Yes, stim is where it's at.

Might be a dumb question but how do you rodeo without a grappling hook? Do you just double jump onto a Titan?
Resistance 1 was a good game (way too long for its own good though) -- but man, no one ever talks about Resistance 2 ;p
Yeah. But Stim is better imo.
Yes.
Try to do it from the sides, rear, or above so you don't get pulverized.

Frothy with some good CTF tips... and stellar movement in his video as always. High level TF movement is soooo much fun!

I've mostly used the grapple thus far. It's useful for keeping you mobile on the more open maps. Importantly, one of the best uses for me is the change of direction. I'll be airborne and catch attention from a Titan which is usually death, but I can't just grapple to the ground to quickly redirect and speed out of view. I need to experiment more with the others.

I was 100℅ Grapple through Gen 1. Once I regenerated, I tried different things, selling on cloak for now.
Once I got nailed down the movement and bunny hopping with slide, the Grapple was needed much less for traversal.
I do miss it for the quick grapple onto enemy Titans and to enter my own.
it's a lot of fun but you're too easy to hit while grappling. I'll probably stick to stims or pulse blade.
Stim in particular is very nice because I'm always hunting for batteries and that's the only way to get one and escape alive reliably.
Can you play Single Player campaign off-line? Leaving for a trip tomorrow and currently downloading to the laptop. I can always answer this question myself in a hour when it's finished downloading.
PS4 was at about 17k late last night about midnight Central time. Plenty of people.
I am starting to but I really do like the grapple being able to fling yourself pretty far up the map when needed.
It was the worst of the series by far. The only thing that was good about it was the coop modes. The story sucked (and almost ruined the franchise) and they took away the best part of the first game with only being able to carry two weapons.

DOA for PC? (just got it...)
I hope not, downloading now also
For the grappling hook I mostly use it for small traversing. Stuff like getting around corners that don't connect through wall running or to other walls that I couldn't reach with a double jump. I've gotten pretty good at it if I do say so myself. I really want to mix it up with the hover ability.
Yah, just stim for me. It fucking rocks.

Does anyone else feel like there aren't enough maps? I've been playing Attrition non stop, and I'm already feeling like I'd pay to have a few more maps in the mix.

It's not really "dead" but anything other than Attrition, Hardpoint, or Bounty Hunt is extremely hard to find a game on. I've never found a FFA game. I've only gotten into one (very laggy) CTF game. I did manage to roll with Pilot vs. Pilots for a while but the initial search took forever and I haven't been able to find a game since I backed out of the post-game search the other day. No luck with Variety.
I'm not sure what Respawn were thinking with Crash Site and Complex. They've got the most wonderful parkour in the world but these maps really don't allow it to shine. Chokepoints and the lack of flanking opportunities favour a cover and shoot type of game that really doesn't feel like Titanfall.
This is a shame, but it was the same for TF1. People just don't bother with CTF on PC.
On that note, anyone know where I can get it on PC for cheap? Cheapest I've seen is £36.

Attrition time limit needs to be bumped up another two minutes or so to adjust for the increased score limit. Way too many matches going to time.
Damn, that is sad. Are there numbers of players for the other modes?
This is probably our (Respawn guys that post here)'s fault. We number our games internally with R for Respawn, so R1 is Respawn 1 ie. Titanfall; R2 is Titanfall 2, etc.
I know I habitually use it when talking about the game even with people who have no context for what it means, so. Sorry about that!

Need some pro tips for the gauntlet , GAF. Stayed up way too late and still need to find 4 secs somewhere. I think I might be able to gain time right before I slide under the wall and right before the last 2 guys. Just Can't seem to keep my speed above 30

It is not hard to find CTF matches. Change the data center if you can't find any games in your region

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you for making this awesome game
There aren't nearly enough maps. They're going to get old pretty quickly. That said, try not to burn out on attrition now given it might be one of the only two modes you can play in a few months.
Use EPG-1 and maybe EVA if you trouble aiming

My only gripe is matches go a little quick, but other than that yea it's a pretty solid game. What I'm amazed with is even tho I'm a Pc gamer I bought this on ps4 since most of my buds are there, but I'm so impressed with how the frames stay pretty solid with all of this stuff going on especially when there are a handful of mechs on the screen. And I don't know but there is something so fun and bad ass about riding Rodeo with a team mate lol I feel like Master blaster up there

Hmmm, this is interesting. I feel I'm half decent at the game but BH sure feels like first team with multiple Titans and gets out in front, stays out in front. Like the team who does the best in the first wave seems to stay ahead most times.
I was trying to stay away from attrition because I played so much in 1, but your comments make me wanna spend some more time there
Nah but it's the start tho, shit just goes up from there for real
Check a video for epg in gauntlet. It's well hidern

Really dislike complex. Not at all what I'd want from a titanfall map.

Yea attrition feels pretty good, I like amped, attrition, pvp and BH. But I agree seems in bounty hunt one side is getting smashed and there's really no changes. Haven't had a BH match that waffled a bit back and forth.
Loving the game more tho, all I know is what a treat to have 2 great shooters back to back

The EPG is here.
And here is another run.
The less time you run on a wall, the faster you'll end up going when you jump off. Longer jumps also help.
Bumper Jumper, default deadzone, classic, 4 sensitivity
for PC - hold crouch (ctrl), hold aim, everything else default

Scuff controller with jump and slide on the paddles. Default deadzones, curves and sensitivity bumped up by two. I really wish we could tune ADS sensitivity/speed as well.
Pretty fucking boring, after the initial spawn killing.

Tone was referred to as being a female titan. It's a bad thread title. I hope we make it to OT2 for that reason alone.
