I just meant you could do what I do and that is to walk into a 711 for a refreshing St. Perrier Grapefruit sparkling water and then mosey on over to the chip aisle and take 5 or 6 pictures of codes.

You can literally just take pictures of the codes on the side of the Doritos bags, they're printed on the outside of the bag for everyone to see. You can't with the Mountain Dew though.

I was generally finding hardpoint matches all throughout last weekend and the week before but now I never see it. Does anyone with a PC on the West Coast have a recommendation for like a sever that usually has hardpoint matches?

I usually switch to London when I can't get a game. The matchmaking seems like it's continent-based, so if there are 0 in matches on Oregon, it'll be 0 in matches for all the NA datacenters, and I have to go to Europe or Asia.

But yeah I've noticed the hardpoint player counts have gone down a lot. It sucks. I haven't been able to find a single CTF game since launch either. :smith:

Speaking of Archer, I really love it way more than the other AT weapons. Anybody have a preference for the others?

Initially I felt like I could only ever use the MGL but I made myself try the Thunderbolt and ended up loving it.

Edit: Has anyone gotten disconnect messages about FairFight category being incompatible with the server? I only got it a couple times while trying to get back into the lobby, then it let me back in, but it is a bit worrying considering I am legit doing no cheating of any kind.

Yeah I've seen that one a couple times and a friend has as well. I don't think it's anything serious.

The mixtape/playlist changes sound great but another pilots-only mode is lame as hell.

Nah I didn't type my question that well, I meant is the PS4 playbase more alive than the PC one? I already play on PC which yeah is dead except Attrition and sometimes Pilot-vs-Pilot.

Yeah it's significantly better. I just switch to PS4 any time I want to play hardpoint or CTF now.

Hopefully it'll improve on PC with the matchmaking interface changes they're making but I'm not holding my breath.

Is there enough a large enough player count on the PC to make purchase worth it just for multiplayer? I'm all burned out on Battlefield until the expansion drops and Rainbow Six is losing its luster quickly.

Attrition is always well populated, mixtape usually is. Other playlists (hardpoint, CTF, etc) are dead on PC (at least in the US).

Eyud

It's not a great test since it's 9 AM but right now there are ~400 players in attrition, ~10 in mixtape, and 0 in any other mode on PC (US). I dunno if LTS in particular gets any better during peak hours.

E: Compared to PS4 right now: 2300 in attrition, 400 in bounty hunt, 200 in hardpoint, 140 in angel city 24/7, 300 in mixtape, 400 in LTS, 400 in PvP, even 30-40 in 8v8 and CTF on the second page.

I wish this game were on Steam so badly. There are so many people that just aren't going to touch it ever because of the stink of Origin.

This idea is hilarious. Look at player counts for Battlefield sometime. Most people don't give a poo poo about using Origin, and it's not why the TF2 player counts are low on PC.

I think the first game got some hate because it didn't have a real singleplayer campaign, but the multiplayer was basically just as good as 2 imo. And it had more/cooler maps!

Does everyone else just run toward the big bright light or something? I don't really get why people say nuke is overpowered. It seems like you always have plenty of time to just walk away from it.

Live fire sounds rad, I don't get why people thought it would be bad because "no robots" when the pilot gameplay is way cooler.

I kind of assumed it would be bad because pilots vs pilots is bad but the tiny maps and very short rounds make it way more fun. It feels like a proper pilot equivalent of Last Titan Standing rather than attrition without titans.

E: The new matchmaking probably still needs tweaking but I was getting hardpoint games last night so it's already an improvement.

Suppose I finished the (lovely) SP and wish to find a nice and concise guide for MP to get me up and running without being an embarrassment for my team. Where I find?

Just jump right in, IMO. Attrition is probably the easiest mode to start with, the goal is simply to kill more than the other team and killing NPCs counts toward your team's score, so you don't need to actually kill other players to contribute.

The whole "it's called TITANFall not PILOTFall" is silly. Go look at your stats page. Unless you play a lot of LTS or are in the top 1% of the population you're going to be sitting around 35% Titan 65% Pilot across all modes. Being a pilot is a big part of the game in all but one mode, it's not some throw-away time waster. The title is a bullet point, not a straitjacket.

Yeah but that's not the point. Pilot gameplay is fun and titan gameplay is fun but when you combine the two it's really fun.

I like LTS and LF but the mixed gameplay is really what the game is all about.

I bought Overwatch around the time it came out and played it for a couple days and regretted the purchase and haven't had any desire to touch it since. Mechanically it felt fine to me and the massive player base is nice but Blizzard's style and tone is just awful. It's a bad game, unlike Titanfall 2.

Titan brawl is super fun. It's a team victory so getting more assists than kills doesn't bother me.

I sure get executed a lot, though.

Monarch is really fun in FD. It doesn't take long to get your upgrades and recharging teammate shields feels more useful than in other modes.

Also a great mode for grinding out weapon upgrades.

This game rules!

I want to get Legion's aegis upgrades but I find the whole mode switch thing frustrating because I'm terrible at remembering to set it before engagements.

Northstar has been more fun than I expected so far though! Piercing shot plus the upgrade that makes the railgun charge faster is pretty rad.

What difficulty does everyone play FD on? I mostly play regular; I'd like to play hard but every time I try my team ends up being terrible and we can't make it past wave 3 or 4.

I was getting dropped into the middle of matches a lot the day FD came out but since then it hasn't happened too much.

Yesterday I got stuck with only one other person though, the game just couldn't find replacements for whatever reason. You don't get any aegis rank progress if you quit early, right?

Eyud

Yeaaaahhhhh a lot of people are real bad or just blind to the minimap or something.

I've gotten full aegis upgrades for every titan except Ion now. I managed to complete a few matches on hard as well; almost hit 10k overall score with Scorch on Rise one time.

Warpfall and phase embark are pretty cool for FD.

Just hit rank 20 with Ion so that's all of 'em! Please enable aegis upgrades in regular multiplayer now, Respawn. :getin:

also why the hell do people refuse to buy turrets on the lower levels of the game?

I never buy em on any difficulty because other people usually go overboard with them anyway (but then put them in stupid places where they get disabled constantly).

I feel like we need a stealth titan if we get another one (we're not getting another one), most of the pilot abilities have a rough titan analog except cloak. Grapple too I guess, but you tell me how a grapple titan would work.
