Phew, I've read this thread from start to finish over the past week or so. Really enjoying this game and bought it on a whim because giant robots. I'm currently having a lot of fun with the Volt and stim basically running full bore around everywhere murdering people with pew pew lasers. I've noticed pilot vs pilot on Angel City turns into a rooftop campfest which is p.boring. I started off playing Ion who I got used to once I realised that laser = op then switched to play Northstar because railgun and then Tone mainly because he didn't seem to have any real weaknesses. I need to give Scorch a proper go now though, I feel like bouncing barrels of explosive around should be pretty fun. Also how many PS4 players are there in the UK in here?

I played a few games with Scorch last night after reading the tips here in this thread and I wrecked a whole bunch of people. I feel like he needs the dash to get out of trouble when hurling barrels at a group of titans, personally.

I've managed to convince at least 3 friends to buy this game. I am happy. Now to teach them all how to play properly.

Well, son, let me tell you a story
|
I'm sad that I couldn't get video because my PS4 decided it wasn't interested in recording more than a 2 second one but last night I was in the zone on a good few matches. Bounty hunt on Boom Town I spent the match running around clearing up the other team like a man possessed, ricocheting off walls like a ninja on a Red Bull enema. Another match on Homestead I got my Tone early (I usually main Scorch these days but he's not great on this map) and spent the next 10 minutes just destroying the other team's pilots, toying with them to the point where they seemed to single me out while my team was cleaning house on the objectives. I spent a while just strafing one guy's attempts to hit me with the Archer and then popped him with the 40mm. He eventually got a Titan and came at me, he wasn't the best Ronin player So I shot him to pieces, he ejected and then tried to land on me from above so I hit melee and my Tone hit him with a right cross and he exploded satisfyingly. When you're on fire in the game it's just wonderful and I'm finding out where Scorch is effective, basically forcing the other team to avoid certain areas on maps like Dry Dock by getting in there first.

The problem with Overwatch is it's really loving boring to play, slow and none of the weapons feel like they do anything other than plink numbers off enemies until they fall down. There's many games I don't really understand the love for but Overwatch is top of the list in the 'why even bother?' stakes.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:If they want to solve the Attrition problem they need to allow people to queue for multiple modes at once. This allows people to say "anything BUT Attrition" or "Attrition + CTF" or whatever combo they might want. Instead everyone just plays Attrition because it's the guaranteed way to get a game. I play mixtape purely because I figure it'd give me the largest pool of idiots to play with. I'd be cool if I could drop pilots vs pilots out of that list though because I want to play with giant robots at some point in a match you god drat assholes.

Everyone's talking about new stuff and I'm sat here with a huge poo poo-eating grin on my face because I've just finished a game where I got 3 titan kills off a titanfall. I've been playing for about 20 minutes but it's not getting any better than that tonight so I might as well quit now.

Ineffiable posted:I haven't used thunderball. How much meter does it give you per hit? It's better to 'skim' it past titans but amount per skim really varies on distance from titans and amount of titans. When I've been paying attention it can be anything from 4% to 25+% per shot if there's a couple of titans stood fairly close. It can get you a titan of your own real quick and because the projectile is fairly slow it's harder for enemy titans to locate you if you're at a distance as by the time it hits you can be elsewhere with relative ease.

5 way properly fucks up titans at close range which is great because Ion doesn't really have any real way of doing damage up close. She seems to me like a longer range plinker with the laser, Ronins will try and gently caress you up at close range which is where the 5 way comes in realllllllllll handy.

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:Yeah it is. I've said it 10x in this thread I really wouldn't mind a nerf or at least buffing the others. Extra boost is chill tho If anything I've noticed I seem to be getting a lot less melee executions on doomed titans recently. I can be all up in their face (I play as Scorch mostly so I usually am with my flame shield out) and doom them but 9/10 when I hit melee it'll miss whereas other people seem to be able to casually stroll up to me and from a mile away get the execution. What's the deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal?

I've been trying out other titans recently, Scorch is my main and I very much enjoy sneaking up behind people who are distracted by my team, hurling canisters at their feet and igniting them. SO MANY TIMES they just panic as they get hosed from front to back yet rarely does anyone actually y'know, get out of the burning hot fire... Tone obv is the man on certain maps too and I've played a reasonable amount of Ion. I've played some Legion and while pumping a billion rounds into stuff can be fun he's not my bag at all. Northstar I cannot grasp how to use effectively yet but Ronin is hilariously fun despite being made of cardboard. I won't pretend I'm any good with him yet but I managed to cause some trouble with him, confusing the piss out of people and using his speed to dart around all over the place, he can cover ground so so quickly to get up in your poo poo. I love this game.

That video explains why I seem to die when I'm well behind cover on my screen and not at all on the killcam. Hope something gets done because it's real annoying. Also Legion's charge shot is pretty great, it's the one thing I use whenever possible with him.

Played a game of LTS last night and over the course of the 3 rounds we played each person switched to Scorch. We started off with 2 and then each round added a Scorch from someone else, turns out an entire team of fire is p.deece Also I managed to nuke 3 titans as Ronin last night which was very satisfying. I hate nuke eject and it's rare I use it because it seems almost cunty to do so and last night kinda proves it is.

Ularg posted:Block power shots from Legion, shotgun volleys from Ronin, Fully or mostly charged shots or cluster missiles from Northstar, nothing from scorch (just gently caress him up). Ronins are my favourite meal as a Scorch player, they have to get up in your face and have as much armour as a pilot does. You simply hold your shield and melt their face. lol@u if you don't take the perk which extends your flame shield, that poo poo's risky. #meltaronin247 Geight posted:I love when Ronins try to just gently caress me up as Scorch and they melt to my Inferno Shield.

Just played a game of LTS with a Ronin that didn't stop boosting everywhere, at least 6 in a row one after the other... Any ideas? Seems just a little suspect to me. I'm aware you can have 3 but dude seemingly had infinite and still only barely won PSN of proud dicklord: savant313

How does the system choose maps etc anyway? I used to see a fair bit of Angel City for various modes but now it's getting rarer on mixtape. I do however see pilots vs pilots on Crash Site many times an evening so I quite out, wait a while aaaaaaand it still tries to put me in a pilot vs pilot on Crash Site, just a different match. I got my first game of CTF on Exoplanet the other day. poo poo map for it seeing as the distance between the flags is about 120m.

Or press on what I think is droppable space but nope and whatever algorithm they use to calculate the closest area is on the other side of a warzone. I've done this more than a few times  *finally gets to titan and witnesses it being plinked down to nothing*

Actually speaking of hacking I saw something weird the other night whilst playing LTS. A guy on my team got hosed, ejected and then on the way down was firing his charge rifle far quicker than I've ever been able to. He was pulling out maybe 2/3 shots a second, consequently the titan he was shooting at died and his was the winning kill which is why we got to see. Anyone else seen similar or is it some weird server/lag burp?

Wowporn posted:Man I clean up on homestead with Northstar, stand way back in the trees with threat optics and just don't let anyone get close to you I recently tried this on Bounty hunt and survived a remarkably long time each time I dropped a titan. Northstar can be an absolute twat for other titans to deal with at long range. Also electric smoke plus threat scope adds a little bit more dickery to her long range game, pity it only lasts a few seconds.

This is kinda why I miss proximity chat like the golden days of Halo 2 online. I was playing CTF with a bunch of friends on Blood Gulch and creeping around the enemy base when one of said idiot friends decided to play Yakkety Sax really loudly through his mic. The confused voices from the other team were hilarious and we managed to grab the flag and escape in the Warthog sat underneath the base, I was crying all the way back whilst getting tagged with bullets from the other team giving chase. Amazingly we captured it, the rage was delicious.

I can't use grapple for poo poo. Also the one thing I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE about this game is when you kill the same dude 3 times within a minute (just because he's there) and makes it his life's work to come after you and only you for the rest of the match. That's cool bud, I'll just keep taking the kills. I killed him about 10 times in a row before he managed to roll deep with his other team members to take me down. People get real angry about Northstar on Homestead

I need to get used to live fire, the larger of the two maps which HUUUUUUUGE amounts of vertical doesn't actually get used vertically from what I've seen so far. One end when you bear left from the start has a dead end up top where you can wall run forever and just rain grenadier death down on fools because no fucker looks directly up. Also the Daft Punk banner you get in that mode is rad. I just had a game of LTS with my whole team going Ion... Amazing.
