Wow... well, that’s an original complaint.

Maybe you’d be better off playing something like Harvest Moon, The SIMS or something more your speed.


Don't get me wrong, most of the on-foot shooty bits were great, and the in-titan bits are amazing (though in my view you unlock the best weapon early on, and have next to no reason to use any others). It just felt like it was desperate for an excuse to make me jump around like a pillock every possible chance it could.

I am keeping an eye on this in Origin and will snag it next time it's on sale.

TBH I really enjoyed the first Titanfall, but it never quite gained any traction with our Saturday night crowd for some reason.

I'll only be buying the sequel for the campaign so don't want to spend too much, nothing will ever topple Battlefield/GTAV from our Saturday night games slot I would imagine.

I'm surprised EA haven't killed off the Titanfall franchise already, although now they've bought Respawn no doubt they'll 'Do a Battlefront 2' on whatever the studio makes next and totally fuck it up.

Yeah the first one was great, although it didn't have a campaign (there was just a short single player tutorial).

Giant robots punching each other in the head, conceptually it's perfect. Or if they're not close enough to punch each other, shooting at other giant robots with huge fucking guns.

That's the ultimate sales pitch, right there.

Yeah, in multi I stuck grappling hook on and never took it off. Ever.

Oh, have you seen the ' finishing moves' when you punch a doomed titan?
Author:  Doctor Glyndwr [ Mon Feb 26, 2018 14:59 ]
Post subject:  Re: Titanfall 2
Disagree. The grapple is good, and it's what I use for Frontier Defence, but the other tacticals are worth looking at and they are generally very well balanced. I particularly like Stim for shotgun/SMG classes and Cloak for Snipers/LMG/ARs with Ranger scopes.

I turned grapple off at the beginning but it’s now in my main load out. I spent a lot of time last night doing cross map grapple slingshots, which is currently an imprecise science.

I can't play multiplayer without the grappling hook. I CAN'T. It doesn't work.

I just don't understand how you're meant to be a JUMPY BOI without the grapple.

I done a grapple and jumped on to Cras's Titan and fired grenades at stuff. It was ace. Probably looked totally cool, too.

Try a couple of sessions with Stim or Cloak and see how you like them. Apart from anything else, it forces you to get better at judging wallrunning and double jumps, and then if you go back to grapple you can save its charge for when it makes a bigger difference.

I found Stim dead handy for CTF. Cloak didn't last long enough.

Do you mean the grunts/sceptres/etc in some game modes like Attrition, or do you mean the robotic Pilot characters?

Grunts and sceptre. Anything classified under "minion" I guess. I thought they were human players and I was 1337

Nope. Everything except pilots are AI-controlled, and they're mostly cannon fodder (although Reapers can give you a fright if you're reckless.) You do get points for killing them though:

Grunts - 1 point
Spectres/Stalkers - 1 point
Reapers - 3 points
Pilots - 5 points
Titans - 10 points
Pilot + Titan - 15 points

As the minions are always shown on your minimap, seeking them out and slaughtering them can be an effective way to get points.

I like melting people with the Scorch, but I also like the ‘sweep the leg’ move of the Northstar.

The Monarch that steals a battery can fuck off. The batteries are already dead you twat!

The Monarch actually gets a shield boost from that, somehow, despite (as you say) them being theoretically dead. It's a Titan kit though, so they've given up a slot to get that ability.

I do like it when some arse rodeos me, gets killed, and then I hop out of my Titan and put the battery back in :D

It's merely very good until you get to Effects And Cause, which is superb.

Post subject:  Re: Titanfall 2
I got annoyed with the single player section in the factory, where it decided it was a platform game which would just kill you for the lols sometimes.

I should pick it up and complete that section and do the rest of the campaign at some point, but I just prefer the multiplayer on the whole.

It was an awesome £12 game. It was a deeply flawed £45 game. It’s very enjoyable; but for the people happier playing nothing more dexterously challenging than a jigsaw puzzle, it’s deeply flawed ;)
