/tfg/ - Titanfall General

more like annoying

I really like CTF in most games and I think making it the primary mode would be wonderful, if it weren't such a broken trash heap. I mean there are asymmetrical maps with 3 or 5 caps to win, but you switch sides after 2 or 3. They ruined the balance of the mode, from the fucking outset, for no reason. That's the level of rank incompetence at Respawn multiplayer design and we should be happy that the game is even tolerable to play at all, even if titan combat is balanced around game breaking bugs.

what should happen is do what halo did with flags. You are forced to use your sidearm, and tacticals are disabled.

i wouldn't go so far as to say that tacticals should be disabled entirely, but that each tactical should be judged case by case

>stim either disabled or drops flag
>grapple either disabled or drops flag
>maybe disable pulse blade
>A-wall should be disabled if pulse blade is disabled, since they're both "throw something" tacticals
>holopilot functional
>cloak functional, but with a trailing light like a battery light
>phase shift drops the flag (i think they already have this implemented)

the sidearm-only bit i agree with

i think stim, phase, and grapple should drop the flag, pulse, holo, a-wall should remain the same. not sure about cloak maybe make the user invisible but the flag isn't.

restricting to side arms would be a good case for buffing side arms which i like.

But sidearms are fucking shit. It's already hard enough to carry a team of shitters. What they need to do is make maps that aren't broken and can't be 100% dominated by titans, and remove all the free kill buttons like arc nades and gravity star that have a hitbox the size of a building. It doesn't matter how good you are, no one can outrun a fucking arc nade. Having unlimited ordinance makes it even worse. Basically, both the pilot combat and the maps are too fucked up for CTF to ever work properly. It was badly designed and it just needs to be redone. I don't think any small change the MP team can make with no budget is going to make CTF good.

How do you expect the flag carrier to ever outrun an entire team of grapple and stim users if they can't use their own? The maps would have to be significantly reworked so that you can reach comparable speeds with skilled wall running. In most of them, you can't, and even the spots where you can are nowhere near the flag base. You could solve the problem by just removing speed tacticals entirely, and then the thing to do would be titan riding or explosive boosting, which requires a lot more skill if we're removing gstar.

phase already drops flags, as it should.
Cloak would be useless with a flag glow, you already have a huge KILL marker over your head at all times.
grapple NEEDS to be killed in CTF, it's half the reason the game mode is trash, because it allows for any pleb who know how to launch to get 5 second caps.

I'm really enjoying the hemlock anytips for not sucking balls at close range?

>maybe make the user invisible but the flag isn't
yeah that's what i said

>How do you expect the flag carrier to ever outrun an entire team of grapple and stim users if they can't use their own?

true, probably just make speed tacticals drop the flag then. that way, you actually need people to escort you and help you win the ensuing firefight. at the moment, there's practically no incentive for teamwork in CTF as far as i can see. the closest it gets is having multiple people camping the flag with cancer gstars.

just melee xd

>constantly get killed by stim melees where I get someone down to 10% but they just teleport behind me and break my neck
>knocked over my drink forcing me to DC so I can clean up the mess
>havent had a good killstreak in a while
Send help

try a new meme loadout or play holo satchel

there is no incentive for teamwork in CTF? what in the actual fuck? you must have never played against a competent team before.

Select Mozambique as your secondary.

but i was a dumb ass and bought the b3 skin and I want to show my swag

Well you've made a poor purchase for one thing, because of Wingman being the objectively worst secondary and all. I guess you're gonna have to buy the Mozambique skin then :^)
But really, there's no easy way to not suck at close range with the Hemlok. Rx01s will shit all over you on close range and I needn't even go on about SMGs. Just pray that your opponent is rushing you is incompetent or something.

its tempting but I dont like that skin as much. im just hoping they buff it.

Davis and Droz take a picture with the latest /tfg/ thread: 2287 colorized

Seeing just how burnt-off by the game /tfg/ seems to be, that about sums it up.

It's a bit of a shame, I always liked the Wingman but it's always been kinda trash. The latest nerf to it was the last nail on the coffin.

the thread is fine, I just reply to myself and pretend I'm not lonely

>amp archer
>it still sucks and deals slightly more than a good placed thunderbolt shot
At least it's better at killing reapers i guess? But it's not like i can't use charge rifle if i want that

Rate my loadout

8/10 no meme primary also A+ choice on skin.

bait/10
consider suicide/10

imblying gunrunner isn't okay holo

>gunrunner
>not trash
>actually needing to sprint

the trick holo isn't convincing your opponent that the holo is you. its convincing your opponent the you are a holo.

Man, I miss the days of old salt mining.

The trick is to use not shit tools

Who is the best titan for FD and why?

>disappear in a few shots and never kill them back

Scorch. He's all about crowd control and guess what FD is all about: crowd control.

Scorch for close range maps, legion for long ones
Ronin is also good at 20 with semi-infinite sword core

I want my own fast boi to do naughty things to

shitty devs killed it, not a discord or other small group

sorry, poorly worded. what i meant to say was that it suffers from the same weird catch-22 that every "easy to learn, difficult to master" game suffers from. unless ALL of the players on one team are fully coordinating, there is no reason to attempt to coordinate at all--but if nobody attempts to set up teamwork, it won't naturally occur. what i should've said isn't that there isn't incentive to coordinate, but that there's no built-in, naturally occurring catalyst for coordination. you could make the argument that if you want to tryhard and win then coordination is necessary, but that's assuming that the entire population consists of nothing but tryhards. that, and a tryhard, play-to-win attitude isn't baked into the game or game mode, it's baked into the individual player(s).

what i'm saying is that there needs to be some sort of more explicitly integrated catalyst/incentive to get the average player to value teamwork over running around like it's TDM with a flag on the side.

Sure love how poorly some stuff is worded, refill the gauge entirely is not "extend"

>Ywn be Cobra-chan
>Ywn hug Viper before he goes out on a mission
>He will never assure you that it will be just like every other one; easy as pie and he'll come back unscathed
>Ywn hear the name "Cooper" after a few weeks of Viper not coming back

I just suddenly realised that Cooper wears dark red. He literally would not even have to change clothes to join the OIpex boys. Well I guess "boy" (singular) since Cooper bettah'd all the other top mercs.

On a slightly unrelated note, fucking stoic red/maroon when, Respawn. I know there's a camo pack with that red airbrushed-tiger-stripe-looking camo, but that red is so bright and garish, like lipstick or something. I want a nice, muted maroon like all the Apexes wear.

Along that note, it'd be cool if we could get darker stoic colors. Dark green and dark orange would be sweet to have.
I want more stoic colors fuck.

stop being a gay apexfag, stoic overcast and dark screen is all you need

i was born gay, just like you were born a terrorist-lover. we can't help being who we are, user.

based on nothing but in multiplayer game lines who is the best faction. my vote is vinson because it seems like actual good advice everytime I play.

Focus.
Fight.
Win.

mommy gates mildly cheering me on because i'm a fast, independent pilot who dont need no advice

6-4 obviously, are you some fag who doesn't want family who will kick your arse?

>tfw briggs faction is now my highest level faction because wins in FD apparently count and i constantly forget to switch back after regen
At least now i know from where did all these advocate gifts come

>6-4 obviously, are you some fag who doesn't want family who will lick your arse
ftfy

i dont belive you im only g3 from stupid regen briggs shenanigans.

It extends the duration by 12 seconds :^)

Gates is for ____

asssssssss

i want to gently cup gates' firm ass in my hands and just squeeze a bit

I think you want gently rest her head on her lap while you cry your self to sleep.

>waifuposting
truly the sign of a ded general

well then what the fuck is /feg/ doing getting like 3 threads every time they hit 750.

That's called terminal autism, /feg/ should have been purged from the board years ago

PC Pilots, rise from your graves and get ready to SMASH

Smash is on the Switch though

"Sword core activated"

goodnight /tfg/

*dies*

I'll make room in the bed for you user

>xth for "string of bullshit melee deaths sending you into a tilt faster than a stimmed up slide"

I really fucking hate the lunge so much/one hit melee mechanic so much

go so fast no one could reach you

Melee breaks the speed barrier though

The hell is this and how do I use it

>tfw so bored i started noticing copypasted assets

wtfug

It actually isn't

I'M GROWING STRONGER.

xbone send me funny clips for the shenanigans video - preferred it would be ones of pilots or our staccs but...ya do whatever
TTP

oh shit ya forgot i cant just steal your clips through sharing of xbox so send me links of xboxdvr.com pls

>Avenge me
Fug
Mah hart

Are TF1 clips okay or is it 2 exclusively?

Am I trash for exclusively using Tone?

Did they Nerf Hitscan yet?

I dont know...its a tf2 video so..but i could always use the laugh

You are a boring person
No

>averagextard.webm

Balance idea: make every weapon projectile based

i.imgur.com/5A3JwRl.mp4
Please don't be angry that I didn't put it into a webm I never intended to post it here

>no sound

Ascended Cloak tactical

they arn't all projectile based? I get that the charge rifle isn't but arn't all bullet weapons projectile?
also on dense maps go as high as possible.

>everyone is too busy playing destiny 2 to notice the post
k..guess ill just go steal clips from you guys

>Tfw never got the animation no matter how many times I played the mission

this man has ascended anger, tilting, and salt altogether.

Pray to papa Hyper and maybe sick meme animations will come to you
