TITANFALL 2 |OT| Don't Misgender Tone.
- Thread starter Joyful
- Start date
Their reasoning is fine by me I suppose although I was like "what" at first. Communication is the key... Sometimes devs won't actually tell you why they left details out so you're just left wondering.
Anyway small sample size but salvo seems to have gotten a damage nerf... Maybe even a nerf to it's ability to hit (locked on) targets at long range as well but I'm much less sure on that. I went for a couple hailmarys lol The missiles just never really tracked
I don't see the constant map hack, pulse, sonar changing with this update. They need to further address map hack most likely but definitely touch on pulse at the least... And I would have rather Tone got an adjustment to sonar... Only mark titans maybe?

It's fantastic they can do it on the back end without having to wait for shit cert on consoles. Tone feels the same to me. I played a few rounds and didn't die once.
I am confused. How does this remove the film grain?
Proud of this one. Not quite the trailer shot but I still freaked out.

I've never used the Xbox record that feature until this just happened. Holy shit.

Not really. Anything you purchase with credits remains unlocked when you regen. I've yet to spend any, actually.
Ok now i get the benefit.

Just played a game that we lost. During the epilogue, I called in my Titan to protect my teammates so they could escape. I melee killed an enemy Titan and ejected into the plane right at the end. It was so awesome. I love this game.
Any thoughts on PS4 vs Xbox One (S) versions? I heard the image quality is slightly better on PS4 but Xbox frame rate is better? I'm about to pull the trigger but haven't decided which version to get. I have a few more friends on Live than on PSN.

Spend it on the highest level stuff you like. You lose access to gear when you regen so it's a long trek back to the 40s. If you unlock it with credits, it's available at level 1.

First online shooter in awhile that keeps pulling me back because it is so damn fun. Really looking forward to devoting some time to the campaign but work keeps getting in the way.

Sounds like it's time to quit the job.

You unlock new banners, patches, and camos. Also, any items purchased with credits persist through regens.
Oh...Is it optional? I really dont care about banners or patches and I don't want to lose all my stuff.

So guys...the game is really good right ?...staring at it at the psn store

Yeah it's optional. You force regen your titans/guns and stuff but that has no negative effect.
The scrap is used to permanently buy items through regen though, so you can buy things you always use to lessen the downside.

The map hack nerf is a good start. I still think the pulse should only be for the person who activated it, but taking it down from being a true wallhack was a smart move.
Glad that Tone and Legion got nerfed. It was deserved. I hope it's not too harsh, but I'm also a really vindictive person when it comes to obnoxiously entrenched metas in video games, so I actually hope they're completely unusable.
There are. Thing is, they're for individual weapons and such, due to how merits work. You can see your progress on Pilots, Titans, and weapons in their respective camo menus. I wish we had some more stuff, but this is what we get for now.
You get to do it over again, but this time with a fancy number.

I might or might not be joking about that last bit.

Tried using satchels tonight. Two things I'm not too hot on:
-Doesn't kill spectres in one hit.
-The arming time before you can detonate charges feels too long. Makes them very unwieldy to use in a lot of situations.
There's something about the trigger pull animation on the detonator that's super fucking satisfying, but their effectiveness leaves a bit to be desired.

I am about halfway through Gen 3 with roughly 60 hours in multiplayer still not tired.
I'd really encourage people to branch out on weapons, loadouts, and Titans. Everything is viable in my experience so far.
Currently ranking up the Hemlock and after a little adjustment to my play style I am really enjoying it.
A frantic start to Attrition this one: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Dr Quincy M E/video/23175355

going in solo you'll also (most of the time) get paired up with other solo players it seems. if you go into a party of 2 or 3+ you'll go up against other parties.
this changes the game dramatically. playing with good players vs good players in something like CTF is a whole other ball game.

Made it all the way through Effect and Cause and the campaign is up there with DOOM for me this year. Went into multiplayer and... I kind of hate it. I might just need to get used to the speed and whatnot again but I loathe the TTK and general map design. So bland and spread out.
Yeah, I haven't even tried the objective modes for that exact reason. Just been playing Attrition solo. I can usually carry, but people are ferociously terrible today. Almost every game I joined was in progress with people getting wiped already so I was doomed to begin every game anyway.

Please let me kill a Titan as they're doing an execution, Respawn

Have Respawn hinted at when the first content drop will be? Angel City is December, so hopefully we get more when that lands.
The first pack was out in May for OG Titanfall, so 2 months after launch.

Nah, I'd hate to get punished for executing an execution.

That assembly line level holy shit...one of the best FPS levels I've ever played. Got big Portal 2 vibes from it too. I wish the bosses were tougher though, Ash had that sweet intro cutscene but then I killed her in under 10 seconds with the scorch core move so that was pretty anticlimactic.
Other than that, the game continues to be shockingly good.

So while I do agree with Respawn that them telling us what they changed about Tone and Legion would significantly alter the quality of feedback, what do you guys feel the changes are? I know Salvo Core got nerfed, which is... kind of an odd pick, but how's Legion?
A lot of the maps are awful, it's true. Crash Site and Complex stand out as particularly bad. But Eden, Boom Town, and to a lesser extent Black Canal are all pretty solid.

I use Dice Roll and the Titan turret can be handy. Pilot turret is even better though.
I agree. When I've had a Legion Core going and the enemy starts an execution, I get so frustrated. Haha.
That'd be terrible. If there's one thing I hate and I'm sure a lot of people do as well, is getting killed during a canned animation.

I'd never bother executing anyone if that way the case. Those animations take forever and paint a target on your back.

Low profile is extremely useful.
To get better speed you gotta bunny hop/slid to an extent. The maps are what they are unfortunately. There are some ok ones like Eden, but then there's Harvest which is like what were they thinking.
I'm in favor of letting people getting killing during it. You choose to activate it or not. Let it be a risk/reward type thing. You guarantee the kill, get a cool animation, and progress toward unlocks, but you risk getting killed yourself. It's dumb as shit to watch an enemy suddenly become invincible and have 3 people just sitting there staring at them waiting to play again.

Risk vs Reward
TF1 had it this way and worked fine. It quickly taught common sense, don't do it with other Titans around. Or do and die.
When you put it like that maybe it wouldn't be that bad.
