How has Tone been since the patch? I was getting pretty bored with her being The Best Titan.

Is there a way I can practice with my titan in a kind of "offline" mode? Whenever it's available to call down in PvP I'm like

Make a private match and just run around on any attrition map until you get your titan. It's on the 2nd page of match types.

No way, i get easily 2/3 of the kills i go for when i hover, no one expects it. It's also a great way to peek out and hit a titan from a weird place.

I hear that the recent buffs to hover make it a great option now, at least according to YouTube "pros".

Edit: I misunderstood the quoted post and thought they meant Northstar's hover kit option.

To be clear: I was talking about Northstar's hover kit option, not the pilot hover (which I forgot even existed).

Also, re: new matchmaking: every game I get into ATM is a one way stomp.

How is the player population on console? EU PC has you queueing for quite a while if you want to do anything besides Attrition, which is alright because I only ever want to play attrition.

I've noticed that, occasionally, Monarch's health bar won't increase in size horizontally when you upgrade to superior chassis. I hope this is just a UI bug and not the ability itself failing to apply on your third upgrade.

One negative consequence of Frontier Defence is crappy queue times for normal multiplayer and worse quality matches when you eventually do get in. I've seen minutes long waits for attrition, and 4v4 matches.

At what point should you start queueing into Hard in FD? I've unlocked the first 3 upgrades for Legion. Bear in mind, I will be pugging this.

Gunder

It's especially awful when you're playing big butt Legion and have to constantly haul your enormous rear end around the level to kill the mortar titans that none of your Ronin teammates have noticed/give a gently caress about.

May 22, 2003

How do you configure Northstar for FD? Bullet penetration and overcore is what I've been using.

Yeah, make sure you're staying on top of the Reaper population. A few games ago I was holding down the dropship on War Games as Northstar. Every so often a decent chunk of my HP would just vanish without explanation. Eventually, I realised it was being caused by a small army of ticks that were being birthed by 3 Reapers that my team mates were ignoring on the rooftops of some buildings on the other side of the map. One or two ticks don't mean too much to the likes of Legion and Scorch, but boy does it hurt Ronin and Northstar!

I think Titanfall 2 is a much better game than TF1, but I do miss the presentational stuff that people mentioned earlier, from TF1 Attrition.

Questions about the Drill Shot Aegis upgrade for Legion: The description claims that it increases damage when it "penetrates" a target. Does this simply mean "hit", or does it have to go through one target and hit another for it to count towards the damage upgrade? Also, does the damage bonus get reset if your titan dies?

Gunder

If you like the faced paced, movement focused shooting of Titanfall, you might enjoy LawBreakers, the new game from Cliffy B. It feels a lot like old-school Unreal Tournament mixed with Overwatch style character abilities. It's really good. I didn't expect much from it but was very pleasantly surprised by it during the beta. It's pretty cheap too. Only $30/£25.

The comparison is that it's fast. Really fast. No wallrunning or giant robots though. Lots of zero-g bullet ballet though!

Ha, came to this thread to see if anyone in here was playing and how it stacks up. Are there fun quirks to figure out in the movement system like slidehopping and airturning and the like? Is there a grapple? how's the grapple?

There is a lot of movement skill stuff you can do involving the zero-g areas of the maps. They seem to be heavily character specific though as each has their own unique mobility skill. The Assassin has a really killer grapple, it's a ton of fun, better than Titanfall's grapple imo.

This is kind of exciting, as Titanfall 2 was my favourite multiplayer FPS of all time, but the rumoured lack of titans really does harsh my buzz a little.

I kinda assumed that we'd get to play this pretty much immediately, but maybe they want to wait until after Anthem fails.

Yeah because every game you don't like personally is going to fail :rolleyes: . Just like everyone calling this game a failure before they even knew if it was real or just a rumor.

I'm hoping it's playable today.

I think Anthem will fail. I also don't like playing it. The two are distinct positions. I liked LawBreakers a lot but also thought it would fail. It did.

I was pretty lukewarm to decently interested in Lawbreakers but it had the most aggressively stupid advertising campaign and onboarding experience of any recent game release. "ARE YOU HARDCORE ENOUGH FOR THIS?!??!" screams the marketing, and then throw players into the deep end against vets who've been around since the alpha and are utterly whipping their rear end. So of course the answer for the vast majority of people is "no thank you"

I think it also had a pretty tough time because it was a very fast game (for most characters) with an emphasis on movement techniques and abilities. Those sorts of games don't tend to do so well in todays world of slow shooters like PUBG and Call of Duty.

It's that by all reports this has replaced Titanfall 3 at Respawn

This isn't what I've read. What I read is that TF3 has been delayed for graphics reasons. They want to do an engine upgrade/swap. It certainly hasn't been cancelled or replaced.

drat. Well I guess that's that then. Maybe they'll make a TF3 one day.

I imagine this will change. I know the characters are all designed to be part of a team, but solo play is a big part of these games.

Btw Titanfall 2 on PC is still very playable. The player population is small these days, but it’s still perfectly capable of matchmaking you properly. I thought it would be nothing but high skill assassins now, but it’s still very pleasant.

It was interesting to note that, according to Giant Bomb, Respawn started with titans and the other core Titanfall aspects being present in their game, and then removed them later because they were too tricky to balance. I can easily see this being the case.

Gunder
May 22, 2003

Agreed. I don’t really find this game difficult to parse. I do play games like this a lot though.

Also agreed about Battlefield, especially the most recent one.

I like Apex Legends, but I would really like TF3 too. At this point I really don't care/want a single player campaign all that much. Yes, the TF2 one was great, but it's not the main draw for me. I'd be happy with a TF3 that's multiplayer only.
