[H]Titanfall just 6v6

Yea there are a lot of people that bought them and they sold out and came back in stock and 2 to 3 days after they took paypal away. I hope we don't get the game taken away. That would suck as you only get 30 days to file a dispute on paypal and if it happens after 30 days you are stuck.

Anyone know of any other deals or discounts going on that make titanfall a little cheaper? I know I should have preordered, but didnt, like a dummy

Keep an eye out on slickdeals. You can always get it from origin though.

Thanks, dude!! That totally worked There is a thread on there with how to get it from Origin directly via Origin Mexico and it ended up being $38. Slick indeed.

Just purchased via the Chrome Hola + Mexican Origin method (with Season Pass).

Saved a considerable amount.

 

[sze5003]

Cool let's play a match or two some time. My origin id is selayan.

Edit: Noticed something funny. Others on slickdeals bought the game from another Russian site, downloaded it but the game was in Russian.

They contacted EA for help and EA changed the game to English for them. Didn't even ask how they got a different language game lol.

So far, I'm not too bothered by the game being 6v6. The size of the map, number of the NPC, the agility and the speed of the pilots, and the chaos Titans can create all seems pretty balanced to me. If the game had, lets say, 10v10, the map will need to grow a fair amount, and I believe the Titans will not last long in the field. As someone mentioned before, the small teams do create matches where one team can totally dominate, as having a couple of noobs can really hurt a team.

I'm having tons of fun with the parkour aspect of the game, learning the map as I try to play Hardpoint, moving from one point to another. The speed of the game has been a blast, it really reminds me of Quake with off hand grappling hook or UT with the Translocator.

On the other hand, I totally suck controlling the Titan. I just chewed up way too fast, as the sense of superiority takes over and I get too aggressive most of the time.

There are some good discussion going on about old school vs new school FPS here, but I for one am glad things are progressing, even though I don't want to be PWNED by some kid with Gen3 tag already in Titanfall. (it hasn't been one week since release yet!) I know he is proud and all, but maybe I'm wishing for an option in the menu where I can just turn off the visibility of levels of each player.... heh.

I wish they did a better job of matching up players of the same general level. It seems that it is completely random, and the player level isn't taken into account at all.

Yep...many times I have seen a team with nothing but lv20 and lower players while the other team has people above 30

 

[sze5003]

Yea that happens a lot on pc too. It's hard to win haedpoint or capture the flag with lower level members. It's still fun but a lot of times in hardloint my team members don't even go for the objectives.

I have the same problem. Somehow I'm on a team with people that don't communicate, don't go for objectives, and wind up with a k/d of like 3:11. It's baffling to me what they're doing during the game.

 

[sze5003]

I don't use a headset or Mic on pc. I have a Mic but it's crappy and I don't like wearing headphones while gaming. I may get a desktop Mic to use but really I don't think many people use them. One guy had an eco so bad that I could hear his actions and his game's sounds and effects as if it were coming from my game.

For people looking for Titanfall cheap. They have it for 30 bucks at staples AC. It goes in and out of stock. I have yet to see the PC one in stock but I bought the Xbone version to trade in at Gamestop for the PC version. Check on slickdeals for the thread. If you hit them at midnight they usually have every game in stock.

yesterday with a couple friends we played some matches of last titan standing and capture the flag

The last titan standing matches were ok...but the levels are kinda small for 12 titans because the places titans are allowed to go through in a normal map are few, since there are a lot of more spaces for pilots to jump around, and so the titans crashed into each other all the time (from the same team)

Capture the flag was something different, i enjoyed a lot more most of the time.
We played 2 or 3 maps. Since the levels are not simetrical the match was something like 5 minutes in one side of the map and then it would switch sides keeping the score.
it has interesting things going on. For example, turrets in each base that can be hacked to help you. So, with a bit of luck you could hack the enemy turret that is in the enemy flag base to create a distraction and run.
You can use cloak while still carrying the flag (other games normally things like that would normally make you drop it), and you can grab the flag while inside a titan, which gives the game a completely different approach. One thing is to have a weak but agile pilot to grab and run, and another thing is to have 2 titans WALKING to the base breaking havoc and taking the flag as if they were a moving fortress. you can even eject from the titan with the flag. I normally dont like when everyone can see where the flag is because of the icon showing it on your screen, i used to play games lke unreal tournament in which a good flag carrier knew how to hide when both flags were taken. In this game that is not possible, everyone knows where the flags are all the time, but in a game like this, in which the maps have a lot of places to climb i can understand why it is like that
So, i liked it.
The only thing that i didnt like was when one team was winning and decided to defend the base with 3 titans. It was nearly imposible be able to grab it and run more than 5 seconds.

Maybe it is me but I like the pilot gameplay better than the titan gameplay. The parkour etc is really good on some maps. I am a bit disappointed that respawn won't do a pilot only mode since I think there is a ton of potential with the right map for the parkour stuff to really add to the gameplay. More so than the titans IMO.

I felt pretty lost when I first started playing Titanfall

basically just ran around and shot stuff, but didn't really know how to best go about it

after I started playing Hardpoint, it gave me a focus to at least capture points

I still had problems with identifying between AI and pilots though and used the "wall hack" ability as a crutch which helped initially but then started being a significant detriment because it really fucked with my ability to aim while the ability was active

I eventually just got better at identifying between pilot and AI and no longer use the "wall hack" abiility

I still feel lost on some maps when playing a game mode like Attrition

Reclaim really should add a game mode that is Pilots-only

I would love a pilot only mode, but at the same time, this could potentially make the player population even smaller. I'm concerned when the hype dies down, how many games I can join a year from now....

There is a pilot only game mode, or do you mean no titans at all?

Yeah no titans...but the map would have to be setup to make parkour the best way to navigate to make it interesting.

I just think the parkour is underutilized but has good potential.

I enjoy the more tightly spaced maps

the more open maps are created to emphasize Titan gameplay, but the more tightly spaced maps make gameplay more dynamic imo

wow that gif...

Just picked up CE for ~$49, thanks Mexico! Now after this massive download finishes, is the campaign the best place to start?

campaign is just there to unlock two Titans as completion rewards

story is generic involving rebels versus government and they're just background noise while you do multiplayer campaign matches

Battle of Demeter intro is cool though

This is pretty interesting. This guy reached max level in three days. 10th generation apparently is as high as you can go. Ridiculous.
