hunt those bounties Pilots, your commander wants to ''upgrade'' her chassis!

N'th for ion and ronin

requesting this as the next thread starter

Be honest, who actually noticed this?

but he fastballs you with his right hand

BT is ambidextrous, bruv.

What's your PLAUSIBLE wishlist for upcoming updates?

>tfw

>elite wingman

Wow, so instead of releasing entirely new weapons they're just doing variants and reskins.

No wonder this game is dying.

Haven't run into anyone else rocking the TFG tag.
>Oy. This is what you were born for.
Who else here a predator?

TF1 map ports
PvE survival mode.
Allow 3rd weapon slot for pistols.
Notification when Tone is locked on to your titan.
ADS sensitivity slider
Notification that a game has been found when alt-tabbed.

that's a nice spoiler
glad it was already spoiled for me

BT was dead the entire movie

>Allow 3rd weapon slot for pistols.
Why not add Pilot perk for that.

PvE featuring some of the monsters in the campaign
the triple threat, arc cannon, and xo-16 coming back as new titans

Typhoon was Earth all along.

Boss uniforms with Helmets

...

More than 1 intro line for each faction at the start of the game.

A map that takes place in a cruiser formation. Thoughts of Boarding Action for Halo CE

fix the lstar pls

>when you corner them perfectly

shit man i gotta try scorch now

God I love playing scotch against shitters

Do you guys main titans exclusively? I try to rotate titans based on what map I'm playing and I think it's made me a jack of all trades master of none.

What's worse playing against shitters or playing with shit teammates?

I usually play scorch on close quarters maps or small lane maps. Complex is the best map for scorch and I really like to play him on dry-dock and Eden.
For all the other maps I play Ion usually

Against shitters. I don't mind getting my ass kicked unless it's by 6 cloakers who all use Tones.

Was maining Ion for versatility and style

Then I was seduced by Scorch's ERUPTING BURNING FINGER

I wish the high mobility titans didn't sucks so much

I wish tone was dead

Ion is my life. I love lasers.

ION is mai waifu, i main her exclusively and i love her, like she loves me. We are planning on ordering dinner tonight and watching some fun movies while cuddling together on a sofa and making some sweet love later before bed.

An actual PvE mode would be amazing and would add alot of hours for me personally.

A lot of love for Scorch and Ion. I've been trying to play Ronin in place of Scorch on close quarters maps but I think I'll go back. I rarely find myself being useful for more than one engagement as Ronin but his OS sounds so good.

>Titanfall
>Jumping into my Legion
>"We are better together"
>Answer him out loud "Agreed"

Feels corny, but feels even better.

Ronin is the ultimate anti-pilot titan aside from tone. You shouldn't really use him against other Titans unless you team up with scorch to bully them into his fire traps.

so like the single player?

The Ronin sword is mine

Yeah, just coop in the single player would be great actually.

Or even better, take it even further make the coop be one player as the AI/Titan and the other as the Pilot, and give the Pilots control of some more weapons when inside the Titan, I think I'd like that.

you would have died if the idiot didn't have to reload

>hop in my Northstar
>"It is good to have you back, Pilot"
>say "Good to be back" outloud
I feel bad every time one of Titans blow up. Feels like I just let a friend get murdered.

He was ready with his block at least a second after he ran out of ammo tho..

I'm agreeing with you, so don't get all assblasted.

I think this is the first game (that I can remember) that actually made me answer out like that, it's just somehow manages to form such a bond between Pilot and Titan, and the short greeting just adds so much to that.

And I agree on feeling bad when the Titans blow up, the worst feeling being dying after Titanfall then finally coming back to see your Titan getting gangraped and almost at self-destruct..

There seems to be a hell of a lot of camping going on in Titanfall 2 compared to the first one.

ive had multiple Attrition games today where the enemy team just hangs around the edge of the map and just waits for their titans.

>dying after Titanfall
I am addicted to trying to land my titan on people I steal batteries from
It never goes well

It's a tone based game
If you're not in a tone you're losing

Camp til tone, then play, if you die back to camp

basically every time I play the map with the monorail thing in the middle, someone starts the match with A-wall and a devotion on their side of the track

two reasons for that:

1) really short ttk + controller aim assist means that killing fast moving pilots is trivial. your speed doesn't provide much defense and really puts you out in the open

2) a lot of camping tools like A-wall, sentries, pulse blade/map hack, amped DMR/hemlock/R201 killing nearly instantly.

It's kind of frustrating, I feel like they catered to shitters too much this time around. Stuff like AWall and sentries shouldn't be in the game at all.

Thoughts on new kits?

lower price brought in a lot of new blood, and all the people already bored with BF1/CoD IW hopped on the Titan train. They'll either learn to go fast or die.

>First time ever calling in my titan
>The dome shield gets 3 kills as the enemy just walks into it and dies
>Now I always try to do the same thing but it never works and I die and my titan gets fucked
What might be in the in-game store?

I see them, but they learn real quick not to camp once I get in my Scorch. The cleansing flame cares not for your puny wall.

>Ion
Not worth giving up free lasers or better reflect
>Scorch
If you're hitting someone with core you don't need the extra damage/area control
>Northstar
There is no possible situation where this is necessary or helpful
>Tone
If this isn't balanced around a nerf it's RIP game
>Legion
Will reward the few legions that remember powershot exists and does insane damage. So nobody
>Ronin
We made a titan so frail we designed a kit to keep it from instantly dying. Have fun getting telefragged by aggro scorches

cosmetics

Scorch is dominant on close maps, ronin requires some room to maneuver to harass and escape.

This.
Titan OS and skins that give new effects like the prime ones.
Nose Art, Decos and shit.
Nothing gameplay related I wager.
WEapon skins too

Just fuck my health up
Cherry is a great flavour

>Ion
I dunno, I'll have to see how it works out in practice.
>Scorch
I can imagine this being used to either layer even more AoE damage or cover a crazy amount of space for team fights: literally create a ring of fire
>Northstar
What about guerilla pot-shots and pilot kills
>Tone
This. If they can get 3 shots on a burst with no damage reduction to the missiles, I'm gonna be the saltiest nigga on Earth
>Legion
Gives more escape options or finisher options
>Ronin
I'd wish they gave Ronin a kit for the sword defense for reflecting things back to the sender...like every hit gives a delection-point and you have to aim it an the enemy

sauce ?
is this porn ?

>Tones
>Cloaks
>Devotions
>Camping Edge of Map
When will it end...

Remember your melee

Speaking of executions, do all the titans have unique ones? I've only seen the executions that Ronin and Ion perform so far.

>remember your attack that does the same damage as everyone else's and pushes foes out of your engagement range
only thing it's good for is using the slightly longer range to execute retreating titans

Well but I say remember your melee since I only really see people use it for executions these days.
Since you're in close quarters so often, you should remember to use it when your clip is out of ammo

FFA with the monsters added into the mix would be pretty dope

Are they fucking with us?

How did Respawn let this shit pass testing?

I'm betting it's going to have hella bad recoil to balance it out

>Ion
If it does more damage it could be alright
>Scorch
He should already be doing that. Like Temperament
>Northstar
Kind of retarded since enemies already have a red outline unless tags them like a pulse
>Tone
They don't play their own damn game. If they did they would realize how fucking retarded this is without a nerf.
>Legion
Alright.
>Ronin
So they know how weak he is compared to the rest, and just decided to cater to it with a useless kit. Nice aRespawn

I had my hopes it would end with the first update. That Respawn would see the numbers of Tones, the abundance of certain weapon types, the imbalance of clock and phase shift over everything else and do something in the way to make the rest of the ingame content worthwhile to use in a competitive sense.

With this latest update they might have been forgiven with not releasing any balance changes, this stuff was probably in the pipeline months ago. But then you look at the addition of a three round burst for Tone. It's a simple change but how can anyone not see the potential for this? Not only do Tones missiles already require zero recharge time, they will now be able to lock onto an enemy even faster.

I simply cannot comprehend why they felt this was needed. Even if changes are made to the damage numbers or accuracy of the cannon's shots this will provide another avenue for Tones to spam their missiles. If the accuracy remains it'll be a simple task of popping round corners, firing the burst shot, popping back and firing missiles. Charge up another burst and repeat. If the accuracy is nerfed they can simply move to close range and do a dance round the enemy. Dance, charge, fire burst, fire missiles.

This wasn't needed AT ALL and will only go to further imbalance the titan classes in favour of a class that literally has no weakness already. My only hope at this point is that balance changes do exist and simply haven't been revealed yet. But considering this update drops next week, that's hard to believe.

It's probably a part of the balance change, remember they haven't said anything about that yet only given us what content we are getting.

It'll probably be that the three-round burst is better up close, but you can't missile lock on right away and/or something like that.

>both ''heavy'' pilots and ogre class titans have arachnid face designs

Wonder how sudden the EA push out the door was
How much got cut

>want to buy the game
>EA won't let me
>but the Deluxe Edition is perfectly fine

Fuck this company so much.

whens this getting added?

It says the map drops for everyone December 3rd, so I imagine you get everything else at the same time.

Why is our happy hour so early? We should make it later.

What are timezones

what are different networks

noone's gonna piss you for one game while you get your extra 5 merits, you thirst ass niggah

What do networks even do besides happy hours?

titanfams do you have any tips/trics regarding the ion`s trip mines?
extremely hyped for the ion skin
the refraction lens has a lot of potential for a short range deterrent

use it to get free dumb pilot kills
never use it in titan v titan if you don't have the perk
if you are going to use it
drop it on the titan for instant damage and melee

>titanfams do you have any tips/trics regarding the ion`s trip mines?
I personally dont use it that much but only have it for a burst of damage

how long until we see weebsword pilot weapon?

>watching frothys stream
>he compliments [tfg]

Anyone have a solution to this? I've tried everything from reinstalling directx, clean uninstalling my AMD drivers via guru in safe mode and reinstalling updated versions. Doing a clean install of TF2 didn't work and neither did using origin to repair and update files. I turned off origin in game and I don't have any other overlay software.
My specs are
Processor (CPU): AMD FX 8320 Eight core 3.5GHz
Graphics Card (GPU): AMD Radeon R9 270x with 6Gbs of available graphics memory and 2GBs of dedicated video memory.

Operating System: Windows 7 64bit

Help, I just want to go fast tfg

>tfw going for the Termination as Scorch

It's a shame Last Titan Standing is permanently dead and you have to wait for it to show up on Mixtape now.

what did he say?

it was open in the background, i just heard '[tfg] guys' and 'good players' in the same sentance

>]These] tfg guys [are not] good players

Sounds about right

The secret to easy colosseum wins is
