I really dont see the hate either. Is it the elevation that everyone hates or the tight canyons?

Yeah like HelloMeow said, the routes are just awful. Flanking takes forever, there are no vertical spaces to get across the lanes and escape from Titans, the lanes themselves are too narrow and cause traffic jams because flanking takes forever, there are rocks and trash everywhere that cut off traversal flow, and the AI in Attrition do absolutely nothing with the map.

Visually it's one of the stronger maps, and the elevation/slopes are actually pretty interesting (especially inside the actual ship), but it's just not a fun map to move through.

That all applies to Complex as well.

Sorry to whoever I was playing with in a three person party earlier tonight on the GAF network, as I forgot my Pulse headset was set to mute all voice chat. I was confused why I kept seeing the mic symbols in the corner, but not hearing any voices.

 

[HelloMeow]

That all applies to Complex as well.

Yes, but at least Complex has some viable flanking for pilots, good spawns and even though it's flat, the walls are good for wall running.

Both maps would benefit from some verticality that would connect the lanes. For example, in Complex some roofs could be lowered and made accessible, so pilots could move between the lanes.

On PC? Because sonicmj and myself got smoked by some dude he was on the gaf network, but he was on the other team.

Time to try Northstar <3

I keep saying this to myself, then go back to my abusive partner: Tone.

Spoiler

Sorry Tone, you're bae...I didn't mean it.

I think it's the beginning. I've only been playing Attrition this weekend. Every single Crash site maps starts with everybody rushing to the hill regardless if you spawn at the bottom or at the top. Then everybody goes ATS and looks for pilots to pick off. That goes on for a few minutes then everybody spreads out.

Every single match ends up in the bottom part of the map where there is a few trailers, even if the drop ship ends up being at the spawn site area.

I like the map quite a bit, yeah you can't slide uphill and bunny hopping is annoying because the terrain gets in your way but lots of cool areas littered around it.

 

[Sushi Nao]

So I'm like winning Attrition constantly.. is there skill or level-based matchmaking? Do people just not know to hardcore farm grunts and specters?

Not really complaining, it's just always kind of a blowout

Nah Complex is still not porous enough. The middle hub section with the dome is especially an annoying section to be caught in, and like you said, the lack of roofs and vertical paths in general make combat uninteresting. Although the walls are smoother, it's only the main hallway that's any fun to bounce around. The street, the lab, the lecture hall, and the rest of the destroyed facility are straight up CoD Land.

 

[Haines]

So far I don't mind regen!

You don't lose as much higher as I thought.

And I like that I can pay for something if u really want.

God this game is well made.


Mixtape only hopper to play imo.

What's the point of even using gravity star

Takes so long to activate, might as well just shoot them instead

I've been running the Mastiff on Hardpoint, and oh lord... I don't really want to let out the secret, but that thing is basically a shotgun/sniper hybrid.

Using Phase with it and teleporting into a camper's body, then immediately blasting his buddy holding a Hardpoint is one hell of a good feeling, and I've done it more than a few times now.

Also the Hemlock. Love it. Brings me back to CoD 4 M16 days. Yummy.

Last but not least... Tone. Tone is definitely the titan I run with the most. Love it.

I am really warming up to this game since the beta (which I enjoyed) and the feeling of something missing from what made the original so good has vanished...

I bought the game on Friday and didn't put it down too often over the weekend. Went from level 0 to 46 over that period and really got to experiment with some class setups. The possibilities are endless. ENDLESS.

You're a fucking walking highlight reel in this game no matter what weapon you're using.

 

[MasterForm]

I will say that the beta did not sell me at all on this game. It actually made me not want to get it. However, a combination of the high praise of the single player and Target's video game sale pushed me to buy this. The multiplayer is much improved since the beta and is a joy to play.

I like how Tone is listed as 3 star difficulty Titan compared to Ion or Scorch lol.

Yes, Tone is indeed the best Titan.

Getting a sneaky game in before Uni.

<3

Offering to buy this for my brothers so they can play the Campaign and PC multiplayer.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Don't judge me for the camping (its pilot v pilot, flow is different) but someone said the G2 was trash earlier and that's simply not true. At mid/long range it rocks (xbox one): http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Quempfq/video/23239688

 

[Animator]

Dear Ronin players,

Thank you for rushing into my scorch's warm embrace thinking whatever the fuck you are thinking and giving me sweet easy kills.

 

[Codeacious]

Oh, nice! Now you just made me realize I won't ever get it. Screenshot of camo?

Good streak. Wouldn't really consider that a moment of camping, why leave if the enemy constantly announce their position within in view from the window. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

Yes, Tone is indeed the best Titan.

Always.

Man, I am just having so much fun with the multiplayer. I generally try out a new loadout and stick with it each day and generally have a good time. R201 and CAR are my go to weapons, but I've been trying to get out of that comfort zone and mess with a little bit of everything, minus the grenade launchers and snipers. They're generally not my style.

I feel like I've been sleeping on Scorch. Wasn't a fan of that slow attack speed, but I've really warmed up to his style of play. Discovering just how useful that flame shield can be was pretty great. About the only titan I really haven't been playing with at this point is Ronin.

I've also really grown to enjoy the maps. I wasn't too keen on them at first, but I was also making heavy use of the grapple hook and not trying to attempt any wall runs without it. I have a new appreciation of the maps now that I've done a better job at navigating my way around. Just the act of moving around the map so quickly and fluidly feels so awesome. This game has a way of your regular games feel incredibly thrilling. Really been happy with the game overall. I'm really looking forward to running around Angel City next month.

Hemlock out G2's the G2 tho

 

[Haines]

I cannot figure Northstar out but I'm determined to push on.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Hemlock out G2's the G2 tho

So I hear (I wasnt referring to your post btw, someone else said the weapon was straight up trash). I tries the Hemlock and just couldn't find a rythm, but I'll put more time in it. Maybe if I pretend its a Halo battle rifle or somethin

 

[KodaRuss]

I got Tone to G3.12.

I think I am going to keep going with her to get the nose arts.

 

[OdysseusVA]

I cannot figure Northstar out but I'm determined to push on.

What are you having trouble with?

Dear Ronin players,

Thank you for rushing into my scorch's warm embrace thinking whatever the fuck you are thinking and giving me sweet easy kills.

I've swapped from Tone to Scorch....I think I'm in love.

Probably doing worst objectively with him, but damn...if he ain't a barrel of fun!

 

[Izuna]

I don't like how Ion fucks up Northstar's Core Ability lol

let's nerf Ion guys

 

[Haines]

What are you having trouble with?

The trap seems useless.

The flying ability seems pointers.

The core mode feels week and I'm a sitting duck.

Feels very UP. The snipe is cool. Can I actually tag people with my r1?

Trap is amazing.

Flying ability is Scorch's worse nightmare at least.

Core is kinda weak, I wish it was faster (it will be).

Cluster is probably one of the best weapons in the game.

 

[Alx]

The flying ability is useful when two groups of Titans are fighting each other. Northstar stays behinds charging its shot and hops above the barricade to deal big damage to the opposing crowd.
You can use the same tactic using small buildings in 1 Vs 1 fights, but then you'll receive somme damage too.

 

[Teknoman]

Good lord this campaign is fun, and the game looks great! The titan animations are cool, and the gameplay feels like a fast action 90s / early 2000s sci fi imo.

Glad I decided to roll with this. Really like that hipfire is an actual factor here too and not just ads 24/7.

 

[SwolBro]

I am still shocked how Crash Site made into the game. It does not function like a Titanfall map. Just trench warfare for the whole game (attrition).

Legit in the top 5 worst maps of all time in any FPS game

you guys are being a bit too rough. in pvp it's pretty fun... the trench warfare that is.

also, once you realize the routes it's a pretty fast map. same goes for complex. yes, they're probably 2 of the weaker maps in the game but calling it the worse maps ever is a bit of an exaggeration.

Only unbalanced-ish things i've seen are the p90 like smg and how useless Ronin if not suporting other titans.

Ronin needs a little buff and we are set with titans tiers i think, as good as Tone it is not the best in every situation so i don't see everyone using it once the meta settles.
.

I played with a really good ronnin player tonight. yes, he needs support when he has to get away, but he can be such a pesk. a slight adjustment to his magazine size and i think he'd be a lot easier to use and more effective in general.

I was surprised to see population on PS4 up higher than I'd ever seen it before post-COD launch. I was expecting it to surely dip a bit.

that's because people are realizing how fucking trash new COD is.

G2 is obnoxious to deal with and now it seems hemlocks are dominating any medium to large map in pilot v pilot.

 

[Reebot]

Just give us all the Titanfall 1 maps Respawn, no need to mess about with the current terrible pool.

 

[Codeacious]

Wow, the Hemlok is ridiculous. I thought the R-201 and Volt were crazy, but this thing is just slaughters people if you can track relatively well.

Also, the Cold War is personally the most fun gun in the game to me. I don't perform nearly as well compared to a shotgun or rifle, but it's just so entertaining and satisfying to use that I don't even care.

Respawn, make Drydock come up more often in the rotation. It's a good map, and I never see it.

 

[Logsi]

Crash site is legit one of my favourite maps!

Still loving this. Swapping out different guns and trying new things. Every time I try a new titan and main it for a bit it becomes my favourite. On a bit of a Tone tip right now, so good.

Everyone raves about the alternator but I don't think it suits my play style. Going for the M1 garand single shot rifle at the moment with the radar knife. Before you know what's happening to you, you're dead from that rifle.

 

[SwolBro]

Wow, the Hemlok is ridiculous. I thought the R-201 and Volt were crazy, but this thing is just slaughters people if you can track relatively well.
.

the range is flat out absurd. amped? it's the most ridiculous gun in the game. you can 1 burst headshot someone from across any map.

i think the g2 and hemlock need slight reductions in their effectiveness at distance.

 

[Discotheque]

the problem with crash site is that the pilots tend to cluster at that same high point on the map. can always find a back and forth fight between like 3 pilots around there. it's too narrow.

it's dope to rack them points up though i guess lol.

 

[Haines]

Trap is amazing.

Flying ability is Scorch's worse nightmare at least.

Core is kinda weak, I wish it was faster (it will be).

Cluster is probably one of the best weapons in the game.

OK so explain. Just saying something is the best doesn't help?

 

[Izuna]

OK so explain. Just saying something is the best doesn't help?

Well currently, it snuffs out pilots and they stupidly run into it. Also, if you aim it on the ground where you want, a Titan will do their best to avoid that area. You can basically force Tone away from her wall this way.

Every gun is awesome and usable, part what makes this game awesome.
I can even shred people with the standard pistole

 

[Plasma]

Crash site is legit one of my favourite maps!

It's grown on me, if I spawn down the bottom of the hill I just go around the side route and flank rather than just rushing up and getting slaughtered which a lot of people seem to do.

OK I was playing a lot of LTS so the pilot thing didn't occur to me

I will try aiming it at the ground more

 

[Reckless Onion]

Whenever this map comes up i just set up shop with the G2/hemlock, it always starts with a shootout on that long lane so g2/hemlock just dominates that range.

Yep I switched to Ronin after playing Northstar almost exclusively, and it doesn't feel overpowered by other titans. Since I'm playing "suicide style" with nuclear explosion, I'm not afraid to run straight to groups of titans on my own, and even then I sometimes happen to get out alive thanks to the confusion. Other players seem to enter panic mode when they start getting slashed repetitively.
I don't even feel it has a specific Nemesis, maybe Scorch will deal the most damage at close range but we'll usually fall together.

I still need to find clever ways to use the phase shift though.

It's grown on me, if I spawn down the bottom of the hill I just go around the side route and flank rather than just rushing up and getting slaughtered which a lot of people seem to do.

Same for me, got tired of the early trench wars.
Crash Site is a very complex map, with lots of small passages and secrets. It may not be my favourite, but it's very well designed. Fights will always get chaotic towards the end though, when all titans gather at the same point.

 

[Haines]

The funny thing is I have zero idea what map complex is.

I've even been trying to check map names to see what all the fuss is about and I don't spot it.

And I'm gen 2 lol

No, not that one either. The other one. You know which one.
