Is it any more useful than saying "I love this game"?

You talking about circle jerk lawd, Your a joke m8 ;( ;( ;( stop quoting me put me on ignore ;(
Check Amazon and best buy. Not sure what the sales are right now though. Maybe wait until after christmas.
Is that what people are doing in here? I've seen people generally talking about all aspects of the game and not just posting "I love this game". Some examples would be great though if you feel that's all people are posting.
And you're still not responding to my posts properly, just asking more questions each time.
I'm really confused...
~~~~~
Anyway, I've started to think that Threat Scope is more "useful" than I originally thought. It does have some situations (like seeing through smoke) where it allows you to do something you couldn't otherwise.
I still think Flight Core just isn't really worth using if you're head-to-head with a Titan. Most Titans can just go underneath and take you out (since Northstar can't aim straight down) -- better speed while hovering is extremely situational and I've only benefitted from it twice.
I think better Cluster is... I don't know, I think it's good enough without. It's far more useful as an Anti-Pilot tool anyway and the blast radius is enough to get people in a bank, for example.
Two Tether Traps, I'm not sure why, but Tether -> Nuclear has stopped feeling very useful since the patch. I don't know if this is a bug or I've been unlucky since, but I don't think twice the Tether makes a whole lot of difference. Perhaps I need to test this out.
And finally... I can't even remember what the other Kit is...
I mean, I appreciate that you don't like the comment I made, I can take that onboard ~~ but if you look at the last couple of pages you can find examples. I think my posts are just standing out to you since you expect me to say something negative. In the last thread (which I think was about the campaign), I'm not just hating on Titanfall 2. But sure, if you to question the purpose of my posts, then the purpose is to say what I think. It just so happens to be something you don't want to hear.

This. You just know he's one of those who thinks he's smarter than everone else in the room
I am starting to really like Northstar but her core needs work badly.
Also, I wish I could shoot the tether trap out further.
I think her Core does alright damage, but like Ion, she can't get the damage out without being hurt. Honestly, I just use Flight Core because Nuclear Ejection while in the sky catches people, lol.
I wish the Tether Trap worked as intended 100% of the time.
The distance is fine for Nuclear already, so why make it take SO long before it attaches? I want it to Tether a Titan the second it hits the ground, not have some sort of activation timer or require them to run past it or w/e.
Maybe try to run around the outskirts of the map more, and not through the map if that makes sense? As well as that use Camo more perhaps?
People usually only notice Camo when a person is closer or in front of them. Running a lot the outskirts of the map will put you in the peripheral view of probably half the players, and Camo should help you get the first shot on them.
But you have to be really close to be even the least bit effective with it. Why give the long range/sniper Titan a core that is only good at close range...
Yeah, it's stupid.
I feel like Tone saw Northstar and took all her Long-Range abilities lol
Am i the only one that didn't know about this? It's not the most useful and I don't think i've ever been in the situation to take advantage but good to know nonetheless.

Welp, that was clickbait.
Dude is talking about using Vortex Shield with Ion to throw enemy Ticks and they keep their ability to track.
Yeah it was a bit of a letdown. Properly hacking those wee fucks would be great.
cool will try out tactikill. I keep running with gun ready and fast reload on all my guns. even have the standard holo scopes on everygun
Gun runner and fast reload.
On my Titan weapons I use reload and increased ammo because I have run out of ammo before if I am alive for awhile.
EDIT: I use Gun Runner not ready. I rarely ADS anymore as I use SMGs or Softball
Lag
For Archer, I use Faster Reload and Gun Ready. If you shoot 3+ times with Amped you get another Titan lol

I simply cannot switch from anything but the MGL, its just too damn good at damaging Titans from a safe distance. I can dodge an archer shot with pretty good success.

For shotguns and SMGs, I use gun runner and tactikill. For LMGs and ARs, I use gun ready and either tactikill or large clip size. I almost never use fast reload (except for anti-titan weapons) because I usually run phase shift and reload when phased out.
Archer is safer imo
plus with Amped Weapons, you get a faster reload, more ammo, and insta kill on Doomed Titans
Not too many people know that they can be one shot when Doomed by an Archer. Doing so gives you almost an entirely new Titan <3
Shoot Archer -> Phase -> Archer (you probably have your Titan by now) -> Phase until Titan drops
This was so clearly sarcasm in a thread where people where calling out the absurdity of anyone actually thinking TF2 in a Titanfall 2 thread meant anything other than Titanfall 2.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1319001?
Anyway, I prefer to say R1 and R2 because it saves time, and everyone who takes the time to complain about it understands it just as much. TF2 is still somewhat alive.
Flanking in titans is really valuable, too. Sometimes I will make an end-around the entire outer edge of the map (Homestead, especially) because my teammates and the enemy team will get into mid-long range shootouts and I can swoop in from the side and doom/execute one of them before they can react.
Tactikill is a must. I think the default ADS and reload speeds are fine with most of the guns. Same for capacity. So I went with Gunrunner for my other attachment.
Ok having major problems with my connection today, it's been acting up a lot lately and I don't think it's just related to TF2 but hoping maybe someone could help me out. Here's a video of a typical start of a match for me, check out my ping. It'll usually calm down a minute into the match but it's really pissing me off.
My connection on PS4 is 6.3 Mbps down and 716 kbps up. That's more than enough to play games online yet I'm having a nightmare.

I know you think this is some clever heat, but it's just obnoxious. Even if I hated Crash Site and Reapers 100% or something (and it's always worth questioning & talking about), to turn around and say people should lose jobs or are bad leaders & designers over them is some high-powered ignorance. The two or three people you're accidentally referring to are fantastic, hard-working, and have quietly been responsible for much of what we've enjoyed (and I've been lucky to work on) in modern MP shooters since 2007.
Aaaaanyhow.
Fun stuff coming after the Holidays. I've seen people on their holiday vacations still checking stuff in remotely, so it remains a hungry team.
Looking forward to the christmas crowd coming in and seeing the game for their first times. And the slaughter. Lordy the slaughter.
Thanks for bringing it up. Connection issues can be infuriating for everyone involved because it's so easy to point fingers at every link in the chain.
...you're probably on a wifi router from 2003, in a lead-walked apartment near a microwave factory. Did I guess right?
Luckily, one of our main networking guys is working on ways to better deal with this stuff (diagnosing issues, etc). Jay might have already talked about it, I'll check when I'm home.

I don't hate Crashsite as much as most people seem to on here but I can't deny there is way too much clutter on the floor on that map, what's the reasoning behind that when all the other maps don't have you getting stuck on bits of geometry as you run about?
Regardless, looking forward to seeing what's coming in the new year, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the whole team at Respawn! Have a good one!
Please tell me you know what I can do to fix this!!

Aha I wish it was that simple, it is a wireless router but it's no where near that old, we are using signal booster things around the house which probably don't help out, but it's the only way I can get on as wires are out of the question! They're hopefully taking the microwave factory down any day now...XD

Hey Ray,
any chance you guys will open some merchandise store later down the year? Jay said in the Mountain Dew stream that you guys really missed a chance by not being able to establish something like this, so I guessed that you may have something in the works...
After seeing the making of the Pilot-models I really want some of those ^^
Also as I said somewhere in the first OT, people need to stop being rude and insult people they do not know or have a connection with.
Just because something does not float your boat (I don't hate Crash Site, it's a cool map, but not my fav.) doesn't mean the person behind it is incompetent or dumb.
Enjoy the holidays
Rayme stop responding to the negativity and talk to us who love this game!
I think his point needed to be heard and Rayme was 100% right. That type of talk that he quoted should not be tolerated on Gaf.

Thanks for everything you do and Happy Holidays to all you guys at Respawn. Cant wait for all the things you guys have in store.
Trust me, i made that same point and called for civility many, many times in OT1. It just sucks that the only time he posts is in response to shitposts and not hyping the rest of us up like the crack-addled Pilots we are and complimenting my sweet videos. Notice me, Rayme, notice me.

I've been rocking that one for a while now. It's so awesome.
It is probably because you dont have an avatar. May I suggest a picture of our one and only BT-7274
I played with him for the first time since the patch.... man oh man he's shield can't take any damage now!! Or at least in the LTS matches I was playing.
Ronin would be absolutely worthless if you could damage him during executions.
Otherwise no one would use them and everyone could just eject or exit the Titan
So they'd match up with Pilot Executions
Yeah no, because as a Titan you're a giant target for everyone in your vicinity while a pilot exec can be sneaky and indoors etc.
And as a pilot, you're able to absorb a lot less damage than a Titan. So yeah no.
