Nth for faster but no pc

Its ok, apparently they want to give pc players something to say sorry

Source?

Word of mouth

Does anyone have good spectre art? The Stim Spectre in TF2 is my new husbando after Blisk.

Tech test is live, we faster now

I can't even tell, man. When I hit a wall it still feels like I'm heavy as all fuck.

fastER, not tf1 fast

Why is god so cruel? I love a lot of things about TF2, but why did they go and do this.

>TF2
uhhh excuse me?????

It's so predictable that fags like you would show up once tf2 goes big.
Noone cares about your dead fucking memeshooter. Fuck off.

Well, it's something.

What if everyone just needs to get gud at it?

you're not legitimately implying that fucking titanfall is ever gonna be bigger than tf2, right?

I feel pretty weird calling it tf2, but its going to happen no matter what

TF2 killed itself when it added hats, and valve kept raping the corpse when it became F2P. It's a shell of it's former, alive self.

You're right. I actually really enjoy the new game, I just don't want to admit they raised the skill ceiling.

yeah mate tf2 has been dead for the past 7 years, whatever you say

feels a little better to me, cant be 100% sure though im pretty bad with a controller

Add me up on Xbox, I have a few things I need to do today but afterwards I'm down to play for more then a few hours.

game is super fun but fuck playing this with a controller

also not sure if this survives both Bf1 and Coowadoody launch

This is pretty much what im getting from it, its pretty enjoyable but the controller ruins everything

>there are people in this thread who like meme fortress

>We made it faster guys
>Still slower than TF1
>No mention of them attempting to address all the other problems

Uninstalled. I hope EA bring Respawn out back and add them to the pile.

No way was it ever going to be as fast as 1, id agree that they missed the mark with ttk issues though and the lack of pc beta

>"It's faster guys"
>Slow as fuck
>Wall running feels... wrong in this game. I almost never do it
>Takes like 10 shots to kill somebody
>Titans take like 10 shots to kill somebody

What the fuck.

Is anyone else noticing that it takes a while to shoot? I get the perfect setups, but nothing comes out when I try to fire.

requesting steeeeeeeeve video

>Win by literally
>LITERALLY
>ONE POINT
I wonder how mad they were

>>Takes like 10 shots to kill somebody
>>Titans take like 10 shots to kill somebody
you're literally the only person on this planet complaining about a high TTK.

if they were good sports, they'd say it was a good match

I guess they'll never do shit against people leaving the game early.

Look dude. I'm all for a good TTK. But it needs to be 4-5 not 7-10.

There's a problem when it takes three (3) headshots to kill somebody.

That has to be your end, everyone else is complaining theres no time to react

Yeah if anything they should make it slightly higher

the issue is amped boost. makes the ttk swing from can react to dead, depending if its on

>go into thread were people who like tf2 talk about it
>wtf people in this thread that like tf2 and talk about it
I really don't know what to say

God damn it I'm literally addicted to the TF2 stim now. If there isn't a stim boosy I will be mad as fuck.

what the fuck are you on about? Learn to read.

could stand to last a little longer, by trading off how fast you get sped up or something

Hello friends

Hey user. What's up?

:3c

Hey, buddy!

Going back to Titanfall after the Tech Test made stimming feel so slow, and I yearned to go back and go fast.

I'd rather Stim last more than two seconds.

>choosing between seeing where enemies or killed or wall hanging

...why not just let players do both

welp, titanfall 2 is still shit
thanks EA

Going to hop on in a few minutes once food is done cooking. Anyone want to play hardpoint?

Wallhang is pretty useful when capping Hard Points. Usually there is a wall or corner in a capture area that gets overlooked so you can take out a few unsuspecting enemies who run in to try and stop the capture.

>Players should once again accumulate and retain more speed when chaining wallruns
>But can't strafejump to mantain momentum and the grappling hook still kills your speed as well
Bravo, Respawn.

>A team of four titans staying together with two pilots picking up batteries from enemies is fucking invincible now
B R A V O

I seriously dislike the new rodeo system. What the fuck have they done...

>Shotgun is shit now
What is up with that spread, desu?

>Shit
Mastiff is fantastic, man.

I prefer nu-rodeo to old rodeo.

>Fantastic
The fucking spread let the fucking enemy player live with less than 5% hp.
I was at least 5 feet away from that faggot.
The old shotty is better. This one is only good for npc because of the horizontal spread.

Well, what can I say? I thoroughly enjoyed it, friend.

Bring me back my circle spread you fucking shill

First you have to kill me.

>I prefer nu-rodeo to old rodeo.
Why? Old rodeo had a good tradeoff of risk versus reward, and though titan battery swapping isn't exactly a bad idea the game forcing you to hop off after merely chipping away at the titan's HP, forcing you to do it over and over and fucking over again.

Just ads with it

Grappling hooks look like fun. Wonder where they took the idea from.

>tfw PC
PCbros where we at

>It's still so damn slow

And I had such high hopes for it, probably my biggest disappointment this year.

Battery removal takes out a chunk of health. Usually I do that and then finish off the fucker with my AT weapon, if my Titan's ready I call it in instead and give myself a dope shield.

playing on the PS4
jumping ship as soon as a decent PC version/MP tech test comes out though

I like battery removal, but that's pretty much the only thing I'm okay with.

>Finish off the fucker with my AT weapon
But since movement in this game sucks any pilot out shooting a titan constantly will die, they're easy pickings for anyone who can aim.

>rodeo titan, open hatch
>press grenade button to take out battery and jump off, or shoot to deal damage
>titan smoke is a normal ability
The rodeo system is fixed

Here.

Started playing TF1 again, should enjoy it before TF2 kills it off completely.

I was damn hyped for TF2 but all the changes are garbage, and they're not going to be able to fix the maps in two months.

Shit sucks man, I just wanted TF1 but with more content and some tweaks to SP to not make it THE BEST.

They're removing attrition, the mode TF1 was basically fucking designed around.

>I prefer nu-rodeo to old rodeo.

Really

youtube.com/watch?v=peEPSV8IKdI&feature=youtu.be&t=26

>Improvements and changes
It's not enough, loadout customization for Pilot and Titan is still shit.

>and they're not going to be able to fix the maps in two months.

>tfw

just fuck my shit up.. WHY? RESPAWN WHY?

>10 millions playing COD, so if we make like one it will sell like it

shacknews.com/article/96446/titanfall-2-game-director-on-a-slower-paced-multiplayer

Game was too fast

To frenetic

People didn't camp on rooftops with snipers enough

This literally feels like Black Cocks 3 with mechs.

Why did respawn go full: "We want the Call of Duty audience?"

What the fuck.

We've only seen 3 fucking maps.
>This literally feels like Black Cocks 3 with mechs.
Have you ever actually played Black Ops 3, because this feels nothing like it.

Read the shacknews interview.

Their map design philosophy has changed. Instead of going for "swiss cheese" they're going for "three lane."

It feels EXACTLY like it. Maybe a tad bit faster. But not much.

>should enjoy it before TF2 kills it off completely
I really don't think TF2 will kill off the first game entirely, it still has a consistent playerbase of 2K on Xbone for a reason.
Rather, I don't want TF2 to kill off the first game, and I don't think the people still playing it will drop it off for something that is by all means worse in every single fucking way.

But Training Ground is a three lane map and it's still good. That's not the only issue.

Training grounds is probably my most hated map in TF1.

I drop a titan burn card on that map every fucking time for a reason.

PC brah here but never really participated in the og /tfg/ threads but was there for the good times. Changing that this time around! Playing on a mates PS4 whilst waiting for the PC Beta

It better not do! Got 977/990 challenges done! Need to finish that badboy up soon

Why do the shitty mechs have to have abilities?
>We want the Overwatch audience
Oh right.

Why did they have to slow down the game so much?
>We want the CoD audience
Oh right.

Why are the maps all based on the 3 lane layout?
>We want the ASSFAGGOTS audience
Oh right.

Why did they have to ruin everything good about the first one?
>We want audiences who aren't interested in our game anyway
Oh right.

Jesus fucking christ respawn.

>loved TF
>forget TF2 was going to be a thing
>see this in catalog
>nigger what the fuck people still play that?
>Oh fuck it's TF2
>tfw graphics card took a shit and I can't even run terraria at 30FPS

Is there a way to view your K/D? I've been doing pretty good so I'd love to be able to check out that and my w/l ratio.

Also playing right now, join the network so I can invite you fine folk.

I'm honestly completely fine with mechs having abilities, it at least stops everyone and their mother running 40mm with a auto eject + nuclear.

Auto eject + nuclear is so retarded, everyone runs it, myself included. If you get in a doomed state near an enemy titan you deserve to be executed.

Removing shields from Titans and making it so they can be just chipped from half the may away is what kills it.

There are so many fucking bizarre choices. In titanfall one there is so much emphasis on immersion, from the grunt dialogue to handlers, to the epilogue escape ship. Yet in titanfall 2 they take a big shit on immersion by adding THIRD PERSON animations for NO FUCKING REASON which NO ONE WANTED.

Alpha isn't on PC.

It's shit anyway. You're not missing anything.

Oh...
I don't even know why I got my hopes up

It isn't shit.

Hardpoint is gross

It really is.

Why?

I really do.

Maybe if you fucking suck. Did you not spend the rest of games with guaranteed victories bunny hopping harassing pilots/Titans? I do the same thing but now with sliding sprinkled around.

This feels NOTHING like Black Ops, buddy.

Who the hell was complaining about the AI in the game, anyways?

Not that guy, but it isn't shit. It's fun as fuck.

I thought I was the only person annoyed by mech abilities.

This is gay. They don't feel like weapons anymore that can be outfitted with different layouts to fit your playstyle. They feel like fucking people. I feel like I'm choosing from a list of characters instead of a chassis with a customizable layout. Fuck this.

Never liked the AI to be quite honest familia, I always preferred Deadly Ground and Pilot Skirmish because of it.

Honestly, if they allowed us to change the Titan's primary weapon, I'd be perfectly fine with the new system.

Also, Thermite Launcher shits all over thr Splitter Rifle.
But why? They made each match feel like a large scale battle, and worked as a way for scrubs to learn the mechanics of the game before taking on Pilots and Titans. If they add a playlist that puts AI battles again, everything would be fine.
