It works for smart pistol and Archer when you're in a titan too, last I checked
[editline]24th July 2014[/editline]
Twice as useful since they made the smart pistol down sight fire a peashooter, and archers straight up can't be fired at you
I pretty much always threw away double agents because I had no idea they had all those great hidden effects.
Also when they add the credits thing in the next update, it'll be nice as a lvl50 gen10 getting 3.5x more credits than everybody else and spamming rare burncards.
You know what would this game need? An option you can check to only join lobbies or games that have just started. I swear even queueing up is a chore, I always end up in teams that are getting their shit fucked 3/4ths thorough the match. And a moment ago I joined a CTF match and was greeted with 'DEFEAT' just as I got in, as the team I landed on lost 1-6. That isn't meant to happen, c'mon.
I'm surprised no one posted the new patch notes.

Fixed Titan decal unlocks showing up repeatedly.
Removed pre-lobby after selecting a game mode, now you will be taken directly to the game lobby.
Made wi-fi hacking count towards Spectre leeching for stats / challenges / insignias.

Nuclear Eject: fixed a rare bug where an invincible Titan would be left roaming around the level because the player died upon ejecting.
Lots of yummy bandwidth optimizations as well as various delicious framerate optimizations have been lovingly hand-crafted and squeezed into the game.
Fixed case of being smushed into a solid wall while rodeoing and becoming unable to shoot through the Titan.
Fixed many cases of incorrect or missing impact sounds from explosions including Arc Cannon fire and Cluster Rockets.

does this mean the game will actually feel like 60fps when running at 60fps, and not 20fps?
so when will this go live?
Tomorrow

someday, maybe someday they'll downsize the game.
ah who am i kidding.
Frontier's Edge and Update 5 are out
Game runs even butter...ier? Butterier. Google says that's a word.
I was about to give it a try as well since I'm really curious about the FPS optimization. too bad I can't even play now, gets stuck on searching again. last time I fixed it simply by not choosing marked for death, but this time I can't play any of the gamemodes.
does the game feel like 60fps now? if it does, I'll start playing again. it feeling like 20fps when 60fps made me stop completely

ye
Well mostly.
Woo, my second basic card pack got me a spare stryder.
So attrition is currently unplayable with any weapon but Smart Pistol because everyone and their grandma is using it, and nothing tops it in that gamemode

did they buff it? I've noticed a lot more deaths to it more recently.
Christ I stop playing for about a month and suddenly a massive influx of Gen10s

Oh and the Mining map sucks balls imo

You're not imagining things, it's absolutely stupid and is making the game extremely annoying. I calculated about half my deaths come from the fucking thing
They didn't buff it, people just optimised their loadout and found the Smart Pistol came out top. ALL THE FUCKING TIME

Then there's only one solution. Double agent cards. Lots of them.
The problem with the Smart Pistol and attrition is how fucking easily you get points. I lost with over 15 pilot kills and a decent team because some asshole on the other team had at least 90 minion kills.
I got 91 minion kills earlier today on airbase
fight fire with fire
what makes the smart gun terrible in my opinion is its ability to lock onto you when both are in the air, flying around like there's no tomorrow. all you need to have with the smart pistol is a vague aim on them, while without it you need pinpoint precision. kinda obvious which gun makes it out with a kill
You know what would be fantastic? A clear indicator (sound?) that a teammate of yours is riding the titan nearby. I died by being stepped on twice in a single training ground LTS match because I kept leaping from the roof directly on titans below that lo and behold were already being rodeo'd by teammates.
Partially my fault, I know, I saw the red arrow below then went invisible and leaped. Still..

Called a minimap
am i the only one who really doesn't think the smart pistol is that good
it takes like 2 seconds to lock on so it's only really devastating if they ambush you
The smart pistol is good. Just in a cheap way.
You have a point. Under normal circumstances, unless they ambush you, it should be really easy to deal with them. But I have noticed a trend with people who use it: they're all using whatever abilities that allow them to move around really fast. So when you try to shoot them, they will jump around like monkeys, making it really hard to hit them unless you have a shotgun or SMG (which I don't use, personally).
I don't think the smart pistol is an unfair gun. It just really sucks coming up against someone using it.
So is Frontiers Edge out yet? I had an update a hour ago and as soon I select it ingame it says I dont own the dlc and get directed to store page? I have premium anyone else to?

You have to install it manually for some reason. Right click on Titanfall in the Origin window, click "View Game Details", and then double click on the Frontier's Edge icon near the bottom.
So how is the new DLC? I'm gonna buy the DLC when it goes on sale, someday.
The maps are really cool. I like Dig Site the most - it's probably the smallest map in the game now and really forces interaction between the two teams.
