I die a lot because I try to get through as much as the game without killing anybody and I've been mildly successful at it past the first level or two which has more open area combat sequences

campaign moves a lot faster than say doom, which had way too many watch people talk-sequences in spite of how hot people were on it

I thought that only happened once, when you meet that robot CEO halfway in the game. I guess that's still one time too many though

Next time doom is on sale I'm gonna pull the trigger because I'm in a big time FPS mood again.

I thought the A-Wall pilot wouldn't be worth using in a game that moves this fast, but it sets up fast enough and has so much health that it can turn a fight around almost reliably.

I think it can even tank titan shots.

The combat in it reminded me a bunch of RE4, for what its worth. Just in terms of pacing I mean, lots of running around just to keep distance between you and the enemy while you figure out your next move. Still haven't finished it though.

It can. Also I'm not sure if it's ever practical but the wall also makes your grenades more powerful when you toss them through it which is a really cool touch

it's super weird that they don't have the default titan in the game when you have it campaign.

I bet they'll make the BT chassis at some point for multi though.

A friend and I just play led LTS for the first time in this today and got our asses kicked... we each did twice as much damage as the other 3 people on our team put together though, so I'd imagine a full team of friends communicating could dominate.

The ticks seem to be pretty useless except on bounty hunt. I got a quad kill when everyone ran into the bank room.

yah i've had more luck with the turrets

right now people who get kills with ticks treat it like martyrdom, if you're about to die throw out all the ticks you got and they might explode on the person running past you

Map Hack would be better if it was just a UAV-style minimal sweep that showed non-cloaked enemies I think. As for sonar ping, I think it could be ok if they either increased the cooldown or decreased throwing range/radius.

In Training

UAV works well because it's just a minimap boost, so you still need some level awareness to know "oh they're probably coming in from this hallway" and such. Having a wall hack that can last over half the round if you're careful is kinda nuts

Every time I play it I feel like doing this was more and more of a mistake lol.

Besides that Titans are extremely strong, all the mobility in the world pilot vs pilot doesn't matter when you die in 1-3 shots depending on if one of the bullets hits your head except in the rarest situations and you don't even need great reflexes to make that nearly trivial on PC. It's basically just a fancy way of flanking people and killing them instantly more than it lends to like interesting fights which... maybe it's the same way on console but I feel like better movement would be rewarded at least a little more on there just because of the controls. That said I did get a cool kill on someone where I grappled a building they were camping in and whipped em.

I guess unless your fighting someone with a rocket launcher or whatever but not many people are crazy enough to play with that instead of just a SMG.

In Training
Jun 28, 2008

I think the rocket launcher is supposed to be if you want to use a weapon that could be anti Titan and then a pistol. But it doesn't do crap against Titans either

Yea it's just cool for feeling like a badass when you manage to kill someone who isn't looking near you with a SMG.

Also the autoaim on console is so extreme that if a pilot jumps around a corner the game will take over completely and turn your view like crazy. I've seen it make it me do a 180 without any input lol.

I just think it's such a shame that they have the cool movement but it's not cool enough to counteract how fast things die.

I will say I've played enough multi to prestige once and then more levels after and I don't think I've ever seen one person use a sniper rifle, which is nice. Probably because it's impossible to aim them on console but dying to hit scan body shot OHKO snipers makes me rage when I played COD on PC.
