I discovered last night that there's actually (at least) 11 Generations this time around for Pilots (first game has 10). I'm guessing guns can regenerate for a long while.
One perk about Atrittion is that it's 6v6, whereas Bounty Hunt is 5v5. I think 6v6 would work for Bounty Hunt, though.

What's the maximum ping tolerance for a game like this? I feel like there nobody playing LTS in Singapore and the next closest data Centers are Hong Kong and Tokyo (50-ish ping).
Even then occasionally I have this weird "blackout screen" moments where I thought I lost connection but then it came back.

it gets my vote for traversal alone .. sling shooting yrself over walls attack on titian style lets you high tail it out of there in quick time
50 is just fine.

One of the things with this game that I don't like so much is the amount of emphasis on sonar and wall hacks. Feels like I'm being constantly wall hacked in this game and the problem I have is that I can't counter it at all.
In the past I'm usually running stealth kits and in other shooters perks equivalent to coldblooded, but I feel like the stealth kit in this game is kinda pointless with how often I'm being pinged via wall hacks. I guess something like coldblooded where you can't be detected wouldn't balance well with something like cloak but damn, I don't know, would be nice to not be anticipated most of the time.

How do the regions work
How many servers are there? How many in US East for example? Wouldnt it be better to combine some regions and reduce playlists? I feel like Pilot v pilot and Skirmish should just not exist, for example.

Better maps, Titans weren't made of glass, gunplay felt better to me, etc. I didn't want to get it after the tech test, but a buddy pressured me into it.
Playing on PC I can't find a Pilot v Pilot match and it's been out for 4 days. Game is already dead, smh.

That's sort of what makes or feel like in playing call of duty more when on foot, that stuff is so cod. It's been awhile since I played the original but I did spend a ton with it when it launched and loved it to death, I don't remember that kind of shit and that's why I feel the first was simply better especially the ground game

Yea I feel titans are made of glass also. You're in and out of one on seconds at times it seems

Titans don't feel any weaker than before to me. Like the first game sometimes I do well in a Titan and sometimes I don't. Did they really change it that much ?
The Dude
Member
Yea, feel the same. I shut remember in the original getting my titan and being able to really lay waste.
It's funny because I find this game enjoyable for the most part but there are still things that really bug me.
As I said before if they simply left the ground combat/gunplay/titans the same and added content like they have it would be spot on perfect

Ehh, thats the worst mode anyways. Play a titan mode, its in the game's name.

I don't know about the first game but it feels weird to have these giant hulking mechs playing peekaboo in LTS instead of being aggressive with them.

Yea there's something different. I just remember titan battles being more epic because you could stay in it longer. I think the fact that pilots can really butt fuck you so hard, least harder than I remember, doesn't help. You are sometimes getting shot from every which way and I dunno... Feels like a cluster fuck at times.
I have enjoyable matches but there is definitely something different.
The original had absolutely spot on gunplay and titan combat, I played the game for a long ass time... Whatever they did it's definitely a change

I started switching my boost to the free extra battery any time I am playing any mode besides LTS. Then whenever my titan drops I activate my boost and my titan instantly gets an overshield, it's like TF1.
Also, how the hell is pretty much any higher location out of bounds? On some of the maps it's almost every 4th jump that lands me in an area that I'm not supposed to be in.
Crashsite is probably the worst, there's hardly a single area I can get to as a pilot that is not out of bounds.

Im always on the move so none of that stuff bothers me. I get pinged all the time but unless your just sitting somewhere then it shouldn't be too much of a problem
The lack of regenerating shields makes them much less viable IMO. The battery idea is cool in theory, but I still prefer the old system. Playing games of Attrition and Bounty Hunt on certain maps leads to a clusterfuck of titans in chokepoint areas and everyone just goes down real quick.
They also nerfed the dashing so it makes it harder to disengage and even if you do, you'd have to run and find a battery to get your Titan back up to snuff. They seemed to have cranked up the titan build rate from the tech test. I got like 3-4 in one bounty hunt match when I played for the first time yesterday, basically double.
So much wrong with this I don't even know where to start, Jesus
Yeah you're right, guess it comes down to the red outline. They really should remove it, or at least when you're playing as a titan.
Edit: Oh and fuck complete areas on the ground, in the middle of the map being out of bounds. I really can't believe they shipped maps where I have a 50/50 chance of dying, because some designer placed a structure in the main map that's not supposed to be accessed.

It's pretty much how it is. There are times I'll get in my titan and If 2 pilots start on me I'm half health within seconds of even getting in it

Nice work
I didn't even think about using a rocket launcher, that probably helps quite a bit. The place both of our runs really loses time is when sliding under the wall at the end of the first section, as we both transition to running briefly. It really kills the speed and takes at least 2 seconds off the time, possibly more. You could avoid running by using a grenade under the left side of the wall to take out the left side dummy then sliding at the first with the shotgun, and keep momentum.
I don't think I'll bother going back to it though, but I'd be really interested if they released some more challenges or races. It'd be interesting to take part in some using different tools like grappling or stim.
Don't be so ridiculous. Under-population of one mode does not make the game dead. Games like Call of Duty are incredibly popular yet often launch with various modes where you can't get high quality matchmaking due to the low player population (e.g. Sabotage in older Call of Duty games). It's worth considering that many people just starting out on the game will most likely be playing the default game modes. Pilot vs Pilot is quite circumscribed and I suspect many will want to experience the Titan gameplay.

Oh I move too, but it still doesn't stop the fact that with wall hack you're completely visible to all of the enemy team with no counter. Cloak doesn't hide you. Radar Jammer doesn't stop the wall hack, just the radar. Running away from the sonar daggers is fine but the wall hack will keep you pinged no matter where you run.

It's definitely a different feeling game and I hated it at first but it's really grown on me and I'm having a lot of fun. Some maps like homestead are pretty bad imo but there are also some very intricately designed maps that encourage a lot of movement. I hope they do some balancing tweaks though

This is definitely a good change if true.

Hey, I doubt there's many of us in an eastern time zone, so feel free to add B-Genius (if you're on PSN).
Depends. If they're co-ordinated or at least stick together, it's gonna be tough for a single titan, let alone a pilot. You just gotta be a bit more sneaky/quick and plot your routes around the map when there's a gang of enemy titans on the loose! Otherwise, try the cloak to give you some breathing room as others have suggested.
