I'd kinda like to see some sort of short range upwards boost for titans, getting them on top buildings wide enough for them etc
it'd give you a large vantage to see from, but also make you more of a target so it'd be fair

Smart Pistol
my work is done here
the smart pistol is more for killing the grunts then players, sure they lock on to players but most the time you'll be better off using the .45 auto pistol to kill players.
Will just drop this little video, I have found on reddit (it's being on front page for a day or two now on Reddit).
A commentary and a review that I find really nicely summed everything and I really tend to agree on most of his points.
[B]There is also a smart pistol review starting at 4:25[/B], he nicely summed it up and my own 20 hour experience from the beta is exactly that.

I feel like an ultra-light Titan that's almost just an exosuit could be pretty interesting. It has a spectre-type two/three story boost that can only be used on a cool down (so can't be spammed but it's able to access rooftops etc), and uses weaponry only a little heavier than standard Pilot weaponry, but is also about twice or 3x as armoured as a Pilot. It'd be a hit and run style Titan that can perform guerrilla style attacks on larger titans as long as it's careful, but can be killed fairly easily if out in the open or not paying attention. Thoughts?

So, a bigger, heavier pilot? I think it'd be hard to balance.
wait, flip that around
what if there was large maps with [I]bigger[/I] titans
smaller titans would battle them from the outside, pilots from within
it'd be baller

That might be cool, but it goes against one of the major differences between Titans and Pilots: mobility. The rooftops and building interiors are there not just to have gunfights in, but so that pilots can use their mobility to escape a losing fight against a Titan or to give them a place to attack from that the Titan can't follow to with its superior firepower and armor.

I agree with this guy on the range of carbine. Maybe it's just a modern shooter type of thing to have realistic range on these guns, but it's not fun. Only sniper rifles should be lethal at long range.

And you'd have to wait 30 mins to get one.

I've ordered a Teensy, which is a microcontroller programmable through USB. It can fake being a USB keyboard. What I'm going to do is make it output a rapid sequence of X,E,E,E when I push the big red eject button :D

all I can imagine now is someone who reviews games having a big red one that closed whatever they were playing and uninstalled it, and a big green one that leaves a positive review on steam

[QUOTE=XcinoeZ;44025634]There are videos someone apparently got it working on windows 7, but this will be more suitable [url]http://www.roguegamegear.com/product/mek-fu/[/url] it's purely concept at this point I'm pretty sure but it looks AWESOME, and has the built in keyboard now If it were a nice mechanical keyboard you could use that for the regular pilot movement then switch to the joysticks when you get in your titan.
That would be to sick.

Maybe they'll make one in the style of Titanfall, I mean if they made a concept for a f2p game still in beta, it's possible. If not I guess I could just buy 2 flight sticks or a flight stick + mouse trackball.
holy hell install size is 48gb? welcome to next gen I guess

But that was with enchanced targeting, which nobody who wants to stay stealthy actually uses

Even with the enhanced targetting if you count down from when it starts locking on to when it actually locks on it was 3 seconds in that video. Seriously.
I feel like I'm the only guy here that thinks the smart pistol is perfectly balanced and can get you as much score as a carbine if you use it properly.
I hope there will be more then 3 mech chassis, since mechs in the game is one of it's massive selling points.

I don't see why there wouldn't be.
I have a crappy imagination so I can't myself think of any other sort of mech that can be made with its own unique abilities, wondering what do you guys have in mind, would like to hear some ideas.
Support mech with faster regen on it's ability and rockets with a sonar pulse core, maybe

It's a pistol the replaces your primary and can lock on to 3 AI targets heads at once, firing once kills them all. Players take 3 locks which takes longer so it isn't good in a straight up firefight.

The smart pistol is a primary weapon which can lock on to targets allowing shots to curve and hit any opponent. When used against AI it can be used to quickly dispatch a squad with one shot each to kill, when used against a pilot (player) the smart pistol requires 3 locks and is slower to lock on. It has a range of around 15-20 metres but it can be fired without a lock if necessary, though with a damage penalty. You must hold a target in the centre third of your view to lock on, if an enemy leaves the centre of your screen the lock will be broken.
It can also lock on to cloaked pilots, though the lock takes roughly twice as long.
