Oh what the hell, why am I suddenly only get amped weapon burn cards, I haven't received a single one that wasn't a gun in a really long time.
Done some amazing things tonight. I got two auto-titan kills with 1 titanfall, as in, my titan dropped right on them while they were in their bubble. Also got a double titan + one pilot kill by kamikazing as a titan with unstable core against cornered enemies.
My brother instead sent someone in orbit by punching him in midair as a titan.
I love having my auto-titan follow me around, it's strangely adorable.
And right after I made that post I got like 4 new burn cards of new stuff that I haven't even had before and none are guns after a single round.
i just noticed fracture is actually a moving level on tectonic plates. like look at the buildings in the back ground.
Christ, is there any way to play as the IMC? I want to see what they're like for a change, not to mention they look way cooler than the militia guys.

I like how they pick you up and gently place you inside them. :3

I have the exact opposite, I've been militia like once and IMC every single other time.

it's even funnier when you throw a pilot archer straight back at them and turn them into a little red mist
FINALLY after 40+ games, get into a match where it's actually balanced and my team isn't stomping the other team. Have 2 matches where both games end within 10-20 attrition points of each other, no one left everyone was level 14 having an awesome time.. and then i crash.

Yep, the retard CoD player mentality fits into Titanfall pretty well, unfortunately.
[QUOTE=YourBreakfsat;43950295]How do I wall hang and how do you guys deal with people chasing you with smart pistols?[/QUOTE]
just fyi the time it takes to kill someone with the carbine is significantly faster than the pistol's lock on time
so there's no reason you should lose to a smart pistol head-on, though surprise attacks are a different matter

But you can shoot the pistol without a lock too
[QUOTE=JoonazL;43952522]But you can shoot the pistol without a lock too[/QUOTE]
in which case it's still weaker than the carbine... and delays your lock

The frustration with the smart pistol comes when you're in close quarters with it. If you're having a pilot vs pilot battle where you're both sprinting and double jumping and wall running constantly while trying to shoot each other, only to find you got killed by them because they kept you within the giant scope of their screen rather than on their actual crosshair for a total of what i believe is 1.5-2 seconds? maybe even less? It takes the skill out of those fights. I could have incredible aim, but in a close quarters battle like that it's incredibly difficult to hit someone with all of your bullets and take them out, while they can just jump around and have it auto lock and kill you in one go. you can't get more casual and silly than that

Imagine the fast paced gameplay of quake 3 arena (which is very similar to the double jumps and wall jumps etc. of titan fall), and then give some players a gun which just auto locks on instead. it diminishes that gameplay entirely

Except it takes 3 locked on shots to kill a pilot, each lock takes about a second, if they manage to get all 3 locks they probably would have killed you anyway, and if you leave the target area they lose all the locks.
Close quarters is actually the hardest place to fight with the smart pistol because if the enemy jumps you lose your lock and they can kill you with their weapon in less than a second, especially since the aimed rounds of the smart pistol are weaker.

He begins his lock on and fires in exactly 2 seconds. That's all you have to do, hold them in the MASSIVE space that is your screen for 2 seconds and they're dead. Do you seriously think 2 seconds is enough time for anyone to react? Calling that pistol balanced is hilarious to me.

why do people keep comparing titanfall to quake? there are zero similarities between the two games.

well, not exactly
this game is nowhere near as fast as q3, and even with the parkour and shit like that movement is very predictable and it's very easy to take someone down rapidly with the smg, shotgun or carbine
close quarters is like 2 guys in a room, in which case no one is doing parkour shit unless they want to die instantly, either way you kind of suck if you can't kill someone in 2 seconds with this game's ttk
now the smart pistol is pretty potent as just a regular hipfire cqb weapon, but so is the shotgun (one-shot kill) and the smg (especially with scatterfire) so it's hardly like this super gun that can't be beaten (admittedly the carbine isn't as good since it sucks with hipfire, but it makes up for it by having long range viability the smart pistol lacks)
there are certainly situations where the gun is 'cheap' but it's not like it's op or anything

Are you kidding me? have you ever played quake?

There's many similarities in the way the actual pilot movement and therefore combat plays out. It's fast paced, lots of wall jumping, double jumps, mid air dekes, etc. etc.
You have to try hard to NOT see similarities in the movement and combat of that with the medium and closed ranged pilot fights in Titanfall

It takes less than 2 seconds to kill with every other primary weapon, and in a head on fight the smart pistol will lose the majority of the time. Also, in that video he killed a guy that didn't know he was there, he could have done the exact same thing with a fucking rifle.
It's also a fucking primary weapon, why do you seem to expect it to do the same damage as the Hammond?
Will the smart pistol be removed its stupid and breaks the flow of the game
kthx

are you really comparing bunny hopping and rocket jumping to canned wallrun animations? let alone the blatant differences like ttk, run speed, health bar/kits, weapon pickups etc
I cannot imagine a more unfitting comparison in the entire fps genre
[QUOTE=Ghost101;43952274]Yep, the retard CoD player mentality fits into Titanfall pretty well, unfortunately.[/QUOTE]
Not going for objectives isn't a CoD player mentality, it's a bad video gamer mentality. I experience it far more often in Battlefield than I have in any CoD game.
I really wish the origin login prompt had worked in the 10 times I tried to get into this beta. Oh well.

vertical movement! must be just like quake right???
Smart Pistol sucks, it's useless, it's only purpose is PvE.
It's outclassed by all primary weapons and auto pistol itself.
I don't know who would even consider using it, unless having a terrible aim and relaying on 1 kill per 30 seconds.
With a carbine, I'm capable of killing around 3 or 4 people each minute, consistently on all sort of ranges, be it CQB or even long ranges, where DMRs shine.
Smart pistol is overhyped by 0,5 K/D players, who tend to whore it like crazy.
