hadn't touched it in awhile (gently caress spending more on the price of the game for the bs season pass) I got Titanfall 2. Titanfall 1 on the 360 was amazing and I had alot of fun playing it. It had so many free updates and content and continued to improve it self, even when it numbers dwindled. Seems its the same case for Titanfall 2, even though the game isn't that old, the sad truth is there is probably more people playing Modern Warfare 3 on the 360.


That being said, Titanfall 2 is a really unique game and I find its repeated comparisons to COD games annoying as I couldn't stand those games. The campaign is great and has some of the best multiplayer and by far the most frantic and fast paced. While the numbers online aren't as great as Battlefield 1 there is still enough players to find matches. Battlefield 1 will have a longer shelf life but you will have more fun playing Titanfall 2.

Titanfall 2 is the most fun I've had in a shooter since UT2k4 and I've played a lot of Battlefield in the intervening years (not 1 though).

Hello Pilots—Jay here. Happy New Year! Last year we said that we were committed to supporting Titanfall 2 for the long haul and this journey began with the release of Angel City’s Most Wanted and we’re just getting started. We have many things in the works for Titanfall 2 players in 2017 and today we’re excited to reveal what’s next. In our next content drop coming soon, we’ll be introducing a brand-new mode called Live Fire: a lightning fast 6v6 Pilot only mode that brings competitive, close quarter combat to the forefront. A round-based best of 5 mode with no respawns, you will have one minute to eliminate the opposing team in order to win the round. You can also win the round if your team is holding the neutral flag when the round timer ends. It’s fast, frantic, and sure to help hone those teamwork and mobility skills. We’re also introducing two brand new maps designed specifically for Live Fire: Stacks and Meadow. Playable only in the Live Fire playlist, these two maps are tight, enclosed death boxes designed specifically for the fast-paced, intense nature of the mode.

In addition to Live Fire and the two new dedicated maps for that mode, we’re also going to be introducing a brand-new Coliseum map called Columns, as well as another Pilot execution (wait until you see this one!), and multiple new Commander intros for each Faction. We’ll have more details on when you’ll be getting your hands on this soon and everything in this update will be free for all Titanfall 2 players. We’ve also been working on a significant update to our playlist interface. We agree with much of the feedback that having game modes split between two screens is not an ideal user experience. The team has been working to introduce a brand new interface for the next content drop on consoles and possibly a bit earlier on PC so we can test it out. Below you can check out our work in progress to give you an idea how it will change. Our goal is to allow players to create their own ‘mixtapes’ and choose which modes they want to be matched in. Would you like to match in just Attrition, Amped Hardpoint, and Last Titan Standing? Simply select the modes you want and hit play. We’ll talk more about this and more in the coming weeks.

Everything else is still highly classified, but hopefully you are starting to get a sense at how we’re planning to support Titanfall 2 post-launch. Soon we will reveal our roadmap for the next couple months that will have more maps [including remasters of more maps from Titanfall], weapons, modes, and more. Stay tuned to @titanfallgame for updates, this is going to be an exciting year for Titanfall 2. Thanks for your support!

I don't know, the main problem with Pilots V Pilots, other than the lack of titans, is that the maps are too drat big for it. So having a smaller more focused PVP mode seems like it'll be fine for all 60 of the people who want to play PVP.

Not gonna lie - was hoping they would introduce the Spyglass faction.

Anyway, this is a good patch, and will hopefully juice the lesser-played modes. They are Doing The Queueing right, hooray.

As for Live Fire, it seems like an attempt at making an E-Sports segment of the game so I wish them the best on that.

Edit: there's going to be more Titanfall 1 maps, which is extremely good IMO.
