TITANFALL 2 |G2.1| "Whatever The Fuck That Means"

Jesus those leaked pvp modes sound terrible. Whyyy.

A 2v2 mode with a bleedout mechanic sounds like trash.

Its like they want to make two different MP games.

RAID sounds great if titans are involved. Sounds like Sabotage from cod4. I wish theyd add that in like now because all I really play is Bounty Hunt and Attirition and those modes are similar



Harpdoint feels like junk because of the changes they made to it and ctf is sadly unplayed

I just don't get it. Adding more and more game modes doesn't help the game imho.

live fire is alright
new coliseum map is fun
love being able to turn off the film grain
the patch notes in general are great for the most part, just not sure why it took months to happen

not to be a downer but was hoping this new mixtape playlist thing would make playing anything but attrition easier but its seems to be having the opposite effect.
its killing everything not popular off, and at the rate these patches come out, probably for good.

maybe respawn should seriously consider going freetoplay. focus on making maps. cosmetics to sell. the core gameplay is fun, it just needs more
also put the game on steam
 
Hmmm, can't say the new mode does much for me, personally it's like a mode that does its best to steer clear from what I like about the game.
 
Wouldn't it be great if Relic and Colony dropped at the same time? And with it a playlist called "Classics" that included them? And War Games and Lagoon whenever they get around to it.


Respawn, what do you have against War Games and Lagoon? And Swampland?

Wouldn't it be great if they brought back the card system and deleted boosts and a-wall?

I was really hoping that the multi-playlist would work better than just randomly picking one of the modes you selecting and matchmaking you only for that mode. It matched me up in a Bounty Hunt game, and took 2-3 minutes to find a game.

Scorch tortoise nose art has been scaled down ? It's true the tortoise head was hard to see, but I liked how the shell fitted the titan hull.
Anyway, I took it as an excuse to switch to the grinning nose art. The designs that give silly faces to titans are definitely the best. ^_^

Subete no aware
I haven't played yet and as Tone/Ronin main, is Tone nerfed into the ground?
Played a few and other than it being harder to snipe pilots sometimes, it still seems mostly the same.

I just tried a match of Colosseum for kicks and jeez, the Wingman Elite is basically a smart pistol with the way autoaim just targets a player's head for you. I can see why people use it normally.

6-4 apparently now doesn't say anything in the dropship before a match... she just makes head movement like she's talking, but doesn't actually say anything.

Live Fire is somehow less enjoyable than expected and I expected it to be fucking garbage. Not worth any amount of XP bonus.

Queued up for attrition only in my mixtape. Second game is camped hardpoint.

OMFG!!!!!

Dear Respawn,

PS: My current Pilot control setup now

L2 - Aim
R2 - Fire
L1 - Jump
R1 - Slide
X - Melee
O - ....well nothing
L3 - Tactical
R3 - Ordinance
 
Live fire is really fun for me but I love search and destroy in cod. It's amazing to me how many people don't know how to slide hop and air strafe that's like the best part of Titanfall
 
WAIT they are bringing back the R-101x Carbine?

oh my god yes, first the film grain slider now possibly that? Best update/future update ever




....only half kidding don't worry guys. I understand the frustration with more PvP modes possibly being added, Live Fire just seems okish to me. Even as someone who enjoys just PvP combat, I don't think the mode works very well. At least in normal PvP the maps are normal ones and you see more actual Titanfall traversal happening. Even in my first two matches there were a lot of people barely moving. Those possible other ones being added don't sound interesting to me though, especially the one with revives.

The Co-Op mode sounds like it will be at least alright, maybe not as good as original frontier defense though.

are they considering bringing it in 2?
 
I didn't think they would have that many maps in the pipeline. Why not do a proper roadmap with levels and Titans with other content TBA? People like pictures with dates

Maybe they'll put one up before colony drops?

But hell, I'm just happy they're making new maps. I was worried the team might've been too busy with the Star Wars gam, but nice to know new content is still lined up for TF2.
 
If there is one sequel that works by simply copying the first game, it is Titanfall, because that game's potential did not materialize enough to warrant drastic changes.

Yup and free :)

Gonna try Live-Fire tonight. Had no luck getting games this morning...

Seriously tho, Respawn did the lord's work by adding COMPLETELY CUSTOMIZABLE CONTROLS!

Yeah, sadly this patch isn't the lifesaver we hoped for. The mixtape changes were implemented in the laziest way possible. Instead of matching players together then randomly picking a gametype, it picks a gametype then searches for players who are also searching that same gametype. It's just as bad as the previous matchmaking process.

oh yeah, i stopped capping my PC version at 60fps because of the vortex shield fix
and i notice it a lot, everything feels so much smoother.

so i'm not sure whether it's that or the performance optimizations in the PC version of the patch
but regardless i'm really happy with what they have done with this patch performance-wise
 
Hemlok being nerfed on PC makes me so sad. The gun is just dog poop now, and it was already harder to use than 99% of guns on PC. Oh well. I'd use the Flatline but the spread is so laughably inconsistent. Guess I'll just run an SMG.

I just hope all the PvP centric modes are just internal prototypes that never made out of testing. Because Live Fire isn't fun at all.

Yup. I'm really not enjoying it. Disregarding the problems most people have, my personal issue, is that it takes me time to warm up. I usually die a lot at the start of a match in PvP or attrition, then I start dominating mid and late game (even without titans).

In LF, I just die immediately, and that's it. I don't get to warm up. I die to a random grenade. I don't warm up. Non-respawning game types just aren't for me.
 
Just played some Live Fire and I pretty much have no desire to play it again or play it much after tonight. I do like PvP but I've never been a fan of the 1 death no respawn modes/games in the past and this did nothing to change my mind. After a few rounds of charging in and dying quickly I played more defensively and it just became a bore after that. I was too scared to move and just kept peeking around corners and such. And most players were doing the same thing. I'll just stick to PvP for my non-Titan fix.

And my goodness, I have to say my biggest gripe lately is how is Titan kills are decided. And I still can't figure how it is decided. I've had way too many experiences where I did all the damage and was there to the very end shooting the guy until his Titan was destroyed or he nuke ejected and didn't get credit for it. I can let it go if I did all the damage but somebody else gets the execution, but I was there from the beginning till the very end and all it takes is one bullet to get the final blow from somebody else to get all the credit? I've been on the other side many times. And it's cool, don't credit me for stealing someone else's kill. Just give me mine when I worked for it.

Live Fire is pretty cool, probably needs another map or 2.

Mixtape Matchmaking is fucking trash because there is no Skirmish option.
