TITANFALL 2 |G2.1| "Whatever The Fuck That Means"

I bought that camo pack and all the camos look kinda crappy on her. She needs a solid color. I am using the pink on Ronin right now.

Yeah, my stats take a serious hit when I am her. I have a tough time finishing off Titans and I constantly do the most damage to a Titan only to get an assist in LTS. It seems like every time a titan ejects in the doomed state I never get the kill.

It's hilarious that as a Northstar main, I get the most mileage out of self-damaging close range, lol.

I got a good laugh last night after ejecting out of my Titan. The message said

"AVENGE ME!"

I dont always get a chance to read them but that was a pretty good one. GJ Respawn

I tried her for the first time(ish) now and I can only shake my head...

Hitting Pilots with NS is a pain in the ass cause you have zero splash and curvage while the fucking Tone fucking shoots in the fucking general direction of a pilot and fucking everything fucking works for her.

Haha, I believe it. I am probably yelling shit! fuck! damnit! more often with her than any other Titan.

Maybe Respawn could take a page out of Rainbow Six's book and allow Northstar to lean around corners. That would be cool.

Switch Tone and Northstar's wall and tether. I would be okay with the pilot slaying 40mm cannon when she's left without her shield of invincibility from afar.

Benchy going to town with Tone.

2 questions after watching:

How long does the Salvo core missile barrage stay alive? Until it hits something? He does it twice where he fires straight into the air and the missiles keep moving forever until he targets something.


Also I've never noticed music in game and I play on a loud 7.1 system.

And tone has the worst Melee execution!

It's a joke when you are damaging a tone, long range, and she pulls a 180 and blindfires in your general direction, walking away with the kill on the first on second shot. Most of the time they cant even see me on the killcam. Don't even get me started when her sonar it up. I don't care if she had that as her specialty but it's one of the many things she's great at. Very little effort is required to do well as tone, compared to the other titans.

Because you use tone. : )
Sry. Double post

I use Ronin. In fact, I can use any Titan and win. Titan battles are like chess - strategy plays a big role. Normally, I am about 3 steps ahead of everyone when it comes to predicting movement and actions.

Not trying to brag, but I played a TON of strategy games back in the day. Most people use Titans like idiots.

Tone is balanced, and the people complaining simply don't like her. That's the truth of the matter. Northstar needs buffs if anything.
 
Hope we get some major updates to this game in the future. It's a shame that they haven't released a comprehensive dlc roadmap, quite disconcerting in fact. Lots of games have a similar free content dlc model, yet most of them make a point of outlining what fans can expect.

I really love the game but honestly I won't stick around if we're not waiting for anything good, if that makes sense. A single map at a time isn't enough, we need substancial expansions of content, Titan's, weapons etc. released for free if you want to hold the audience. I'm almost G10 now and while I'll keep playing this indefinitely I'm sure something else will come along and capture my attention aware from the game, if Respawn aren't injecting enough content.

There is said to be bi-weekly friday updates (last week should've been one but I guess we will get one this week) so I hope we will get new info soon :D

Oh yes please.
It's so sad that you have to be careful at max range against a Tone with Northstar (where she should shine ;_;)

Yeah, this is the killer. Tone can just plink plink away with the 40mm in a 15 shot magazine behind a shield. While if you miss one shot with Northstar it takes another 4-5 seconds to charge the shot back up so it will actually do some damage. Also, after you miss the shot you gotta check your surroundings again because you are most likely getting flanked.

The railgun travels too slow also, takes forever to get to the target and makes it tough to hit someone that is moving especially if you are in a tight window.

This is on sale for 31.99 (GCU discount added) at Best Buy. Ugh. That plus a 5 coupon I have brings it down to less than 30 including tax. I am so tempted to get this due to playing it during the free trial. It was fun but I fear sucking at it. I was decent on the ground where I didn't sit still. I would wall run and grapple behind people before they saw me and end up taking 3-4 out before moving to the next area but I really, really suck in titans.

Get it. You'll be alright.

Don't fear "sucking" it's called learning.

You can be totally fine using your Titan passively with enhanced Titan Ai a Titan can really be strong against Pilots and Titans when you accompany it.

If you were able to take out groups of 3 or 4 and survive using those kind of tactics, you sound like a better player than me, and I feel like I'm not half bad at this game. With some Last Titan Standing practice under your belt, you'll be very familiar with all the TItans, and which strategies to use as and against them.

Its funny how every pro titanfall player and anyone good says too that tone is too versatile and good but you, a random (console?) player say naaah tone is fine and balanced because I win most scrub tones in pubs with it?
 
That is a really huge IF. To get a full charge you had to be zoomed in thus slowing your movement and mobility and the round had travel time making it even easier to miss at range as small movements could cause a total whiff. The plasma railgun needed to be hitscan but since it wasn't that made it completely inferior to the 40 mm.

If only the people working on it agreed and had then spent some of these last few years making it sing. >_>

Easy target; that can be true, but remember that North Star is a malicious long-range god. A sniper. It can do some truly evil shit with that hover in the right hands, in the right situations.

Even short range, you can pull off some nice ambush vectors & other surprises.

But sure; North Star is probably least effective at short range. Do not play rock-em-sock-em with Scorch.

So I wrote the above back in this thread http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1272121&page=4 and Rayme replied about the Railgun but what has been changed since TF1? It isn't hitscan, it still has a slow projectile speed, it still has dropoff and it still requires a multi-second charge up to do full damage. Maybe I'm not seeing the changes to make it "sing" but other people notice the change?

Tone is a better sniper than Northstar.

It's funny how you some random (human?) are making assumptions about my skill level and dedication to this franchise. Also, I don't recall Titanfall being picked up by MLG or any other esport league. Therefore there aren't any pro Titanfall players, just popular youtube folks. Secondly, anyone that is actually skilled at the game doesn't have problems with Tones. Nothing wrong with having a versatile Titan for beginners.

So, stop yapping and throwing baseless insults around. Tone has been nerfed twice already.

Buzz off.

P.S. Provide sources for "every"

It's not the biggest thing, but it makes me question the people that talk about the moderation here as if it's near perfect.

I just don't see why Titanfall gets the shaft here.

Grudges are held because TF1 was an Xbox console exclusive.

Railgun in R1 was horrible.
 
So I take it that Titans used to be as customizable as pilots in TF1?

Yeah, actually that was when I was done. I hadn't played for about 3 months, and he ends up calling my mobile (got my number from a mutual friend) about that set. My ex was going through an abortion, I go there after telling him I'd let him win, and I end up too late to make sure she wasn't alone the night she was in pain.

Straight up deleted my YouTube account after that.

He invited me to join when Heart of Gaming opened but I hadn't played at all since then.

I probably would have lost anyway, but he was rude af irl after I essentially walked from Putney to Piccadilly to give him the satisfaction. Realised I didn't like the FG community.

Nerf RL problems :S

What a sad story :(

Oh man, why did we go from ALL THAT to pre-defined selections? We're left with diminished options and a balancing issue where an all-around Tone is superior at jobs that were 'intended' for other Titans.

It is probably for the best. Give and take each Titan with a strength and a weakness. Tone and Northstar are the only issues right now imo.

I like the current system more, it just needs more balance tweaks

Damn, that's sad to hear. And I mean everything, not just what I quoted. I actually watched that stream and was rooting for you. But you weren't in the right state of mind like you said. But I'm glad you found another game you can be passionate about.

Whenever I get around to buying an Xbone, I'll definitely snag the original TF. Chassis, weapon, and ability selection seems heavenly!

The longer time to kill would be nice, too. In the last couple matches I just played, I died three times immediately after phasing out (screen was white and the vapors had already appeared), I guess from latency, but people can die so quickly, it's insane!

Agree. Roadmap is desperately needed. Hopefully , frontier defense is on there

It was a million years ago. Sorry for opening up, didn't mean to spoil the mood.

I'm such a mad man, I'm trying to finish this Montage before my studying.
 
You could try to fiddle with your console/pc settings (aka dns etc.) or your router to fix stuff like this :v
I did do that in between every match I played this morning, and it still gave me the bad speeds.

Despite all the crap I gave to my previous ISP (Comcast), I never had to do this sort of stuff with them to try and make my internet decent.
