Do you not enjoy getting instantly murdered by people half a dozen feet to your right and in mid air a 10 feet above you? Weird.

Wrong way, I feel. The issue I have is the range/damage/accuracy when you're full speed. Its effective range should be close-mid range when fully ramped up. ADS should be damn near useless at this state.

Hey why dont u guys play CTF?
And hey Skirmish is really fun.
And hey Skirmish is really fun.
I dont usually because its very team based and I only play solo or with one other person.
Duh.
Wow, that was fast. Can they do all the weapons balancing server side now? That would be great, although I'd say they're just about there anyway in terms of pilot weapon balance. If they add new stuff to the game, that would be handy though.
Strongly agree. If it's gonna be 1 death rounds, they should get rid of Boosts, etc.
If they want to keep Boosts and make everything crazy, they should enable respawns.
And wha-- Izuna was banned again? It's like a probability thing with that guy. After a certain post threshold, he's bound to say something unsavoury, haha.
Since the update I've finally been able to play LTS (the new Mixtape/matchmaking rocks) and I absolutely love it. Got to Gen3 last night and Northstar to Gen2 (first Titan to do so). I don't have a great deal of time to play these days, but this is the first multiplayer shooter where I feel motivated to get better, and "prestiging" is satisfying.
Here's a little Northstar spree that I had at one point. (Ended up losing because I was having too much fun and not paying attention to the flags xD)

I never really gave it a chance but the additional players makes everything super chaotic

On an unrelated note, Northstar is the ugliest Titan in the game. Can't wait to replace it with Prime Northstar.

Skirmish is a dumpster fire.
Good games guys! Always fun to play in a Gaf group when I have the chance.

Okay
Maybe Legion did get a slight buff. I need to play more with the extra ammo perk but maybe. Maybe.
Respawn, confirm or deny
GGs!

So, interesting thing...
This was legitimately the very first time I've EVER played Skirmish...
...
Genuinely surprised how it went!
Thanks if you actually take the time to watch the match

Hit 10.50 and I guess that's it. lol
I never expected to play this much, but I think that I can just stop and take a breather for a while until maybe the co-op mode drops.

More titans and more titan only modes please. LTS is the best game mode I've ever played. Love the strategy and skill, only negative is one melee hit is an auto kill on a doomed titan

LTS as next featured mode please.
I agree. Don't change it only over the damage but range/recoil in full mode. It's an lmg so it should be packing a punch but not be accurate like mounted on tripod from across the map.
Well, weapon balance is probably not a favorite task as a fps dev and not easy either.
Tone is definitely balanced. We ran some private matches and it's for sure no where near as lethal. It will remain being the Titan with the lowest barrier to entry but that doesn't make it OP. Going in soloq for most modes i'd opt for Ion or Ronin way before i would Tone.
edit:
Skirmish is terrible. why one earth do you guys want to play this mode? Also, until they fix the aim-assist, or size of pilot hitboxes every gun will continue to piss everyone off, even the devotion. There's no escaping death in this game, the opponent has to be really really awful in order for you to out strafe or out maneuver their shots. It's impossible. Why Respawn thought pulling the game in-line with COD TTK is beyond my comprehension. Truly.
On console it's an abomination and i don't see how the game will have longevity like this. I really don't. The whole point of a FPS is gunplay, and if the gunplay is merely holding down right trigger... no one likes that anymore. COD style of easiness is no longer popular. Not sure Respawn got the memo yet.

So, I finally got around to getting Titanfall 2 on PS4. I hope the game is relatively active still.
COD was the best selling game of 2016. Perhaps you didn't get the memo.

Me too, and yeah, I don't have a problem finding matches.
btw. why Skirmish is only for a limited time? It's hands down the best mode I've played, no AI, 8vs8 + Titans, it's P E R F E C T.
The smart people have always known Skirmish is the best mode in this game.
Enjoy the single-player campaign! Hope no one spoiled some of the unique parts for you.
The lack of Reapers/Stalkers makes me so so happy. I do like the Grunts and Specters, but it reminds me of the first game.

Exactly why it's my favorite mode, no bullshit, just my team and our enemies, no AI stompfests for easy win and no reapers which can fuck up your amazing 1v1 in titans.
Oh, and player count, it's nice not having to run around the maps constantly looking for somebody, though I think 6 vs 6 would also be fine.
That's because of the knee jerk reaction of the general public to always buy what they know. That's gonna go away, and when it does it will be a big drop. Still, what's the point in Titanfall trying to copy COD? I don't really get that at all.

I haven't felt this excited to just get home and play a game in ages. This just seems like everything I've wanted in a shooter since Black Ops 2 and haven't gotten, plus more. Attrition seems like a brilliant mode. The game in general seems incredible.

Fuckiinnnnng hell. It never truly dawned on me but yeah why? Why do we have a giant health meter in a game with virtually 0 TTK. Has this ever been explained? Simply another way to bork your ass for moving around the map.

It is the nature of FPS games on consoles, there is no way around it. If you want to play console FPS games that shooting and aiming actually takes more skill other than positioning, your only sensible choice is Halo, or standard issue rifles mode Battlefield 1 because of the very long TTK. Pretty much every other active console FPS right now are designed around fast TTK and twitch aiming, even Rainbow Six Siege. It is basically a "deal with it or leave it" situation, sorry.
Um, Titanfall 1? Play a few matches of Titanfall 1 to see the difference. Aiming mattered there. I understand the nature of aim-assist, i was even arguing about it here when people were claiming aim-assist was unfair against kb/m which i thought was ridiculous considering the advantages of kb/m.....
Respawn made me eat my words because aim-assist in this game is ludicrous! It practically aims for you, no joke. I've never played a shooter on console with this much stickiness, ever. This ruins the gunplay, a lot. There is no back and forth battles like you could have in Titanfall 1. Aiming doesn't matter in Titanfall 2 because of this crap.

You really ran out of things to complain I guess.
I know, right? I'm always wrong lol. Fact is the pilot glow, over compensating aim-assist, and shitty maps have been complained about since the tech test. This isn't anything new.
Reapers I'm pretty eh on, but I think the AI in general leads to a lot more movement and faster buildup of the Titan Meter. But yea, I'm glad theres something in TF2 we can all enjoy

In terms of overall balance and the variety of experience this is probably the best iteration of Titanfall yet, now just give us more maps respawn.
Not even close. There's nothing to draw people in long term. Where's the pull? Where's the "i'm going to put time in and see how good i can get" ???
No matter how good you are at this game, no matter how much you've mastered the movement, all it takes is some asshole that can aim decently to sit on top of a roof with amped weapons and pick you off instantly.
Titanfall was awesome because it was about pure movement, with some intensely fast gunplay that required you to actuallly gun dual your opponent. The titan's were also just like the pilot combat- fast, intense battles between you and someone else. No gimmicky bullshit. No i see you and you die fast. This game is NONE OF THAT.
If someone could tell me what Titanfall 2 does that the first one didn't do better i'm all ears. At this point Titanfall 2 truly is a COD with slightly better movement.

Just for the sake of argument: sliding.
Agreed. Need more maps and Titans. Don't need more modes.
Have you considered that people find the game to be really fun and we're not just all sitting around playing pilot only modes screaming into the abyss about pro-level balancing? TF1 still exists. Go play it.
Can we trade for Izuna back yet?

I cant believe Skirmish isnt a default mode anymore. Just now discovered how great it is, and its full 8v8, and its just there for the weekend?

I hit rank 18 with the 6-4 and didn't get a advocate package... do they just stop after a while, or is that a bug?
Agreed. Really love the game. Can't wait for more maps & Titanfall 3.

Played another ridiculously unbalanced game of BH where 3 of us scored 1K and the enemy teams highest was 400 points
I had fun but I cant help but feel like this game has the hugest skill gaps Ive ever seen

Doesn't count since sliding wasn't even in the first one
Real talk though- the pilot combat isn't all that bad. They've improved tremendously on the fluidity of movement. The issue is none of the maps really showcase that.
You mean the Titans that are horribly slow and boring? Each Titan has another Titan that is a counter. If you pick the wrong load out vs someone else that picks that Titan counter you're good as dead.
Or maybe you enjoy Legion? Just point, and spray as many bullets as you can until you get a cheap aim bot core so you can rip everything away with zero effort. At this point the Titan combat turned out to be easily the worst change they made from 1 to 2.. well, that and map design of course.
I wouldn't be so sure that's a shoe in at this point.

But these aren't gameplay related. That's like arguing that the screen tearing isn't bad in Titanfall 2 and therefore it plays better.
