Whenever I hear stuff about maps not being distinct it's almost always about the lack of a 'sniper map'.

Miotch 03-16-2014 09:24 PM

There are plenty of sniper spots.

I'll be on in a few minutes.

KI now!

Fignuts 03-17-2014 02:41 AM

Haven't even finished the basic tutorial in KI.

I'd get raped.

I like running down people trying to evac the map and vice versa, something about watching someone jumping towards the ship and getting blasted is fun to watch.

This game really stresses communication and I'm not getting anywhere jumping into random games.

I have only been doing Attrition, but I saw there is Hardpoint which I like from CoD. I'm confused about the Campaign portion, is it worth doing? I just go into another lobby like multiplayer and don't feel like sharing a story mode with others unless I hear that it's a good experience and what not.

Miotch 03-19-2014 01:20 PM

Story mode is basically multiplayer with a thinly veiled script before and throughout. It switches between hardpoint and attrition. It's totally worth running through, and even if you and your team lose you still progress.

Fignuts 03-19-2014 01:36 PM

You unlock the Ogre and Strider titans for customization by completing both sides, so yeah, totally worth it from a rewards standpoint.

The experience itself is the same as playing random matches, just with some dudes talking once in a while during the match.

Heisenberg 03-19-2014 02:10 PM

Thanks guys, I will sit down and go through it. I am enjoying it as I left FPS behind for a bit and calling in a big ass mech from the sky is a rush.

One thing I have been good at was trashing grunts for xp. That stuff adds up after a bit. Also it kind of baits the real players to me and I kick them to death.

For those who haven't been following along, Respawn Entertainment has never showed the press or the public the Xbox 360 version of Titanfall, which is being handled by Bluepoint Games. Then, it was delayed a few weeks after the release of the Xbox One and PC versions. Well it's been delayed again, which can't be good news for its quality.

EA has announced that the 360 port will see another two week delay, and is now dropping on April 8th in the US and the 11th in Europe.

No they're not.

I honestly like that there aren't a lot of weapons and stuff. Part of the reason I lost interest in COD is that it just had too much shit in the weapons department.

COD 4 has always been my favorite just because of it's simplicity. Weren't a hundred different guns and perks and stuff to upset the balance.

That said, I still think that for 65 bucks, they should have tried to get a few more game modes, split screen, and private matches. Especially if they weren't going to bother with single player.

I'm having fun and I don't regret my purchase, but I certainly don't blame those who feel they didn't get their money's worth.

Kalyx triaD 03-20-2014 04:04 AM

Private Matches will be added in an update, that much as been confirmed. The splitscreen thing is a huge downer, considering their past work. CTF is coming, I guess. Pilot exclusive mode will likely come eventually.

Fignuts 03-20-2014 04:24 AM

CTF is already in there.

Kalyx triaD 03-20-2014 05:06 AM

Oh shit.

alvarado52 03-20-2014 05:26 PM

CTF is there. And it. is. amazing.

Eklipse 03-22-2014 04:10 PM

Playing yesterday on Xbox One, I experienced server connection issues. I would spawn, take a few steps, and it would freeze up. By the time I reconnected, I was watching a killcam. Repeat process. I left the game, but I'm pretty sure the server was modem pausing or something, like they used to do on Halo 2 back in the day.

teamXtremist 03-22-2014 06:58 PM

Yeah I was getting tons of connection to server messages and tons of lag yesterday night

Fignuts 03-23-2014 01:44 AM

Same.

Kalyx triaD 03-23-2014 03:29 AM

I really wish recorded the shit I pulled. Got some epic fails, too.

Fignuts 03-23-2014 03:32 AM

Yeah, XBone definitely could have benefited from something like PS4's share button.

Kalyx triaD 03-23-2014 05:05 AM

Well that too, but I was more blasting myself for not connecting my capture device like I totally said when I got home.

Blitz 03-24-2014 05:41 PM

Anyone playing on PC? Been torn on whether or not to get it on there. Worried my computer will have trouble running it. I ran the beta fine. There a slight bit of slowdown when things got really fucking crazy, but otherwise it ran fine on low/medium settings, which is all I need. Is there anything more intensive in the final game?

Kalyx triaD 03-24-2014 11:35 PM

Not really (I've been on X1). There's less going on than a game of Battlefield 4. And you were spared the launch day issues which have been smoothing out.

teamXtremist 03-25-2014 11:28 PM

Damn xbox live
issues

Emperor Smeat 03-27-2014 05:21 PM

Respawn Entertainment states they have started to move cheaters from the PC version into their own server which they described as the "Wimbledon of aimbot contests."

They also warned people to not join parties with someone on the list or else they also get moved to the cheaters server but can play normal servers by leaving the party.

Quote:

Respawn has been using the FairFight system to detect cheaters on the PC since the game's launch, and if you're caught you will be banned from the general population. You can still play the game, but you'll only be able to play against other cheaters.

"You can play with other banned players in something that will resemble the Wimbledon of aimbot contests. Hopefully the aimbot cheat you paid for really is the best, or these all-cheater matches could be frustrating for you. Good luck."

Note that if you join someone's party that has cheated you will be stuck playing against only cheaters too. Once you leave their party you'll be back to your own happy world of not assholes.

Emperor Smeat 03-28-2014 05:17 PM

Respawn states they have tweaked the “Gooser" Gen 5 challenge requirement from needing 50 pilots to be killed in mid-air to now just 5 are needed.

Fignuts 03-29-2014 01:49 AM

Thank fuck for that.

Malfeitor 04-05-2014 06:29 PM

Got the One a couple of weeks ago. Titanfall is amazing.

360 Version:

Not bad.

alvarado52 04-08-2014 06:06 PM

Figured it would look fine. Titanfall isnt breaking visual barriers. The 360 shows its age with frame rate on this one im sure...hell, even the One struggles when there's a good amount of Titans in one big brawl.

drave 04-09-2014 02:12 PM

How's this title holding up a few weeks post launch? Need to get a new title for Xbone but wasn't sure if the longevity is "there".

The beta was super fun.

Fignuts 04-09-2014 02:28 PM

Titanfall on Xbone is still going strong. Imagine it will stay that way for some time.

Emperor Smeat 04-10-2014 05:41 PM

Respawn has posted the full patch notes for the update on the game’s official website. The number of bug fixes, balance tweaks, and new features is too much to list in full, but here are a few of the biggest changes:
  • Private match beta support added, allowing you to start rounds with as few as two people and manually select game modes and maps. You won’t earn XP, challenge progress, or achievements while in a private match, however.
  • Members of your party now have their names highlighted in green so you can better tell them apart from your other allies at a distance.
  • A wallhack exploit has been fixed.
  • The Gen 5 “Gooser” challenge has been reduced from 50 to five.
  • The 40mm cannon default and extended magazine capacity has been reduced from 20 and 25 to 12 and 16, respectively.
  • The Quad Rocket now does more damage against Titan shields, and the default and extended magazine capacities have been bumped up by one apiece. The Rapid Fire mod’s capacity for the weapon has been increased by two.
  • The Amped Kraber burn card now gives the weapon a huge (eight times!) damage boost against Titans, making it an effective anti-armor option.
  • XP/score rewards have been altered for Hardpoint and Capture The Flag game modes to reward offensive actions—capturing a point or capturing a flag—and lessen the gains for defensive actions—defending a point, killing a flag carrier, and returning your team’s flag.

Again, though, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. For the complete rundown, check out the full list.

teamXtremist 04-11-2014 01:15 AM

Hate they nerfed the 40 mm cannon and then they add to the allready op quad rocket?!

Disturbed316 04-11-2014 03:36 AM

Anyone picked up the 360 version yet? What's it like?

Kalyx triaD 04-11-2014 04:48 AM

I may get it but vids pretty show it's a lower resolution Titanfall that runs at 30fps.

Kalyx triaD 04-12-2014 01:33 AM

Nice. I may be on tonight.

Emperor Smeat 04-14-2014 04:55 PM

During Respawn's Titanfall development retrospective panel at PAX East, the game's development team announced the first batch of DLC for the popular Microsoft exclusive mech shooter will be available next month.

The "Expedition" pack contains three brand-new maps set after the story of the main campaign. The first map, Swampland, is just that, a swamp but with plenty of trees for wall running and archaic alien technology to use for something(?). The second is Runoff, another water themed area that's a bit more industrial, as it swaps the trees for pipes. Map number three is War Games, which takes place inside of a Danger Room-esque training simulator.

The developers also said free updates such as additional game modes (like 2v2 Last Titan Standing) and new Titan burn cards will continue to roll out over the coming months.

As for other additional features, players can expect a #hashtag-based match making system, Titan customization options, and daily challenges at some point down the line. A Hud-free option for Spectator Mode is currently under consideration.

Emperor Smeat 04-17-2014 05:48 PM

Game was never meant to be an Xbox One exclusive but happened that way because of two reasons: Sony wanted a Vita version instead and refused to help on a possible PS4 version.

Quote:

According to Geoff Keighley’s Final Hours of Titanfall app, Respawn approached Sony to see if they would offer up the PlayStation 4′s specs in the hopes of bringing the game to that system. Instead, the hardware manufacture said they weren’t ready to discuss those numbers and tried to push Respawn towards their handheld instead.

Curiously, Sony’s reticence seems to have played a major role in the game’s eventual exclusivity. Microsoft was apparently willing to invest in making sure that Titanfall was a timed exclusive, but Keighley writes that the lack of early info on the PS4—coupled with the small size of the team at Respawn—were what made Xbox One exclusivity “a virtual certainty” during the game’s development.

Fignuts 04-29-2014 04:47 AM

Cleaned up with the smart pistol tonight.

49 minion kills in one game.

Doesn't work on larger maps, with more open spaces though. Needed to run Carbine on those ones.

Seriously though. Smart pistol + Silencer + Cloak + Bot Finder just DESTROYS the other team's support.

Kalyx triaD 04-29-2014 06:21 AM

Grinding the bots adds up after a bit.

I was having a harsh time since I restructured my classes. My Titan classes are fine, but I'm still trying to nail my Pilot classes. Nothing feels quite as at-home as when I finalize classes on Halo, Battlefield, or Transformers. When I find the right combo I should get with the program. Sensitivity is still too damn high for my tastes, even at their version of low.

Fignuts will never know how I saved his life from half the map away with my Titan's charge sniper thing. When that guy's shields suddenly dropped and then he was Doomed a few moments later for you to finish; ME.

Soooooo still no release date? We're already hitting the middle of may.

Swampland looks cool though. Was hoping for another game mode with this. Maybe in a free patch.

Kalyx triaD 05-13-2014 11:41 AM

The update drops today so I'm thinking next week.

Eklipse 05-17-2014 09:08 PM

The new maps are awesome. Swamplands is my favorite. Perfect for Titan battles.

Kalyx triaD 05-17-2014 09:56 PM

Yeah they have better flow than the launch maps.

Emperor Smeat 05-19-2014 05:31 PM

PC version had CTF and Pilot Hunter removed as their own playlists with the official reason being too few players were playing those modes. Respawn Entertainment did state those 2 modes are likely to return in the future with some new tweaks to make them more interesting to play.

Quote:

Respawn has announced that it removed the CTF and Pilot Hunter as separate playlists in the PC version of Titanfall because the number of players accessing them was too low compared to other modes.

“We have an amazing and large PC audience with the vast majority of users predominantly playing Attrition and Hardpoints game modes. CTF and Pilot Hunter have not been widely used modes on the PC versio,” the developer wrote in a blog post. “Players trying to access these modes had overlong wait times to find other users and it was making for a poor experience.

Kalyx triaD 01-28-2015 11:32 PM

Yeah I also took advantage of the sale and got Titanfall and the DLC packs so I will be down for this in due time. The base game is going for $10 and the Season Pass for all the available DLC is $6.25.

I'm thinking this means a sequel will be announced at E3 or whenever but for now prepare for Titanfall.

drave 01-29-2015 05:36 AM

They had the Deluxe edition for $12.50 which I thought contained the base game and all DLC?

Either way, after the bit that I have played, I would be down for a sequel. Game is great.

Kalyx triaD 01-29-2015 06:03 AM

Didn't think the deluxe was also marked down, but I still ended up spending $11 in the end.

drave 02-02-2015 05:34 AM

This game is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.

Love the fast pace, twitchy feel. Auto Titan = winning on Hardpoint matches. Managed to hit level 29 this weekend :D

Kalyx triaD 02-02-2015 02:10 PM

Yeah I missed running about. Best possible interpretation of CoD's style.
