PC Titanfall 2 feels very... I dunno, like, I feel like the netcode may be different or something? I haven't had any in-phase deaths and I can "see" the damage my weapons do.

Maybe Xbox Titanfall 2 just runs poorly or something.

PC netcode is super bad too.

It's uncommon but I've seen people up there. Usually I just kill them with Ion's laser.

PC players are hilarious!

Vipu, while you were away, I went into a random Attrition match. When we were 150 points down, some dude said "gg".

lmao, one nuke eject after another, didn't die a single time etc. after. Like, shut the hell up man...

~~~~~~~

I dunno why, but Ronin feels super strong on PC. On console I cannot ever beat a Tone or Legion without trading but on PC it feels much better. ~~ and my weapons don't feel like they miss or I get killed in Phase all the time. I dunno if this is just random, or the Surface Book screen >>> this crappy Gaming TN I have, but it's SO much easier on PC.

It's strange but, even though the ping is the same number (and I get a lot of hitching), it just feels great. I should probably start using a m+kb at some point though

Okay. I get the Alternator now. That's a sweet gun.

It's so beast for wallrunning and mobility.

 

[Rice-Eater]

I actually just started using the Alternator as well yesterday night and I really like it. I still ADS pretty often at further ranges because it's just something I have to do but man it's a beast in close quarters. I rarely lost the exchanges unless I flat out missed.

 

[SwolBro]

I still hate slide-hopping, actually ;/

maybe cuz you're clawing? it's so seamless on the elite with the two paddles on the back that it's actually much easier to go fast and execute perfect slide hops than it ever was doing god tier bunny hops on Titanfall 1.

[The Antitype]

I swear I just spent what felt like an entire match going 1-on-2 and 1-on-3 with other teams Titans despite our team having the same number or more Titans pretty much at all times. I have no idea what the hell my teammates were doing...lol

Got a bunch og cool clips of Titan double kills though.

 

[Durden77]

Man it really sucks that there's people out there that think this is just for XB1. It's had to have affected it's sales.

I just told my friend to get it and he said I don't have an XB1. Once I told him it was on PS4 and that he was a dummy he's buying it now.

 

[Drifters]

I can't seem to do well in Angel City even though I like the map.

I can go from a match having 20+ kills then Angel City pops up and I can barely get 5 kills

Roof tops and run in circles. I'm not joking.

That's all it does.

It shaves time off the entrance animation, which means your Titan takes less damage while you're getting in if you're in the middle of the shit. You can get as much as a full bar or more chewed off if somebody catches you while you're getting in a Titan the standard way.

It's great in LTS and if you like cheesing Ion's laser.

Can you or anybody give me advice on slide hopping. I think I got the actual air strafe and hopping part down. What I can't seem to do is turn. Basically I'm going in one direction but when I want to turn, my head turns but my body is still heading in the same direction I was in before. I'm sure you guys get what I'm saying, but it basically looks like this just in case.

That was two times I wanted to turn right a little but couldn't because I still have no idea how I'm suppose to. I feel like I'm asking a dumb question but I guess I need a more thorough answer. I've watched the videos on slide hopping and it seems like I'm doing it right, but obviously I'm not.

How do you do that?

Sometimes pulse blade is alright. Got a mega kill with a g2 double, used mgl for the triple, and finished with a long range pulse blade. Unfortunately I was sniped in the head after I let go of the pulse blade lol.

18k is global, playlist numbers are for a specific datacenter. Honestly I wished they made the playlist number how many players are searching in that playlist rather than how many are playing since that's the count that matters.

Yes, I know it's easy. I dislike how it looks. Seeing good movement from the original (and attempting) is far more satisfying.

I'm sure at least someone else knows what I mean, haha

.

With air-strafing...

When you're not wall-running, don't hold forward on your controller. You want to strafe the direction you want to turn (but don't turn too fast).

If you were on a m+kb, you would let go of W(up) and only hold A(left) or D(right). You don't need to hold up if you have any momentum.

You can practise better air-turning without any slide-hopping. Just jump on some box and try to turn as much as possible like this. Then implement that into your movement.

It seems like you're only turning your right stick instead of both jointly together. when you slide hope straight it doesn't matter what you do with your left stick as long as you don't hold forward. I tend to rotate my left stick from left to right when going really fast in a straight line. you must delicately turn the right stick to guide you in the direction you want to go. if it's a straight line then you wouldn't be moving the right stick much unless to hop around an object. this has to be done gently, subtle touches to the thumbstick. don't be too aggressive or you'll lose momentum. To go around a corner slide hopping you must turn both the right and left stick in the direction you want to go. Remember, the right would be gentle subtle movements unless you're really booking it and have to make more aggressive turns.

There is, actually. Probably an Acer one.

If you want to draw on your panel cover be my guest lol, but I take no responsibility for it. It isn't a CRT where it's just glass you can clean with window cleaners.

On PC there are a crap ton of overlays you can use instead.

It seems like you're only turning your right stick instead of both jointly together. when you slide hope straight it doesn't matter what you do with your left stick as long as you don't hold forward.

What I'm doing is holding my left stick directly left and I try using my right stick to turn. I think that's what I remember from watching Sage or Frothy's video about it. I went into a private lobby to try again. This time I tried doing it by using both sticks to turn in the direction I wanted and it was working.

I don't know why I never thought to try that before. I just remember being told that I can hold my left stick in any direction I wanted and my right stick to turn. It's just incredibly hard for me to do since it feels like I'm starting all over again. I don't have the muscle memory for a simple right turn on my left stick so it feels very awkward. But at least that problem is solved now.

Well you can, you can air strafe left and still turn right with the right analogue stick and it does work, it's just that you won't turn as significantly because every hop while air strafing will pull you towards the other direction a little.

But yeah it is better once you get into the habbit of air strafing in the direction that you want to go.

One thing we all ate serious crow on was the movement huh. Remember when everyone was going crazy? Lol

My wall bounces/slide hops are so insanely fast flag running in pubs is downright unfair .

It's too bad majority of the player base will never experience this aspect of the game which to me is the number 1 thing that separates it from other shooters.

The elite should start coming standard with all Xbox ones. It makes the movement effortless

If you pair it with amped damage it's basically a G2 at range and a laser up close. Just graze them with your cross hair and they'll go down.

For some reason I´m doing pretty good although I never use my titan and I don´t know the maps and find me searching for the action often.

“I love doing videos, and I think I can convince more of the team to get involved, so it’s not just me,” Brode wrote on Reddit, having explained that he makes many Hearthstone videos alone—in his own home, no less. “Not everyone is as excited about being a public face as [senior producer] Yong [Woo] and I are, though—there is a lot of harassment that comes with being more public.”

A moderator of the popular Hearthpwn community named Fluxflashor summed up what needs to happen now (via PCGamesN): “Although you may not agree with certain philosophies that the team may have about the game, it is important to post with respect and stay constructive. We should be welcoming communication first and foremost, so let’s make that more of a priority this year and not feed those who want to cast plagues upon the creators. On the moderation side we can only do so much since we’re only one site of many within the community, but as a whole, we need to stop letting the really toxic posts stew.”

PC is on average easier than Xbox. It has stronger players more frequently, but when they're not strong, they're weaker.

Maybe it's just the EU region. When I played with didact there were killers in certain modes, but Attrition and especially Bounty Hunt is like free weekend easy.

I really don't think aim/movements makes the difference as it did in the original. Original Titanfall, in Attrition, I'd almost never get MVP whereas I almost always did on Xbox, so there was a difference there.

I dunno, sample size is too small.

I really don't understand why PC is so much more responsive... Hmm.

Fuck I mean, Ronin is super powerful on PC... I'm not trading in fights I feel like I should win.

Thank you to those that played with me last nice, specially Jeff

I'm just starting to get a hold of the game

Quick question, does this game follow a specific spawn system? I'm very used to cod, and I feel like I never know where anyone comes from. Feels random? Or maybe I'm not used to it

All new maps and titans are free, there are some cosmetics that you can buy (extremely reasonably priced compared to other games) to support the devs if you like.

From what I've noticed, you always spawn as close to your team as possible, which can be nice sometimes, but can also lead to you being shot as you spawn. If you can funnel the enemy into one corner of the map, they'll keep spawning there until some of them get away or your team moves in to close range.

That's ridiculous

The worst part is that they didn't hit their designated targets, most of them blew up the Northstar instead because she blocked them. You can get a bunch of locks on some Reapers, and aim your shots so they fuck up a Titan in their way.

Oh, and 3 targets worth = Salvo Core...
