Bought it for SP and...meh. AI is dumb as rocks and yet again, thats not a campaign its an extended tutorial with a few boss battles

What difficulty? It was alright for me on Master, not too easy, but not crazy like old COD 4s "Realistic" mode.

Why would you snipe in Titanfall?

Why wouldn't you? I had a very successful few rounds of CTF playing mostly defence. The guns are in the game to be used, so use them

Besides with the nature of the game and how much people move and how unpredictable they can be, it's quite rewarding head shotting someone whilst they are wall running.

For what it's with my CAR is level 19 and my highest sniper is level 3. So you can see I don't use them all that often.

I just find it boring personally and too fast paced to be of any use. If I'm playing Amped HP then anyone who snipes usually ends up bottom of the team and if it's a team I'm on, we'll usually lose.

Oh all the other modes I run my SMG/Stim set up but CTF seemed to work will with sniping as I was able to defend and kill a few would-be flag carriers.

I need to break away from the CAR really. But the gun is just a fantastic all rounder.

I tried the car, couldn't get into it. Used the standard carbine and then switched to the LSTAR which at close and medium ranges seems quite overpowered. Firing from the hip and maintaining ridiculous accuracy is laughable.

Junglist · 15 Nov 2016 at 11:51

is that the LMG? Do they make you much slower? I tend to like classes in games that have high agility so worried it may not fit my play style. invisi-shotgunners have got me a few times. looks fun

ChrisD. · 15 Nov 2016 at 11:56

Can't say I notice any difference in speed? I use the stim and I'm always springing/running off walls firing from the hip.

Just unlocked Tone, now Titans are fun

Also, level 11 and around 11 hours gameplay (including singleplayer) I've just discovered how to do finishers on doomed titans.... Whoops.

I have been using the flat line for a while now and on an impulse tried using the CAR. My goodness its so much better. I appreciate that in theory the SMG is short range only but even at medium to long it seems to dominate!

Anyway, great game

ChrisD. · 16 Nov 2016 at 09:03

I tried the CAR last night, it's okay but I feel I do better with the LSTAR.

Titanfall 2 is damn enjoyable. Im having a real blast bouncing back and forth between bf1 and titanfall for my fps fix. Is there a ocuk network?

I know there is some doom and gloom about low player numbers but Im not really having trouble finding games. There little to no lag and the community is great (see reddit)

Junglist · 17 Nov 2016 at 16:46

No OCUK network as far as I noticed.

Player numbers are low but as you say, I've had no difficulty in finding a game.

One thing I noticed is that some guns are just ridiculously overpowered. The EVA-8 Auto for example with Stim is just silly. 1 or 2 shoots in the general direction at close range and the other guy is toast.

Granted it's only useful at close range, but the vast majority of maps end up being close range combat for pilot to pilot action anyway.

Weapon of choice is still the Volt at the moment though

Still frequently encountering this sort of thing when playing Bounty Hunt:

I experienced the end of an EVA-8 with Stim yesterday, made me rage-quit, first time in 11 hours I've quit just because of some BS, can't fault the game for anything else.

To be fair though, the devs are doing a good job of listening to the community and tweaking the game accordingly.

My mates trying to get me gaming on this, is it a 9/10 game or just mediocre?

I've been far to happy playing BF 1 when it hasn't been lagging but I am interested in TitanFall, it needs a trial of 3 hours though so people can at least try before buying imo.

Absolutely recommend buying it for sure.

Personally if I had the choice of Tf2 vs BF1 it'd be Tf2.

Word

9/10 for sure. It beat doom as my GOTY.
