TITANFALL 2 |OT| Don't Misgender Tone.

Ok, there needs to be an option to get rid of the stupid minimap flashes. Just had a game where a saw a blip long enough to act on it, and it's insanely more useful. To be honest, I didn't think those were still in the game.

Blips only show up when a pilot is painted by a pulse blade, Map Hack or Tone's sonar. They don't show up when pilots shoot.

Boy, I stop playing for a few days to go through some FFXV, and it feels like I hit the wall running in most mp matches. It's taking me a while to get back into the groove again, but I'm still really enjoying mp overall. Bounty Hunt still makes me a bit salty due to frustrating teammates.

Is Angel City in the map rotation for other modes? I don't think I've actually come across it at all when I've ventured off into other modes. It might be just me, but lately the map rotation seems to be less varied. I feel like I've come across only two or three maps for the entirety of my playthrough. Last night was Complex, Crash Site twice, then some more Complex. I honestly don't have a problem with the maps (with the exception of a few modes not playing as well there), but I still like to play with all the available maps.

Dream Reaver got pwned earlier. That's what you get for repping Giant Bomb instead of GAF buddy :p

For those of you playing on console, how are your turning speed/ads set? Did you change any other setting? Is there something specific that is recommended regarding the controls (besides using evolved preset)?

Personally, these settings (or the idea of these settings) has made R2 the easiest to play. Response Curve isn't worth changing as it's possible to simply "get used" to, but the rest remove your ability to get muscle memory.

I got super fed up a few hours ago. I think it's worth explaining why. I feel like it doesn't what you post, whether it's an actual issue, a preference or criticism, there's always going to be a response in contrary. I think that this ruins discussion.

It becomes a game of who can articulate themselves better or who can provide a better .gif (or have more backup), rather than being a pool of different opinions. Negativity isn't the only issue, it's also the feeling that posting anything other than the consensus is a problem ~ and it seems like the consensus is that we should stop having an issue with any individual thing.

There are posts like the one I've just replied to that get lost in this sea or either shitting on or defending R2. I think we'd solve whatever problem we have without much thought needed if we tried to assist people a bit more.

With that said:

TitanGAF is having less and less people in it. People are preferring to stay in other networks because it has more people in it. I have this to say. That's perfectly fine, but there are a few of us who play this game regularly that are always in the TitanGAF networks. They're not completely dead. But if you want to play with GAF, it's a good idea to the OT to say when you'd like to play.

Sweet merciful crap at those pitch and yaw settings dude. Man do I feel old and slow right now. LOL


I increased the pitch and yaw on ADS so that it's roughly equal to the default hip-fire sensitivity. Makes the transition less jarring when you're tracking an enemy and switch from hip-fire to ADS mid-track. At least for me.



Has anybody had one of those games where the game was just like 'no, you're not allowed on any Titans'? Like, doesn't matter the angle, the distance, even if it's friendly, just not 'sticking' and triggering the animation. I just had one and I have to say, dying because you can't get up on your buddy's titan to insert the battery might be the most infuriating way to die. LET ME UP! PLEEEEAAAAAASE!

It's not actually that fast. Removing the acceleration and that option that gives you extra turning speed at maximum makes it very manageable. With these settings, it's a very smooth and predictable increase as you move your right-stick to turn.

I hear ya.

I'm relatively sure using settings like this would make be better in the long-term, but I don't know if I'm of the mindset to power through the inevitable frustration (and ass-kickings) as I readjust. lol

I dunno, people said the same thing when I suggested maxing out their sensitivity in Doom and removing all acceleration. You're required to make less twitchy movements to get what you want, and since you'll gain muscle memory, you won't be constantly readjusting your aim to compensate.

It's amazing that Rayme gave us the ability to do this.

If you haven't yet; consider turning the inner Deadzone setting down or even off. The lower the better, generally. You'll have a bit of drift to deal with, but that shouldn't really matter, and the improved sensitivity should help you in the long run.

Mine were a little lower than that image (I thought it'd be best to keep it that way when I use it as an example). For my controller, I think because I claw, I like to just about eliminate any drifting. I have it about half of what's in the image. (I would have my sensitivity higher but my hands are usually cold this time of year)

Also, I'm sure I've never had Drydock in Bounty Hunt, now that I've played it in Private Match.

I've been getting matched up with laggy as fuck teleport all over the place people all day today

I played one Coliseum match today and my ping was all over the place for some reason. Up to 300 at times. I have never had it that bad in the slightest. Not sure what it was.

Man.... I really wish dash was standard for all Titans.... I swear I can never leave a Titan encounter as Scorch without 75% of my life gone. 1 on 1 in the open with only 1 dash he takes to much damage.... I've used up my flame shield up close at that point so if the player dashes away or worst it if its a Tone... ugh.

He needs something else, he excels in close quarter maps like Complex, Crash Site in certain spots, but man on Eden or Homestead.... or Angel City. Get's totally wrecked, pilots do so much damage too.

I'll get like 20 - 25 pilot kills with maybe 3 - 5 titan kills as Ronin, but with Scorch maybe half that.

If I take nuclear explosion, I've probably used up my dash at that point and it takes so long to recharge.


Come on Respawn! Even Ogre had a single dash by default.

I play so that scorch is never out in the open. It's not his domain.

Why isn't there at least team balancing if there's not going to be skill based match making? Just joined a game in progress...

Surely, the team composition should be shuffled.

I've gotten background music to work again, had to reinstall the (Groove) app.

I personally only use Scorch on Complex (Attrition).

Also guys, I'm still looking for a couple more people to share their BH clips. I only have content from 3 people and I'd like as much as possible.

When do you need it by? I can probably throw some clips together tomorrow night.

Any specific scenarios or just Bounty Hunt clips in general?

Does that Tick clip I just posted count? Do you need the video of it?

For now, I want to focus on a Bounty Hunt montage.

It would be a good idea to save videos of all of your other clips in case someone wants to make another TitanGAF montage that has clips from other modes though :)

Once I have enough content, I'll produce it that day. Just remember to say your cash-earning clips or other cool BH stuff

(one poster sent a video where he used a Holo pilot in a bank, really cool)

Wow, so Bounty Hunt is basically dead in EUR in after hours. I have to play Attrition (84 a 5AM) or switch to New York ;( -- I think I'll just play R1 at these times instead.

Wait lol, I was thinking that was Bounty Hunt. Sorry. Maybe I have a Bounty Hunt clip somewhere.

You guys... What I did to win this game for my team was hilarious. I finished a wave of minions in B, and went the long way around to A (which had two Titans). I didn't even need a trap. I Nuclear ejected, stole like $400 or so, got in my new Northstar - ran a dude over (another $100), shot a cluster into a bank then made my way to the other bank, killing a dude on the way.

It was awesome.

I've found out what's causing the Mountain Dew codes to be repeatable... Rayme check your PMs so you might forward this to your team.

Yeah, I think the universal removal of dashes across all Titan-types did slow the overall game down a bit
Fuck I miss Stryder :(

Fuck man. The fact that no one's playing this game on PC combined with 95% of the playerbase being ass makes this a real bummer to play.

Thought I was going to put in work this double XP weekend but I haven't played more than an hour or two.

Aw man, I managed to bank over 700 in one go the other night, but got distracted and forgot to save the clip >_<

Will try and get something juicy while playing this week. Does it matter what's happening as long as the mode is BH, or are you after something specific?

I tried your aiming set up, Izuna, and it's 100% not for me. My thumbs aren't conditioned for fine motor control. I can't do any kind of small adjustments within a near firefight, which left me getting completely dominated. I'm very happy with the acceleration enabled by default with a higher sensitivity.

So long as something cool happens in BH, I'm interested!

Hmm, that's up to the response curve. I think it's better to move that setting to how you like, rather than allow acceleration. There's too much inconsistency for muscle memory to kick in.

Okay, I found something. It's rather ordinary though. That's the stuff of rage for the receiving end though.

I like that clip. Do you have it in ordinary video form? (preferably with sound)
