See Respawn? Everyone is for it
You gotta understand that invincible executions are for the same people that hated the ai, they don't want to punished for trying to feel cool.
Sure, it can be a different system, but the way it is now, just adding vulnerability would be awful.
Also I like the way it is now. It's hard enough to get them to begin with.
Even better, I'd love for it to be able to stop a nuke if you do it quickly. The trade off is no invulnerability. That way you add risk/reward for both the nuclear ejection and executions as opposed to now where they're both completely brainless.

Why shouldn't I say Rainbow 6? It basically renders COD S&D obsolete. Far more tactical, far more mechanical depth, and far more cooperation to succeed. I loved COD4 too but in comparison wooo throw a spawn nade, wooo post up on absurd headglitch wooo gg no re. I mean if you want to sink your time into the COD Buy Me Plz Doublepack they put together this year that's your business. But it's one cynical turd and one bag of memba berries if you ask me.
Is the patch live for all platforms?
What are the complaints with Tone in the first place?
Your titan can receive damage while picking you up, so they should do this but probably at 50% damage reduction.

I think I played for like eight hours straight today...
I don't know what this game has done to me. I've never prestiged in call of duty but I've regenerated my pilot already.

Respawn, delayed auto-sprint option pls
Phase embark is the best way to stop dying while being canned
Seems like legion does slightly less damage with the predator cannon . His smart core is still overpowered as fuck. Is it a bug that legion doesn't have to reload after smart core finishes ?! Christ.
Tone hasn't changed much either. I still don't understand why they allow the sonar pulse to paint targets .
They're making this harder than it should be.

No idea why Smart Core can't just be an instant refill on his magazine before he fires, so he can't just hold left mouse and win. Maybe temporarily double his mag capacity? Infinite ammo is absurd. Or heck, just make it so smart core has to take a second or two to lock onto Pilots and Titans.
Still, reduced damage is nice to hear.
My first three matches were on Harvest, Complex, and Crash Site. I was really bitter about my purchase for a while. Then I played some of the good maps and fell in love.
Yeah, Legion is enough weaker that it doesn't catch Pilots who are going in an out windows shooting him etc. this also means it's harder to get the second charge of Smart Core as quickly. I don't know if damage fallout was adjusted, but this weaker cannon means Tone for certain wins the fight.
For the most part, he still feels and plays the same.
Legion is fine now Respawn. You have to stop putting me in losing games though.

Welcome to the party. Tone didn't seem any different in my games. She was still shredding everything with no effort.
I'm getting too frustrated with playing poorly myself or playing in poorly balanced matches that snowball out of control. Titanfall 2 feels like there's no middle ground - either you're playing well and crushing people, or you're dying to three shots from hip fire from halfway across the map.
Sometimes it feels like a game is decided in the first 5 minutes if one team gets two Titans out on the field - especially true on Complex and Crash Site where there are no real places for pilots to hide and take pot shots.
Besides that, Attrition and Bounty Hunt don't have a proper sense of tension as matches get close, which they rarely do in my experience. The 500 score/5000 dollars feel like two bars slowly going up, and whoever fills it up faster wins. There's no sudden death state, no real ability to make clutch plays and survive an uneven fight (esp. in a Titan) to turn a match around. There's no real climax to matches, and that leaves matches feeling unsatisfying.

I honestly can't believe there is 3 ways to get pretty much a uav and they can all be used at the same time pretty much.
Like...this radar spam is honestly annoying, why don't they just leave the sonar alert at the bottom of the screen the whole game sense that's what this whole thing is at this point? No point removing it if that's all people want to use which is hilarious because I can think of better abilities in the game then just getting recon.
I also don't think there is any sort of flow or tug of war between both sides. I don't know if this is a timer thing or a points thing but the only time you really feel a real back and forth is the beginning of the match and from that point most of the time one team will get the pull away and it's over.
Amped is one of the few where if your close enough it can tip either way

Map Hack is now more annoying because every time it pings, it shows up a separate time in the UI and makes a noise.

Yeah honestly, Legion feels fine but Respawn, why have you taken away one of Tone's bad matchups? haha
Anyway, you can't really shoot through the particle walls anymore.
I think it was the damage dropoff that they adjusted for Legion.
I may as well just play as Tone now that Legion is rubbish against her lmao

Loving Ion, had a dude grapple me and as they slowly zoomed towards me I just instantly zapped them with the shoulder laser, they just exploded lol poor dude was probably raging afterwards. Seems like the PC player base is now staying around 8000-6000 and not getting much higher, probably be half that or more in a month but then maybe stay there for awhile.
lol that's a joke. Legion can turn a match
not sure what you're talking about because in lts legion is still devastating. I just came back and won from 0-3 because I switched to legion and kept flanking them . If you catch two titans unaware you'll take them both down quick.
Nothing's really changed it seems
Been seeing tons of Scorches and not too many tones.
Legion is pretty much the same in every fight, he'd just really bad against Tone now.
That just means Tone is legit. I originally switched from her because I was sick of how much Legion wrecked her. She'd basically better for me now.

lol that you can just back in and out of an amped hardpoint and rake in 2 defense points at a time. Surely that will be patched out at some point.
Played a few hours on a borrowed copy.
It's like eating at McDonalds to satisfy a burger craving: alright, but I know there's something better and I'd rather have that.
Titanfall 1 is a near perfect experience.
Titanfall 2 good to great, at times, but so many of these design choices - why? The cumulative impact reduces the speed while simultaneously reducing player survivability. It brings the skill ceiling crashing down compared to its predecessor.
Also the maps. What happened? Seriously, what happened? This cannot be the same team who mapped Titanfall 1. Was there a shake up at Respawn between titles?

I just cleaned up my last game. I have to wonder if the Tone and Legion nerf had anything to do with it. I didn't feel completely ineffectual in a Ronin it helped I had a battery every time I called mine in, but still I killed 6 Titans.
I guess they feel like TF1's experience couldn't have been that perfect if everyone stopped playing it.

Played a bit more and while I'm getting more used to the combat the maps are just across the board atrocious, both in layout and visual design. I can't believe how bland they are compared to the campaign artistically. There will always be a slight visual tradeoff between SP and MP graphics, but it's not just the fidelity, it's the overall direction. There isn't a single map with half of the charm of the campaign locales, which is sort of insult on top of the injury of how bland and spread apart the layouts are.

If Tone doesn't spec for better wall, she still loses to Legion. I guess he is just given a more fighting chance.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with these changes:
--
I love having ammo back. Map Hack never really bothered me but it seems like a useless boost now... and I don't know if anything has changed but melees feel fine.
Legion feels less powerful, but he still feels just as useful. I think it was only really the damage dropoff that was changed.

TF 2 is on track to dramatically under-sell TF 1, not sure what you're getting at.

Ran into a hacker by the name of "LAGGIEST GUY EVER". Well, he lived up to his name.
Blatantly obvious aimbotting and all that crap. Here's a clip.

That might have just been Legion's smart core, lol.
