Has anyone here touched Titanfall 1/2 at all? It's criminally underplayed imo

If you're patrick star - the gimmick on the table here is that it's a FPS, but there's also a movement system that has the speed of old school arena shooters (while being accessible to people who aren't good at those things), mechs that you can call in that drop from orbit and you climb inside of, and some neat concepts for weapons/abilities/etc.

For example, there's a badass grappling hook - it doesn't work ala Just Cause where you attach to a point and get pulled right in, but instead it has a bit of looseness in the way it retracts which allows you to maintain/build momentum. There's a sniper rifle with bullets so large the magazine is practically the size of your head. There's a 20ft tall robot with a sword that shoots electricity and blocks bullets. There's a one way wall you can throw down that makes any bullets fired from the one side deal double damage, shit like that

The reason I'm shilling this game so hard to people isn't because of the neat setting or gadgets, though, the game is just damn well made. Like, that movement system I mentioned - in Quake if you want to maintain momentum, you have to bunny hop, which is relatively difficult if you're not someone who plays the game a lot as you have to know the timing for landing. So instead of that they added a crouch slide, where the initial moments of sliding maintains speed, which allows you to prepare a crouch before hitting the ground, then jump and keep your speed going. It manages to have all that depth but keep it accessible which is really impressive, imo

There's also other neat shit like

A campaign that tied with that Doom reboot for "my favorite singleplayer campaign of all time" - I have chronic "can't stick with one game"-itis but I beat the campaign in two sittings, then immediately replayed it on the hardest difficulty (and the hardest difficulty is actually possible without being obnoxiously frustrating, like cod or halo or whatever)
Accurate hipfire(!), to the point of one of the SMGs being so good in hipfire it's actually a detriment to ADS with it (which sucks because it has cool iron sights)
A fair amount of gamemodes, from Attrition which is TDM with bots (which works really well since if you're having a bad game you can farm AI), CTF (which works really nicely with the movement system), last titan standing (probably the most competitive mode and actually uses teamwork), and some other stuff - and the best part is the matchmaking system they added last patch lets you search for a game in any modes you want at the same time
I dunno it's fucking fun

The mythical population issues are never really a factor (at least where I live) - even on non peak times the new matchmaking system means you can search for any game type, and I've never seen less than 1k players online (even at 4am). Anyone who says the game is dead 1. doesn't play it, and 2. hasn't played a dead game before (RIP blacklight tango down

)

hurry up and buy it so I have people to play with, the recent sale made it so there's a bunch of new players and they don't even fucking run on walls it's painful

EDIT: Here's a video of some guy who's cool talking about the game, but if you're at all even passingly interested in the game make sure to follow that spoiler warning, it's not a big deal story wise but the level spoiled is super good

is this game actually any good? i always assumed it was just a CoD reskin meme shooter but admittedly i never really looked into it

end my fucking life

for context: I pretty much exclusively play shooters, if it's a FPS and it's on PC odds are good i've played it at some point

this game is easily the best shooter I've ever played, maybe tied with the OG titanfall because I prefer how titanfall 1 had a harder scifi setting

I am physically unable to recommend this game enough

Posted: **Tue Mar 21, 2017 12:39 am**

I was one of the top ten players for a hella long time in the first titanfall, just bragging.
It's been a long time but I used to go the lightest titan with the shock gun and just decimate teams.

It was a close fucking tie I will admit but Titanfall 2 wins out for me because of the multiplayer

If I had to divide it into SP and MP though I would probably give Doom the edge for SP because that game was fucking amazing and I sing its praises just as much as Titanfall 2

it's hilarious how easy you can mod the game though I would advise against modding anything but inconsequential stuff such as text and some sounds. you can edit the ejection text message on your titan aswell as in-game descriptions.

make your L-STAR say poop haha

also the L-STAR is the best weapon

Posted: **Sat Mar 25, 2017 4:09 pm**

I dislike the text modding because unfortunately the titanfall subreddit is the only place I can go to discuss the game but it's filled with 50% "I MADE THE TICKS SAY SPICY BOYS HAHAHA", 25% complaints about tone/devotion/awall and 25% praising respawn for taking a dump

Posted: **Sun Mar 26, 2017 5:48 pm**

doublepost because shh

starting the 30th there's a free trial for like 5 days, double xp weekend, new map, and you can play the campaign tutorial + first level free forever

i need someone else to play with damnit

Posted: **Sun Mar 26, 2017 6:24 pm**

I just recently picked this up myself, shit's lit yo. One of the best shooters I've played.

That trial sounds good but they should also lower the price. After talking with some friends alot agree if it was cheaper they'd pick it up. There's a lot of hesitation because >EA and >Origin. But it's really good despite all that.

Fuck Tone though. Ronin for life.

Of course the dumb cat likes the weeaboo Titan. By the way, Ion best Titan. Always enjoy Legions shooting into my Vortex Shield.

I just don't bother because I'd rather play the game instead of putting memes i'll forget about in a minute in vpks

and you'd be surprised, some smaller subreddits (even the titanfall subreddit back in titanfall1) are a lot better than people seem to think

also

>complaining about tone

literally get good smh fam

I wasn't sure what titan to use at first, started using tone, unlocked all the camos for her, now I've moved onto weeb titan

EDIT: add me on origin you fuckers I wanna party up with people, name is qbopper

Posted: **Mon Apr 10, 2017 11:47 am**

I fucking love titanfall 2 but everytime I boot it up I spend 20 minutes in queue and then quit without getting into a game

Posted: **Mon Apr 10, 2017 12:24 pm**

I'd play it more if it wasn't just the same boring old meta shit all day every day.
Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, ooh a Ronin, Tone, Tone, Tone, Tone.

I love the idea of Titanfall. The actuality just isn't as fun.

PC, origin. I just get sick of fighting the same weapons and the same titans day in, day out. Maybe it's changed since it's been a month or two since I last played.

Posted: **Mon Apr 10, 2017 1:02 pm**

I've been playing since launch and never saw the supposed prevalence of the same weapons over and over

If it was true before it certainly isn't now, titan picks are spread out a fair amount

it's common to see higher levelled players using the r97 because that's the "meta" right now, but it's not like games are 6v6 of tone/r97/phase shift

Posted: **Mon Apr 10, 2017 4:55 pm**

I don't see a lot of Tone, either, but that's probably because everyone's secretly like qbopper and maxed out Tone, then got bored.

Posted: **Mon Apr 10, 2017 9:20 pm**

I mean I used Tone from launch and only got all the unlocks like a month ago

Canada, some people I hear say they're not bad but I can't find a game for the life of me.

even off peak times or at dumb shit like 3am I can find a game (though it certainly slows down then)
