It’s amazing to see all sorts of cooperation go out the window once a pubby doesn’t respect dibs of another pubby.

Pretty certain it's the smallest map in the game. I think KC is fine in games where the talent level is mediocre but if you get an above average lobby it's just non-stop third party legends with a rev ulted caustic throwing gas at you if you win a fight. You can hear gunshots across practically the entire map, there's balloons everywhere, and there's just a ton of open areas which makes the griefing that much worse.

Olympus is huge but half the squads instantly die off rip at estates/gardens/towers and then after that the entire server decides to fight at Hammond Labs/Energy Grid. Which means if you don't hot drop or fight in the one area of the map where everyone fights, you'll probably be pretty bored and almost certainly be in the top 4.

KC was definitely the smallest map last season. It’s a little bigger this season but WE is probably the best map for not getting third parties all the time because Olympus has vehicles which make the pacing of the game faster.

Got kidnapped for the first time by a wraith that threw a portal in my face and lured me into an explosive hold full of gas and wattson traps. I hate breaking my own rule which is: never use another wraith’s portal.

I rarely play him but yes he is insane

Why don't people try Sheila on a Trident? I didn't even know you could do it and when I tried it, noticed that Sheila even gets placed in the exactly perfect spot on the back.

Obviously not optimal but come on, driving around like a maniac while your teammate sprays bullets loving everywhere is incredibly fun

I swear my KD has jumped significantly since I started playing him more!

Actual solos are probably never coming back, but Respawn said they're going to add no-fill mode at some point this season so you can queue solo into duos or trios games

They really should bring it back for a special event at least once a year.

I almost want them to add another 10 squads to the match just because this keeps happening, or shorten the timer for the 1st ring, or something.

Maybe a big team match where 120 people is the max.

My understanding is that the comparatively lovely hitreg and lag issues early in the match are because the servers can only barely handle 60 people dropping in, so please god no.

Do the heat shields actually take a backpack spot if you pick up beyond the 'standard' two? If not, the max you can carry at one time then would be 2? So, to make this work, you'd need to (ideally) have a final circle near-ish to the edge of the map, hit as many replicator areas as possible to build up as much crafting material as you can, sit next to a replicator near the final circle to give yourself as much time as possible, and craft heat shields until you run out or win the match? Sounds fun to me! I'll give it a try solo in duos and report back unless everyone feels this is really lovely and then I won't.

You can’t pick up more than 2 heat shields at a time I believe.

I found these people farming damage in a duos game the other day. Are they cheating? The pathfinder already had a 4k badge so he wasn't getting it for someone else. The bloodhound looked like he was in on it too. I was wondering if the Loba was in on it. If the Loba was in on it that would be teaming but I wasn't sure if they were blatantly teaming or the Loba was just bad. Also the pathfinder just let the Loba kill him so that was super suspicious.

I'm going to be the guy who says he didn't like the giant robots in the giant robot game.

The guns and mobility were amazing when I tried TF|2 but the titans just felt entirely cooldown based, even reloading your big guns felt like a cooldown and almost all matches just turned into 6 titans stomping the team that didn't get their 6 titans first.

Could just be inexperience talking from just a few weeks of playing the multiplayer late into the game's life.

This! Even when my friends started playing titanfall2 again when it was free they quickly rage quitted if the other team got their Titans up first.

i can really only comment on it having gone from apex -> tf2 but playing with the robots was like playing constantly stuck in rampart's gun. powerful sure but the game is about movement and none of the titan abilities are a fraction as broken as or anywhere in the same loving zip code as fun as wall jumps imo.

You mean legion? Legion was the only titan that resembled ramparts minigun with Gibraltar’s gun shield. My favorite titan was Ion. Basic mobility but had a laser beam that could zap pilots out of the sky after they ejected. Ion could also rip a legion a new one by absorbing all of its bullets and shooting them back.

At this point I have to believe that the devs are aware that a significant fraction of their playerbase quits Casual games constantly and just don't care.

Yea I don’t think I’ll ever view casual matches in the same way as ranked anymore. Without a full squad it’s atrocious! I’m pretty much just playing ranked so my teammates don’t quit every match.

With a full squad it's pretty atrocious too unless you're all very solid high plat/low diamond players, since that's the "default" skill level of the full-squad queue in my experience.

I think duos in ranked might be the way to go. You don’t get matched up against too many premade teams, and sometimes your pubby can kill a dude.

compared to ziplining which is incredibly loud and obvious except in the most hectic of situations, the jumpad movement is almost entirely silent which makes it superior for getting the jump on a squad.

Also, they nerfed the way you could jump on a zipline over and over again so its super easy to hit people on the zipline.
