And that's my other problem. I have to one-up myself, and doing that against my EOL titanfall 1 play is pretty damn hard.

These are about as good as I get. I'm far more familiar with mouse and keybaord inputs, but even then, I would only be half as good as that video you linked.

EDIT: Hey, Titanfall 2 made #5 on last month's NPD!

man i wish ps4 numbers were higher.

Dont have a problem finding a game or anything but Titangaf is dead and i just want to play with a higher pop.

Wish cross mp was a thing

Happy to see it chart, but it feels like the ps4 numbers havent changed much. I assume xbox is doing most sales

People are using the NeoGAF community on PS4, not Titangaf. NeoGAF is never packed, but it's usually 5x more people than Titangaf.

Why not the network. Its so much easier
I started Titangaf on PS4 but there was a server issue at launch that prevent me from seeing requests or accepting them. Some people found the already populated gaf network from the alpha and never bothered getting into titangaf. Then people switch networks to one that matches they're specific needs (happy hour). Yes, I agree though.

I wonder if PC players just don't like arena-style shooters anymore. All the reasons people gave for dropping Titanfall 1 don't apply to Titanfall 2, and yet people are still leaving the game behind a couple months after release.

Probably because the maps are shit, why play a game with some of the worst maps in an FPS when they can play CS GO, Overwatch, Team Fortress 2? That's almost where I am right now. It's a shame because everything else is soo good but it's really let down by the maps, even the best ones are only "OK" by other FPS standards.

So guys, apparently if you block when coming out of Phase Shift with Ronin into someone, you don't die. According to a dude on Reddit. Someone test/confirm?

Is this how you build hype and get montage views? I was obviously doing something wrong with mine >_>

/salt

There's some dope gameplay from other posters that I have here. Been hard to select the best clips, but I think I got them.

I got tricked into playing Until Dawn sadly, so I'm behind schedule.

Yeah that's how it works, it was on the Titanfall mythbusters youtube thingy.

This seems like a bug.

I just found out today that coming out of Phase Shift as a Pilot will kill an enemy that you're overlapping. I always attempted to avoid that thinking I'd die like the Ronin. I managed to kill a Pilot Sentry Turret that way, today.

I'm buying and will be on tomorrow (PS4).
Will be shit at the game tho.

Sweet, so will I!

It's weird to say, but that technical test was probably the biggest blessing and curse possible. It's great that it allowed so many things to be fixed before release, but the perception of the game never really recovered.

I don't get the allure behind Overwatch porn and therefore i don't expect to understand the mentality of the PC gaming population. I may never understand so i won't even try.

So what the hell is this. The other player rage quits in Coliseum because I destroyed him in the first two matches and I dont get an advocate gift for it. What the hell.

Edit: Nevermind I got it. It was delayed for some reason.

I saved both videos though because they were brutal. I might make a Coliseum montage someday
 
But it wasnt same, it was at very start of game when you are in dropship when I went in.
Or you mean REALLY that if I dont finish Crash site it wont put me in slot to other map because I didnt finish Crash site? Source for this info it true.

I don't have a source but trust me I quit too many Crash Site and Complex games to know this.

I think I can die a happy Pilot. Got first place in LTS as Northstar. Got 6 Titan kills.

Not sure if that is me getting better or just a bunch of luck.

It might have something to do with almost being xmas too.
I have not had much time to play for few days now because being so busy with everything.

Should try that trick in other maps than bad maps too then, if 90% of servers are running Crash Site how do you know if its because game tries to find you server with same map or if something is broken and game have high chance to start game with Crash Site?
If you do same test when you get Angel City, leave game, wait a bit, join again and get NEW server with Angel City 2 times in row then I believe.

I can confirm it is the same on other maps. I constantly have high pings when playing without an VPN so I quit all kind of games very often.

Nuclear + Titanfall need to be nerfed badly when doing damage to bounties in bounty hunt.

I honestly don't think so.

I've been thinking about this a lot, and it's the only thing that balances some Titans. It makes the mode interesting too, since there's an actual meta and a real reason to get a Titan.

Without it, Scorch and his Flame Shield or Ion's Core will basically become the meta.

Northstar will have NO way of killing a Bounty in time. Since the Core's are so imbalanced etc. it will mean certain Titans are rubbish for the mode.

The mode is dead regardless, and if they removed it, there goes all the enjoyment in the mode and the only way to carry/make a comeback etc.

Look at this gif.

The only reason why this Ronin player is getting away with so much is because of how the Cash/Bonus split works in this game. He walks away with $600 even though he dies because of the Cash=Bonus from a Titan (if he gets $800 total, he only loses 24% of earnings in the first death).

This means there's an actual reason to time your Titan drops.

If you removed this ability from this these Waves, then there wouldn't be any strategy for less able players to ever come back since the premades will just coordinate in the minion Waves. Since the Minion Waves are worth the same amount, that would be what causes the game to win -- and we all know how they are done... Running a Titan over spawns.

I went from complaining about how there was serious Titan imbalance in Bounty Hunt until realising that this was the meta. Above all, there's a counter for it too, and that's Amped Archer rockets.

It's only Northstar at most who can self-damage enough in the first wave to properly set this sort of thing up, but outside of that, you can time an Archer rocket to kill a suddenly Doomed Titan in one go. I've actually stopped a team from Nuclear ejecting this way and it was H I L A R I O U S.

Respawn nerfing this strategy would force a playstyle that... frankly, they didn't adopt in any of the streams of videos I've seen (like where Forthy played). It becomes this random TDM when for some reason one team wins despite everyone dying on their way to the bank, and no one really knowing why.

Besides, I've played without someone who also claimed it was unbeatable, and I was able to win in that game ~~~ even when THEY shut me down (it was a little laggy, but he could have done it anyway with a coordinated Pilot attack).

I would be super disappointed if they fucked with it. The only thing I would probably change is make it so that the Stryder class Bounty Titans don't die entirely too it. The other classes don't, and that's actually great because you can effectively earn $400 to a Nuclear Ejection's $600 if you Goose them and get the final hit for your Team (and if you punch the Bounty Titan out the way, they don't get the full hits or their Titan back).

Listen to me Respawn. <3

:D

It just should not fill your Titan meter back to 100% and it's fine.

It totally should still give your Titan back if you use it correctly. There are plenty of times where if there's a single other Titan, they do enough damage (with a Core or w/e) that the Bounty Titan won't have enough health to give the Titan back.

Wow, I need to start writing letters to my favorite developers!

Edit - I do think Nuclear Ejection should limit Titan refill to 75%. I think it's insane that I can dash up to a Titan bounty, unload all my ammo into it and surrounding enemy Titans while getting torn to pieces, then eliminate all of them with a massive amount of damage from nuclear ejection and get a fresh new Titan before I hit the ground.

I don't mind the damage it does, but instantly getting a new one after laying waste with the crippled one makes me feel so dirty.

Nothing wrong with it. As I said, if there is an Enemy Titan, they have time to do enough damage to the Bounty Titan that you won't get it back. The only thing they need to change is stopping the Stryder Classes from dying to it outright.

I've beaten TEAMS that know this strategy, effectively carrying.

It's a rewarding part of a game, it's fun to do, it doesn't feel too BS if they do it (because you have the chance to do it better) and removing it would personally make me enjoy the game less.

So far, people are only saying how it feels "too good", which is not a bad feeling. Until there's outrage, and people actually try to stop it and learning the strats to do so, it's an unwanted change from the people who enjoy Bounty Hunt.
