Completely uninterested in a single-player campaign, but that multiplayer trailer looked great.

Nope, it's all matchmaking.

How does ejecting work this time around? Eject is supposedly bound to the X key on the keyboard, yet everytime I press it while doomed, nothing happens. I've tried mashing, pressing, and holding. Nothing works.

Mash E to eject while doomed. Press X and then mash E to eject any other time.

There's a prompt for it.

Thanks!

What's up with the doomed state this time around? It doesn't seem to do damage over time to you anymore. It almost feels like a second health bar now. Do you take more damage now when doomed?

So to those that have the 2x xp boost from the dew and doritos thing, just so you know:

:siren: It actually doubles you score in game meaning you can easily win any game with it enabled!:siren:

That's right, tf2 is a pay to win (eat/drink to win) game.

People on PC seem to have gotten a LOT better at Titanfall than they were a few months after the original game launched. I used to be able to top the tables in most matches in the first few months of Titanfall being released. Tf2, on the other hand, sees me getting pretty much insta-killed whenever I see an enemy. I barely realise that they're on the screen at all sometimes before I'm dead.

Edit: I guess this might be the people that never stopped playing the original in the intervening years?

I think the cries of DEAD GAME are a bit premature, even on PC. I just got a match for Last Titan Standing, followed by Hardpoint. Only had to queue for LTS for a few seconds before it filled up. That being said, it was loving stupid to release this game this week.

When you enter into matchmaking you can see the current population in your region, and when you select the match type it shows you how many people are currently in the queue.

I can't remember how the time to kill was in TF1. Is TTK much faster this time around? It certainly feels pretty quick.

Gunder
May 22, 2003

Does anyone have a complete understanding of how the Amped Weapons boost works? How much extra damage does it provide exactly? Does it wear off if you don't use it fast enough? Does it only last one clip? One kill? I've tried googling, but no one seems to have hard numbers.

It's pretty difficult to tell how much of a damage difference it makes because the time to kill is so short.

Unfortunately the Smart Pistol is kinda bad for killing other pilots in TF2. It's pretty good for killing AI in Attrition and Bounty Hunt though.

Don't you have to press and HOLD melee on a doomed titan? I think just tapping the button will only do a normal punch.

I wish the end of Ion's execution was cooler. There's not enough graphical report to the burst of gunfire he fires into the titan's cockpit. It looks like he puts the gun in there, leaves it there for a second and then just removes it again. It could do with some energy bolts coming out the back of the titan, like he's shooting all the way through it.

Scorch's flame shield does like 2.5 bars of damage if you get the whole thing on a target, and it blocks any incoming damage :stare:

If you're standing in thermite while he's ramming that shield down your throat, you are deeeeead.

Won't Scorch also be pretty much dead from standing in his own fire too?

Ion seems a little underpowered in the damage department. Her splitter rifle does pretty awful damage unless you use the alt fire mode, and I don't think her other abilities make up for the missing damage.

You are bad at Ion. Laser shot on a titan weakspot does massive damage and you can corner peak with it to completely whittle down titans while taking no damage yourself. It's also an instant kill hit scan weapon so if you get good at twitching you can just destroy anyone any time you can even see half a pixel of a pilot. Also laser core does many damages.

Also I have no idea how to embedd webms

"weakspots" are the red parts that get highlighted when you look at an enemy titan, right? Are they the same thing as a crit? Do you know if Ion's default "get energy back when critting" kit is good?

When you regen as a pilot, do you keep any weapons or weapon mod unlocks? I just want my pimped out Alternator. :smith:

Also, do you get a permanent XP boost from regen like you did in TF1?

The end-game mission where you get to fight along side the other Pilots in the enemy ship, wall running and breaching the windows was really cool. I wish they included more of that in the campaign.

Yeah, I feel like the only person that was pretty underwhelmed by most of the campaign. The last hour was cool, but everything up to that was pretty average.

Given that all the planned DLC map packs and so on are going to be free, I think it's safe to assume that Titanfall 2 will have quite a tail on any platform.

I switched from my R-201 setup to a level 1 Alternator and my kill count doubled in the matter of a game or two. That little gun is such a beast, it's almost unfair.

Yup, it's what makes me top the scoreboard in most games. Can't function without it. I tried going back to the R-201, and came almost last. It's such a different playstyle.

Just tried out the R-97 for run n' gun SMG hip spraying. Not great. Seems to either come down to its low accuracy or low damage, and the high fire rate doesn't make up for those shortcomings when compared to the Alternator.

No way. More people is not always more better. 6v6 is great and means each individual person can make a large contribution, you don't spend a ton of time getting back into the fight, and Titans and stuff don't just get blitzed down immediately by a thousand things shooting at them all at once.

Yeah, I think 6v6 is plenty. Even 8v8 feels way too chaotic. The old PC gaming mantra of more players = better has never been true.

Is there a recommended Pilot class for newbies, or a some hints and tricks?

I started out using Grappling hook, but I find I don't use it as much as I should.

My best success has been popping Cloak whenever I need to cross an open space or start taking fire. Probably not the most effective use?

I see a lot of people using Stim, What's the secret to using it the most effectively?

A lot of people make the mistake of trying to play like it's Call of Duty, ie constantly aiming down the sights before firing etc. Don't do this. Pick one of the SMGs, the CAR is fine, and just shoot from the hip constantly.

I tend to pop Stim when I get into a head to head duel, as it makes hitting you pretty difficult as long as you're strafing around and moving constantly. It's also a handy "Oh poo poo, that Tone saw me" button for escaping those 40mm shots. Also, don't forget that Stim rapidly decreases the amount of time it takes for your health to start to regen, so if you got winged by some pilot, then popping stim to get out the way and get your health back before they round the corner can be helpful for recovering from surprise attacks.
