Been playing more of this and damn, some people are really good. I need to step up my game. Any advice for Attrition?

I play Hard Point

makes it easy to focus on an area whereas in Attrition I just tend to wander aimlessly until I run into AI or Pilots but my awareness is crap in Attrition while much better in Hard Point because of being able to focus around hard points

Hardpoint is my go to mode, however I recently had a blast playing Last Titan Standing.
There were two matches back-to-back where my team fell 0-3, only to comeback and win the next 4 rounds.

It felt very accomplishing, especially after noticing our team actually starting to stick together and play tactically. I was the only one using a mic, but you could see cohesion forming... brought a tear to my eye.
 
Hardpoint is my favorite. I play it all the time (DeadlyKiller24 is my username)

I played Capture the Flag for a while a few weeks ago, it can be really fun depending on the map, but Titans being able to carry the flag ruins it.

Ya I have had much better success in hardpoint and attrition.

IS this game good on PC?

Yes
 
I haven't played a good fps on pc in years... been looking at this game for a bit

Its twitch, and plays like a combination of Quake 3, Call of Duty, Tribes with giant robots. Its tight, fast and precise. Its the opposite kind of game than something like Battlefield, which is drawn out and larger in scale. These kind of FPS's compliment one another.

While I'd agree that it's opposed to what the idea of Battlefield is, I actually find Battlefield more chaotic than Titanfall. BF4 is just such a mess.

What I like about Titanfall is that ( while shooting is still necessary and a primary aspect ) the most important thing in the game when it comes to success, seems to be your ability to effectively use its movement systems.

Using the parkour of pilots and verticality of the levels really puts you in a superior position in most matches. Similiarly, being able to effectively use the boost bursts in the Titans can be the difference between winning and losing a Titan match.

I agree completely. Titanfall is a twitchy, master-piece gun play shooter at its core. However, the players true success relies not on twitch shooting skill, but rather the movement just as you explained. Being a sharp shooter, quick twitch maniac won't get you shit if you run around like you would in any other FPS.

Timed parkour jumps, wall runs and knowledge of your environment will always give you the upper hand over a better skill shooter. Same for Titan play, sliding, strafing and knowing when/how to exit your Titan will generally give you an advantage over someone who is very skilled shooting from within a Titan.

The movement is actually the single thing that really makes this game shine for me. I keep coming back because I feel like the entire game is an adrenaline rush! I play entire matches without checking my score... when the round ends I almost feel as if I'm catching my breath! No other shooter.. maybe baring Quake 3 or UT2K4 has provided that same level of rush.
 
I prefer attrition, just the way the game mode is set, you can't camp and gain points you have to be out and about....Which is why I hate hardpoint....
 
Ive been thinking about grabbing it soon or when the price drops a tad. As I stated before there are no interesting FPS multi games out or on the horizon besides this one...But the reviews are somewhat mixed so Im not sure if I want to buy it and be disappointed...I never enjoyed the newer CODs or BFs. I did enjoy COD 1, 2 on PC & the old BF 1942 & def loved tribes UT & q2,3
 
Most of the negative reviews I've seen are just people spazzing out because it's a little similar/relevant to the CoD games, which of course are the antichrist of gaming these days. IMO it's bullshit, Titanfall is a great game, it's just fallen victim to the recent trend of hating on popular FPS titles. The only real downside to it in my eyes is it's a little thin on 'extras' like player customization but the core gameplay is extremely solid, and like theNoid said above, it's thrilling and an absolute blast to play.

Titanfall was a cash grab, zero content and overpriced, no one can honestly defend this game....Even paying $33 I feel ripped off lol.
 
How is a brand new studio's first game a cash grab?
Oh gee I don't know, fulfilling an exclusivity deal, announcing Titanfall 2 won't be exclusive and lets be honest; if you're looking at it the way you're, $33 ($60 if you actually paid retail) gets you a shit load of indie game bundles that will give you tons of hours of gameplay and spawn new ideas.
speak for yourself only please
I'm not alone, its a sad reality....Titanfall 2 will most likely be badass.

Yeah I don't think you know what a cash grab is.

LOL go ahead and go play some Super Meatboy or Super Hexagon then. Of course it's completely impossible for a AAA title to be good any more, only the indie devs produce anything worthwhile anymore!! :rolleyes:
 
Anyone else's gameplay seem choppy/laggy even at 60fps? Like solid 60. I was watching last night. My game would get choppy but yet no drop in fps.

heard reports of Nvidia users experiencing choppy / stuttery gameplay

heard reports of Verizon being laggy on Titanfall servers

Logical fallacy detected. And Titanfall is not AAA just because the marketing says so. More like a strong AA since it has several missing elements from what AAA titles generally have.

With a bigger budget for Titanfall 2 and lessons learned I think that one has a stronger shot at being AAA.

I have both and have experienced no problems. 50/25 from verizon fios and a gtx 780.

Can you please clarify what makes a game AA and what makes a game AAA?

AAA use to mean quality, but now its who can pay the most reviewers and create the most press for the release of their game. Hardly any of the budget is spent on developing the game anymore.
 
They really need to nerf the lock on distance for the smart pistol. I've been killed at some ridiculous ranges.

Totally. As far as budgets go, they really have little to no bearing on the quality of the game. Most big budget games have at least an equal amount dedicated to marketing as they have to actual development. I think in most of those cases the marketing budget is actually much much larger than the development budget. Then there is another giant portion of the budget dedicated to licensing fees, legal fees, production contracts, and so on and so forth. I'd wager than in your average "AAA" budget title you have 1/4 to 1/3 of the budget dedicated to actual game development.

Titanfall is a fantastic game for me, with tons of replayability of the old style, as in its fun to play so you want to play more. That for me, is worth more than any type of rating or categorization.
 
4/10/2014 Patch Update Details

NEW FEATURES (All Platforms)

Private Match (beta) - This is the first public test of our new Private Match mode. This gives you a way to organize matches with and against your friends, for casual or tournament play. Some features are unfinished or not yet implemented, and we welcome your feedback. A few highlights:

• Private Match supports 2 to 12 players, with 1 to 6 players on each team.
• You can start a new Private Match lobby by choosing it on the main selection screen (alongside Campaign, MP, and Training). Invite your friends in or have them join you at any time.
• Choose any of the game's maps or modes (CTF, Pilot Hunter, etc.) to play in.
• Choose which team you're on.
• There is no XP gain, challenge progress, or achievement unlocking while in a Private Match. For this beta, the Last Game Summary screen will display what you would have earned in normal play outside of Private Match, but be aware that this progress will not be recorded to your lifetime total.
• For this beta, there is no concept of a "lobby leader"; any player can change game options in the lobby or start/stop the match countdown.
• All Private Match games are still played on dedicated servers via Xbox Live Cloud Compute, just like normal matches.
• New options like round time, score limits, and much more will come in future updates.

Party Colors - Your party members and their titans now show up on the mini-map with green colors, instead of the normal blue colors that other friendlies use. Their names are also drawn in green on your HUD, the obituary text, and in the pre-game lobby. This helps you figure out where your friends are and what they're up to, especially in the heat of combat.

Auto-Titan Color in Obituary - Your auto-titan's name now shows up in the obituary with the gold color that your own name does. Previously it had the same blue color as any other friendly. This makes it easier to keep tabs on how your titan is doing.

Removed Wall-hack Exploit - PC cheaters were able to modify their local configuration files to enable a sort of wall-hack cheat using legit game code. We've closed the exploit that they were using.

Menu Changes - "Play Multiplayer" is now the default (top) option on the private lobby menu, if you've completed both the IMC and Militia campaigns. It has also been renamed from "Play Classic", since the term "classic", which we used internally, proved to be confusing to some players.

Game Version on Main Menu - The main menu now displays the game's version in the bottom-left corner. Now you don't have to wonder if you really do have the latest version of the game, and we can use that to double-check things if support is helping you troubleshoot issues.

NEW FEATURES (Xbox One)

Party App Shortcut in Menus - Added a shortcut on all menus that opens the Xbox One's "Party" app by pressing Left Trigger on the controller, similar to the existing Right Trigger shortcut that invites friends. You can then press 'B' to close it when you're done, or leave it up. (This is much easier than the manual method of going to the Home screen, opening "My games & apps", selecting Apps, scrolling a few screens over to the "Party" app, and opening it.)

GAME BALANCE CHANGES

The Gooser Challenge - Based on recent feedback from fans of the game, the Gen 5 challenge requirement 'Gooser', requiring players to kill 50 ejecting pilots, will be reduced to 5 total. We had a couple of design goals for Regeneration. One was to give players a structured way to discover and experience ways of playing the game they might not have otherwise tried on their own. The second was to recognize players' mastery of various skills, going beyond just 'time played'. We went a bit too far with this challenge, especially considering the unique conditions that have to be met just to have the opportunity to get a kill on an ejecting Pilot. We understand some players have already completed the challenge, or have already earned more than the new requirement so we will be internally noting those players so we can recognize their accomplishments in a future game update.

40mm magazine capacity for default and Extended Mag – The default magazine size was making the 40mm too powerful. It is intended to be the only weapon that can take a Titan down without reloading, if used skillfully. However, 20 rounds per magazine were proving to be too high and overly tolerant of indiscriminate fire. We’ve reduced it to 12 rounds per magazine, which still allows players to take a Titan down without reloading, but helps balance it out against other Titan weapons. The extended mag has also been dropped from 25 to 16, with the same design principles applying to this change.

Titan Quad Rocket mag size change – During development, there was a time when the Quad Rocket was too powerful. We made a lot of changes to pull it back before shipping (lessened the screen shake impact, lessened the duration of the first person impact FX, lowered the magazine size, pulled the damage back, etc.) It currently can struggle against other Titan weapons and going back to the 5/6 (default/extended mag) magazine sizes helps balance the weapon and allows players to miss a few shots and still be effective. It was 4/5, now its 5/6.

Titan Quad Rocket damage vs Titan shields – It was taking too long to drop a Titans shields with the Quad Rocket (5 shots). This meant you had to reload before you could even drop an enemy Titan’s shields. This was the only Titan weapon that had this issue. We’ve now upped the damage against Titan shields so that it can drop a shield with 4 shots. Combined with the increased mag size, this damage increase effectively gives you one more volley in the mag to deal serious direct hull damage.

Titan Quad Rocket 'Rapid Fire' Mod's mag size change – We upped the magazine size for the Quad Rocket's Rapid Fire Mod to help it compete with the changes made to the extended magazine (from 5 to 6). The Rapid Fire Mod’s magazine size is going up from 16 to 18.

Amped Kraber Titan damage change – We upped the damage that the Amped Kraber Burn Card does to Titans. It is now the only significantly effective “small arms” weapon against Titans. Note that this only applies to the Amped version of the Kraber. The damage goes up from 100 to 800. We added this to give the Kraber Burn Card a little bit more character, as well as to give you something to shoot if you have a hard time hitting those little Pilots with the Kraber. So snipe away at those Titans…before they kill you!

Hardpoint Domination scoring changes – We wanted to reward and encourage players to go out and capture enemy hardpoints. As important as defending a hardpoint is, capturing them is more important and a tougher task, generally speaking. We did not want to completely remove points for defending, but attacking players were getting too little credit for their efforts. Here is a breakdown of the changes:
• Capturing a hardpoint from 150 to 250
• Assisting in capturing a hardpoint from 75 to 100
• Neutralizing a hardpoint from 50 to 150
• Assisting in neutralizing a hardpoint from 25 to 75
• Killing a player inside an enemy hardpoint from outside (nearby) from 75 to 50
• Killing a player inside an enemy hardpoint from outside (far) from 75 to 50
• Killing a player inside an enemy hardpoint from inside the hardpoint from 75 to 50
• Killing an NPC inside an enemy hardpoint from inside the hardpoint from 25 to 10
• Killing a player outside of a friendly hardpoint whilst inside of a hardpoint from 75 to 50
• Killing a player inside of a friendly hardpoint whilst inside of a hardpoint from 75 to 50
• Killing an NPC outside of a friendly hardpoint whilst inside of a hardpoint from 25 to 10
• Killing an NPC inside of a friendly hardpoint whilst inside of a hardpoint from 25 to 10
• Defending a hardpoint now goes from 75 to 25

CTF scoring changes – We wanted to make sure the big payoff in CTF came from capturing the flag. Killing the carrier and then returning the flag was worth 400 points (combined), while capturing the flag was worth 500 points in comparison. These changes are meant to reward players who capture the flag a bit more than those who kill the carrier and return the flag. Defense is still a very important aspect of CTF so we wanted to make sure to keep defending points high enough to still encourage playing defense. Here is a breakdown of the changes:
• Capturing a flag from 500 to 400
• Returning the flag from 250 to 100
• Killing the flag carrier from 150 to 100

BUG FIXES (All Platforms)

• Fixed an issue where a Titan firing ordnance would not show on the minimap correctly.
• Fixed a rare bug with Pilot health pools that would make them virtually invincible.
• Fixed rare cases where Titans could be called in through solid geometry.
• Titan shields now protect friendly rodeo players from explosion damage (such as from an Arc Cannon).
• Fixed a case where a Pilot could embark a Titan through walls.
• Spitfire LMG and XO-16 firing sounds will no longer sometimes cut off before the gun is finished firing.
• The Archer now locks onto the top of a heavy turret rather than the base of the turret.
• The Archer’s rockets now home in on Titans correctly when those targets are kneeling.
• Fixed shadows incorrectly shimmering on a particular area of Lagoon.
• Fixed Satchel Charges and Particle Walls causing pilots to permanently rodeo other pilots.
• Fixed certain characters not rendering properly in French and other languages.
• Fixed an issue where "Initializing..." would be displayed if a server wasn't found.
• Fixed being unable to scroll to the top of the datacenter list after scrolling down.
• Greatly reduced the bandwidth used when connecting to a server. People who previously could not progress past the load-screen when connecting to servers should be able to play now.
• Grunts now show up on the minimap when they shoot.

BUG FIXES (PC)

• Fixed issues with Asian fonts.
• ‘-nojoy’ command-line parameter now disables gamepad input.
• All anti-aliasing modes should now properly be displayed in the video settings menu.
• Fixed graphics corruption and some GPU underutilization for SLI and Crossfire configurations.
• Fixed a crash in the options menu when toggling between Low and Medium shadows.
• Mouse buttons can now be used for voice chat in lobbies.
• Titanfall will no longer override your Windows microphone volume setting when it is launched.
• Fixed the Smart Pistol reticle so it scales properly based on the Field of View setting.
• Fixed crashes on machines with 32 or more cores.

BUG FIXES (Xbox One)

• Fixed a rare full-screen blue/red flash.
• Audio should no longer overlap after going to the Xbox dashboard and back into Titanfall.
• Fixed a crash when saying "Xbox go back" on certain menus.

COMING SOON IN FUTURE UPDATE

A selection of improvements that will be released in an upcoming update:

• More Custom Loadout Slots with Custom Slots per Game Mode
• Ability to rename Custom Loadout Slots
• Last Game Summary shows the scoreboard from the previous match
• Additional customization options in Private Match
• Better 120hz monitor support
• Pick-up prompt for dropped Amped weapons appear in a different color than for normal weapons

• Enhanced interaction with Challenges. You will be able to review your Challenges by the following criteria:
o Completed (in your previous match)
o Most progressed (in your previous match)
o Almost completed (overall)

• Scoreboard icons will reflect 3 new states:
o Player Evacuated
o Player Dead with Auto-Titan Still Alive
o Player Alive with Auto-Titan Still Alive

And more…stay tuned!
 
Quite the patch notes! Again, I'm very impressed with Respawn.

-edit-

To the guy above me, you're insane. Those notes list a shit ton of tweaks and fixes for the PC.

COMING SOON IN FUTURE UPDATE

• Better 120hz monitor support

c'mon.... this should've been supported since day 1 on PC......
 
I wish they'd update the performance issues on PC.. On my system the game runs at 60fps (capped) 95% of the time but on some maps (lagoon in particular) it hits the frames hard at times (down to 40 or so) for no apparent reason, and we already know the graphics are not that impressive to account for performance like this on a decently high end system.

Even with shadows on low and effects on medium, 2x MSAA and 4x AF I get these slowdowns in intense action (mostly with smoke from electric smoke, 'splosions, etc)
 
To the guy above me, you're insane. Those notes list a shit ton of tweaks and fixes for the PC.

That's a shit ton of changes.

What do you mean?

Many of the patch features are things that any modern FPS had at launch especially one that is multiplayer only.

They still haven't fixed many of the issues like the FPS being capped that were acknowledged at beta.
 
Looks like they fixed the SLI/crossfire artifacting/corruption issues that were keeping me running on only 1 card.

Anyone tried crossfire yet to see if it's actually fixed?
