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

What

Most of the changes are minimal

R97 can kill a stationary target while burst firing at mid to some what longer ranges

Alternator has always been a viable option

R201 has always been good at mid to longer engagements. It gets pooped on by most SMGs at close range

Tone is virtually the same

Ion, Scorch, and Legion werent touched in ways youre saying. If youre suggesting they're keeping some tweaks a secret...

I am suggesting that Respawn are giving us 85% of the tweaks but not all of them. They themselves said they weren't going to reveal every little detail, although they have gotten more expansive as time has gone on.

Attrition's score limit got reduced from 475 to 450. There's speculation on Reddit that this is because they also fixed a bug that was awarding 20 points for a Titan execution instead of the expected 15 (10 for the Titan + 5 for the pilot).

Huh... maybe that explains it; Although 10 for titan, 5 for pilot and 5 for execution seems good.

They can be vague sure but I doubt they would intentionally leave things out of the patch notes.

Ok tried searching and couldn't find one and I've been on GAF a lot last two days.

Must have missed it


Hopefully this is a good update I've been hankering for more tf2 but tire of online shooters quick after almost 20 years of em

Man, I've really been enjoying the new Livefire mode than I thought I would. Great job Respawn.


But I need MOAR. New Maps for modes like Attrition/Bounty Hunt please :'(.

I believe the thread was posted a week before due to the patch not having a set date, but the patch notes were available on the 17th(?)
 
If you see this Rayme, any chance these two Live Fire maps will be added to PvP? I've already expressed my dislike for Live Fire. But I would actually love it if these two maps were added to PvP.

I'm actually a big fan of Shipment from COD4. Which is why I think I would love these two maps in PvP. I know it will be completely chaotic and not only will kills come fast, but spawn killing will be frequent. But I just want some madness sometimes.

I'm not too hopeful but I gotta ask.

I like the cut'a your jib, RE. Yes; that could be dumb and kinda glorious.

Bought the game yesterday - is there point in leveling weapons past lvl 11 (beyond regenerating) since that seems to unlock everything? Am I missing something?

Live fire is not very good.

This feels like free dlc that is worth about as much as it's cost.

I will play it some more but yikes.

Well after 4 tries they finally let me play meadow and it was a bit better.

It's super boring. Tf is cool when all hell is breaking loose. Counterstrike works bc you have a mouse and teams talking and 20 years of working on perfecting the mode.

This is just throw away tbh

Maybe play with a team. ;) Mode is great for perfecting pilot fundamentals. It also lets me share sweet kraber shots in almost real-time and elimination lends itself to incredibly tense, clutch moments.

Cant, life to busy to be a social gamer anymore.

Sounds like you are having some fun tho, nice
 
The new matchmaking system is really cool! My only major complaint that the time to get into a game (even if you queue for Attrition or something) seems to be way longer, but that seems like something that'll get worked out over time.

I actually got to play LTS tonight! Granted, it was on Crash Site, but it was still great.

Pretty cute,

The 6-4 Pre-drop animation that has no dialog is literally the one they used for the tech-test :)

So is there new dialogue for each faction at the start of the match? I only played a little bit of Live Fire after the patch was released.

I noticed that the French dub of the first faction animation has been slowed down, probably to match the animation. The voice sounds a bit deeper and weird as a consequence.

Yeah, there's a bit of new dialog, but it's kinda weird as it REALLY sounds different due to when it was recorded/played along side the original VA clips :/

Really enjoying Live Fire. I usually finish top three in most other game modes but most of the time I'm pretty terrible in Live Fire, but it hasn't diminished my enjoyment of the mode. Forced me to try a few new loadouts (had never messed with A-WALL prior) which has been neat. Digging the new (?) Coliseum map and loadout too. Tone still feels totally viable and I'm alright with the changes.

Any idea how well this game is doing on PS4? Feels like it should still be doing better than it is, which is kind of a bummer.

I didn't really pay attention to the patch notes.

Did they change movement speed? I know I haven't played in a minute but everything feels so slow like I'm stuck in molasses all of a sudden.

Your FoV got reset, raise it back to what it was before you updated.

Felt as though it encouraged people to take an overwatch over lanes, corners positioned, more than it facilitated 'perfecting pilot fundamentals'.

I only played a few matched but while I did okay just running around, I found myself able to get more than 20 kills and in several matches by sitting atop buildings, holding corridors, and generally anticipating locations.

I felt like Pilot vs Pilot was better, with mobility orientated playstyles more encouraged. Not to sat that you can't do well with anything, but with a G2 I was able to clean shop in live fire with very little effort. I found that really disappointing.

I feel that the maps linearity causes it, not enough flanking routes and whatnot, maps are basically a line, rather than a square, so there's no way to progress around the edges. There's enough players to cover every approach, and I feel that on paper a team that sits back and plays defensively, should always win, provided both teams were equally skilled.
 
Curious to hear why people dislike live fire. I'm liking it a lot more than PvP.

Same it's giving me that same feeling when clutching rounds in search and destroy in cod. I love that adrenaline rush when im all alone against 4-5 enemies and I take them all out to win the round.

I feel like this mode would be really fun in a competitive setting I wish they had more than 2 maps.

I got a few gameplays I rememberd to record yesterday. Went 14-1 in 5 Rounds and then another I went 18-4. I feel like the people who don't seem to like live fire don't know how to utilize the movement.

Anyone elses game keeps locking up in the main menu post-patch? (PS4)

Can't even get past the main menu.

Edit: nevermind, waiting for 5 minutes fixed it. Impatience lol.

Hope this doesn't happen on every boot of the game.

I had this at first after the patch, just sit in the main menu when it's frozen (don't close the game or press anything), it should fix itself after ~3-5 minutes. I haven't had any issues since then.

Questions for those of you getting this (shitty) bug:

#1: does it hang without you doing anything, or does it not hang until you choose to try and enter Multiplayer?

#2: Anyfhing unique about your setup? Is your PS4 running any music apps, do you have a weird PSN account, or etc? Anything you can think of that might be "off", or worth mentioning?

1. It hung without me doing anything. I think it has something to do with the data centers connecting, because I was able to scroll through the menu for about a second or two until the game displayed the data center connection in the bottom left corner. At that point, the background animation completely froze, and I was unable to interact with the menu at all (I couldn't change what I was selecting either, the "cursor" was on the select chapter campaign button, and I couldn't move it down to select multiplayer). I closed and reopened the game, and it did the same thing. I tried fully restarting my console and router, and it did the same thing. So, I let it sit for ~3 minutes, then the screen flickered and everything was back to normal. Since then, I haven't encountered any more freezing when starting up the game.

2. I usually run Spotify in the background when playing without issue, but when I got this bug Titanfall 2 was the only thing that was running. I don't think there were any other patches downloading for other games, but I might have missed that.

Hi, after the patch this is happening to me.
At first for maybe 1-2 seconds I can move through the menus then it completely locks up for a few minutes. The background music plays but you cannot move through the menus at all. Once it comes back it is fine.
If I stop the application running whilst it is frozen I get the blue screen with CE-34878-0 error.
I don't have any unusual options or apps running. I've had my PSN account for many years, there is nothing unusual about it.
Sorry I can't give you any more info.

Unlike the poster above me, mine still does this every time I boot the game up.

Also on a different note, I unlocked a new execution called Curb Check. I assume this isn't released yet. Annoyingly it now permanently tells me I have new customisation in the multiplayer screen but I can't get rid of it because the execution isn't there to look at.

Thanks for the inquiry Rayme. Unfortunately the game keeps (temporarily) locking up on new fresh boots too. So it's not a one-time thing for me (as it is for some others it seems).

To answer the questions: It hangs without doing anything too. The background animation (the fire sparks) just stops after a few seconds and you can't do anything for a few minutes. Same error code as the guy above when you quit application during the freeze.

Not running any background applications. Nothing weird about my psn account as far as I know, My PS4 (non-pro) is activated as primary console. Got the digital version of the game. My Plus ran out a month ago and wanted to get back into some TF2 with the free Plus weekend going on now, but I wouldn't consider that a weird thing for my account.

Join in progress is bullshit seriously, can I have one session without it.

Also, can I stop playing the same 2 maps over and over?

Idgaf if the loss won't appear on the record.
