Well they already like to drop Reapers on unsuspecting titans

Actually, drop pods exploding titans if they hit would be pretty cool and add an additional layer of situational awareness.

Sitting behind a particle wall for too long? LEt's see how you like drop pod.

So has anyone figured out how to extract the loading screens for the multiplayer maps + campaign? There's some really cool artwork in there I wouldn't mind adding to my wallpaper collection.

Think Respawn will finally flesh out the lore in Titanfall 3?
Assuming EA even feels like funding it after it failed to compete against powerhouse IPs at similar launch dates

>>168420371

God, I hope so.

I posted on the forums a couple months back about possibly them starting a weekly lore news post thing like 343 do with Halo and Jayfresh said he'd look into it (He was the one who helped set up Halo Canon Fodder). A couple weeks later there was a post on r/titanfall by him asking for questions for a lore Q&A but since then we've heard nothing.

>>168420371
I hope TF3 is the fallout of mass legions of Titans turning on mankind and the Militia and IMC joining together with the last few loyal titans to try and keep humanity from being eradicated but maybe that's just me hoping Titanfall is the beginning of Warhammer 40K

>>168420753
i thought that titans were basically kinda like machines/ai for "special forces" kinda missions? they are not an end all war machine, a regular tank would destroy them and we even see in the last level in tf2 campaign that titans are easily destroyed from orbit.
remember that space warfare is a big part of titanfall 2 lore, we just dont see it. so titans turning on mankind would result in them getting blown the the fuck up by bombing runs from the air or from orbit

>>168420753

they were hinting towards something of that nature at the end of Titanfall 1. MAss amounts of IMC personnel were defecting to the Militia cause, leaving an army primarily comprised of spectres, led by Spyglass and R&D making the Stalker, Reaper and Simulacrum. And of course Spyglass was the vice admiral.

Like many things, I was really disappointed with how they didn't pick up on that in T2. I hope this blackwashing(?) of the IMC to be the space nazis doesn't continue in the third game.

>>168421227
>they are not an end all war machine,
Then what were the "Titan Wars"?

>>168421652
i dont know. is there any backstory on that? all i could find was a very brief synopsis on it. titans were initially construction vehicles right? maybe it was a time of mass arming of titans to turn them into war machines.

>>168421227
Well if the Titans were to turn on humanity chances are it would go Skynet style; self-awareness taking control like a virus, infecting every computer system available. If Titans were to go rogue, chances are their AI would reach into the ships in orbit and vent every human out the doors (kinda like how GladoS nerve gassed everyone after a picosecond of awareness). That's what's always kept my interest about galactic civil war; EVERYTHING is run by computers. If a galactic empire suddenly wasn't able to use FTL travel, that empire would fall apart overnight.

And that's just a few Titans my man. Imagine literally thousands and thousands of Titans being deployed en masse from space, each of them no doubt more advanced do to the rogue AI controlling them, moving in tactical formations unencumbered by human error. Whole worlds purged of life to be made into factories into making more Titans, which in turn take over more worlds, which leads to more Titans, all run with unequaled efficiency by ever advancing AI..

God it gets me so hard thinking about this stuff.

>>168421806
>And that's just a few Titans my man. Imagine literally thousands and thousands of Titans being deployed en masse from space, each of them no doubt more advanced do to the rogue AI controlling them,
is there even that many titans in existance? ive never heard of kind of number stating how many there are.
still, thats just assuming that AI could overtake all of human;s computer systems. i imagine people would be smart enough to have safeguards and failsafes in place for events like this. and again, we saw how easily a titan is destroyed from orbit, so unless those titans have a big ship of their own in orbit to protect them, theyd be swiftly destroyed i imagine.

Titans were originally civilian vehicles later converted for the war effort. They're used for a wide variety of professions like construction, loading, shipping, search and rescue, etc.

Also, I'm the guy who made that image you posted. I'm currently uploading the new version with a lot more info to imgur to link here, as that one is way out of date.

>>168422079
Well of course we've got safeguards man, but those only work until the computer thinks around them. That's how it goes in pretty much AI apocalypse scenario.

>is there even that many titans in existance? ive never heard of kind of number stating how many there are.

Maybe not, but imagine how many could be made if you had to spend literally zero resources on anything human related. No food to be grown, no cloths to be made, no politics to squabble over. All of the manufacturing of all the worlds under human control could be repurposed into pushing out Titans.

>we saw how easily a titan is destroyed from orbit, so unless those titans have a big ship of their own in orbit to protect them, theyd be swiftly destroyed i imagine.

And those ships are run by computers right? I'm just assuming this rogue AI can worm it's way into any system quick enough to take over it, again that's how it goes in science fiction. Humans wouldn't be able to bomb the Titans away because the ship turned off its oxygen supply. Or warp drive jumped into a star. Or opened the screen doors and everyone got sucked out into space. The whole point of an AI taking over is the vastly complex machinery we rely being not only worthless but actively used against us. It'd be cavemen with clubs vs Titans in the best case scenario.

>>168422442
neat, i look forward to it.

>>168421227
I was thinking about this today, and Im a little skeptical about the tank part. Theres a reason we dont see tanks in TF1 or 2, because theyre obsolete. Probably because shield exist; All a titan has to do to take down a tank is block its fire and dance circles around it.
I see Titans as the new form of artillery; theyve essentially replaced tanks and armored combat vehicles.

Is there a list of what provides specific exp and how much of it? Looking to get dark stoic on all titans ASAP.

>>168422518
sure i get it, in the scenario the titans would win if AI took over. i dont think its like this in the titanfall universe. i forget where i read it, i think the artbook, but the IMC titans are not like vanguard class titans, ie they dont bond or link or have protocols to protect their pilot. they are more disposable machines than a machine with a powerful AI. so i dont think there would be that many titans for an AI to control if it took over. only the militia creates vanguard class titans, and even though they are growing, they are still not that large as far as i know.

>>168422518

>points on manufacturing

Well we saw the capabilities of the World Foundry. The IMC have dozens if not hundreds of solar systems' worth of resources at their beck and call. There's a reason why they were phasing out human soldiers in favour of spectres.

>rogue AI

>>168422793
Well I'm no computer doctor but it seems like the Titans not having AI themselves would only make it easier for some master AI to take control of them. Even if they don't have AI they still have computer systems running them, which can be taken over.

>>168422851
I was gonna point this out too. They have massive, kilometer deep bases made solely for manufacturing giant battle simulation domes like Lego. Imagine entire planets of those solely dedicated to making Titans. Tens of thousands of these incredible war machines daily would probably be a huge understatement if Spyglass went rogue.

>>168422975
Its been a while since I played TF1 so excuse the misinformation. Point still stands though.
Thanks for pointing that out.

>While the IMC considers its Titans and Pilots to be interchangeable and disposable, the Militia views each of its new Vanguard Pilot-Titan units as a long-term investment. As a result, an experienced Vanguard Titan-Pilot team is far more flexible and deadlier than any single IMC Titan and Pilot on the Frontier.

>>168424516
The Militia are the "heroes" of the story.

>>168425978
Only because the storys were told from their perspective. Think of Titanfall 1
Militia blows up a planet.
Titanfall 2
Militia blows up another planet and then have a Top Gun montage of highfiving each other

>>168422851
>created by /u/BaconShelf
I want [RDDT] to leave.

>>168426964
You're mischaracterizing Titanfall 2. That game was the Militia stopping the IMC from using a literal planet killer weapon on an inhabited planet, the byproduct of stopping the attacking being the inadvertant destruction of the uninhabited planet the game takes place on. The Militia, at no point, willfully attempted to blow up Typhon. Typhon's destruction was the result of the IMC's weapon backfiring.

>>168426964
>>168427198
Don't forget Marder's "human life is expendable" speech.

>>168427198
Blowing up a planet to end a gigantic war. But now the war machine can continue thanks to jolly old Militia

>>168427326
He's right though.

>chug two monsters and a pepsi before playing
>go so fast I fly into the future
>Titanfall 5 is sick brehs

I cannot stop, help

>>168427435
Just because the planet is the Militia's unofficial HQ doesn't justify the willful extermination of the entire planet. Marder also said that if hte Militia refused to surrender, then he would continue destroying planets until they capitulate. That is a level of violence and callousness that should not be tolerated.

>>168427816
Why not? Human life is expendable; ending the war would save millions of people on the core worlds and IMC troops.

>>168424516
What if at some point in the storyline it diverges, like say a raid on x goes bad and you and your titan get stranded and you have to survive? Maybe like 5 minutes and the ship arrives to save you. But if you don't evac right away the ship gets destroyed, then after that point when you "die" you come back as one of those robo-pilots working under spyglass?

I'm super new but I got Legion immediately because he was the absolute coolest in the campaign and I'm having a lot of fun with him in MP. Once I start unlocking the specific kits for him, what's the best to run with him?

>>168428862
Double power shot and extra dash. Accept no substitutes

>>168428862
Turbo Dash is damn near mandatory on the Ogres, since you want at least some sort of mobility. As for Legion-specific kits, your best options are either Extended Ammo Chain (100 -> 140 bullets) or Hidden Compartment (1 -> 2 Power Shots). Both have their uses.

>>168428862
The only unfortunate part of legion is that he has only one viable kit. Hidden compartment and dash. Posters who say otherwise are liars

>>168429216
I prefer Overcore. It guarantees that you get your core to 100% before needing to reload at all which puts some nice pressure on enemies.

>>168427136

I originally posted it there because there were people asking what happened in the first game.

>>168428993
>>168429053
>>168429216
Ah, bit of a shame there isn't much variety to him but honstly if I get to be a big fat bulletsprayer of doom, I'm happy. I've been using dash already because every bit of mobility helps my thicc ass survive. Double power shot sounds awesome too I'll slap that in when I get it.

Nuclear eject seems like it's for nerds.

>>168430525
Nuke is only worthwhile on Ronin, and only then because he's always in your face/extra dash on a stryder is shit. As for Legion, most of his kits are viable actually, its just that double power shot outclasses them because being able to drop two shotgun blasts in a row is just devastating.

>>168430675
Doesn't the extra dash slow down ronin's dash regen?

>>168428880
Nevermind, found it.

>>168430829
Yes. 1-2 dashes=6 seconds for one to recharge, 3 dashes=8 seconds. So its better to use a different kit on Ronin and Northstar.

>>168430976
>So its better to use a different kit on Ronin and Northstar.
I'm tired of this meme, turbo on light titans can be very useful
Your capacity goes up, you can use a dash and still have 2 more (normal max) while still recharging
Minimizing the time you spend at full charges so you never waste time that could be spent recharging an extra dash already compensates immensely for the longer charge time
Not to mention the option of having a full 3 dashes can be a life saver for northstar, though ronin is a bit less important because he also has phase dash

>>168432369
this
it'd be an actual problem if the DISTANCE of your dashes were reduced, but it's not

>>168432369
>>168432448
Its less actually bad, and more that it actually ENABLES you to run something else, since extra dash is pretty much mandatory on everything else, although overcore could be argued for on atlas chassis.

>>168432847
That's the main argument. Turbo Dash isn't a bad option, but there's other options.

So whats the math behind trap pilots being faster?

What do I spend credits on? My favorite weapon in the campaign was the R97 and it unlocks at 41 which is a bit away. Was thinking of dumping them on that.

>>168444048
Low profile.

>>168444048
Youll get credits fast, so its no big deal what you spend them on. Buy your favorite guns so that when you regen you dont have to wait to get them again.

>>168444048
Do you have Low Profile? If not, buy that.
Then, you can buy all the Titans, since they're the cheapest buys in the game (for good reason).
After that, you can get WHATEVER YOU WANT.

How do you stick when moving at hyperspeed 20 feet above the map?

>>168449156
It helps to put on the ordinance expert perk; itll show the arc for the softball as well as grenades.

>>168449721
>>168449156
you dont need the ordnance expert perk for the softball to show its arc in ADS, it always does that.

>>168449721
Softball shows the arc by default when you aim down the sights

Out of all the grenadiers, cold war seems the most inconsistent. I use the other three more often than any other weapon in the game but I can't bring myself to use the cold war. Because I can more consistently kill with the softball, epg, or SMR.

In addition, it feels weaker against titans than all three of those, though I may be wrong.

>>168450035
weird, i feel the exact opposite. i play all 3 as well, in terms of reliability, i feel its: cold war>softball>epg

epg is last for me because the projectile speed is so incredibly slow. im not good enough to land many direct hits with it, and the slow speed makes it not a great anti-titan weapon imo.
cold war is pretty good against titans as long as you can land at least 3/4 of the projectiles consistently. theyre the fastest projectiles of the grenadier class, so it makes hitting them much easier. though its not anywhere near as good as the SMR against titans.

I never use ADS (EVA main).

I've seen a lot of EPG (I think that's the name of it) these last few weeks and I'm sorely tempted to try it.

How's the hipfire/close range game? I only like going fast and in close quarters with gunrunner.

>>168450291
For me, its SMR>Softball>EPG>Cold War for reliability. SMR gets top in that because of its titan damage/the fact that you don't need to compensate for overly slow projectiles or bullet drop at most ranges against pilots. Softball is my bae, nothing beats the feeling of a stick. As for EPG, I played a lot of Tribes 2, Vengeance, and Ascend, so its easy enough. I just treat it like a spinfusor and its great.

The cold war though, I dunno. I like the design and the way it works, I just can't consistently kill pilots with it. four seperate projectiles result in inconsistency on splash damage, so it feels weaker than the other 3.

EPG has perfect accuracy. You will never need to ads, ever. If you've ever played any tribes game, it's a spinfusor. As for close range, its an explosive so you'll die if you misjudge it and take too much splash damage. Try it out with gunrunner and fast reload, its a really good feeling landing a body shot while going fast and instagibbing some poor guy.

>>168450660
>The cold war though, I dunno. I like the design and the way it works, I just can't consistently kill pilots with it. four seperate projectiles result in inconsistency on splash damage, so it feels weaker than the other 3.
i think out of all the grenadier weapons, having the high ground matters most with the cold war. if youre above or directly above an enemy, it makes landing all projectiles incredibly easy. i dunno how much youve played the cold war, but over time you can learn to control the spread to a degree. now and then i still get shitty encounters where i empty the magazine and the enemy still has a sliver of hp, but for the most part i kill pilots in 1 or 2 shots now.

the separate projectiles definitely make it harder to hit people going fast though, so i can see why you would feel that way.

Not true at all. EA was just retarded to think it could compete with powerhouse franchises like BF and CoD at the same launch date. That said, since TF wasn't an instant blockbuster, I'm sure EA is stupid enough to trash the whole franchise instead of make better marketing decisions.

how can you be in this general and know so little about the game?

The Titanfall IP is owned by Respawn alone. EA is *only* the publisher, and won't be doing any gobbling. Titanfall 3 could be on steam.

>>168472916
do you have any idea why titanfall 2 is not on steam? the pc playerbase could definitely use it, and surely respawn must realize that having it on steam would bring in so many more players

>>168473124
Because Titanfall 1 did well enough in EA's eyes that it was worth publishing 2. OR Respawn had an agreement with EA.

>>168472916
I believe its a possibility for 3. Note that the first game was Microsoft only, because thats all that was in the contract. So now 2 is on every platform. If its not a breach of whatever contract Respawn has going with EA, and given that they're probably very unhappy with EA botching the launch, its quite possible that 3 could have a different publisher/be on steam.

>>168473124
Because EA is the publisher, which means it'll be on their shitty steam knockoff. Simple as that.

>>168473124
Because EA is contracted to publish it. Not sure why, since it obviously is the entire reason for the fucked launch.

But they're not necessarily the publisher of the entire series, is the point I'm trying to make.

>>168473363
>>168473414
>Because EA is the publisher, which means it'll be on their shitty steam knockoff. Simple as that.

>>168455824
>Reddit

>>168473573
Those games were on Steam prior to Origin. EA is going to force the games they publish onto Origin. Simple business there.

EA fucked Titanfall 2 plan and simple. Especially since they knew they were putting BF1 out at the same time.

>>168473786
>EA fucked Titanfall 2 plan and simple
yeah that much i know. just kinda weird though, theyd proably make more money in the long run if they put it out on steam. i know they want people to use their platform, but its currently struggling. i dunno, i dont understand this kinda stuff.

>>168472803

Is there a less weeby one?

>>168473414
Respawn owns the IP, not EA. Respawn gets to make Titanfall whenever it wants, and EA has to fight for the publishing rights. If EA wins, it goes exclusively on Origin.

>>168473892
EA wants to push its own distribution platform, just like Ubisoft and Uplay. They consider Steam direct competition, and if a game is ever put on Steam, then Valve gets a cut.

>>168473892
It is business 101. You have a software you want to push as a means of delivering a product. Instead of circumventing your own product and allow the game on a competitor's product you make it exclusive to your own product.

We can only hope Respawn is already in talks with someone, ANYONE, besides EA and Ubisoft for their future games.

>I mean, they've got nothing to lose now
they could lose more money. it is entirely possible that tf3 could have a worse release. i mean look at it, both games had terrible releases. people in this thread and other internet forums know the games are great, but this is just a VERY small minority.
the general public does not know this stuff. if they look into it, theyll see the first game sold well(it did right?), but quickly "died". second game sold like shit and is limping on. that doesnt make tf3 look very appealing.

this is all assuming tf3 will happen. yes i know about the titanfall 3 art thing and the respawn response to it, but lots of things get planned, and then changed. if tf2 doesnt pull a r6 siege type thing, there is probably not going to be a tf3. they cant make games without money.

>>168466941
Personally, that's my favorite scenario. So close it doesn't really matter who won, but you get to try the cool guy escape. It'd be better if they needed more than a titan or two to destroy the goddamn ship, though.

Using smart core and going ham as legion is so satisfying but I always feel dirty after using it. Particularly when I cancel one's eject.

But goddamn is it fun.

>>168490346
smart core is weird. i have the worst luck with it for some reason; its worse for me than even flight core. it is so satisfying, but everytime i get it, i seem to get ambushed by 2 titans and/or pilots. normally that might be good, more fuel for the fire, but of course my shield is always down at the time even though i try to save it.
its like the stars align everytime i get my core just to make sure i dont get more than 2 kills.

what is your legion loadout like? im having trouble deciding a perk. currently swiching between 2 powershot and extra ammo

I just want to see a less black and white portrayal of the Militia and IMC

I have said this before and I will say it again, I seriously prefer how everything about Titanfall 1 was a bit more grounded and not as... adolescent feeling.

It's difficult to explain, but I don't like how TF2 uses more tropes and is more predictable in so many ways. Hell I even heard the IMC faction guy's voice in my head exactly as it was before I even actually heard him speak.

I really don't like how titans have become so characterized. Almost like something out of a cartoon. The way Scorch stands like a sumo wrestler and even moves like one and the way titan death animations are so dramatized and the sort of thing a young teen would talk of like it's the coolest shit. "and then the titan jumped into the air and shoved it's big gun into the other titan's cockpit as it tried to crawl away!". I prefer Titans being portrayed as just machines of war.

If this shit gets any more adolescent and generic, we will see Titan abuse in TF3 and I am not down for this series to go that obvious route.

Although this isn't to say Titanfall is generic, it just got a few ticks on the generic scale from the first game and I don't like that.

>>168424516
Also this. I would even love to see a campaign that covers two sides of the war. Hell I would love to see two main characters from both sides who hate each other for totally valid reasons.
>IMC pilot / merc who tore up an outpost because it was cover to some serious outlaws.
>Person who lives on said outpost along with several others had no idea about outlaws
>Guy you play as from militia is a survivor of the outposts glassing
>Becomes pilot
>IMC guy who took part in glassing has been a victim in the past to pirates and the like who happen to form certain parts of the militia.
>Both the IMC and Militia pilot we follow have a personal encounter and want to kill each other.

>>168490665
PT2

Hell I would love to see those two reconcile with each other and maybe even be the beginning of a new faction.

Literally all I wanted to add to my previous post.

>>168490553

Double powershot and dash. Try and use the short range mode as much as possible as you get more damage per shot (Long range has half the damage or short), and the shotgun blast is fantastic at picking off pilots who are trying to poke with the charge rifle or MGL. It also builds core quickly when used on Titans.

As for smart core, try and use it when you're running out of ammo or are about to finish off a Titan to ensure a kill on an ejecting pilot - you get unlimited ammo during the core so just hold down the trigger and don't stop firing, as you'll rack up a bunch of minion kills which are free points for your team.

Otherwise, keep Legion at close or long range - he excels in those roles but will suffer in mid range, particularly when dealing with tones.

If you can, use your dash to get around a scorch or ion shield, as you should get just enough time to powershot them before they can turn to face you.

>>168490665

This only annoyed me more when I read the art book and saw the page about how the fold weapon was originally gonna be a portal for the IMC to bring their reinforcements from Earth but they scrapped it for a not-death star.

>>168490863
thanks for the tips. one last question: does gunshield lock you into firing mode? i notice i can put my gun down with it up, and sometimes thats not good(nuke ejecting ronin for example). is there a way to cancel the shield or lower my weapon so i can start sprinting?

>>168491336

Gunshield locks you into firing, so no melee or sprintimg. You need to time it well and keep your dash handy in case a nuke eject comes at ya'.

FrothyOmen has a video on how to play legion that i'd check out, too.

is there a fastest way to level a weapon? do you get more xp in certain game modes for instance? or is it all just kill/assist based?

Is the double take objectively the best gun in the game? It's so easy to get headshots and if you somehow miss their head you shoot them again for a two shot kill

FUND IT
This is what titanfall's lore and story needs. Not some uninspired resistance VS evil empire shtick respawn is trying to do.

Reminder to everyone here that Respawn isn't allowed to work on their game because EA wants it to die so they can have an example of how bad games perform when they're not stuffed with loot boxes and microtransactions.

This is the best we're gonna get. As someone who kicked the Dota monkey, companies with active playerbases only ever not do anything for two reasons; they're so big they don't have to worry about a thing regardless (Valve) or they can't (Respawn).

>2 months for a modified CTF and a new map
>No nerfs to the only 3 weapons used by 90% of the playerbase in the mean time

That's either extreme incompetence or not being allowed to do anything.

Don't believe me but if you really think EA wouldn't fund and kill a game just to secure future battlefield sales you're much to trusting of geriatric gaming tyrants.

>>168502164
Funnily enough, UBISOFT of all companies is beginning to follow (most of) Respawn's model. All of For Honor's gameplay-related DLC (maps and modes; characters are handled a little differently) will be released free for everyone, and there was mention that Ubisoft will start adopting this model for its future games.

Whoever designed the smart pistol and thought it was ok to pass as weapon in an FPS needs to be fucking shot in the street

>>168505707
Now they just need to make the game worth playing for free and they'll have it made

>>168505780
>Only available as a boost
>Replaces your secondary
>Only has two magazines
>Requires three locks on a Pilot, which takes two seconds of uninterrupted chasing and maintaining vision
Everyone already shitstormed about the Smart Pistol in TF1, when it was a basic loadout weapon. You missed the boat.

>>168505932
Also,
>Player is explicitly warned when someone is acquiring a lock on them, similar to a Titan getting locked by an Archer

>>168505932
this, smart pistol is fucking fine
it's irritating to be locked onto with it, but all you need to do is break line of sight to reset the lockon, then pop back out and kill them while their brains try to figure out whether to swap to primary or wait to lock on

Honestly I like the smart pistol in concept - giving a way for new players or people not usually into FPS to not get utterly stomped is a nice idea.

Just a shame there's no real way to make it work in reality.

It's not that. People are just tired of CoD clones where you run around like a headless chicken shooting with high rate of fire weapons, no matter how much wallrunning and high tech gadgets you might put in. Notice how BF1 is doing well, Siege too, same for OW, hell even Team Fortress 2 is still a thing.

partial locks still land so you can mash the trigger three times

not sure if this was how it worked in tf1

>>168481761
I'm kind of glad, just because it keeps those guys out of Attrition. I remember the first year of Titanfall 1 was hell because your teammates would never call in their titans or they would call in auto-titans because they refused to do anything except run and around and die over and over as a pilot.

>>168508510
Nope
If you fired before the full lock, the lock would reset and the bullet would instead go where your cross hair was pointed
So spamming trigger would just cause your bullets to be centered around the middle of the crosshair and none of them would hit any locked enemies

Titanfall 2's plot isn't as black and white as you're making it out to be. There's a lot of different factions in play: Apex Predators and Vinson Dynamics being some of the biggest aside from the militia and IMC. Every faction is only interested in what benefits themselves, and that includes the militia.
Titanfall 3 doesn't need something drastically different (desu a simple rivalry between an IMC and militia pilot would be too bland). It should emphasise the self serving nature of every faction involved.
>Apex and Vinson end their partnerships with IMC
> everybody goes to war with each other
>the militia lose sight of their original mission as defenders of the Frontier, they become just another army throwing soldiers into the fray
>the Frontier goes from being the prize of the war to a simple battlefield, everybody with a gun or a titan is getting involved
>colonists are the only ones getting fucked because they can't defend themselves
>you play as a colonist determined to go after the leadership in each of the warring groups who are destroying your home planets: militia, IMC, etc
>your character faces conflict throughout the story as he/she has to make use of titans, the weapon they blame for the current state of things
>your character questions whether they can really obtain peace through war and starts to wonder if their mission is absurd

It's just as clichéd as a straight rebels vs empire story.

>>168511717
It's still better than some star wars knockoff plot. The problem is that no one is willing to insert some original twists into it. I'd rather see a "every side has their own reasons" scenario, where one side gets a chance to win/wins because the player chose to fight for it in the end.

But... The 6-4 is a family.

>>168512478
I'm torn.

The campaign was good, but not for the reasons of intrigue or plot. It was good because BT was so perfectly written and implemented and the level design was intuitively challenging. BT stole the show, as did the warp level.

The background bullshit is fine as just that, but I'd rather keep the theme of an M rated version of The Iron Giant with deeper questions about AI and morality being explored if there's going to be any deeper plot development.

But it should all be secondary to MP content.

>>168512478
Ehhh I'm not a fan of alternate endings/decision based gaming. A story is supposed to be a solid thing with each scene fitting together with the scenes before and after it. If the ending is interchangeable then the whole thing wasn't very well built to begin with.

>>168493446
Attrition always worked the best for me. Headshot the AI over and over again and get plenty of pilot kills.

At least that's how it worked in Titanfall 1, the XP system is completely obscure in this game and I can't tell how much it's been changed.

I would love it if halfway through the campaign in Titanfall 3 your character is caught in a huge explosion. As it loads the next mission you're thinking "how does he escape from that?" Then 6 MONTHS LATER pops up on the screen and you see your character waking up in a lab in a sim body.
Players tend to get attached to their protags at least a little so it would really fuck with people.

>>168513503
Scorch is alot like a healer. If you play it people expect amazing plays out of you. Anything less leads to them shitting on you.
