The Official Titanfall thread

The game would be better with no campaign at all. If you want to cut out the single player campaign, well, that kind of sucks, but don't replace it with a multiplayer "campaign" that is nothing more than just playing all the maps on attrition or hardpoint with a brief introduction before the game starts. The game also seems a little bit lacking in variety, but I think that might get addressed when I level up more. I'm almost to level 20 now.

This is System Wars. At least I have an argument to present here, when you are in Infamous SS theads you do nothing but cry and make childish remarks to try to downplay what has been shown or said about the game.

You seem a lot more like a kid in need of attention given that fact.

Yeah, the campaign just seems like a tutorial and to allow new players to gain a few levels and learn two popular game modes. And in the campaign it doesn't seem to matter if you win or lose, and it's too hard to keep track of what the voice overs are saying during the round

But I mean playing it is actually fun since it is just more titanfall multiplayer

Do you not get enough attention at home?

In the Infamous thread I had a conversation about some screenshots, which I even mentioned looked good. And I responded to some trolls like yourself.

Yeah, the game is good. I just didn't like playing through the campaign twice so I could unlock all the titans. It just seemed like a lost opportunity to me. An online competitive campaign could be really fun if the game would take you to different maps with different victory conditions and character dialogues based upon who won the previous round. It would also create a lot of replayability, because the campaign could end in a multitude of ways (dominating victory, phyrric victory, stalemate, loss), and it would be pretty fun to sit down for 2 hours at a time to play an entire campaign and see how it plays out. What is offered, though, really isn't any different than the classic multiplayer mode, only there are less game modes to choose from. It just seems pointless to me.

I don't think it's too long, actually. On the Respawn forums, there are a lot of whiny basement dwellers complaining about the smart pistol and that it should be erased from the annuls of history because it's too casual. I would actually disagree with that point.

It does make a one click kill possible without a headshot, so the backlash is understandable. However, it takes a significant amount of time to get 3 full locks, especially if the pilot is cloaked. In fact, the best way to avoid getting locked on to in the first place is to simply keep moving, it's really that easy.

I think people complain that they're getting shot off rooftops by n00bs with the smartpistol, but that means that a.) they're not moving at all, b.) they're not maintaining a good sense of what's around them, and c.) they are failing to employ counter-measures such as the enhanced parkour kit, cloaking kit, and the run-and-gun kit.

The smart-pistol is most effective against grunts and spectres, but used well it can be a potent tool against pilots. However, you have to use it well, you have to keep moving, and you have to be able to chase people running around on walls like crazy people. My Titanfall statistics are pretty interesting considering I've never used a gun that WASN'T the smart pistol. In fact, in half the games I've played, I've been the top player on my team.

It just depends on how you play with the kit you have, and it gives Titanfall depth that many would like to imagine doesn't exist. But it does, and it's there, and I can't wait to play around with some of the kits I unlock in the future. Most specifically -- the Guardian Chip kit that makes your titan far more accurate and deadly in auto-mode.

Your actions are no different than mine, except you are crying like a bitch because I pointed out some hype for the game that didn't pan out. Why are you so sensitive?

I also mentioned that titanfall looks fun to play numerous times, I simply point out some other aspects that have come along about the game, including hype, which contradict what some other users have been saying.

You seem to have no problem criticizing other games, so you need to chill the hell out when someone points out and criticizes things about games you are a fan of.

I guess like all things there will be people who are assholes. I've run into like one guy who sat on top of a point cloaked with the smart pistol (boneyard C has like a catwalk area), so I brought in my titan and blew him to hell with a 40mm. I think it's a little long since you can lock from rooftops to ground which seems a bit campy, i think shortening would help use it for it's intended use which is sneaking up on people and getting the lock (it is on the Assassin class for a reason, and it's creation was intended for a guaranteed kill if you snuck up on someone)

There's a difference between criticizing the game, which I've done, and going "herp derp, AMAZON SALES! LEMMINGS ARE DUMB! TITANFLOP! METACRITIC!MEDIA HYPE! MS BOUGHT REVIEWS!"

You came in here basically asking people if they wanted to hear your rant about infamous and titanfall, and I pointed out that no one did as we would rather discuss the actual game and that if you wanted to discuss infamous there was a whole sticky for just that purpose. Seemed like a reasonable suggestion but for some reason you've gotten all butthurt and felt the need to take it personally.

This none professional reviewer made a review more professional/detailed than any sites who've reviewed titanfall. #Believe the Hype. 7/10.

To be honest, AngryJoe is pretty much a professional reviewer these days. That's why he got so upset with youtube screwing things up because reviewing games is pretty much his livelihood

agree but i knew for a fact that if i said "this reviewer" ppl on SW would LOL at "reviewer" so i gave everyone a bone.

It's fun, so much so that I haven't used any other gun YET. Not even kidding... I will branch out EVENTUALLY.

Just stop, your shtick is getting old

I used the smart pistol a few times and hated it. Took too long to lock on and it was faster to kill people by just aiming down the sights.

Heh, there you have it. A hard-core gamer mentality wielding a weapon in a way he chooses.

(I'd say half of my pilot kills are accomplished the same way, actually.)

it kills pretty well at close range if you spam the hipfire, no need to ADS

Couldn't agree more. Funny you would mention the shotgun, because that's the common reply to those who complain.

The shotgun is pretty fun, especially when people try to jump around or get a jump kick and you just blow them away.

Has anyone actually tried the snipers? I've used the DMR which isn't too bad, but the snipers seem silly.

Works well, very well.

Cows are still butthurt I see. I guess they really don't have anything worth playing right now.

Cows, the jokes of SWs

sorry @musicalmac, I think the reason people post in lockable threads is they think it will get the attention of mods faster. Although with a Titanfall one, there wasn't a whole lot of likeliness that it would have quickly exited the front page. And knowing system wars, if it gets ignored and drops down, all of a sudden later in the day or in the week it will pop up and turn into a troll fest.

I felt like I single-handedly gave my team a loss the first time I tried the sniper, lol. I was so awful at it.

It just seems like most snipers end up standing on roofs or in windows completely oblivious...and then I execute them

Lol @ that locked thread. I always find it funny when people call a review "honest" because it supports their predisposed idea of what the game should score. Angry Joe is one of the most thorough reviewers and always presents his opinion well, but that doesn't mean his score is the only valid one.

No worries, thanks.

I've seen some bad snipers, and I've seen some very good snipers. The good ones are some of the more dangerous players you can run into, simply because they do so much to restrict movement.

If you're dealing with a team that's organized and that has a decent sniper enjoying titan cover, you've got a problem on your hands. Traditional lanes between buildings will turn into no-go zones unless you want to get sniped. Can be tricky to overcome, but that's why the game has titans. :D

I did that in the beta. I jumped on a titan and the prompt came up "Press 3 for anti-titan weapon" so I did and then I died.

I've definitely killed myself a number of times with nuclear ejection because I will have to eject under something and then the nuke will get me if I can't run in time

...wow it took me until just now to realize that Patrick Bateman is pointing at an X1. I just thought you liked American Psycho

AMEN. Falling damage in a game like this would have just completely ruined it.

I'll say this for the smart-pistol -- It's difficult to escape alive is the titan you're rodeoing has a smart-pistol wielding pilot inside that steps out to swat the flies of his titan's back. You can jump off, but that pistol will find you... I think those are the most satisfying kills.

Holy shit!

Ha, I do love American Psycho but I wanted to mock the Xbone's "VCR" look a bit, seems like it was almost the perfect crime.

I'm only on level 31 you free time having son of .....

:(

Some user's created alts to damage control because of the score GS gave this game.Some users went crazy in the other sticky for this game or spammed threads that bashed this game.And this does not apply to the user you quoted.

Don't like the smart pistol. I wish there was some warning telling me I'm being locked on by one. Going from alive to dead instantly with no warning is not fun.

I'm looking forward to Titanfall 2 for PS4. it'll be perfect

I haven't been killed by it too many times but yea, a warning would be nice

Yeah that would be a good compromise. I don't get killed by it often but it always just feels cheap when it happens.

@Wasdie: @bobbetybob: @mems_1224: Truthfully, I don't remember the last time I got killed by a full-lock smart-pistol. I'm sure it's happened, but I don't remember it.

Maybe you're not moving enough.

Like I said, it rarely happens but that doesn't stop it from being annoying. The last time it happened to me was during the escape at the end of a match, the guy was just standing at the top of a building and as I was jumping up it he managed to get a lock on me.

...I've done that. :P

I wish Smart Pistol couldn't lock onto you when you're cloaked or something.

lol...

It takes noticeably longer to lock onto a cloaked pilot, that's why cloaking is a good counter measure to a smart-pistol wielding pilot.

It's not like I get killed by the smart pistol often. It's just when it happens it feels really cheap. Even when I'm moving around a lot somebody can easily pick you off with one if they get behind you.

Well, yeah. If they're behind you long enough to get three full locks, they're behind you for more than long enough to mow you down with a machine gun or turn you into giblets with the shotgun.

It's really not all that poorly balanced. It's not even cheap, it takes a long time to get a full lock. Even with the burn card.
