Titanfall - In Beta (Opening to all)

Maybe people in the PC community make more use of the parkour, but I feel like I'm generally the only one on my teams making the most of it on the Xbox. I practically never see anyone else wall running.

I'd imagine my time spent wall running and in air is much more than most people on this game. Most of the kills I get are people running from one building to another on the ground, I don't get it. Like I said in the post you quoted, I think it's well implemented and is fluent - the mechanics that is. But do the maps encourage it enough? I'm not sure.

Sounds like people do use it a lot more on PC then.
 
Just got my 1st regen on a game where my score was 15 pilot kills, 7 titan kills, 1 death. Felt appropriate :D
 
Came first in two games last night. I also came last twice. My form wildly varies. I still don't know the maps at all. The amount of buildings and rooms makes learning them take forever.

Level 25 now, I think.
 
I am approaching my 2nd regen. I'm on level 46 I think

Great idea they have to meet certain criteria before prestiging.

I didn't realise until about level 30 something so I have been frantically getting shotgun kills
 
I swear I killed the same guy about eight times in a row in one game. A killing spree based on killing one poor bastard, over and over. :lol:

It's great that it forces you to try new guns which will encourage you to adapt your play style. The issue for me is when the weapon is so awful that it's not fun to even reach 5/10 kills with it nevermind 50.

That plasma rail gun has basically pushed me away from Titanfall.
 
I have avoided that gun intentionally because of you. How bad is it?

@Shamwow and @Mr Chutney what do you guys play on?

For me, the game needs more modes in general. And I want those modes to involve more strategy and team work. Capture The Flag should be this but due to the ridiculous ability to take a flag inside a titan the game has no strategy except for 'grab flag, jump in titan, run home'.

I definitely feel like they made this game with titans in mind, but not the pilot mechanics. You can tell by the maps that Titans were going to be included, but I feel like the parkour elements were an after thought.

Don't get me wrong; the parkour is brilliantly implemented and I find it incredibly fluent. The issue is, the maps don't support it particularly well, full of buildings which encourage people to run around inside and play it as if it was COD.

They could definitely do 6v6. I still think the uproar about this was absolutely ridiculous - 4v4 is perfect for Gears of War and I thought 6v6 would be in this, and understood that allowing for more would allow for more titans - but I think they could get away with it. 10v10 would be overkill I expect but I could definitely see 8v8 working.
Saying that, if they made the maps more open and pilots were outside and on rooftops/walls more often it probably wouldn't be an issue.

I'm playing it on the 360 ( My gamertag is Mongowogchopski if anyone wants a game )

I like to switch it up a bit but CTF and Hardpoint seem to be my favourite at the moment

Don't get me wrong the gameplay is great I see it being in between Halo and Call of Duty and I'm a big fan of both.

I agree with the bots as well, there a pointless pain in the arse. As for the maps yeah they could have been a bit more balanced I think, but I'm sure we will see additions to them probably in some DLC packs

I've prestiged now and have unlocked everything so I know which setup I like best as well - It's a bit of a lucky draw as well as to if it's good game, sometimes you end up mullering the other team and vice versa, I've only really been in a few tight ones as of now

Once you get Insta-shot, it will be a whole lot easier.

Been incredibly sneaky with the plasma railgun. I'd hide in one corner, charge up the railgun and wait for my teammates to damage the enemy. When it is near death, I'll rush out and fire the killing shot. Made about 6 kills today.:lol:

You'll get trashed in a PvP context. But it is pretty good at stealing kills. Once fully charged it has a long range shot and incredibly high damage. One fully charged shot will take out the shields completely and damage about 1/6 of the health.
 
I was in a titan, and an enemy titan dropped right on my f*cking head, killing me. Has that happened to anyone else?

Yes they call it the rodeo crush. The drop plus the dome-shield will kill you in one hit. You need to be either incredibly skilled or lucky to do it.

Rodeo the titan until the moment you hear the pilot disembarking, activate titanfall (with Warpfall Transmitter). By the the time the pilot realises that your Titanfall is incoming, it will be too late.
 
F*ck sake. :lol:

I was on quite the killing spree at the time, too. Though I think in this instance it was just bad luck rather than skill.
 
I've done it before but not as many times as it's happened to me

I finally killed an ejecting pilot 2 days ago, I then went on to get another 2

Like waiting for a bus...
 
What's everyone's favourite Titan? I see most using the Ogre but I almost exclusively use the Stryder and have had a lot of success with it. I usually finish top in Last Titan Standing.

It's very good at flanking slower titans and has the best core ability by far.

They made the gooser challenge easier didn't they? I'm still stuck at gen 4. I can't kill anything with the pistol.
 
I should be playing a lot of this tonight from after the game till late. Many beers will had

Is anyone playing?
 
I've just prestiged to level 3, so I will be fairly shit with no weapons

Will begin drinking now so that will help
 
I don't understand the charge rifle challenge. I just doomed 2 Titans with the charge rifle but my score remains at 0?
 
Right, I've tried to invite you to join a bunch of times and I can't get the f*cking game to start. What am I doing wrong?
 
Thank you. I have no idea what the f*ck is going on here. It keeps disconnecting for some reason.
 
Me too. As a Sony boy I don't know how this shit works. I'm used to sending an invite then starting the game.
 
Press 'menu' over their name and go on 'Send party invite'

Or on homepage press 'snap' then 'party'

I did that. We were in the same party (Randy can confirm just how incredible my burps are).

From there, though, we were disconnected every time we tried to enter a game. How should it be done?

Dunno, that sounds like a different problem. NAT perhaps. Never had problems like that before, not on this console anyway but have on the 360.

Randall, I'm going on FIFA bud since it seems to be acting up.
