Is it a hop up or something to do the select fire which charges a shot? Didn’t have that although did have a bad rear end gold sight.

Yeah, it takes either the Turbocharger to make it "spin up" faster, or the Select Fire hop up to get the beam mode.

Edit: With the Turbocharger it's kinda good.

To contribute to the gun convo from a few pages back I like the Devotion a bunch in early game. People don’t have armor or their best gun and don’t expect you to have a good gun so you can very often shred one or two players if your tracking is decent. Like if someone doesnt get to cover during the windup phase they are done. The TTK on that thing once it’s wound up is very low. I grabbed a Havoc the other day and it’s got a really slow reload, I think I prefer the Devotion to it.

My usual loadout is some combo of R99, Peacemaker, Wingman, or R301. Those four feel pretty top tier to me, the R99 unscoped is so good. I will take a Spitfire, a Hemlok, a Scout, or a Triple Take and be pretty happy. I experimented with the Longbow but I prefer not to snipe in this game and it feels just a lottle too dedicated to long range sniping with it’s small clip and longish time between shots. I’m gonna try out the Prowler with selectfire since people recommended it. Burst fire is a little weird but whatever. Gotta try the RE-45 too, I totally overlooked it because it’s a pistol. I’m also thinking about rocking the Devotion more often. There’s more energy ammo now and I see like 2 or 3 turbochargers a game sometimes.

Issue with the Devotion is a good player will utilize cover, pop behind it while the enemy shoots and as soon as it stops they know they have a second to pop out and take a free shot before it winds up again, its really good with the turbo if you get the drop on someone , and yea early game it eats through those level 1 shields to knock quick.

Shoutout to whoever said the RE-45 was good, I've been carrying that as my backup gun as a finisher if i'm rolling close combat weapons say with a peacekeeper or wingman, it's p nice.

I think the Hemlock can do that in semi-auto.

Huh, I guess you’re right. I went into training mode to test and there are a few with an uncapped fire rate. Just the 3 ARs that can be set to single fire and the P2020, and unless you’re cheating with macros or something the ARs are still faster in full auto/burst fire. The P2020 is the only one where trigger feathering really seems like a worthwhile tactic.

Has anyone gotten a bug where they're unable to fire their gun or ADS? It happened to me twice today and I can't find anyone else complaining about it.

Dropping your gun and picking it back up usually fixes it.

It has happened to me a couple of times- and the opposite, where clicking once locks it into emptying the mag or continually firing something like the auto shotty. Only solution is to drop the weapon and pick it up again, afaik

The release of Apex Legends has caused a little boost in popularity to Titanfall 2’s multiplayer. It’s still pretty quick getting into Attrition matches on PC (the least populated platform). Attrition is the basic team deathmatch mode, and it’s still easy to get into those matches. The other modes might have you waiting a bit though. On console I hear it’s much less of a problem and you can get quick matches for whatever you fancy.

If you're playing at halfspeed, yes it's a pretty good representation. Watching this made me wish there were more tf2 weapons and gadgets in apex. Hopefully more of the old stuff will get added through the battle pass. Ticks coming back could be really fun. Gravitystars, Firestars, and the L-Star also need to come back.

I disagree, Titanfall 1 was a much cooler multiplayer game, TF2 is really inferior in most respects besides the grapple hook, sliding and some fancy titans. Almost all other elements are better in the original I think, especially the art design, map aesthetics and immersive sense of being in a real battle of IMC vs Militia.

TF2 MP is a glorified “fake” sports arena with no context and it’s a regressive backwards step, versus the rough but innovative attempt to bring traditional SP gameplay (missions, NPC characters, story, scripted sequences) into MP in TF1.

I believe it only gets praise because most players are on PS4 and never played the original, or people who don’t care about authentic military futurism (which we’re really starved of both in games and film). Titanfall was supposed to carry the torch which Halo dropped when it went all “shiny superhero space fantasy” and perhaps evolve into a successor to Battlefield 2142.

Now that Apex has taken off we might see a Titanfall 3 that combines the best of both TF 1 & 2.

I think people will be hungry for 'advanced mechanics' version of what they got a taste of in Apex. Especially if they can marry it with a gameplay loop that appeals to people in 2019+

Also - originally Apex was gonna have titans but they couldn't get it to be a balanced experience in testing. We might see titans in the game at some point, but the way they work will be considerably different or scaled down.

Never played the original TF but played a ton of TF2. TF2 is just fun as gently caress both in MP and SP.

After watching gameplay vids of the original it’s hard to believe its gameplay is actually better. It just looks slower and less polished, aesthetics aside.

I love love love the first game but it doesn’t have the buttslide. Therefore TF|2 is better.

Real talk there were some lateral moves and a couple tiny steps backwards in the transition between the games, but they were outweighed by the steps forward.

Titanfall let you use satchel charges as your primary long-range weapon if you wanted to which was pretty cool. IIRC they inherited your momentum so if you got decent at the wall-running you could huck them for miles.

E: also the MP aesthetic in tf1 was awesome even if tf2's campaign was better.

You think you're in good shape, then you notice your team is neglecting the ring and start taking damage from it. Then over the radio, an ominous message rings out.. "throwing arc star". They actually made it over, I 2 shot knocked a guy with the longbow who was also sniping but looking elsewhere. Moved in to clean up, encountered the rest of his squad who smartly smoked out and revived and I was forced to back off after taking some damage. Team caught up but I was knocked in the ensuing fight, but my team finished the job. Of course they loot instead of reviving me and some 948 kill wraith appears and quickly puts me out of my misery. Once again my team comes through as the storm is enveloping us, and the last man standing, lifeline, dies to the loving storm with 3 squads left. Instead of, you know, deploying the healing pod or using another healing item. I swear a lot of players don't even know about the abilities

Next lobby: I hear Drake like music on the persons mic, they ask if anyone else has one and then tells me not to pick mirage and complains that I picked him with only 48 kills. Picks wraith of course and proceeds to be the first one dead, and quits. His name? Awesomedude0531.
