>What's changed in 2? Cosmetics, class based titans, more pilot abilities, more guns, and a single player campaign. Bunny hopping was altered so now you need to queue a slide too
Similar to the "Reload Cancel" of the COD series, the addition of the Slide has allowed for this new reload animation cancel. Whatever weird effect the transition between slide and jump has on the reload states, the things that Respawn did to counter that simple cancel of COD now has a new workaround.
COD's cancel was easy enough since you just interrupted the animation after the "add time" where the ammo counter went up. Unlike COD where you could just forget about everything after the add time, you must complete the reload animations in Titanfall. Titanfall and T2's reload system breaks up the reload into several stages.
"reload_time" for the whole duration, and then "reload_time_late1" that occupies the last part of the whole time. "reloadempty_time" "reloadempty_time_late1" and "reloadempty_time_late2" for obviously empty reloads. The late1 times are roughly set to the point where you've removed the current mag and are bringing up another mag to load in. For empty reloads, the late2 to chamber a round by pulling the bolt/slide on guns.
If you were to interrupt the reload before you reached the late time, you would do the whole reload over. If you interrupted after the late time, you'd replay the animation starting from the late time.
Whatever this "Slide Reload Jump Cancel" (SRJ Cancel?) is doing, it appears to cancel the reload animation and immediately move on to the Late1 time. In the Flatline's case, it turns a 2.073 second total reload time into only its 0.6 second late1 time (plus the little bit it takes to perform the slidejump). Or when empty, the 2.7 second empty reload is reduced to about 1.4 seconds.

that poor ronin, what was he thinking? do not do this. pic related is a pretty standard "rotation" that you can use when opening fights. reload and drop a smoke during the phase. ronin isnt really a melee titan, hes more hit and run/pick your shots kinda thing. you only melee in very specific circumstances
Oliver James
>"Slide Reload Jump Cancel" (SRJ Cancel?) IT BEGINS
Jason Green
it works with every gun even stuff with segmented reloads (mastiff and softball), though you aren't going to see any real benefit in skipping one shell's loading animation; maybe for the mastiff's empty reloading into the chamber animation
we esports now
Carson Richardson
Why doesn't this work with certain guns? Is it because they don't have a "reload_time_late1"?
Brandon Collins
>Is it because they don't have a "reload_time_late1"? Which are the guns that do?
Dominic Phillips
its definitely good but you guys are not mentioning its drawback: major energy drain. if you unload that much damage into a titan and dont kill it, or there is another enemy nearby, your entire kit is cutoff from you and you are defenseless.
Cameron Martinez
Someone said it doesn't work with the CAR.
Noah Nguyen
Is there a max regen for the factions? If so what is it? 10?
Christopher Gomez
I'll admit my brief experience playing Ronin was pretty fun, thanks for the general advice. I still personally think we'll get another sword Titan, the duels would be amazing.
Ayden Sanders
100.
Dylan Nelson
Is there anything you really get from that? I dont use anyone but Apex but Im considering switching.
Gavin Young
It does work on the CAR, it's just not as blatant as the other weapons.
Jace Lopez
Every gun has a late1 (some even a late2 on partial reloads) although some do have pretty long late1 times. It does definitely work on every gun, but some aren't going to benefit as much.
For example, the Spitfire has a 2.8 second reload and a 1.8 second late1 time. The time you cut off will be minimal. Rather, the time at the end will still be pretty long so it may not look like it worked.
The CAR's times are 1.8 and 0.82, so that's slightly less than 1 second. The animation can throw you off because the animation brings up a mag before removing the other, the cancel does definitely speed it up.
Isaac Torres
For reference
Sebastian Gutierrez
In this case, what gun benefits the absolute most from SRJ cancel?
Nathan Adams
Guy who said it didn't work with the C.A.R. here. Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I did feel it was a little quicker but I couldn't tell so I said it didn't work.
Brandon Ward
how broken would Northstar be if plasma railgun were buffed to become hitscan
Zachary Adams

Thomas Price
SRJ cancel doesn't happen to work with L-Star does it?
Mason Nguyen
The L-Star doesn't have a conventional reload, so probably not.
Ethan Green
POST SCORCH
Hudson Gray
What does this even do to the Softball and the Mastiff?
Zachary Miller
If it does work though it would be incredibly significant because the gun doesn't have a conventional reload system. If the long animation could be shortened to the speeds seen in webms here or even just to normal weapon reload speeds that could completely change the outcome of some extended fights.

Working on a little macro to hold the charge rifle at almost ready to fire, works okay so far
Josiah Ortiz
you cant manage to do that yourself? its not hard you know
Adam Lewis
Here, put together all of the reload and late1 times in a pastebin. pastebin.com/f3hYCfJp
The majority of weapons will cut off about one second from the total reload time. Many weapon reloads effectively are reduced to 1 second and change. The Flatline looks to benefit the most, foillowed by the R-97.
The L-STAR does have a emptyreload of 6.0 and a Late1 of 4.7 seconds. You can cut off a bit if you time your last shot perfectly during the SRJ (can be a real pain in the ass since the L-STAR has a 75% chance of firing an extra shot when it overheats). Otherwise, it is fucked to its horribly slow cooldown/reload.
The Mastiff is one of two weapons that lacks a late time. You can't SRJ it. Every shell will take 1.03 seconds to reload. The Softball however has a "reloadsegment_time_end" which may be a functional late time. It's possible neither of them would benefit at all from a reload cancel.

Mason Murphy
I tried that before, it does work if you have your back to a wall. Crouching may help. If they jump off into the open, you may only nick them but not enough to kill them.
Mason Brown
anyone using projectiles deserves respect tbqh
hitscan is so absurd in this game
Dominic Wright
Which guns have hitscan?
Christopher Long
jesus, i never realized just how far the sparks from an amped mastiff fly i kind of want to use it just to see them exploding off and around people as i dunk them
Brandon Wright
Practice my dude. I just switched over a week ago and I'm still having trouble hitting my tactical and my slide hops.
Carson Morris
like every gun except: Grenadiers Wingman Elite Lstar Kraber DoubleTake EPG Thunderbolt
Blake Butler
Wingman Elite isn't hitscan? But standard Wingman is? This confuses me
Colton Morgan
That's why it is elite
Christian King
i hate automantle so much i cannot express it enough i wish respawn wasn't retarded
how the hell did this happen? i actually use cold war full time now, just regened it. how can it possibly be my most efficient gun? before it was the mastiff because i used it for like 1 minute and got a kill without dying. as you can see from my k/d ratio, im not the best player so this seems pretty weird
Christopher Kelly
Wingman Elite is for all intents and purposes it's own gun. It's a projectile weapon, and all its stats are different. The Wingman E is just a Wingman because iunno Respawn is lazy I guess.
Tyler Nelson
time for humblebrag I've been using grenadier weapons almost exclusively since I've picked this game up, the playstyle that goes with them makes my dick hard.
Kevin Allen
Can someone give me a quick description of gameplay for this game? Is it a lot like COD? Because I can't say I'm a fan of the more recent ones.
Daniel Perry
Ever since I picked up the game, I have used hitscan for maybe a grand total of an hour of playtime. I quickly graduated into the wild world of Grenadiers and never looked back.
Changed my Wingman to the Wingman E when that released, and I never play Legion, so I have essentially entirely sworn off of hitscan. I have no regrets.
Caleb Long
>northstar uses core >flame shield eats it >tone uses core >flameshield does nothing they're LITERALLY the same core wtf.

Legion is my most used titan by far, I feel like I shouldn't enjoy using a hitscan aimbot every match, but I do.

Why the FUCK do my teammates NEVER melee me when I get rodeo'd but the enemies can pick me off their friendly titans when I'm a fucking speck in the distance and they're spazzing out?
Thomas White
I guess this is why I'm enjoying Ronin. Basically a hard counter.
>arc on shields >phase through missiles >fuck it just dodge the missiles >Tonefags can't aim against quick targets >sit still dribbling as I phase behind and nuke eject
Nothing personel pilot. :3

yo what the FUCK?!?
Jacob Campbell
Odd question. What do you think the exchange rate for credits is? I'm assuming a lot, you can earn hundreds of dollars in BH but this somehow this only converts into a credit amount you can count on one hand.
James Walker
tone and northstar's cores should do the same amount of damage. i mean fuck how different could "a billion missiles" perform in real life? why northstar's missiles are like firecrackers and tone's are like anime missiles escapes me.
i mean fuck viper wrecks an entire squadron with his missiles in campaign

Hate mail received from Tone. Love mail from Legion.
Shield is topkek. Makes me wish Ronin had a parry reflect rather than a straight block.

Make liberal use of the aim assist mechanics. Get the enemy somewhere close to the center of your screen and sight up.
Just as you ADS, your weapon has a very strong "adspull" which pretty much locks on to enemies that are moving. Most of the time, they'll end up dead in your sights for about a half second When your sights are on target, your recoil is also heavily reduced (the camera kick is automatically compensated for to some degree) compared to the unfiltered, harder kick that PC users have the manage manually.

I've been using these for a while now and I've never gone back. Regular analog sticks don't give you the reach you need.
