If your auto-Titan gets rodeod and you have the poison smoke equipped... Is it smart enough to deploy it? I swear mine isn't... But I haven't exactly done any hard research.

Nope, it will just sit there and die. I doubt the Guardian Chip will make it use the smoke, either.

 

[BruiserBear]

Not too happy with the network quality right now, the beta showed me how good it can get yet right now a 35ms server is not exactly that, I get good ping but everyone else running around is spiking and skipping everywhere, they also removed the auto playing killcam when you die, why?

I honestly hope server quality improves.

The killcam was removed? I know it's optional on campaign, but it's been there in classic mp for me.

It's not removed but it's not automatic, you have to press X to watch it which I think is a pointless reason for having it.

Well good god. That's silly I hope it gets worked out. At least I'm not crazy, I know I've seen mine go down a few times and it never used the smoke.

 

[antitrop]

Only in the Campaign, killcam is still automatic during regular MP.

Well good god. That's silly I hope it gets worked out. At least I'm not crazy, I know I've seen mine go down a few times and it never used the smoke.

I don't think it's a bug, it's more of a balance thing.

900p w/ all settings on High and 2x MSAA runs better for me than 1080p w/ all settings on Low and no AA. Substantially better.

Yeah what the hell is up with that, went 1080p and it's just not worth it with even with everything low.

Finished both campaigns. Never again :3

i think im almost done with the militia campaign.

I have no idea whats going on.

Yea if a Titan on Auto-Pilot gets rodeoed it just takes a knee.

MacAllen is drunk and pissed off that you disturbed him, now he wants to take back his land. Or something.

The only thing I remember "GET BARKER OUT OF HERE". I think that was one name of a mission. And Dragonland. That's it. I have no idea what else happened

Ya I didn't pay attention to the story. If they can make it feel like your playing a campaign it would be revolutionary. But it's standard multiplayer so it's pointless.

 

[antitrop]

The highlights of the Militia campaign are having the belligerent, drunken MacAllen as your Titan operator for a mission and Battle for Demeter. Everything else went completely over my head.

i'm playing with what sounds like two 11 year olds talking in open chat, ugh.

I thought it was an intergalactic alimony dispute? MacAllen's just trying to get his kids back.

What's your PC specs?

 

[antitrop]

What's your PC specs?

i7-2600k @ 4.4GHz, GTX 590, 16GB RAM. Starting to get a bit dated, but Titanfall shouldn't be the first game to bring my rig to its knees.

Yea,its pretty bad. I'm getting 3 bars every other game.

There was a point where the screen turned white and match ended and I thought, pheeeew, glad that's all over.

But then it continued.

Twerk that shit!

 

[Mesoian]

Did they fix it where if you call in your Titan under the Evac ship it will destroy it?

YO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT'S FUCKING SMART!

 

[2San]

Ok I am now pretty sure this is a glitch. I keep disconnecting when I play with my brother (he lives somewhere else). If I play alone the connection perfect. The only difference is that I am playing with my brother and using skype. This happened in the beta as well.

 

[B1gg_Randall]

Ingame

 

[SomedayTheFire]

I'm getting so many "Retrying connection to the server" it's actually unplayable.

At any point do we get a reason why the Militia is fighting the IMC?

 

[Diablohead]

Terrible stutter everywhere and I know it's not me, also wired to my router.

Beta was never like this when busy.

 

[antitrop]

At any point do we get a reason why the Militia is fighting the IMC?

In the game? Not really. Maybe. I dunno.

But this is from the official website:

The Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation (IMC)

The IMC started out small, in natural resource extraction industries, under the name Hammond Engineering. Increasing demand for Titan manufacturing materials, combined with Hammond's market-cornering planetary survey technology and map database rights, contributed to explosive growth for the company. Over the course of a century, a series of acquisitions, mergers, and re-brandings lead to the transformation of Hammond Engineering into the ruthless commercial empire that is the IMC.

With the Frontier’s valuable shipping lanes and vast planetary resources ripe for exploitation, the IMC is dedicated to maximizing profits and shareholder wealth, using the legal application of force when necessary.

The Militia

The Frontier Militia represents the military arm of the Frontier systems' territorial defense pact. The Militia is a loosely governed mishmash of homesteaders, bandits, mercenaries, and pirates, all rising up as 'citizen soldiers' when the need arises. Each brigade within the Militia is responsible for fighting in an assigned section of Frontier territory. Although some brigades are little more than vast pirate organizations, the Militia has enough resources to be a real obstacle to the IMC's ambitions on the Frontier.

The Militia often claims that direct action against the IMC is in the best interest of the homesteaders whom they allegedly represent, but not everyone on the Frontier sees it that way.

Well, you're trying to get A, B, and C and they, too, want A, B, and C. So a fight ensues.

 

[Mesoian]

Oil.

No seriously.

 

[Hawkian]

I'm fully a bumper jumper now, it was tough to transition but now it feels natural. There's so much more you can do being able to pivot and aim in the air.

I've been using my 360 controller on PC and have been consistently among the high scorers, even went some rounds without dying. Feels good to be competitive with a controller on the PC.

Wait a minute, bumper jumper? Does this make the controls more like Mirror's Edge?? *excite intensifies*

 

[Izuna]

Guys the Campaign has a great story, but horrible storytelling. It took me 5 rounds to understand it. Haha

 

[Angel Abaddon]

Glad I'm not the only one with the degraded performance since beta. Back then, my i5 [email protected], 7950 and 16gb ram would only once in a while drop from 60 to maybe 55. With retail, its fairly regularly dipping to 45 at times, even with the settings reduced.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Motherfuckers.

 

[Mindman]

Do you have to push a button to voice chat on the PC version? With a controller.

 

[The Cowboy]

Wait a minute, bumper jumper? Does this make the controls more like Mirror's Edge?? *excite intensifies*

It puts the jetpack onto the left bumper so you can aim while you jump (as by default you need to stop aiming to hit A), your tactical ability goes to the A button. The great thing is they put in the option to not swap the titans left bumper around, so you can keep dash on A if you want..

 

[antitrop]

Well, you're trying to get A, B, and C and they, too, want A, B, and C. So a fight ensues.

At least the Campaign gives you a vague context of what capturing A, B, and C will actually do.

 

[Coconut]

I realized that the worst part about the way the story is presented is that it's just telling you whats going on in the lobby in VO. At least have an animated talking head or something.

 

[Hawkian]

yep, like Mirror's Edge

the great thing is they put in the option to not swap the titans left bumper around.

That is brilliant, I must have it

No, if it's set up, it's always on unless you enable push to talk.

yep and it's on the keyboard.

How? there is no option in the game to set it. you have to push the talk button on the keyboard if you are using a controller.

 

[Diablohead]

This game is nothing like what I was expecting, it's not fun when dieing through corners and enemies warping up to you due to stutter, sad to say that plants v zombies launched better.

 

[Jarmel]

Really? Because all it does well is kill grunts, it's rather abysmal for pilot killing.

If you ask me the main benefit of the smart pistol is that the auto locks work really well as an active alert it just points at threats on screen.

Not if you're good with it. Manual mode destroys people.

 

[HelloMeow]

Not if you're good with it. Manual mode destroys people.

Being good with the smart pistol is an oxymoron.

 

[The Cowboy]

Hmm I wonder, seeing as the PC gamepad doesn't have anything mapped for voice coms but does have a free button (right d-pad), can't we just use something like xpadder to map only the right d-pad button to the key that uses voice chat?.

So, in xpadder you only map 1 button for the titanfall profile? - time to try this out (it should work).

 

[Coconut]

the worst.

Pretty sure there's a tickbox in options. That's how some kid ended up putting a loop of himself screaming at the top of his lungs into his mic while still being able to play during my game last night. Thankfully muting is pretty quick.
