I hope there's something in the full version that will make hacking more viable. Seeing a group of Spectres following your lead is cool and all, but they're really useless gameplay-wise in my opinion. By the time they drop in groups you're generally better off fighting Titans anyway, rather than trying to get a couple Spectres together. And if you want to get Spectres early you need to walk right into the enemy camp and stand around for ages while all the pilots are swarming around looking for kills.
Maybe give them bonus stats and faster reaction time upon conversion or something. Maybe even some squad command menu so you can at least use them to distract a Titan you want to flank from a different angle, or let them farm other bots.
Where the player goes it's usually so dangerous they'll just be cannon fodder, if they can catch up at all.
[QUOTE=RocketRacer;43939174]Everyone is praising smart pistol while for me it's 'meh'. A cool weapon but not as great as you jump kick other players in face in cloack or shoot them randomly with AR.[/QUOTE]
I thought it was pretty weak when I first tried it.
Then I unlocked Enhanced Targeting and now it's really strong IMO.
[QUOTE=digitalforce;43939112]Came into the PC beta extremely skeptical.. came out having a blast. My Feb/March/April just got REALLY crowded on PC:

[QUOTE=LuaChobo;43939242]instead of playing cat and mouse with vortex shield, just jihad dash up to them and pop smoke then shoot them a shitload, if you almost die just nuclear eject and you will most likely get a kill
then go back to rodeo and shootbang[/QUOTE]
Exactly, I found that with that combination, as soon as your titan blows up due to nuclear ejection, it goes into countdown till new one and ALL of the damage done by electric smoke and ejection counts towards new titan.
I had a moment where I smoked and ejected, killing 2 pilots and tons of minions and damaging 2 titans in the process (destroying 1, other survived, as it was fully healthy at the moment of explosion).
After that I had like 20 seconds left to a new titan, like 5 seconds after ejecting from old one!
It's amazing.
[QUOTE=Neddy;43939219]Anyone still after a Origin Key?
Got a spare one in my spam email so[/QUOTE]
I'd be interested for my brother!!
edit: I'm slow as FUCK. :)
Thanks for the offer though.

You are the best and I love you.
Still looking for a spare key if anyone happens across one, no luck with the support trick :v:
electric smoke never seemed that good to me
I never noticed it do significant damage and I've used it with people riding me and it didn't kill them

Going to try and ask support for a few keys and see what they say. If they do i'll throw some keys down in this thread

Chances are they knew to hop off when they saw the smoke. The smoke doesn't go zappy right away, it takes a second to start dealing damage.
I use it because vortex shield shots are piss easy for a good pilot to avoid (not that a good pilot would feed it up anyways), and it serves as excellent area denial.
Also, for rodeo's, you need to learn the sound it makes when someone lands on your back. The flashy "BOARDER ALERT" goes off only after they've ripped the cover off the core. If you pop the smoke AS SOON as they land on you they won't be able to hurt you without getting killed due to how long the boarding animation is.

It's not instant kill.
But you can see in my video, as some guy jumps on my back, how long it takes for him to die.
I prefer to crouch in the process, as if he jumps of, he will need to reach a bit higher in order to avoid smoke.
Pop it as soon as you know someone is on your back, and just crouch, they won't even see the smoke, due to animation they have and when they do notice it, it's too late.
When it comes to smoke vs. Titans, it seems that fully shielded Atlas is going to lose whole shield and like 25% of health to it, it's great to weaken them in that way.
It also obstructs vision and makes lock-ons impossible through smoke.
It's hard to die in this game it seems.

Is that actually the case? I could have sworn I've been locked onto when in smoke.

Well, I can say it like that.

I've tried to use Archer through smoke and couldn't get a lock-on.
Why do I keep getting into games with incompetent team members?
I know the game is new but ffs I haven't been able to win a single game yet.
titanfall's matches are so unbalanced
it's either you wreck or get wrecked

Well, I've noticed that I'm usually carrying my team to victory, as score difference between me and 2nd teammate at the end of a round, is usually my 18 pilot kills to his 6, THAT'S VERY COMMON !!!
[QUOTE=killergumybear;43939337]if anybody needs a key pm me, i got a spare :)[/QUOTE]
still got it? i have a friend whos interested

You can't initiate a lock after the smoke goes up, if you're already locked on you can still fire.
Got into the Beta 2 days ago and let me say...It is Amazing! Recommend to all of my friends!
woot got into the beta tonight. Had a couple of matches playing it at my brother's pc the last two days and I loved it. Also found a voucher code for 10€ off the preorder!
I know this was quite awhile back in the thread but for anyone interested in viewing the game's textures you can do so by completing the following (I didn't see GameDev post instructions so excuse me if s/he did):
Open up "Documents/Respawn/TitanfallBeta/profile/profile.cfg".
Add mat_texture_list "1" to the bottom and set the file to read-only. The texture viewer will appear when a map is loaded (I recommend training for this).
[url]http://www.respawn.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=5061[/url] this thread seriously pisses me off, the OP is a straight up idiot.

more like getting a titan in the first 15 seconds.
Tried playing this but my computer freezes completely on loading.
I guess it's because Origin was all screwed up when it started installing DirectX?

I thought mine was freezing on loading too but it does that same thing that old source games used to do where it would freeze but it still loads.
Also if you set the game's graphics too high and your computer isn't good enough it'll take forever to load and by the time you get in you'll lose connection to the server.

I let it sit for 10 minutes and it was still frozen; I'm reinstalling it anyway
Joined a match, 3 of the enemy team had instant titan burn cards. Feels bad, man.
uh, what
I pressed Z while being rodeo'd and the game locked up for ~15 seconds
PM emails of origin accounts. Trying to get a few people added to the beta at once on ea live support :v:
Edit : Now have to wait 5 minutes because I accidently hit refresh goddamit
