[QUOTE=Avager;43952909]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.[/QUOTE]
you're right, the smart pistol's main purpose is for pve, which in turn nets you a titan faster.
faster titan = more killing.
[QUOTE=Fenriswolf;43952929]If this game was as moddable as other source games it could easily be GOTY[/QUOTE]
don't think they're planning on mod tools and they're going to opt for dlc.

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.[/QUOTE]
i don't know anyone with a 2 second reaction time...... that's ridiculously slow
the only good point of the smart pistol is that you can lock on while sprinting / maneuvering / cloaked so it's much easier to get surprise kills
how does the titan countdown actually work? like is it x seconds off for every kill or something
[QUOTE=krail9;43952942]how does the titan countdown actually work? like is it x seconds off for every kill or something[/QUOTE]
minion kills shave a little bit of time off, pilot kills shave off a bit more and damaging a titan while in rodeo shaves off a ton

Was this Respawn or EA's decision? Probably EA right?

Considering killing a single pilot nets you 30+ seconds towards it, while getting around 5 grunts is equal to that... yea, sure.
I'm more than fine going with my carbine, killing 2 people, one as a first blood, rape through all minions along the way, as they take 1 or 2 bullets to die (except Spectres).
I must have been doing it all wrong all the time, having this "First to Fall" in 8/10 games I have played up to this date.
How silly me.
Now I need to focus on PvE while totally lowering my versatility at battlefield, due to using an inferior weapon.
It may be good for controllers, but for someone who can actually aim, the difference of 1 second in clearing a whole wave of minions is not a big deal.
[QUOTE=LuaChobo;43952934][t]http://puu.sh/6XsOx[/t]
done with literally nothing but a smart pistol, no titans apart from using one to destroy the ship at the end.
smart pistols can be used well, you just cant go head on like other weapons[/QUOTE]
Yea, true, but the same can be applied to even an Auto Pistol.
You can easily kill people with it and rip through tons of minions.
So I just downloaded this game and it freezes on startup after loading, has this happened to anyone else here?
[QUOTE=Bumrang;43952997]So I just downloaded this game and it freezes on startup after loading, has this happened to anyone else here?[/QUOTE]
Is there some sort of an error or just typical freeze, that you have to deal with CTRL+ALT+DELETE or through restarting PC?
If it's an error, I have it sometimes.
Starting game like 3-4 times fixes it somehow.
Nevermind works now, just had to wait a really long ass time.

a single grunt nets you 12-15 seconds off the cooldown, a pilot nets you 20-30 seconds.
if anything 5 grunts (a single squad) shaves your cooldown timer more than killing a single pilot.
Ok now it crashes when I click play game.
Not having a good first impression of this lol

also i have played quake 3, i've played in numerous tournaments, went to quakecon 2005-2013, and made money off the game.[/QUOTE]
similar
in a sense
titanfall unique
I fail to see the problem
is it possible to reduce the would-be cooldown while your titan is deployed?
I could swear I've had times where my titan is ready like 15 seconds after it's destroyed

I thought a grunt was ~6 seconds?

shoot things
The smart pistol really isn't as big a deal as its made out to be. Its great for cleaning up grunts, but nothing special against players. A pilot with good aim and any other gun will beat a smart pistol in a direct confrontation. The smart pistol really only dominates pilots who can't hit a fast-moving/freerunning target, because it allows you to lock on while avoiding their fire. But if the other pilot can pick you off while wall running, they'll kill you before you can establish a lock.
[QUOTE=krail9;43952404]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[/QUOTE]
You can hang + cloak with a smart pistol. Most people check corners and common areas for contestants, so they will probably not see you if you hang.
has anyone else tried burst fire on the 40mm? it really sucks
[QUOTE=krail9;43953190]has anyone else tried burst fire on the 40mm? it really sucks[/QUOTE]
I have no idea what you're talking about. Burst fire and slaved and an enemy titan can be gone in less than twenty seconds
[QUOTE=LuaChobo;43952985][img]http://puu.sh/70q3Z.png[/img]
basically not on launch, but its not a "no"[/QUOTE]
Thanks. I'm not getting my hopes up but hopefully down the line
[QUOTE=altern;43953287]I have no idea what you're talking about. Burst fire and slaved and an enemy titan can be gone in less than twenty seconds[/QUOTE]
Burst fire blows because it drops your damage by 25%.
[QUOTE=LuaChobo;43937622]id say smart pistol is the same as "noob tubes"
basically its there to make it so newer players can still somewhat match good players[/QUOTE]
Except it's a really easy game to start and get used to.
I haven't even touched the S.P.

i fail to see the problem with what he's saying
[QUOTE=altern;43953287]I have no idea what you're talking about. Burst fire and slaved and an enemy titan can be gone in less than twenty seconds[/QUOTE]
the damage feels really low though, you go through mags quickly, and it's no longer efficient at killing pilots
[QUOTE=ShadowSocks8;43953515]i fail to see the problem with what he's saying[/QUOTE]
I can [I]kinda [/I]see where he sees the elements of quake and unreal, but not enough to really say the two are similar. I think due the it's movement system and added verticality, Titanfall's as close to those games as a CoD-style twitch shooter can get, but all-in-all, they're very different style of twitch shooter. I think it's silly to say they're alike.
But the other stuff (CoD shooting, Mirror's Edge movement, and MOBA-style minions) is all there.

Basically the same answer DICE gave back when Bad Company 2 was released on PC.
[QUOTE=Jetamo;43954278]Basically the same answer DICE gave back when Bad Company 2 was released on PC.[/QUOTE]
I think they actually said at one point that they would, then they turned around and said that Frostbite is so advanced that people wouldn't be able to figure it out.
[QUOTE=LuaChobo;43954275]difference is ghosts wasnt based on an engine that pretty much every other game on that engine has an standard program for modding
if we cant make maps theres gonna be so much screaming[/QUOTE]
Yeah except cod 1-5 had mod support and the community still wants it
