xb1 beta is fully open, pc to come later, maybe within the next few days
kind of a waste seeing as how the beta is going to end relatively soon
[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;43943222]It's a really dumb thing, but it really bugs me that you can't see your body/legs while in a titan[/QUOTE]
Halo games are the only games I can think of where you'll actually see something when you look down, I don't get why more games don't do that
Oh wow I haven't received a mail and thought I was left out when I've just found out that it's on my origin list. This week is gonna be awesome.
Electric smoke or vortex
[QUOTE=Citrus705;43943443]Electric smoke or vortex[/QUOTE]
Vortex if you want to not eat shit from missiles and heavy fire, smoke if you want to not eat shit from rodeos and also can be pretty effective if a Titan decides to stand in it
a lot of times you can just dash away from missle / lock-on fire anyways
[editline]17th February 2014[/editline]
electric smoke all the way
I just dash away if I'm getting pounded by missiles and cannons. Vortex might come in handy if you're up against multiple titans though, especially if they aren't smart enough to stop shooting when you have it up.
I don't seem to get a lot of kills from electric smoke though, do you have to crouch or something to keep the rodeo'd pilot in the smoke?
No, just stand inside the smoke
[QUOTE=Trooper-guy1;43932884]Yeah I rarely actually pilot my titan. I call it in, put it in follow mode, and speed around with stim and smg. Sometimes I'll use it as an armored escape if I'm being shot at. Jump in and force an eject can get you some airtime and breathing room.[/QUOTE]
Stim SMG and dome shield are fucking amazing for defending and rushing. Just titanfall on chokepoints and force enemies to either run through the dome and take damage or find another way around. It also creates cover against other titans, sometimes scaring them off.
[QUOTE=Del91;43943510]especially if they aren't smart enough to stop shooting when you have it up.[/QUOTE]
that isn't necessary, there are plenty of things you can grab with vortex that the enemy can't really react too, like quad rocket bursts and shoulder ordinance
I've used the vortex before and they just kept right on shooting me with their main gun. :v:
[editline]17th February 2014[/editline]
My whole screen was missiles and bullets, I couldn't see anything else.
So uhh, i went into this execting to hate it. [B]HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO MUCH FUN I PUNCHED A TITAN TO DEATH. [/B] This tickles the same spot that pacific rim tickled.
Whenever a titan near me is doomed I spam C, unless they start glowing...

At that point you dash the fuck away.
Also how the hell do you combat those bastards that jump on your Titan? When I get out to shoot them they already have run off.
I forgot to mention that I saw a real size titan.

you know i was trying to figure out how tall a titan is
kinda similar to the greek titan's height, about 15-20 feet. similar to an apu from the matrix.
Titans are 24 feet tall, just under 7.5 meters if you're metric
There's definitely some balancing that needs to be done, as well as an actual matchmaking system that doesn't just toss you in with whoever. I'm running around with a ~90%+ win ratio, 9.0-10.0 KD ratio against players and like 18.0 overall. Once you figure out the unbalanced setups it's far too easy to abuse them.
Silenced carbine with any sort of a sight = by far the best infantry gun in the beta, because of it i can get a few easy kills off the start of the match combined with a burn card and have my Titan MINUTES before they have theirs. Electrical smoke, 40mm cannon with extended ammo and having that titan minutes before they even have their first one means you've already won the match. Basically every match i play now i'll have 5-10 pilot kills before they even get their first titan drop, and at that point my teammates already have all their Titans up and the enemy team doesn't stand a chance. The system needs some refining

The sheer stronkness of the carbine reminds me of how in Crysis 2 the SCAR kills everything the best in every way, it needs some recoil or lower ROF or something

Personally I think there should be a scrambling of team members after every match. But as for everything else I'm not really seeing much of a problem with.

When i decompile these vpks it's going to be interesting i wonder if they switched over to bone animations or something because thats so horrible

Playing on Fracture, my titan got fucked up so I bailed and landed on an outcropping that doesn't really have any way up to it other than ejecting, the titan that had managed to blow mine up saw where I'd landed and was trying to snipe me, I cloaked and jumped down to rodeo him, and he ejected out of his healthy titan on my way down, like a 4 second fall. It started to glow and I had already double jumped. :(
Decided to try the game with low texture resolution, and it seems to run fine. Looks horrible but with the crazy pace, it's not that big a deal. Had a lot more fun than I had a couple of days ago too, so much in fact, that I think I'll pre-order the game some time soon.
I just got killed by a titan being dropped on me, and mind you I wasn't stationary.
What are the odds, fuck.
I had a strider from a card at the start of a match once, and I think a drop pod landed on me. Haven't gotten another one since. :(
Too bad this game is just a cod with something more. It was really fun at the beginning but after 5-6 hours you realize how limited it really is. I tried to discover new ways to play or new strategies but it really is limited. For someone like me that like extremely dynamic and complex games like quake it's not worth 50 euros (maybe 5 euros would make the deal). I was really hoping for something really good!
Oh and for sure the game does not suggest team play:v:
[video=youtube;q6qv9J-WaWk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6qv9J-WaWk[/video]
Full game will have remote charges and fun stuff like that, so I can imagine there will be a lot more fun things one can do.
If there's someone here that prefers "hold" over "toggle" for ironsights, I made a little AutoHotkey script for download [url="https://www.dropbox.com/s/tha1c3wenms7duo/titanfall%20hold%20ironsights.ahk"]here[/url] (standalone .exe [url="https://www.dropbox.com/s/ymg1fdpmemdi1av/titanfall%20hold%20ironsights.exe"]here[/url], but idk how that interacts with anti-cheat).
Only activates when Titanfall is open, so it shouldn't interfer with other software if you keep the script in the background (tho my AHK has a habit of disabling natural hotkeys like ctrl+v, so I kick it when not needed anyway).
Tested it a bit in training mode, only side-effect I noticed was that my steam overlay screenshot function - which is bound to capslock - kept making screenshots while capslock was active and while I was holding down the right mouse button. So if for some insane reason you got something bound to friggin capslock of all keys, watch out.
Also tried modding that script for crouching, but it didn't work.
[QUOTE=Skyward;43942133]Anyone? :c
I don't wanna use the card without at least going in with an idea of how it works.[/QUOTE]
If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's hold down the left mouse button to charge it up, then release key to fire charged laser. Pretty straight forward.

for something that pops up on screen for ~3 seconds every couple of minutes during a match(not to mention ~beta~) i don't see how it matters that much what it looks like
For crouch maybe have it hold down the button and repeat the downpress after every movement imput type thing.
