I started out using cloak and power cell for my pilot but have since found stim pack and enhanced parkour kit to be so much better for me. When used in combination I can pick up so much speed and cover ground really fast. It's ridiculous.

Also, nothing infuriates me more than being the best player on a losing team. Playing a game of hardpoint and seeing teammates dragging ass with 12 pilot kills, 2 deaths, and...0 assault points. Basically costs the team the match. Or people that just dick around in their titans when we're down and we need to capture points. Why?

Quote :

"We've managed to get The Art of Titanfall book ahead of its release on February 25 and, in doing so, uncovered a range of new details on the weapons, maps, story and even the monsters of Titanfall. That's not a typo. Here... there be monsters. Watch the video below to see this all-new artwork for yourself (you need to see the Leviathan creature for yourself) and learn much more about Titanfall's maps, creatures, weapons, and of course, hear us speculate about what this means for its story). Before we get to that, let's start with the details we'd already had a whiff of. Those maps that were data-mined from the beta are apparently legit, as there are entries for Colony, Boneyard, Corporate, Overlook, Nexus, Airbase, Outpost 207 and Lagoon in the book. Additionally, there's also an entry that seems to be more lore-focused for a planet called Demeter, the "red giant". It's described as an IMC stronghold that serves as a refuelling point for long-distance jumps, which makes sense seeing as it's named after the Greek goddess of agriculture. In terms of the other maps, there's new info. Lagoon was once a tranquil place, until an IMC megacarrier crashed into the middle of it. The result is an arena that's going to be tight and confined. Overlook is of a similar size, but its a prison complex, designed to hold Militia prisoners of war. Corporate is the Hammond Corporation's headquarters, and looks both sleek and modern, while Colony features a crashed carrier and has long been out of the IMC's reach. The accompanying text for Outpost 207, meanwhile, gives us one of our first proper insights into how Titanfall's narrative will be woven into the multiplayer gameplay. "Militia leader MacAllan is especially keen to make an assault when IMC’s capital ship IMS Sential pulls in for repair, although no Outpost-protected facility has ever been breached before," it reads, "An audacious plan to use a derelict ship as bait is hatched, but IMC forces are unlikely to be fooled quite so easily." It seems, then, that in the case of Outpost 207, this is the backdrop your firefights will take place against. Then we have Nexus and Airbase. There's a lot of art for Nexus, which is set on a planet called Harmony, that has quite a strong mechanical edge to it. Apparently the map was originally planned to feature a huge space elevator that ferried cargo out of the atmosphere, but this was abandoned in favour of a more terrestrial battleground. Airbase, meanwhile, is a distant moon of Demeter. It's got 'dog whistle defences' - giant sonic emitters to keep local wildlife away. Interestingly, it was designed as a gameplay experiment, in a bid to see how giving Titans a tactically superior higher "hill" to hold works. Finally there's Boneyard. It's set on Planet Leviathan in the Badlands system. The planet is named after the local fauna, huge monsters that drove the IMC off-planet and forced them to abandon it. Their skeletal remains provide the backbone for the world and it looks spectacular. There's art showing the IMC battling local flying creatures, while Leviathans disappear into the clouds in the background, looking reminiscent of the gargantuan creatures glimpsed at the end of Frank Darabont's movie adaptation of The Mist. So, what does this mean? Was the original reason the Titans were developed because of the hostile local wildlife encountered on these foreign worlds? It's an exciting thought, one made even more so by the accompanying news that some of the creatures "will walk or fly around levels harmlessly until people interfere. Others will attack when you just stare at them." Looks like you'll have more than just the Militia and IMC to worry about then. Will you be able to set up traps featuring the wildlife and unsuspecting foes? Looking at the section focused on vehicles, a range of hitherto unseen tech is listed, including Drones and Gorilla Tanks. Could these be high level burn cards reserved for those that wrack up killstreaks? A number of weapons are also revealed. The Arc Cannon looks set to fire bolts of lightning that can hit multiple targets, and is designed to be used as a short-range, high-damage option. The Rail Gun, meanwhile, shoots pure plasma and boasts high damage, range and accuracy. Finally, the Avenger looks like it could be the Chaingun masquerading under another name, but we can't be sure."

So, the amped LMG is absurd. Rodeo a Titan and take it out in about 7 seconds. Explodes bodies that happen to walk into it's path. Sick

2/19/2014 8:39:09 PM

Goodbye titanfall, see you in a couple weeks

2/19/2014 11:30:21 PM

Well... still working for the moment. They sent out a tweet saying it might be another couple hours as they tested a couple patches. So get your last moments in if you want them. I love this.

adding tanks and other vehicles would make my day. i love all that crap.

2/20/2014 9:52:05 AM

yes it would

2/20/2014 10:41:04 AM

So, I wasn't really loving this game until Level 10+ when you get custom loadouts and more goodies, more burn cards, et cetera. It felt like the whole game changed for me. Even what was available in the beta seemed varied and fun, without being a lot of different weapons on paper. The burn cards are fantastic, I thought I would never use them but since you get new ones pretty much constantly, there's no reason to horde them. Some of them are awesome--I've had immense fun with the Amped cards.

I want to know if there will be any Titan abilities/loadouts focused on new or modified melee attacks. Titan Punch is just about the best thing ever. Overall just a really damn fun game, even though I took me a little while to get the feel and flow of gameplay.

I need to see if there's a discounted PC preorder available.

I had considered something like this, especially in a more 'ground war' situation with 12v12. Have vehicles rather than Titans, which would cut down on the OMGWTFBBQ that would happen with that many pilots.

2/20/2014 11:51:12 AM

i want a game mode where titans can only mele attack

2/20/2014 1:16:50 PM

^Yeah that would make this game a mandatory purchase in my book. Pacific Rim this bitch.

2/20/2014 1:33:50 PM

that had only just popped into my head after reading the posts about mine, but now that I've thought about it a few minutes I'm even more convinced how awesome it would be.

in fact i'd bet money that this is something one of the youtube video game people will do and post-online

2/20/2014 1:37:56 PM

i want kaijus!

2/20/2014 1:51:40 PM

I don't think it's a bad game, it definitely ticks every box on the checklist for a popular multiplayer shooter. The core mechanics are a lot of fun, but I see it getting very stale very quick for me. Player counts are too low and getting kills is just a matter of seeing someone before they see you. Low TTK plus easy mode weapons isn't a great combination. Maybe on a console with thumbsticks that might not be as much of an issue since it's harder to track fast moving targets. It feels like a PC FPS from the late 90s/early 00s retooled for the modern military shooter audience, but not in a good way.

2/20/2014 4:10:39 PM

It's fun as balls and I'm looking forward to the full release.

2/20/2014 5:14:52 PM

i dont mind low TTK with low player counts. that makes paying attention important and when you CAN win against someone who saw you first...that's satisfying. it does lead to me getting sniped or killed from behind a lot (which can be frustrating). ive seen some cool stuff where i a guy wall jumped backwards over me and host me from the back when i got the jump on him.

the titan gameplay is more of the longer TTK, tactical play. that's why last titan standing is a good mix up from the regular game play. i love the beta mode which moved between all the different map types for this reason.

2/20/2014 5:23:44 PM

dammit, all my other games suck compared to this now

2/20/2014 9:43:57 PM

^ same. i'll probably get on ghosts at some point just to have something to do until titanfall release.. but not really in a hurry to.

wish I had gotten into the BETA. Got my xbox at Christmas and have not bought a game for it yet. This will be my first. My wife and I are really looking forward to it!

2/24/2014 12:57:18 AM

^You could have, the Xbox One was an open beta!

2/24/2014 9:08:44 AM

titanfall + xbox one bundle to be $500.00 per titanfall official twitter feed

2/24/2014 9:18:15 AM

excellent

2/24/2014 9:26:49 AM

Nice. Basically getting the game free. This is going to be a long 2 weeks.

2/24/2014 9:37:37 AM

^ I think the combo also comes with a free month of XBL

2/24/2014 11:44:20 AM

Real sign the x1 is in trouble. Your marquee game comes out, and you have to give it away for free to move consoles.....

2/24/2014 7:29:40 PM

lol

2/24/2014 7:43:47 PM

a game bundled with a console?

INCONCEIVABLE!

2/24/2014 7:48:38 PM

Your best game bundled with a 2 month old console for free....yea ok

2/24/2014 9:04:32 PM

you're one of those people that can't stand it when someone else has fun, aren't you? it's a good deal, man. the xbox one is going to continue selling, and m$ will end up making a ridiculous amount of money off of it.

[Edited on February 24, 2014 at 10:12 PM. Reason : ]

can't wait for this game. don't have an x1 but i'll be mooching hard at a friends.

ps if i log in on my friend's x1, does it automatically move my account from 360 to x1 or can i go back and forth

2/24/2014 10:21:03 PM

i think it's the same but not sure


march 11 needs to hurry the hell up so we can rodeo

2/24/2014 10:41:01 PM

No I have no problem with people having fun, I have a problem with a company throwing up a hail mary 3 months into a 8 year console battle. You don't see playstation giving away killzone for free. As usual you people completely miss the point of my comment.

PS4 is outselling xbox 2+ to 1 right now, think about that for a moment. I like my xbox, but I also realize its a system crippled by kinect and windows 8. Thus it cannot play games at 1080p

2/25/2014 7:01:46 AM

Who cares how many consoles are sold. Ok well I do.

As long as there as I get one, 5 sold to my friends, and 6 sold to my enemies - I don't see the problem.

2/25/2014 8:38:15 AM

2 long long weeks.

Also...is there an Ignore BlackJesus button?

2/25/2014 8:50:19 AM

Hey BlackJesus, if we buy you a PS4 will you shut the fuck up and never come back?

Why? Both systems have healthy sales, so classifying it as a hail mary is misleading. This is a great value for consumers. It only affects everyone in this thread in a positive way.

2/25/2014 11:23:39 AM

You can buy PS4 bundles, you can buy PS3 bundles, you can buy Xbox 360 bundles. His argument is dumb, just ignore him or make fun of him.

LOL dtownral you're a idiot

2/25/2014 6:09:26 PM

Both the editor and managing editor in the article you just linked say the bundle and UK price drop is a good thing.... Both of them, along with Microsoft, see a long term benefit of the bundle and the UK price drop for the future of the XBone. You see... something wrong with it. I guess you see it as PS4 winning something... Which would mean you had a hard on when Xbox360 was outselling the PS4, I guess? Is it just super MS fanboyhood or something? If MS sold an extra 10 million units would that make you happier or somehow proud of owning an XBone?

2/25/2014 7:31:19 PM

No I see it as a price cut on a system I paid $500 for 2 months ago. I don't give two shits which console wins, I can easily build a computer that plays games at 1080p. My entire rant in this thread is about people think a price cut, and giving away your best game is somehow good. Its good for the consumer, its not good for the brand.

If they could sell it for $70 less now, it should have been 430 to start. Nothing changed in 2 months, other than sales < ps4. Its pathetic, believe what you want.

[Edited on February 25, 2014 at 7:51 PM. Reason : .]

2/25/2014 7:48:42 PM

Okay. Yeah, new people get to save $60-70, but we've had 4 months of playing on Xbone that they haven't. I think 4 months of playing on a new system was worth it. I also think we all knew it was going to happen within a year, this is just the most opportune time for them to do it.

2/25/2014 7:56:22 PM

Only a complete noob would assume that it cost Microsoft $60 to give the game away with a full priced console.

$60 is the retail price to the consumer. The free game is a digital download that costs them pennies on the dollar or might even be free to Microsoft depending on how they organize their contracts with game developers.

Every console they get in peoples hand translates to more money from more games dlc and microtransactions

Get that weak sauce crying over $60 out of here

2/25/2014 8:18:33 PM

After the beta, going back and playing BF4....
