If you're gonna go with matchmaking, you need a proper ranking system to match even players, like Halo's True Skill or whatever it was called. Maybe there's a hidden system doing stuff here too but as it is now, it's clearly not working.
Of course a server browser doesn't exactly fix that but at least when you find a server that's on your level, it'll usually stay like that and you can just keep playing on that same server.
I think there are a lot of things people don't know about the game yet, like crouching in your Titan--not only does it let you get into some places you wouldn't be able to otherwise, but it lets you exit your Titan faster. Then there's ziplines, which you can ride "uphill" and also drop down from without conserving momentum (CTRL on PC).
Some of this stuff is covered in in-game tips, but individual tips don't repeat that often and most people miss them.
Oh hey, also got that tetris effect for the first time in life. After playing for hours yesterday I decided to watch an episode of The Wire and when I saw the characters walk by a long, high house with a smooooth wall, wallrunning that shit was all I could literally think of for a few seconds

They should be under a roof and the titan player has nuclear detonation.
I've killed myself too many times from ejecting while under a roof

Just shot Militia Captain Zampella in the face :v:
any brits picking up from midnight release tonight at Bournemouth? was thinking about going tonight instead of tomorrow because nothing to do
[QUOTE=Delta616;44224004]The 90 second count down timer is for the campaign mode dialog in pregame lobby, but that wait is stupid in classic gamemodes![/QUOTE]
I wish there was a "rapid" lobby. with.. like.. I don't know.. maybe 30 seconds in between?
Satchel charges are 2fun.
[QUOTE=Lizzrd;44224696]Satchel charges are 2fun.[/QUOTE]
what kind of damage do they do to titans?
Minimal?

Most of the time i'm changing something around between matches, so the 90 seconds is very useful. If there was a ready vote however where 60% or 70% of the people vote ready then that would be fine too
[QUOTE=ZakkShock;44224706]what kind of damage do they do to titans?

What I like to do is rodeo a titan, magdump and then place two charges. Works great.

Symthic has Titanfall stats now btw.

So bunnyhopping is a thing.

Wallrunning makes you go faster too.
wow it takes like 5 minutes to find a campaign match. IS none playing these any longer already? :v:

5 minutes? When I did the campaign just 2 hours ago, it wouldn't take more than 2-3 minutes for me to find a match.
had an epic life
killed 2 titans with a doom nuke, landed on a third, rodeo'd it to death, landed on a fourth, rodeo'd it also, then managed to jump from there to a wall and run all the way around to another titan(this is that one map that has all the high canyon walls with the thin passageways) and kill with the archer while jumping all over the walls, ending it with a stealthy execution of a camping anti-titan guy :dance:
in short, I disabled the other team's titan force without touching the ground
I think the most frustrating thing right now is when you have an awesome game, and you still lose because of 1 or 2 team mates.
I had 107 points in attrition, we lost by 10-ish points. Why? Because 2 people on my team had 0 pilot kills, 0 titan kills, between 1-3 grunt kills and 6-7 deaths.
I didn't even know it was possible to die that many times not breaking even with at least grunt kills. :suicide:

That's how he did it, wallrun to gain momentum and then bunny hop to conserve it.
[QUOTE=Agoat;44224052]Private matches are coming post-launch on Xbox One, I'd suspect dedicated servers would come around the same time.
Anyone struggling with certain aspects of the game? I'm going to make some "in-depth" videos on different functions of the game.[/QUOTE]
Dedicated servers are already in. What did you think you were playing on?
[QUOTE=Spetsnaz95;44223249]Just witnessed a IMC Grunt being a badass. He literally jumped into a group of Militia, stabbed two of them, tossed one over his shoulder (which for some reason killed the guy) and shot the last guy.
Seems like they have really tried to add in a sense of war in this game. That even the cannonfodder can do some kickass stuff.[/QUOTE]
I just witnessed an IMC spectre being a total dumbass.
He walked into a room, spotted enemy pilot hacking a turret, started shooting at her, WOBBLING HIS GUN AROUND LIKE AN IDIOT.
It was like he was trying to hit everything except the pilot. It's like when you randomly wave your mouse around on the mousepad.
It was so funny and so sad at the same time, him standing there completely still except for randomly rapidly tilting his head and his gun.
The AI in general is pretty useless. I can count the amount of times I have been killed by them on one hand, and its only because a pilot or titan had almost killed me when I rounded the corner and got shot or kicked by them.
Just look at spectre hacking. You hack one while the entire squad has at least five seconds to shoot you and they just stand there.
Started downloading at 1... it's 8:30 and I'm only 80% :(
I hate living in the middle of nowhere.

[I]*OHGOD A PILOT*
*He's, He's stabbing him! its just so brutal, what do we d-*
[B]*Executing Follow Command*[/B][/I]
note to self, don't try to hack a spectre while one is literally right next to him, I actually got melee'd to death by a spectre
I always shoot them just before I realize I could have just hacked them.
To sum up my experience with loadouts: equip vortex shield, 10 thousands pilots will rodeo you that life. equip electric smoke, you'll meet a hundred titans that life.
Use stryder, spam dash instead of using shield.
Win-win.
I have yet to use any other titan aside from the Stryder. The extra dash it has over the Atlas, as well as equipping it with a quick recharge dash tier thing makes it so you basically always have a dash up. I can get anywhere on the map incredibly quick, I can dash out of the way of pilots trying to rodeo me at the last second and just smash them in the face, and I can dash left and right to dodge any pilot locks / titan locks / rocket salvos / 40mm / any projectile weapon of any sort. It's just so damn good
