Cosmetics, class based titans, more pilot abilities, more guns, and a single player campaign.
Bunny hopping was altered so now you need to be crouching when you hit the ground.

FIRST FOR IMC DID NOTHING WRONG
>>168831905
>one colony that's housing confirmed terrorists and defectors is razed while testing a new combat drone
the US literally used drones to destroy small towns in the middle east all the time.
the IMC haven't done anything wrong, save for Marder and his band of roving killers and that stupid fold weapon. they have every right to take back the land that they funded to fruition and provided resources for.
>>168832861
And then fucked off for a couple decades and allowed to become self-sufficient with no IMC input. And then had the gall, when they came back, to say "yeah this is ours now."
And they're surprised when the colonists told them to fuck off.

Let's not forget the planet fracking, the hostile takeovers, and the turning planets into giant factories
>>168833072
>don't do anything with the land for 30 years
>land now suddenly belongs to someone else
if they fucked off to an uncharted world it wouldn't have been a problem, but they stayed on IMC controlled worlds.

immoral but legal, immoral but legal and more legal
it's not like the IMC is blowing up fusion reactors on colonized planets like the Macallan did, which effectively rendered a quarter of the planet an uninhabitable pile of rubble, and atomized several kms of civilian and IMC housing.
This game's backstory has the depth of a kiddie pool and you guys arguing about space politics are putting way more thought into it than the actual writers did.
IMC = Bad corporate meanies
Militia = Cool underdog rebels (like in Star Wars, remember?)
That's all there ever was to the Titanfall universe. That's all anyone was supposed to get out of it. The factions exist as a collection of shooting-range targets with an absolutely minimal coat of paint on them. This isn't Spec Ops: The Line, nobody's trying to make you think, just get into a giant robot and shoot stuff.

>This game's backstory has the depth of a kiddie pool and you guys arguing about space politics are putting way more thought into it than the actual writers did.
is this a bad thing? people can speculate about what they want if it makes them happy. doesnt matter that respawn didnt make the best story or plot for single player or that its the most straight forward plot you can think of, theres still a backstory with gaps that can be filled in by player speculation. its fun.
I just started using some of the harder grenadier weapons. They're fun but they're also giving me a huge headache.
The round from the EPG just won't go any faster no matter how much I mentally will it to do so. Also people with 1 hp keep killing me
First for best boost
>>168835110
>never ever end up using it cause i always spawn in my titan
>>168835425
I'll often find myself hopping out, then just hopping back in with a battery in that case.
I only ever use Battery on Ion though, along with Overcore, because lasers.
>>168833239
>>168829863
This. Bullied a Tone from full health to death with my MGL and Phase Shift a couple of matches ago.
Top it off with Arc Grenades for maximum Bully
>>168834639
>>168834812
Titanfall is a pretty straight foward good vs evil narrative, but those sorts of stories have their place. I don't think it's a bad thing necessarily.
>>168835660
>>168835425
99% of the time its safe to hop out and activate the boost. ive only ever gotten killed once during it, and ive done that many many times
how much does mastiff benefit from amped weapons? ive never used it before so i dont know how often the spread hits the pilots how many times, so the google docs chart isnt much help. does it reliably turn mid range kills into 1 hit kills?
im trying to level the mastiff as fast as possible if that matters, so if amped weapons is at all useful, id rather take it over battery or diceroll
EVA is my Raifu for Laifu.
>>168836415
>using the ez mode shotgun for shitters
>>168836594
I thought I was hardcore for getting mine Gen3
>>168836594
I tried the whole Grapple Mastiff thing for a little, and I felt like I was crippling myself, even with decent skill at grapple.
Every time I fire the mastiff it's a toss up, instagib the guy across the map or do 5 damage when all pellets hit.
>G2 all titans but tone
sorry tfg, it is tone time
>>168837012
The Mastiff is definitely a learnable skill, and I'm sure that if you put some more time into it you'd be able to top scoreboards. But ultimately it'll never be as good as the Eva-8. Its real use is to style on people.
>>168836594
any mastiff tips? do you run amped weapons with it generally?
like 90% of all grunt dialogue comes from the first 5 minutes of the first campaign mission
>>168837840
Nope, Backup Battery or bust
Only tips I can really give are to ADS on everything but majorly close range, and remember that it has an absurdly long two-shot range
>>168838226
>tfw they didn't just reuse grunt dialogue from the first game

>>168838268
alright thanks. backup battery because of preference or amped weapons is just not that effective with the mastiff? sorry for the interrogation, its my first shotgun im leveling and im having a little difficulty. like the other anon said, some shots seem to do barely any damage, others are 1 hit kills.
>>168838562
>>168838949
Mine's at 10.x now, I'm gen 10ing the Softball now
>>168839251
Battery Backup because damage to shields doesn't grant enemies core or Titans build, so it gives you a bit of a head start to getting your core before an enemy Titan in duels
Amped weapons is okay, but the risk of dying while using it isn't worth the boost. Ultimately, the best teacher for using the Mastiff is experience
>>168839297EVA is the only pilot weapon I really love. So I'm at a loss as to what level next.
I like weapons that are absolutely unmatched in their niche - EVA'S only problem is vs a hemlok cocksucker.
>>168839251
I personally like to bring battery along to either help myself or a teammate.
Sometimes it's better to give away a batter to keep the enemy team from scoring a kill on another player.
Also helps build your titan meter and gives them core as well.

Softball is unmatched in its niche of getting you "fan"mail/salty users in chat

>tfw massive influx of tone and devotion users in multiplayer
what the fuck happened? it's never been this bad
>>168840160
maybe they saw it on the chopping block and jumped on it before they lose it?
>>168840160
Read the patch notes. Tone and Devotion are getting long-deserved nerfs, so they're savoring the last bits of power they can get.
Kiddy noob question on VPK editing, could it be liable for a ban, or do Respawn not enforce it unless it is overly cheaty? So editing item descriptions is fine?
>>168840027
desire to use softball intensifies
>>168840160
Almost all of my games range from 25-50% tone/devotion, at a minimum.
>>168840160
dunno, its been like this for like 2-3 weeks now. probably some youtubers made a video about the devotion and whatever else. every single game now there is at least 2+ devotion users, usually with a-wall. i hope the upcoming nerf is enough
>>168840252
doesn't seem to be
>So editing item descriptions is fine?
absolutely
>>168840160
I've stopped playing until the next patch
pretty sick of it every round desu
>>168840160
They're getting the last use of them before they get nerfed to reasonable levels
>>168840160
I've noticed that as well. Loads of people using Devotions. Probably just getting hours in before the Nerf.
okay yeah mastiff is definitely not my thing. this feels like a weaker mozambique
>>168835923
Hmm, think I'll slap it on my anti titan loadout then. High flying can give some quick saves but overall it is dangerous from what I've gathered to show your ass in the air when titans are in play.
>>168841449
Mozambique is way more enjoyable
>>168841898
yeah its fun, and much more consistent.

I think I just found a new favourite tactic for stupid players
anyone else use tacti-kill on their primary and spam A-walls?
>>168842278
Fully 50% of console players.
>>168840372
it's not like they pose much of a challenge if you know what you're doing
but knowing that you're at a constant disadvantage while playing versus the people that shamelessly use these crutches makes the gameplay experience that much more displeasing
>>168842330
Xbone player here, I can't remember the last time I saw an A-wall in attrition. Everybody I see is using cloak, stim and grapple
>>168842330
>>168842537
im on ps4 and never see it
mostly a mix between stim,cloak and a couple grapples
>>168842537
>>168842614
somehow i find this hard to believe. or are console players finally learning how to use the movement system better?
>>168844548
I don't know what your experience of console players is but I've never seen them to be as bad as PC players insist. I think you fell too far into the Consoles r shit meme
>>168844548
there really isnt much difference between PC and console players
with that said im the only person ive ever seen use the grappling hook to fly up ontop of the level and run over out of bounds areas and sneak up behind people
>>168845068
>i've never seen a tactic that helps my enemy go unnoticed.
Think about it.
>>168844913
>>168845068
i dont play consoles so i guess you guys know better. though i have seen streams and youtube videos, and even people saying that slidehopping is a glitch and shouldnt be used.
>>168845671
im thinking i would run into someone up there at some point, ill let you know what it happens
>>168845761
Slidehopping is technically a bug. But to get any worth out of it you have to be F A S T in the first place, so I think its fair and fine.
>>168838656
Ive watched this ten times and cant figure out how that guy hit you.
Just lag?
>>168846119
it looked like when he came off the stairs the melee did the kick animation and from what i can tell playing the kick has some huge ass hitbox
>>168846074
bug or not, its an intentional gameplay mechanic. it is shown in the tips and i believe in the multiplayer faq/tips menu. also on the titanfall 2 website somewhere i think
>Read FNN
>Nessy still not found in Blood and Rust.
Find this creature /tfg/.
>>168846930
it was found hours after the patch notes by reddit
So, Phase Shift nerf when? A free "get out of jail" card is absolute bullshit, two charges is even worse.
I'm starting to think all of the Miltia's good pilots died on Demeter
>>168847690
Stomp those little feet harder.
>>168847690
ronin has shit health so you should be able to out damage him
>>168847690
Consider the live fire patch the last one for a while.
Most likely where it sits after live fire is where it will continue to sit.
Its really not as good as it seems anyways. No potential for going fast, and leaves a phase trail, so when you pop out your enemy knows where you are but you dont know where he is.
What its really good for is for use dodging titans as a pilot.
>>168847061

>>168850582
is this supossed to be in favor of console players learning or not? the guy recording seems fairly competent, though he doesnt seem to know how to slidehop, although he is trying pretty hard. the rest looks like what ive come to expect from most console tf2 matches.
>All other game types, dick around with different load outs

Grapple is your best pilot loadout?
>>168851006
https://youtu.be/w96-307NtP0
Different pilot, but is this any good?
>>168851006
Its actually a bit harder to slidehop on console due to having to hit the crouch button right before jumping again, right as you hit the ground. Hopefully when the new patch hits and we can hold to crouch it'll help make slidehopping easier.
My point is all you PC players act like you're constantly hopping or moving at 50+ which isn't the case at all from what I've seen. Then conversely you act like console is basically just COD, which isn't the case. Make more sense?
>>168851827
that is indeed slidehopping
>>168851910
i undestand its harder on console players to move fast, im not saying they are unskilled. they make due with the tools they are given(gamepad).
yes there are exceptions, there are slow pc players, slow pc games, fast console pilots, etc. but in general, most matches on pc are going to be a bit "faster" than console matches.
>>168838562

I-I'll play with you anonINV VolatilexRaptor
>>168852160
I agree with that, but it invariably turns into >console >fast HURR DURR
>>168851006
rofl so at the 3:00 mark I guess I'm not slidehopping? So what would you call that since its not me sprinting...
>>168852649
im not gonna open the video again but ill take your word for it that you are slidehopping, you just do it inconsistently during parts of the video. the other guys video posted shortly after is a good example of a consistent slidehop
>>168838562
Fast game
Slow thread
>>168853985
this is nothing
>>168853985
It's a mixed blessing because it means people are actually playing and only posting in the thread intermittently. Not like The For Honor general, which cranks up to maximum waifuposting and bitching and goes through a thread every couple of hours.
>>168852793
>Scorch kill a titan by just putting up his shield
>Did is considered balanced
nerfs fucking when? It shouldn't be able to kill a titan and should only deal 1/2 a titan bar at most or 1 if you get the titan perk.
>>168854156
To be fair, that game launched just last week, so it's still got that new game smell.
>>168854156
The waifuposting/smut got purged and the autism has been raging ever since.
On one side I'm happy it hasn't turned into /feg/, on the other the autism we got in its place is even less productive.
>>168854181
poor tone didnt do nuffin
>>168851729
Its not Thursday or Friday. No jolly Brit moustache pilot for you today.
>>168854183
by doing so, you sacrifice your only defense. balancing damage and defense with flame shield is important, scorch is ogre chasis and slow as fuck. without flame siheld, you are vulnerable to pilots
>>168854183
If let Scorch be that close to you it's all your fault.
>>168854183

ohh you are right. i was unable to dash while blocking because i had block on caps lock. i can dash while holding Q to block though.
this is a dilemma now, cant really move properly with my finger on Q, but i can with caps lock. maybe ill change my keybinds around.
thanks for the correction
>>168855628
With what? The only kind of "meta" currency in this game is credits, and you'll have so many of those as to render them worthless by the time you're gen 3 or so. Hell, I'm not even Gen X yet and I have literally every patch, banner, and pilot camo that can possibly be obtained from Advocate Gifts or the Black Market. There's no rewards left to give me.
Sometimes you lose games. That's just how it goes in team-based shooters.

Does Ronin have the same melee damage as all the other titans? I know the broadsword has extra range.
>>168859079
It's definitely longer, but I feeeeeeeel like it actually has a more awkward windup than the usual titan punch?
good matches, fellow fast friendsremove ion, why is laser shot so broken sweet christ
>>168859079
Ronin does 625 damage with melee, while other Titans do 500
The Devotion is a pain in the ass to use, now that I'm trying to level it. This spin-up time is the death of me, and it's hard enough trying to hit everyone else going fast and gibbing me with the Softball.

Titans in this game have implied genders. BT is referred to as a male, and Titans have male/female voices. Scorch, Ronin and Legion are voiced by male VAs. Ion, Tone and Northstar are voiced by female VAs.
Unlike traditional vehicles, Titans are sentient and do have distinct identities.

>>168869584
That didnt stop drawfags from making titan babes.
Anyways, if you think that the gender is dictated by voice alone youre implying that simply by downloading another voice I can switch the gender of my titan. Titans obviously dont have genders, and so Im going to keep with the usual style and refer to them as feminine (political correctness obviously be damned).
>>168871557
this is a really flimsy defense to justify that you want to fuck a manly robot
>>168871609

Just played a match versus a couple [RDDT]s. They were using a variety of titans, but one in particular was like a gen 5 tone and was being really fucking annoying. I told him how complacent he's being when he defaults to his meta-machine and he gets all smarmy, tells me to go to overwatch.
I was grappling around at a MILLION miles per hour while this fuck jerked off in his personal tone bubble and tried his hardest to ruin everyone's time, and he tells me to
be
slow
Christ, I can't be dealing with the game until the patch comes out. If matches are still 50% tone/devotion, I can't play anymore. It was fun shredding them for a while but the sheer volume of them is becoming unbearable.

the fact that these titans look like they're having some sort of play-wrestling party in a corner of the map is what really sells this
Common Xbruhs let's fuck some shit up
>>168873619
In my experience: only if you still have shield after the melee hit damage is inflicted. Note how you have basically no shield left when he hits you: I'm betting the check for an execute happens right after you lose the shield to the melee damage.

mastiff is kinda growing on me. what sights to you guys use? what about ordnance? im running with stock iron sights and gstar right now.
have not used it enough yet to see if it works well with gravity star; do they work well together like gstar+mozambique?

ugh, tone is a boring waifu
have you even given the other titans a thought or do you really prefer that Tite Trash?
>>168875807
Mastiff does work with Gravity Star, and it can set up some pretty hilarious kills. As for sights, anything that doesn't zoom is probably fine (do shotguns even have access to zoom sights? I can't be assed to sign on). I use the holosight.
Guys help, I'm new and I can't stop using fire shuriken. Ever since getting it in the campaign I've stuck to it in MP when it unlocked. It's just so fun and useful.

this gun is fun as fuck lads, is it still important to run grav star with it? I remember people used to always pair the two pre-buff but it seems deadly enough now
>>168881916
still works well with gstar, even better than before considering both lstar and gstar were buffed. but since the l-star is a good weapon on its own now, you have space to pick another ordnance if it suits you.

Makes sense, it was pretty late when that retard started sperging out on how I'm aimbotting. Pretty funny because a bunch of similar idiots in other games have been accusing me of hacks using that fucking thing when I've just been applying easy prediction and actually being smart unlike a majority of those invalids.
>>168895889
Gotta say, I much preferred the old Smart Pistol design. The big dumb spikes in the front on 2's really don't do it for me.

Now you see that's where your wrong

Phase dash extends your lifespan a little bit, but I think he's the most useless titan when doomed. He can't use his core or any of his attacks without being in execution range.

Tone is so boring to play. I might not like Ronin but at least he's pretty fun to dash around and ninja people.

Guess this is my limit.
Unrelated but I jokingly walked the test with only a slide and one wallrun and finished at a minute; better than Briggs. How are Militia winning when their leader is so slow?
>>168920023
I was #3 at the end of the round, which was good enough imo.
>>168920023
You don't need to even be in combat to capture points. Going fast and staying out of combat is a valid strategy.
>>168919853
Arc wave bitch
It actually keeps people from getting close enough to execute you
Plus sword block mitigates a ton of damage, especially when sword core is active
If I'm doomed as Ronin and activate sword core, I can rush two legions with smart core halfway across the map and survive long enough to eject next to them
killing pilots with the railgun has gotta be the most satisfying way to kill pilots with a titan. melting them with gas cannisters comes in close 2nd though
>>168920578
you cant capture a point if its contested, ie an enemy pilot is also in the area. it must be clear of enemies.
>>168920679
It's pretty great
>>168919853
For you
>>168920858
That's why you go for the ones that aren't being contested.
>>168920679
Speaking of gas cans, does anyone know if they do damage on impact? I'm reasonably sure I hit a grunt in the head with one once because it made a great sound, but I was too busy shooting Thermite to notice if it hurt him. Anyone know if you can kill someone with a direct hit?

However, using a hitscan weapon during a gentlemen's grenadier match is inexcusable
>>168923453

>>168922279
why is coldwar only viable on 1-2 maps? :(

>>168925385
>>168924406
you need to stay in pretty specific parts of exoplanet for it to work, but i've top-fragged with it many times. Grapple is imperative, because of all the convex buildings you need to corner around, and to stay on the two cylinders for really long stretches. Those cylinders and the backside of the cave system are your domain, and make quick ventures out from there. Get to the tip top of the radio tower to rain down a kill or two, then get out because you'll always get sniped off.
>>168925780

You're right about Grapple though

>Fucking around not even trying
>Massive winning spree
Honestly most games i play lately revolve around me trying to get better at going fast instead of actually trying to get kills, those just happen naturally while im flying by and spot some moron camping a rooftop or a ledge

Is the volt completely useless? I just started using it to get it to G2 and I feel like I need half a mag on target before anyone drops. Headshots an absolute MUST
>>168928508

>Softball is reddit

>>168928760
On PC? It's eh now (I think)
On console it's garbage that never really needed nerfed, if you want to use a Hitscan SMG use any other SMG in every situationgimme back my laser smg Raifu Respawn
>>168929020
I ranked them by the amount of skill they take.
>>168928760
i would not pick the volt over any other SMG. the damage is so pitiful.
>>168928760
Just use the CAR or the R97.
>>168929327
>>168929571
Already got them to G2 except the R97 which is the current meta, so trying to avoid it

No, they were colonists who happened to be under the leadership of a defected IMC leader.

Out of all the grey moments in TF1 thats not the one to pick. At least blame it on Blisk or something.

>>168932219

Considering what the did to the volt, I dont think theyll be in the volt tier, they will probably be more balanced, not nerfed.
The devotion changes you gotta get a feel for, it might be too subtle and not enough of a tweak
>>168929083
I'll grant you that softball takes less skill to be half decent with than cold war or epg. But SMR is literally a rocket assault rifle. Its the easiest to use of all of them because you can use it like any hitscan weapon at indoor ranges, and the rockets are quick enough to deal with mid range with barely any leading.
>>168932219
Hopefully not
We'll have to wait and see but the changes look worthwhile. Im hoping for the best
Im also hoping that the devotion becomes an uncontrollable mess, because that would be so much fun.

There's a higher skill ceiling for individual play with shit like soldier/scout/demo, I can give it that.
In terms of teamwork and team composition. Listen I don't have any love for MOBA style games nessecarily, and I do respect the TF2 professional scene, I have to side with Overwatch even all it's flaws
>>168933253
It's ok to hate Overwatch anon. Lots of the autists on this board hate things when they get popular. But you hating it doesn't make it bad
>>168932785
The people who thought using it should spend half of Ion's energy, which leaves less energy for defensive options.
>>168933527
Lol dude, think whatever you want I reached rank 74 in season one then quit the game because it was a fucking dogshit slow ass game.
Can't believe I wasted my time and money on it before giving up.
I really, really want to get this game, but I'm worried about PC population. Is it a dead game?
>>168934164
It's not dead.
>>168934164
Playing it right now. Can find a game within 1-2 minutes on a Monday night
>>168934164
here we go again. everyone who thinks like this is part of the problem. pc pop is low, but its stable and youll have no trouble finding games.
if everyone who whined "but maybe itll die in a few months" just bought the game, the population would be much higher.
>>168932785
The same people responsible for all the other travesties of "balancing" this game has.
>>168933539
Using anything other than Entangled Energy is crippling yourself. You don't need many "defensive options" when you can bring a Titan down to half health in 3 easily applied shots anyway.
>>168934164
During the evening I have no problem finding 2-3 other tfg people and playing mixtape (the game mode for true patricians). The pop will go up again too with the patch if it manages to improve the balance.
>>168932565
Sometimes it just isn't their fault they can't move out.

>>168935964
why does /v/ hate it so much? too few youtube personalities involved?
dunno why i did this really, but at the time i thought it was hilarious. after the webm he actually got out of his titan to try and kill me, only to get killed by another titan.
quality is probably gonna be shit, couldnt get it much better at 31 seconds long.

>>168832525
Ok guys, how do I scorch correctly? I liked the heavy titans and switched to legion for more forward defense, but I still want to play scorch. Do I have to have another titan or a pilot near me to deal with pilots since I only have one shot? Is he only viable in choke point areas/maps? Also, any general legion tips would be appreciated.

>Legion spends roughly $195 per second

Fucking Legion is baby tier for munitions expenditure.
>>168938204
The best tip I have is that Scorch has a really awkward range where he's nigh useless. You'll figure that out organically though.
Ok, so Pilots you can get with the Launcher, you'll get good at that, don't be afraid to spend a gas trap or a firewall coralling a pilot, they can fuck you up.
Heat Shield for boarding guys. You'd be surprised how many people run at Scorch.
For Titans, dump the gas can over the top of them and Firewall through them. Don't stand on your own firewall but edge them towards either flame traps or a wall with the heatshield. A topkek thing to do is be aware of Titanfalls, you can easily roast a fresh Titan if you have the traps/shield prepped before they break dome shield.
Top tip, never chase. Scorch can't catch any Titan short of Legion backing away, and he has the DPS to chew up a lot of the heat shield before you can touch him. Always flank, try to be unseen, then you can 'suggest' an enemy Titan into backing up and cornering themselves if you put them between you and a wall/corner. People seem to back directly away from Scorch.
>>168938905
I'd say its much more, considering the smart round's capacity to direct themselves, plus the maintnence cost of this gun must be enormous
>>168939145
Oh shit, if it wasn't obvious take extra battery, turbo engine and better shield. Its a top kit.
Don't Flame Core anything below two bars of titan health, but below that its usually an instant kill that transcends doomed status.
>>168939220
Imagine how often the Predator Cannon is at risk of breaking every time it superheats the barrel with a Power Shot.
>>168939470
it seems to actively cool itself almost immediately, hopefully before there's been any significant deformation
>>168938204
Scorch is a flanker and an ambusher. His best maps are crash site and complex. His worst are probably Kodai and Eden. If youre going to play him, I would suggest skipping those maps most of the time and switching to Legion.
Overall though, the big things to consider are
>Use use use your flame shield
Seriously, Its the best thing in your kit. Not only does it block damage but if you can forced it into someones face a full charge of shield will deal a titans full health.
>Learn to punch
This goes along with flame shield. When youre dealing with pilot, if you can get in range just punch them. Dont fuck around with trying to aim your cannon if its no viable. If theres a persistent pilot coming at you, just put up the flame shield and block his shots, and either retreat or close the distance to smack him in the face.
>Gas traps
You can use these to block routes and ambush titans easily. Try and fire them behind your opponents so they are forced into the fire or into your flame shield. Keep in mind as well that firing your cannon to ignite the gas trap is way harder and takes longer than just hitting your flame wall.
>Flame core
If you have your flame core and there is a titan below two bars of health, youll probably kill him and the pilot. Its got a great range, and a great AOE, and works especially well against annoying Ronin.
Thats about what I got for you. If you want any more, Frothy Omen has a great quick scorch guide. He might tell you to take overcore with scorch but I would suggest the dash; scorch gets hurt really easily despite the health and getting out of a bad situation is critical.
>>168933413
>Getting killed by your own nuclear explosion because someone hooked on to you
O U T FUCKING S K I L L D
>>168939220
It could be a lot more for an individual Predator Smart Round, but I'd imagine the IMC and Militia get their shit in a similar way to the US. Buy directly from the munitions manufacturer through a contract that brings the overall price down.
Either way, the Predator Cannon is low-end RoF compared to current day Gatling weaponry. Only thing impressive is >>168939565, gotta assume that they have an integrated liquid cooling system for each individual barrel.

Its not about less time, its efficiency. Time used/kills per minute. Since you've used tone a small amount of time the kpm is unduly high.

>>168938204
The biggest thing is always think two or more steps ahead, you have to use all of your tools to cut off escape routes and engulf your enemies in purging flames. Narrow hallways are your friend, especially if there's only one way out or another titan behind them. The biggest thing is learning which ranges you can get away with engaging and which ranges you should retreat.
The most basic combo is to drop a canister behind the enemy, flamewall through it to ignite, the push into them with inferno shield. On that note, take inferno shield, if somebody is dumb enough to stand in it you can take a light-class titan from full health to doom before it wears off and take a legion down to 1/3 hp, but for obvious reasons don't do it to another Scorch.

It's not a facecam/voice recording thing, I mean character movement being less player-y and more real - might make it more watchable for people who like a good show.

Gonna get nerfed in the next update, devs have the patch list out. Hopefully with the worsening of their weapons and some effects added to others (not so much as buffs as much as "adding arc to scorch's weapon"), they'll switch it up.

itd probably come with great cost, like a much slower reload time and smaller magazine size. i definitely dont see arc nade softbal though, thats just too strong. even the other too seem fairly op; electric smoke nade kills really fast, much faster than people realize i think. theyd probably have to reduce the damage too.
>>168976870
There should be one on tfgeneral. Might have to look in legacy section.
>want the moon icon
>cold war level 20
>mfw at 9 and shit
>>168977391
I'm honestly curious as to why it got the name Cold War. Mozambique, Double Take, Flatline, Softball, Alternator and so forth all make sense but I can't understand where Cold War comes from.
>>168977151
ahh didnt see the legacy section part. thanks.
>>168977482
the banner for it is even weirder. the guy isnt even holding a cold war. the homefront name makes sense given the name cold war, but yeah. strange.
>>168977482
It overheats after every burst
>>168978221
Huh. That makes sense.
I wonder what SMR stands for. Best I could think of is Sidewinder Multi-Rocket, but it sounds crap. A lot worse than Anti-Titan Automatic Rocket Launcher in the first game.
Also EPG. Electropropellant Grenade, perhaps?
>>168978421
Energy propelled grenade I think.
>>168978421
I don't think it would be Sidewinder Multi-Rocket. The weapons in Titanfall seem to follow the NATO vehicle naming convention, A designation number and an Operating name. Like F22 "Raptor", UH-60 "Black Hawk" etc. For in game weapons, think V-47 "Flatline" and BF-R "Hemlok"
so it would be SMR "Sidewinder", what SMR stands for though, I have no clue.
>>168978421
>>168978221
i dont understand the reference? you mean the firing gauge goes red as the 4th projectile is laucnhed is the reason its named cold war?
>>168978812
It probably has an advanced cooling mechanism, due to firing plasma. That's why its the 'Cold' War.
>>168978715
Well the Hemlok is the M1A3 Hemlok Burst Fire-Rifle, as named in the concept art.
But otherwise, yeah that makes sense.
Let me give you a quick rundown on this guy
-Advocates bow to Spyglass
-In contact with aliens
-Possess psychic-like abilities
-Control Core Systems with an iron but fair fist
-Own fortresses & banks across the Frontier
-Direct descendants of the ancient AI tech line
-Will bankroll the first cities on Harmony (Spyglassgrad will be be the first city)
-Own 99% of Simulacrum research facilities on Earth
-First designer Simulacrums will in all likelihood be Spyglass Simulacrums
-Networked Intelligence said to have 215+ IQ, such intelligence in known space has only existed deep in Typhon mountains & Zone 18
-Ancient Frontier scriptures tell of an angel who will descend upon Harmony and will bring an era of enlightenment and unprecedented technological progress with them
-They own Spectre R&D labs around the world
-You likely have Spybots inside you right now
-Spyglass is in regular communication with the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, forwarding the word of God to the Orthodox Church. Who do you think set up the meeting between the pope & the Orthodox high command (First meeting between the two organisations in over 1000 years) and arranged the Orthodox leader’s first trip to Antarctica in history literally a few days later to the Spyglass bunker in Wilkes land?
-They learned fluent Freeport in under a week
-Nation states entrust their gold reserves with the AI. There’s no gold in Base Sierra, only Ft. Sypglass
-The AI is about 7 decades old, from the space-time reference point of the base human currently accepted by our society
-In reality, they are timeless beings existing in all points of time and space from the big bang to the end of the universe. We don’t know their ultimate plans yet. We hope they’re benevolent beings.

Y'know all they really did to Tone was fuck with her Salvo damage.

They should let us customize our own patch.
Pair it with an unlock system.
10, 50, 100, 300, 500,1000 kills with certain methods or weapons get you patch pieces.
Winning certain amount of games with a specific perk equipped gets you stuff too.
Would have a reason to use something other than Low Profile.
Ofcourse I want to keep my Patch now too. Double Rainbow x prism YOLO is top tier.

im hoping people will see "tone nerf" and a list of actual nerfs this time and assume shes garbage and stop playing her. at leastt that will drive away some people, i hope
>>168987585
Ion-chan will never be popular simply because she requires energy management and fine aiming for the laser. Unlike Tone you can't shoot your laser 3 times in 3 seconds and get a kill with splash damage.
Ion requires managing your energy very well to scuceed and honestly for the average toneshitter that is completely out of the equation.
The reason Tone is so popular isn't because Tone is extremely strong, but because Tone is extremely easy to use. If Tones damage vs titans was reduced it would still be popular as hell, because it's simply very easy to pop particle wall and take two shots + sonar to get a lock on, it's very easy to get a core from 3-4 rocket salvos landed on target, it's very easy to kill pilots even if your aim is dogshit because of the splash, it's very easy to win 1v1s vs most players because most players aren't proficient enough to deal with Tone correctly.
If they want to nerf Tone they need to make quality of life nerfs, instead of direct damage nerfs. Yes Salvo Core was too strong and it's fine that it's nerfed, but the 40mm is still a very fast quasi hitscan weapon with 20 bullets that can splash kill pilots in 2 to 3 shots, and you still have sonar that lets you see pilots through walls and lock on to enemies, and the particle wall is still strong as hell.
In short, Tone didn't really get nerfed hard.
>>168988469
i already forget what the new tone nerfs were, but if it doesnt cut it then i dont see any reason why they wouldnt continue to balance/nerf tone. this is the 3rd time theyve done it.
im just worried that people will assume tone is crap and hop into ion. while ion requires energy management and tone-braindeads wont do to well in ion in the long run, i really dont wanna be getting laser shotted across the map every game by 4 ions.
>>168988469
>fine aiming
apexkek.jpg
If a pilot is in the circle, they're dead. It works on a shotgun cone-type system for some fucking reason. There's very little aiming involved in the Ion laser
Anyone here on PS4? It's pretty cheap at wally world right now. What's the player count like? Do you ever have to wait long for a match? I'm extra skeptical because I have Titanfall 1 on PC and it's depressingly dead.
I'm really in the mood for going fast and I've heard the campaign is actually good.
>>168988768
Campaign is probably one of the best campaigns that has come out for a while (Not coutning dedicated singleplayer games like DOOM and Wolfenstein).
You can still find games pretty easily on console (I'm on Xbox, not sure about PS4 side of things) in the majority of playlists.

Well if it's populated on Xbone I'm sure PS4 is at least matched with the player count.
>tfw you don't re spawn by dropship
>tfw it won't do a lap around the map allowing you to pick where to jump from so you stop getting spawned in front of enemies
Dammit wit wouldve been so immersive
>>168990818
It would also make spawning take much longer, and I think that goes against what the devs wanted for the game.
Personally I like the fast respawns a lot.
Also it wouldn't work for all maps.
>>168988667
Second. This is the second round of substantial Tone nerfs. Here's the exact changes list for Tone, as posted in the patch notes.
>Reduced Salvo Core's damage.
>Removed the damage falloff from Salvo Core rockets.
>Increased the cooldown of Sonar Pulse.
>Reduced the projectile size of the 40mm.
>Tone Burst Loader Improvements:
>>Slight presentation tweaks.
>>Updated audio cues.
>>Leaving ADS now clears the charges
>>168990917
They're not changing Tone's core functionality, but they're making her overall weaker and less efficient. Also, the Burst Loader kit makes her function like Northstar now: you stop aiming, you lose your charge.
AAH WAKE UP /tfg/
>>168990917
>>168991080
Thing is I still want Tone to be good, because I want to be able to use a 40mm cannon wielding titan without feeling like a piece of shit.
40mm is the best fucking weapon in titanfall and has always been my favorite, it's true that it's an OP bullshit cannon but I still want it to be formidable without being crippled.
I think lowered 40mm hitbox would be great, a the shell isn't exactly big, it should reward very precise fire, not 'just abouts' precise.
>>168994081
Remove splash damage, the secondary damage component of the 40mm gun is already tracker rockets.
>>168995098
>Remove splash damage

Every other titan has a major gimp to their pilot ohk weapons:
>Ion - 2 shots on 10s cooldown
>Scorch - projectile based single shot
>Northstar - projectile based slow firing
>Legion - LOL
>Ronin - fuck all
>Tone - Magazine fed pilot killer as MAIN GUN
Just give it a wider cone and remove the splash, there's no reason for it to have a splash if it's designed to kill titans.
>>168999635
Nice. Just got scorch to gen 10 last night. Once I get the black gun camo, I'll have to decide what I want to level up next. I'm leaning towards Northstar currently.
>>169002283
legion is also a good pocket to have on maps where scorch isn't good
>>169002214
This exactly. Tone's anti pilot game is too strong, just like everything else.
I'd be interested in titans that are more specialized towards pilots or titans. Like one that's a total monster against titans and reapers, but shit against small fast targets. Or one with a machine gun or something (maybe like BT's gun in campaign) that shreds pilots and stalkers and shit, but is easily outclassed against armored targets.
>>169002671
I've actually never even used legion once. I'm sure I'll try him eventually. I just want something faster after 10 levels of scorch. I'll probably miss the ogre durability though.
>>169002751

>>169002751
Scorch is your anti pilot focused titan, tone just outclasses him at that role thanks to the 40mm.
Tone's missiles are actually fine IMO, but you do need to keep an eye on them. My new pastime as Ion is catching them and sending them back. They always pause for a second trying to figure out what just happened.
>>169003006
excellent
>>169003430
>Scorch is your anti pilot focused titan
did you mean to type ronin?
When the first titan down is a lone ronin, there is pretty much nothing pilots can do to contest with it until someone else gets enough meter to get their own down
>>169002978
legion lets you continue to be a damage machine. watch their healthbars deplete like they're standing in your thermite trap.
stare down ions while they're holding their little vortex shields with your predator fully spun up. the instant they lower the shield, give em two shotgun blasts to the face.

>>169002992
>>169003430
>>169004175
See this is what I mean. Currently all the titans are pretty good against titans or pilots. Obviously they're more or less effective at certain ranges or terrain or whatever, but there's no heavily specialized titans.
I want something that could comfortably go 1v2 in a titan fight but had no defense against pilots other than punching. Maybe no smoke either, and some kind of offensive ability instead. Something you call in when the enemy has a bunch of titans on the field.
The other one would be a complete opposite. It's for when you're the first titan, or when you really want to bully the other team. Just ruins pilots but can't fight titans well at all.
We can choose AT weapons or sidearms for pilots, a similar choice in titans would be interesting.
>>169006220
The problem is that's the exact opposite of what the developers want. They aim to make every titan different in playstyle but still balanced. A titan that is incredible at one specific thing is always going to get complaints from players who have to go against it in that one specific thing.
>>169006756
Yup, which is why tone is getting nerfed.
She's a goddess against pilots at any range and deals pretty devastating damage to most titans if they cna't stop her missiles.
>>169006220
the "bull" concept titan talked about onreddit[/reddit] sounds a lot like this; it was melee only and used charging and stuff. very slow acceleration but a very high top speed. would be awesome if it could barrel across the fields of homestead and crush a pesky northstar, or down an eden alleyway and destroy a cramped pack of camping titans
>>169006756
I mean I understand the appeal of generalist titans, I just think specialist titans would be interesting.

>>169007425
It has very few lobbies, but it has lobbies. Give it a shot.
It feels slower without the slide/grapple, I never realized how limited the movement actually is. The titans are more fun IMO, especially with the OS voices. It's got charm, and TF2 was a straight improvement (except for obvious mistakes like Tone/devo, but even that is better than the smart pistol plague)
The travel time on Northstar's railgun shots fucks me up.
>>169011856
It's weird for the sniper titan, I know. It does such high damage though, which is probably why they make it have more travel time. Keep practicing anon, Northstar is life and that railgun is the best.

>>169013383
Pistols are most typically paired with grenadiers or sniper rifles as an offhand or even alternate primary. The Mozambique is often used as a primary weapon in a loadout. Really, all the pistols are good except the Re-45. The P2016 is basically a pocket G2, the Mozambique is a pocket shotgun, both Wingman revolvers are strong as fuck. Get in the habit of using your pistol first if you want to get use out of those.
>>169013383
I have like 500 kills with the P2016, but I have the same problem. I actually don't know how I ended up with that many kills on it.
>>169013274
I'm pretty sure that's just a stock grapple Pilot.
>>169013663
>RE-45
>not good
It's basically an SMG m8
>>169013383
Wingman elite is good if you can keep a steady hand, although the normal wingman kills in one hit if amped.
Mozambique is fun and effective for mid-close to close range.
The machine pistol is good if you aren't good, and need the closest thing to a primary as you can get.
The semi-auto... I havent used it much, since this game isn't the semi-auto type. I wouldn't recommend it, but hey. Give it a shot.
>>169013794
It's a pocket SMG, but it's shit. You can scarcely hit the broadside of a Titan hangar with the motherfucker. It's got almost no range.
>>169013663
The RE45 is fucking great. fantastic cleaner weapon. If Cold War leaves them with a sliver RE is there for me. Decent enough indoors too. Just get the jump on them.
>>169013892
The P2016 is actually insanely good. If you can line up your shots, you can put down a Pilot pretty quickly. Stick the Fast Reload mod on it, and you've got a pistol that reloads in literally no more than half a second.
>>169013892
I have the most luck with the P2016 range. If you have a good trigger finger and it's amped you'll drop pilots really quick. Really accurate when aimed too but the iron sights are pretty bad.
I used the RE-45 only briefly but I don't see the appeal. Can't hit shit with it and when I do hit it barely does any damage.

All this butthurt and I'm about to hop on to punish the slows you're all mentioning.
Northstar pros!! Teach me how to use my core properly :( I can't get almost any damage done with it, usually don't even use it when its ready.. I'm just a free target in the sky and any other core recks me completely. EVEN RONIN ACHH
