I do love me some Titan harassment as a pilot. Arc Grenades, Sidewinder, jumping around on rooftops and generally being a nuisance. Haven't tried out the Mag Launcher or Charge Rifle yet. And I hope the Unlimited Arc Grenade burn card is still in the game.
In the beta I used the Chaingun despite the 40mm being better against Titans, because I often found Pilots to be more dangerous than other mechs.
This was a fun game to lose.
Lost one last night 398 to 400 I held b the entire match and ended up with 4000 points on defense. Wall grabbing sure does help.

Disagree. Played about 5 hours of the Titanfall beta, decided to reinstall Hawken to see how the game changed over the last ~year and played a couple hours.
Had more fun in Hawken.
I've noticed that the Mag launcher is absolutely the best anti-titan weapon i've used. seems to bring down their health faster than any other weapon

Anyone getting abysmal speeds from Origin on downloading this? I am getting like 50-100 Kbps.
Did their servers choke?

Yeah, it seems to be the most powerful, but I sure do feel exposed at the range that it's most effective. Blows the Sidewinder away, though.
Shock Rocks? It's in.
You and me both. It's getting confusing switching loadouts in-game.
me too. hopefully it gets added in a future update.
I'll definitely give it a shot. I was looking for a good Sidewinder replacement. In the beta I wasn't a huge fan of the Archer rocket despite it doing a lot of damage. Whenever I was in a Titan and someone used the Archer, I was usually able to find them very easily and put a couple Chaingun rounds into them. And the Archer can be fairly easy to dodge as well.
Nice.

Last night during the hype storm I was downloading at like 13-18 MB/s and I don't really have insanely good internet either.
So maybe run a quick speed test and see if it's your router maybe?
Also why is the sniper rifle so unfun?
I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling your drivers.

I find the Archer rocket is great when an enemy titan is fighting a friendly titan. It distracts them by making them adjust to the lockon, allowing the friendly to take advantage.

Yeah that's the strange thing, it was like that in the Beta too, you downloaded about half the amount and the other half will be unpacked from what you downloaded. Steam does this with some games aswell though unlike Origin, Steam calculates the correct download size :/
And ugh that redownload thing is a real bummer

I got the Limited Edition guide and these are the art cards that are inside the Hammond Robotics envelope. I figured someone may want to see them.

Will anyone make the PC performance thread for Titanfall? I'm curious to see who else has framerate issues with 120 Hz dual monitor setups on high-end rigs.

The statue is large and looks great, though for the price the materials it's made of feel cheap as it's essentially hollow toy plastic and not a solid statue. It's painted great and very detailed, but it's light and not very solid feeling as the Titan is mostly standing up on it's one leg, so it can be wobbly if you put it somewhere that will move. As a display piece it looks fantastic but for the price, expected a solid resin piece or cold cast item.
Also the LED's do not stay on, they activate and turn off after 60 seconds and you got to press the button again to turn on. It's stupid they didn't include the ability to leave the lights on, I got tons of statues with LEDs and they let you leave them on for display purposes. It's pretty pointless to put lights on a statue that you have to press a button on for 60 seconds of lights.

Gamefly and GMG codes seem to have been discontinued. Anyone know of a code for 10 bucks off anywhere?

What game modes would you all want to see added. Personally, I wish there was a free for all mode, but I guess they'd have to remove all the minions for it to work.

Just buy it through Mexico, collectors edition = $45
I can definitely see that, though I think they get pretty distracted as well if you're lobbing arc grenades at them or shooting at them with pretty much anything. A lot of Titan players start to panic if they're being shot at by more than one person.

Depends if you kill the pilot along with the Titan or if they bailed successfully

Free for all would be cool. I don't think they'd have to eliminate minions -- just make them aggressive against all players.
I'd also like to see an Oddball-like game mode where one player must carry an item and the other team must try to retrieve it.

I setup a shortcut through Steam big picture mode, when I launch the game (actually any origin game) it starts up but in the background. I need to Alt Tab to get the game window open. This isn't a problem on my desktop PC but my steambox doesn't have a proper keyboard connected.
NFS Rivals does the same thing,
How can I make Origin games jump to the forefront?

Definitely true! Getting shot at a lot while piloting a titan almost feels like a disorienting experience. You've got sparks going everywhere, your screen is going nuts, you've got alarms going off all over the place and warning messages everywhere. Keeping control in those situations is so fun because of this.
King of the Titan. Teams fight to take control of one new experimental Titan that is located in the middle of a map. If the Titan becomes too damaged it auto ejects the pilot has a temporary cool down while it repairs itself and it can be piloted again by either team. Like in TF2 the Titan must be under control of a team for 5 minutes total.
Capture the Flag should have really been better in this game. Imagine making the flag a huge object that only titans could carry (an actual flagpole, maybe?). The titan carrying the flag could not dash/attack. Would make the game mode a lot more fun rather than just grab flag as pilot -> get in titan -> dash across map.

I'd love to see a survival game mode where they send an insane amount of minions against your squad maybe a few AI titans as well. But they'd have to do something to minion AI or just have sheer number that they actually become dangerous.
ALSO A FREE ROAM SOLO MODE!
I JUST WANNA JUMP AROUND THESE MAPS ON MY OWN THEY'RE SO GOOOD AND MOVING IS SO GOOD

I'd like to see a Juggernaut type game mode. No countdown timers. First pilot kill gets a Titan. The player that destroys that Titan then gets a Titan themselves.
Beef up Titan health in this mode.

Last pilot standing.
And an elimination mode where players start as a pilot and earn a titan within 1.5 minutes.

I remember hoping for a mode like that in the PC beta, so thumbs up for that idea.
I'd also like to see something similar to Interrogation from The Last of Us multiplayer, where you had to interrogate downed players to locate the other teams safe, and then hold the safe area while you try to unlock it. Would be neat to see some mode...maybe called Mainframe...where the players have to hack into enemy Titans while doing a rodeo to locate the enemy mainframe and hold it.
The main issue I find with this is that players can refuse to drop Titans, thus stalling the match. Not sure if having the Spectres also hackable as they currently (albeit at a very reduced value towards mainframe locations) would balance out that issue.

Ive had a blast with CTF in this game, perhaps the best implementation Ive played due to the various methods of getting around.

This would be so good with the parkour. Intercepting flag runners by finding a faster route is already fun.
