Yes hopefully Angel City is just the start of a constant trickle of TF1 maps. I really hope they don't alter some of the vantage points in the upcoming TF2 version, I feel like there are areas of the current maps that should be in play, but oddly are not. It's like Respawn wants you on the ground or close to it or in common areas.

Okay pardon my ignorance here but I had some questions and can only google so much while at work (blocked, etc.).
I don't want to get this game for Multiplayer as I already have like 4-5 online games i'm playing. Do they plan to do any single player add ons or expansions? Are the expansions / content updates going to be free or is there a season pass, etc?
I want it for single player but how long is it? I remember reading 7 hours or so. I don't have hundreds of hours to play a game so a 10-20 hour campaign is usually perfect for me.

A dev said that Angel City will be in its full, original glory.

Admittedly, I got lost in the bushes as well haha.
The campaign is a very good ride (7-10 hours), but don't expect any expansions. The multiplayer will be getting a ton of updates, though.

It doesn't even make sense, you can go higher in parts of the maps, but certain areas have these weird height limits placed on them

Have to head to Toronto today on business, and all I can think about is how I wont be able to play TitanFall 2 all week.
For all the design and balance changes from TD1 that I dont particularly agree with, this game still has its hooks in deep.
As far as DLC, hoping and praying for the Expedition and Brute loadouts from the campaign. XO-16 chaingun....my preciooooouuuuuusssssssssssssssssss

This is incredibly irritating during gameplay, but it's definitely better than the alternative, I think. I don't want some asshole literally camping in the woods, chucking out a pulse knife now and then, looking for cheap kills.

This one on this map really puzzled me, it looks like a good spot to set up shop with a ranged weapon like the Kraber, not even reasonably close to being considered out of bounds.

It's not the fact it's out of bounds really but I get so disoriented there. In that clip I couldn't manage to jump out because it was as if my head kept hitting something. Really frustrating.

I never played the first Titanfall, so I can't say anything about the maps in that game, but I feel that they range from serviceable to good in this game. What really drives this game home for me, though, is the movement, and the feel of the game. I am absolutely addicted to this now, and I'd heartily recommend the MP to everybody over Battlefield, COD, et al.
This, my friends, is the best MP shooter out there right now. Honestly. It needs more players and attention.

Yeah I saw that, I guess I took it to mean in a literal sense it's the same map. I just don't want my favorite vantage points to be out of bounds, I hope you're interpreting his words correctly though.
I'm really hoping for and electrical theme titan counter part to Scorch and the return of Tif1 Arc Cannon.
I think it'd be nice if some clipbrushes could be added to the "pit" here so players can't hide (or accidentally land and get trapped) in these bushes, even if it's only for a few seconds.Boomtown is the biggest offender of this BS

I was in the drop ship while a enemy pilot was hidden and lobbing mag grenades onto the ship. I threw a gravity star at him, which levitated him upwards to an exposed position. Easy kill

That was the meta in Titanfall 1. At least in CTF it was.

Finished the campaign this weekend and gotta say, I'm impressed. It was short, but having almost no time to play during the week, I sort of came to appreciate that now.
Very well paced; they balanced Titan gameplay, pilot combat and navigation very well, liked the simplistic survival story of salvaging a botched military operation, very cool gimmick mechanics for some individual levels.
Played some multiplayer and loved it too. I'll probably keep playing this one for a while.

still getting bad frame drops in mp. Went and created a solo private match to see where it happens and couldnt seem to nail down the issue. Could be due to stuff happening when the AI or titan lands graphically but not sure. Also have no idea if it's my computer causing it or packet loss.
They are in the campaign!
Yeah... the maps in this are all kind of bad. They really should just dump every TF1 map in this soon. More maps would be great for decreasing burnout in this. I need that DLC road map, Respawn. More titans and maps are essential. I wouldn't mind a few new pilots skills either.

As for maps, I agree they should just get as many TF1 maps in the game as possible. Like figure out a process for just cranking those out because they're great and many of them would work fine in this game. I personally want Rise, Haven, War Games, Relic, Corporate, Demeter, Smuggler's Cove, Colony, Runoff, Swampland, Dig Site....... well really practically all of them!!!
Phase Shift as a defensive tool... just doesn't really work sometimes. The game is a little too generous to laggers. And if you're facing a laggy dude you're going to be fed an instakill even if you pop out of phase as soon as he looks at you. Laggers are also very difficult to goose at times. It's absolutely awful to face in Coliseum as well. I think that Battlenonsense analysis was pretty much saying the same thing. The game has dedicated servers, my opinion is at some point you're responsible for maintaining a decent connection to the Internet and lag comp shouldn't be saving you.
For all my love of LTS in this game some of the battery spots could use some tweaking. Am I missing something or does one side of Drydock give a team two free batteries compared to zero on the other?
Boomtown feels a little uneven, one side is a pretty safe battery get, the other seems to be flankable. I like the way they are on Exoplanet, where you kind of fight over them. Black Water Canal is good too. Eden isn't too bad but the mid battery feels like it's tilted to one side a bit. Crash Site and Complex seem ok for batteries, though I hate Complex for LTS. Kodai seems ok but one battery is definitely quicker than the other.

I hope they plan to add more chassis options that have some kind of theme like Ion and Scorch Prime.

Battery Boost has become among my favorite boosts. That linked with the phase embark pilot perk makes it so you can last much longer with your titan.

Spent a few hours leveling last night, got my Alternator a little too leveled up at this point though, can't really find anything else I like. Just unlocked the Volt so I'm gonna do a couple loadouts with that.
They don't do a lot of damage, you can flank them and melee for a one hit kill.

Fracture, Lagoon and Airbase were awful IMO.

They're a bitch and a half in Bounty Hunt. Drop one in a bank room, and even if you don't get many kills you'll still fuck the other team up just by messing with their deposits.
Yea Rise and War Games were great as well.
I think tickers are better for deposit rooms.

Yeah, I can cloak and walk right up to the turret and melee it without taking damage. Gotta clear and ping a room for tickers.

I use the anti titan on them and they go down in like 2 shots
Are you walking in straight lines lol?
that's a good strategy and yet i see no one use it. Another pro tip i don't see may people deploy is smoke when an opponent initiates a core. it can throw off some of the locked abilities and make it hard to see for others.
Yeah the green is really bright. I still find legion deadly just not as much as before. Tone is still practically the same. Taking away her ability to paint a target with pulse blade would help bring her down.
40 and particle wall was the most used combo in titanfall 1. 40+vortex+salvo was a very pro combo but definitely wasn't used more than 40/wall .
yeah i agree. on some maps it's like wtf?
Oh on LTS sure, but never for something like Attrition.
I did look at a few videos since that post though.
it can get annoying but mainly when your teammates are stupid as fuck. . if people actually shot at it it'd go down quick but they don't. a g2a can take down a turret fast
in a situation like that the best thing to do is either cloak or stim right next to it and kick it to its death

Anyone else using Dice Roll as a boost? It is excellent as it gives you a diverse range of Boosts.
The only one I hate is Phase shift, yet to find a scenario that I can use it with the TTK what it is.
Turrets, Smart Pistol, Amped weapons, Battery, all very good in different scenarios.

I bought dice roll early, thinking it would be a good way to play all the boosts, but in the end I quickly stopped using it. Too many times I get a boost that seems completely irrelevant on its own at the moment, and when that happens you need to call a Titan then destroy it to have another roll. Not worth it. :/
Should be both. I don#t think the game makes a difference technically between the two modes.
