There are a bunch of goon squad networks on xbone which is the right one?

Once those rockets start leaving your cannon, they go wherever you're pointing your reticle.

I like to shoot mine straight up in the air and then look at my target. Death from above.

They really need some emotes in this game.

yeah for salvo and regular lock on rockets you want to pretty much always be firing them up or to the side so they can go around corners.

That free to play Titanfall Online (exclusive to the Asia market) looks to basically be Titanfall 1 with new skins. I kinda thought maybe it would be a mix of both games like COD: Online being a mix of COD4/MW2/BLops1.

Pretty sure titanfall 3 is still in development guys I wouldn't be too worried if this isn't your bag. Hence the different name and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't feature the word "titanfall" anywhere near the branding. Something like this going over well can only be a good thing for Respawn and I trust them at this point.

I don't think this game would have even got as far as potential superbowl ad and flying streamers out for a secret event if it wasn't something special.

Like, where is BFV's BR mode? EA seems to have a lot of faith in respawn which is a good sign at this point in the game. If respawn can deliver two hits for EA in a year imagine what this could allow them to do for Titanfall 3. Imagine Respawn with DICE money. A successful BR game and a simply decent SW property game in one year could get them close.

I am gonna be the glass half full for all of you.

Yeah, the wait times seem to be reasonable, so that's fun. I've only played about 3 attrition maps and 1 defense map and I am 100% hooked. I'm sure y'all know this already but the movement in the game is just the best and the guns are rad, though I'm just as bad with the Wingman as I am in ApeLegs. Is there a goon "network" that anyone uses? I landed in the ADV network but idk whether that really matters.

ADV is the biggest network so that's fine. The reddit one and a couple other streamer communities are decent size. There is a goon one but its mostly dead (at least the one im in).

Biggest advantage of the factions are the happy hour and if its still active you might get a group going with like minded ppl (you hit a button that sends out a party invite to everyone in the faction).

Things every single future shooter should steal from TF2:

- start every match with a dropship/helicopter insertion, play some bad rear end music, have a little pep talk guy and then start the match


Funny the new Modern Warfare kinda does this now. No fun banter but you get a small first person clip of your team showing up via helicopter or truck and getting out. I know a few TF2 devs left Respawn and went back to Infinity Ward after release I wonder if they suggested it lol

I agree with most of your points but Titanfall 2 MP was still great. I think presentation, from the score down to how titans worked was much much better in TF1. There was a sense of scale and storytelling in TF that's almost completely absent from TF2 mp. Rough maps as well. All the best TF2 maps are ported TF1 maps.

Titanfall is cool and good.

Explain networks to a new player and why the advocate network's happy hour is at 3 AM.

Networks are essentially clans. Idk why ADV's is set to 3 AM. It's one of the pre made networks. You can join a bunch at time and switch between them at the network menu. Best use for them outside of Happy Hour is being able to just send mass invites for matches without having to fumble through more clicks and menus.

Having those automated turrets around maps that you could hack was really cool, I dunno why they removed that from TF2 because that combined with being able to hack spectres was awesome, especially the burn card system where you could have an army of them following you around. The main thing for me however was the maps and they were all so good in TF1 but TF2 comparatively had a lot of really bad maps that just weren't fun. I dunno what happened with quality of level design decreasing so much.

All the best TF2 maps are TF1 maps. Great game.

Well good/bad news is they're starting to treat Apex as a platform. At the launch of the most recent season, in eurogamer i think, their lead designer mentioned that if winds change they can pivot to something else. Couple that with dataminers finding code about an arena mode you can read into that what you like.

FWIW I don't think we'll ever get titans in apex but I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up with an arena dm/tdm mode sooner than later. I know they kinda flirted with one last year during their christmas event with the train.

I really liked playing this during the free weekend especially as an apex vet. Using the grapple class made me a lot better at pathfinder too.

Is there a good video guide to the movement tech in this game though? Ive got the grapple hook and wall running down pretty good but Ive seen people b-hopping around in kill cams and I want to know how to do that.

Frothy has some good movement guides:

The bright side is even though they can’t actually address the previous games they haven’t forgotten the universe. If Apex’s popularity wanes or BR really dies off they could switch. Pretty sure they’ve addressed this by saying that maybe Apex could look/play different down the road. We might not get Titanfall 3 but I don’t think we’ve seen the last of Titans.

It's probably absolutely nothing/Respawn just testing things but dataminers did recently find a bunch of Titanfall 2 map info in apex files, some marked with FFA. A bunch of EA marketing items for Apex also changed from calling it a BR to a hero shooter as well. So maybe one day we'll see Pilot v Pilot in a light version one day again.

In Respan's defense too they've repeatedly stated over the last 2 or 3 years of Apex's life that they are willing to pivot and all the limited time modes and tweaks they do are often tests for things down the line. BR isn't totally done yet but I do think it's slowly on it's way out. I do think there's a hunger for a faster, more focused shooter experience that's growing.

Not too many gaming highs as high as pulling an Ace in siege but the map knowledge and pressure of being always on can be a lot. I stopped around when they really started getting kinda goofy with the characters (so 2-3? years ago)

Pushing BH was a bit weird because if getting absolutely shitted on by some no life king going a billion miles per hour wasn't bad enough, now you could get griefed and progress stolen even doing your little bit part for the team. The community being like "why the gently caress is there no attrition" was a right outrage.

Overall TF1 combat > TF2

What? When did they push BH as the ‘core mode’? As long as I’ve been queuing for Titanfall 2 attrition has been by far the most common.

The beta test thing they had the summer before the game shipped didn't have it (it had 3 other modes) and they were very shifty about whether or not it'd be in the full game until like a month or two out from launch.
