Also it's important to note that you can shoot through your own player/tone shield and it amps damage.

Only the orange Amped Wall pilot shield increases damage. Tones' Particle Wall and the Hard Cover boost do not.

All shields cannot be penetrated by any weapons from the opposing team. In the case of the Player shields, the shields themselves will stop an unlimited amount of damage for 15 seconds UNLESS their base generator (which is a small target at the bottom) is blown up.

For Titan shields, they generally have a hard time limit and an amount of damage they can stop before breaking. They completely stop all damage until they hit that limit, though.

I'm 95% sure this is incorrect; I believe the shields are one-way, they don't care about who dropped them. Try not to get caught on the wrong side of your own shield.

This is true. I have traded places with someone post-shield-deployment and salvo'ed off the front of my own shield and had none go through (and killed myself with the splash)

I miss all the animations being first person really. Executing/being executed in first person was loving awesome. That combined with the lack of friendly AI on modes other than Attrition I kinda feel like TF2's MP, despite being a better game overall, loses a lot of the charm the first game's MP had.

I've noticed a definite falloff in matchmaker quality later at night. Pre-10:00PM I generally get decent matches. The later it gets, the worse the quality gets. If I'm dumb enough to pull a late-nighter, by midnight it's all stacked one-sided stomps and guys named [DETH]KiLlErNinja1995 clowning the entire enemy team.

Just not enough players to work with, I imagine.

Try changing your regions, I default to the Utah server and noticed at night and on weekends the player base was bad, swapped to the Dallas server which has like 3 ping difference and got a much larger and diverse player pool.

Now that I know that, I'm definitely gonna try that. It didn't help that I kept going against names that stomped us before.

This was probably asked before, but how does Titdrop 1 compare to 2? Is it worth playing?

If you can find enough people playing and you ignore the opportunity cost of time that could be spent playing TFall 2...yeah I guess? TFall 1 didn't stop being an amazing game just because the new game came out. But at the moment I can't see much reason to go back to the old when the new is available. The few things that it did a little better don't outweigh all the great stuff they added.

And as much as I liked the "campaign multiplayer" they kinda gimped it with an update that cut out the mission briefings in the lobby and messed with some other stuff. If you're just looking for story you'd be better off watching a video like this one.

Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.
I kind of want to try a gimmick match where we all have fire shurikens and toss them at titans. Four people should be able to outright kill a stryder class with shurikens alone.

Yeah I really don't know why you can't shoot while Grappling. It's kind of dumb really. I wanted to feel like an action hero.

I love Tone but needed a change and find Legion boring, Northstar fun but occasionally too finnicky to play, Ion ineffectual (I'm just bad with her) and Ronin... well, yeah, so I tried Scorch.

Holy poo poo you guys Scorch is great when the stars align and all his abilities click. The damage he does is just insane and melting people with flame shield is brutal.

His gun is great too, pop it into a room where a pilot is and smell the crispy bacon frying. Mm-mm.

The best part is that Flame Core goes across the ground and right under Legion's shield. :getin:

I just realized today that if you're cloaked and carrying a battery titans will just see a floating glowing green canister. :aslol:

I like it because it actually feels like I have people to shoot. Also, I have no idea what the gently caress im doing when I try to anti-titan stuff as a Pilot.

That being said. Stealing someone's battery is one of the most exciting things to do in the game especially when you get away with it. I am still trying to figure out what I should do when the pilot decides to eject. I guess you jump off, but then you have the pilot and the auto-titan to deal with.
