I can't wait to get home and play this tonight. I bought the map packs just to show my appreciation yesterday.

Some quick impression from first 3 games:
1. Overlook: this map is super easy, enemy Titans only come from the top and the narrow ally in front of the harvester so having a 2/2 split to lock them down is enough, just keep an eye on straggler suicide spectres and have your turrets setup in a way that covers the entire alley to pick off infantry.
2. Haven: if Overlook is 1/5 to 2/5 in difficulty, Haven is 4 even 5, the two narrow alley are nuke titan's heaven and are super hard to lock down, in wave 4 and 5 when you are busy dealing with mortar titans, nuke titans will be a huge pain in the ass to deal with!
3. Swampland: not that hard imo, with no nuke titans all you need is being active on the map and picking off mortar titans, arc titans are scary but being Stryders means they are easy to take down from afar, and there are plenty of room to setup a turrent defense line to pick off stray infantry.
My go to loadout:
Pilot: Smart Pistol for wave 1, then switch to main setup which is Spitfire LMG+Archer, even you are out of a titan, rodeoing is the way to go, plus LMG is good at sustained fire vs hordes of infantry.
Titan: Atlas/Arc Cannon/Smoke (if you have a coordinated team then Partical Wall is better but I want to be able to shake off spectres on my own)/Cluster Missile

I hope not that is what I'm looking forward to in this patch. I need some type of rank system or playlist to really keep me hooked. Advanced warfare gets my purchase on bringing back league play alone.
Whoa, crazy.
Fwiw; you have to be in the same lobby as the person you're inviting to even see them as an option. It sounds like you knew that, but it's worth mentioning for other people anyway.
Respawn have done a fantastic job with the latest update. I've had a brief look through the changes and noticed a bunch of new game-modes that have been added to the game data that Respawn have not revealed yet.
New game-modes:
1) Scavenger
Capture the most ore
Scavenger text:
"Carrying %s1 ore(s). Deliver to your base"
"You are carrying the maximum of %s1 ores. Deliver to your base."
"Need a Titan to pick up Mega Ore!"
"You delivered %s1 ore(s)!"
2) Heist
Steal and protect the data
Heist text:
"You stole the data."
"Your team stole the data."
"Escape to the drop ship."
"The data has been stolen."
"Stop the enemy from escaping."
"Steal the data."
"Protect the data."
3) Capture the Flag Pro
Capture the enemy flag and bring it to the evac ship
Capture the Flag Pro text:
"Escape to the Evac Ship"
"Escort The Flag to The Evac Ship"
"Stop The Flag From Escaping To The Evac Ship"
4) Bodyguard
Take control of the Auto-Titan and bring it home
Bodyguard text:
(Attack) "Take control of the Auto-Titan and bring it home"
(Defend) "Don't let the enemies capture the Auto-Titan"
"Auto-Titan destroyed"

The more I play the defense mode the more I like how it's set up, each map has preset waves and it makes each map feel like a level more then just a random attack of random chosen enemies.
I find mortar titans worse then nuke titans.

It went a bit weird and trying to join someone was giving a no connect (4) error and even had the game softlock with nothing but a deck of burncards on the screen and no controls working, but we all rebooted the game and it worked that time around.

Downloading the update now. Can't wait to jump in!
I hope Izuna hooks me up with a token
since my gang has been gen10 since forever, I still have some beta invites left.
so if you want, add me/msg me and we do it
Update and horde mode is great.
I hope Respawn does another deal of it along with SP in a sequel. Playing TF again I just realize how much I love the look and sounds of everything, just wish there was some SP stuff to capitalize on it.

I agree. My full team made it to the fifth wave and turrets are vital.
I know there are more players playing on that, maybe it is only showing per data center?

Had another 3 player match, either matchmaking stops filling the gap after a few minutes of starting or people quit because they want to go 3-star another map instead.
LTS has the same core group of people, about 20-30 every night. So I'm not even shocked by getting an actual number lower than 50 worldwide.
It's damn shame too, I feel like the game just hit its stride. =/
LOL @ DLC map numbers
Thanks guys - I appreciate the response. It's been too long since I played some TF.

Might jump back in for this new update but before I download 40 odd gb or whatever it is again, have there been any new weapons added since launch? Can see a bunch of new modes and maps but nothing about weapons.
no new weapons

Man Frontier defense could have been huge to have at launch with the game. Sad that I think it's too late now with the dwindling player base. I hope it retains some longevity because its so much fun.

decided to play attrition with 250+ people in my region online, started 1 v 4, me alone against someone bunnyhopping with the smart pistol, a guy cloaking up high with a sniper and two others with titans using arc cannons.
sucks.
*edit* put back into the same lobby twice in a row now.
I think the inclusion of the rank system now stops players from rushing and gunning, you can just feel it in a match.

Frontier defense is a lot of fun. It'd be more fun with good teammates though.

Do the Respawn folk posting in here know when the Australian Azure servers will start getting used for games like Titanfall. Really want that sub 20 ping.

Do Burn Cards like "Grunts & Spectres Ignore You" apply to this Frontier Defense mode?
I used one at the start of the match and got to Wave 5 with some pubs without even dying. Keep in mind I am only slightly above average at this game.
They were all just running right past me but I don't know if that's the Burn Card working or just the dummy AI being dummies.

I do believe so. I used Wifi Virus (auto hacks nearby Spectres) and easily had an army just jumping around their spawn.

Has anyone had any luck with retroactive achievements unlocking? Especially "too legit to quit"
Did all the available dailies yesterday, but achievement didn't pop. So it seems there is a limit to how much you can carry.
Now all of the achievements I have left can all be done on Horde or Attrition, or CTF when I want.
I want to take my 160 hours on that shit Destiny game and return them.
But the fact that the dailies rest at the same time had made me... Completely and utterly, drop Destiny wholly.

Also people are yelling that FD are ruining their K/D.
NO, it won't affect your overall K/D vs players AT ALL, because even you die a million times, you are not being killed by PLAYERS, your kill and death count vs players remains the same.

That isn't true isn't it? Either way CTF and LTS ruin KD. KD means fuck all unless the only modes you play are Pilot Hunter and 8v8
SmartWaffles

CTF and LTS ruin your K/D because you die vs players, and your death count vs players increases, while in FD you simply don't die vs players so your kill and death count vs players remain the same, only your last 10 games stats will be a flat line because it's all 0/0.
With 4 people, the difficulty is perfect, but there needs to be more aggressive difficulty scaling for when people drop.
2/4 should be more possible. And playing public makes 3/4 unlikely to pass since there isn't much communication.
That being said, having 350 score on the last wave, and everyone else is around 50 or so is very annoying.
I wish I could solo, but I get to about 3/5 or 4/5 before the Mortar Titans make it impossible.

I had two 3 player situations today and it's actually playable, at least on easier maps like Overlook, 2 player will very likely to suffer on later waves tho.
Diablohead
Member
I think that 3 players work fine if they all do their job, more often then not I see people just stand at the generator and shoot, this isn't too bad for killing grunts but I always feel like i'm the only one going after titans before they bumrush us.

I had someone drop out of horde earlier and the game says on the screen that it's balancing the difficulty so it's doing something, i'm guessing AI does less damage to the core maybe.
Really want to 3-star all the regular maps before halo is released, so far I have... two, and have yet to even see angel city appear in quick match.

Soooo, anybody else feel like a Gundam pilot with the Japanese Titan OS voice on?
I'm not sure why, but this was the thing I didn't know I wanted most from Titanfall.

I'm enjoying the horde mode so far. Played a bunch on Xbox last night but couldn't get any friends to join in. The matches felt really lonely with no one communicating and I ended up redoing a number of the same maps. Despite the lack of comms from people I don't think I was in any losing sessions.
I played some Frontier Defense last night. That is a blast. I love popping the suicide spectres.
One thing I noticed. I don't know if it is a bug or if I don't understand, but I wasn't getting credit for the games we won on the challenges. I think it is the first one on the Frontier Defense challenge list and it is for winning games of FD. We won everyone of them that we played, but I didn't see any credit. Do you have to get three stars to have it count towards the challenge?
