My favorite game modes were Last Titan Standing and Pilot Hunter (not to be confused with Pilot Skirmish). I hated Marked for Death. Mostly for the reason that it highlighted your position to everyone. Frontier Defense was super cool too because it could get so manic. Especially when an entire wave was nothing but Nuke Titans.

I wonder if Attrition is gone because it required a lot of AI computations. I remember something about Titanfall using a bunch of Microsoft servers to offload all of its AI pathing and whatnot. If a game mode was largely AI dependent like Attrition or Frontier Defense, it may have gotten cut because Respawn doesn't have an equivalent solution for the AI.

That's what I was wondering too and that was what I asked the lead engineer on Twitter, his reply was "simply a design decision" but who knows, there could be some truth to the server thing.

Shoulder Laser, Vortex Shield and alternate fire (ADS fire) on Splitter Rifle drains energy, hipfiring however does not. In the tech test I rarely used the alternate fire in Titan fights, mostly used Laser shots and in between charges dumped with primary fire. Laser shots for pilots too, the alternate fire is good against pilots but drains too much energy.

It's nothing really too complicated, basically everything comes at a cost to your overall energy.

Also :siren: the smart pistol is no longer a load out weapon, its a score steak thing like amped weapons now. Rip smart pistol, you were too beautiful for this world :qq:

Oh wow, where'd you see that? They've said they were going to find a way to balance it, I guess this is their solution. I don't really get the hate for it, it was never really OP except for farming grunts. If I was killed by it most of the time it was usually someone that could have easily killed me with a CAR or a shotgun.

Changes to the Smart Pistol:
It's a Boost (instead of of loadout choice)
Replaces your secondary weapon when used
Limited Ammo
Directional locking indicator displayed to Pilots you are locking on to

That seems like a SIGNIFICANT nerf. Seems a bit too far.

I would be fine with this. However, I do have some doubts about how well Last Titan Standing will work when the Titans don't have a shield. I'd have to play it myself to know for sure.

This video has a match of LTS. It looks like Titans don't start with shields just like the Tech Test, but there seem to be some Battery pickups in the middle of the map.

They've made considerable amount of changes since the Tech Test, taking in pretty much ALL feedback. Recent gameplay clips looks to be really improved and refined than what was essentially a build from Mid-June.

Played through the campaign last night since it couldn't matchmake enough people to play a match. Took around 5-6 hours, overall a really solid campaign that does more than a standard fps shooter with platforming puzzles, over the top Metal Gear Solid-esque Boss characters, and a lot of moments that make you feel like a badass, especially one section late in the game. :rock:

They also introduce a really cool ability that you don't really expect in a few levels early on, but drops it maybe a little too soon. They could have made a whole game based on this ability.


also BT-7274 is :allears:

Been running through Singleplayer and it's really fun, looks drat good too but I'm seemingly halfway through about an hour in. I'm also playing on Master difficulty while looking for the helmets. drat.

Worth a replay at least?

I played through it on Hard, will probably play through it again on Master and try to go for all the collectibles. It's a fun campaign but I'm not sure how much I'm gonna want to replay it when I know I could be dropping titans in multiplayer.

There are a lot of standout moments I might replay or something here and there, there's one section in particular involving a game mechanic that I didn't know was in the game was super fun to play through.


e: edited out the spoiler, I really think it's something worth playing through not knowing about it.

Finally got a sub 33.60 second run on the gauntlet and got my achievement. Now to never run the gauntlet again. Had to edit two runs together to make the video though since recording more than 25 seconds on xbone is difficult. That's why the first ghost is waaay faster. (I also didn't want to scrub through the 8 million failed attempts.)

Speaking of the campaign, it'd be cool if they made a Titan that used the Brute's rocket launcher or the Burst core. Feels weird to not have them represented in multiplayer. I mean obviously the homing rockets are too strong for multiplayer but their primary weapons and cores aren't overpowered really.

Yeah all the original Titan weapons are in the campaign, fully remodeled/reskinned. Would be nice to see a Chaingun or Quad Rocket titan in MP.

For the most part been using Ion and it's hard to pry myself away from her. You're never supposed to ADS with the splitter rifle as it drains your energy for what is basically it's main weapon, the Laser Shot. Gooser kills are extremely easy with it, whenever I hear an enemy titan going off I watch the skies and I'm sometimes able to even get a pilot from across the map. The hit box for pilots with it is a little generous, although it does feel a bit finer tuned since the tech test. When you run into pilots with your Ion, focus on aiming at them with your laser shot instead of using the splitter rifle, you might score a kill with it here and there but the laser shot is much more deadly when used right. Also lol, yeah trip wire mines are kind of useless as it also takes away energy.



also for a good laugh, use the laser core on pilots if there aren't any titans around to use it on.

I hope they do something about legion and tone, they really are streets ahead of the rest of the Titans.


Yeah I have a lot of trouble going up against a legion, his gun shield makes it hard to hit and whenever I step out of cover to take a quick shot at him he melts away my health. If anything I don't think he should have as much health but I dunno. :shrug:

Who would choose the voice line "We got a way out of this one BT?" Instead of "Don't Worry BT. I'm not going anywhere." Who the gently caress wouldn't comfort BT during this time of great tribulation?! Literally 1 out of the 8 videos I watched comforted their Titan Friend :(

Monsters. :mad:

It's also a good callback to one of the of the first dialog options when gathering the batteries in the first level. It's naturally the canonical choice.
