Titanfall 2

Not really my preferred genre but am willing to give this ago. Its a long way removed from my favourite WW2 type games. Looks a lot of fun though and I like the premise of the game.

Any reliable key sites, I quite fancy this but refuse to pay daft prices on a digital game

CD Keys.

Played MP for the first time last night, really enjoying it although I'm getting my ass handed to me. Up to level 12 or so now, I can see me playing this for several months.

Yeah I've been playing the same but at the same time I still love it. Which is a change as normally I hate it if I'm not in the top 3 on my team.

Had a great game yesterday where I was chaining my wall running/sliding and stim use perfectly. Had 3 Titanfalls in one game (stealing batteries and giving them to friendly Titans is a great way of getting your own) as well as have the highest attack score and a good defensive score. Thought the game had finally clicked with me

Had my worse ever game the match after

I'm playing Amped Hardpoint as I'm more of a static than move around type player. You get loads of points for capturing and defending points. Didn't know you could give your team mates batteries though.

The first time I got on a Titan I was like yeah, ready to fire my gun like the first game and he jumped off with a battery! Caught me off guard!

I got it last week from GK4.me for £32. Code was instantly sent over. I used this discount code for 3% off:

Finally caved and bought it and I love the single player. Just big,dumb fun really but its a nice pallet cleanser between BF1 and Dishonoured 2

Another go on MP last night, just one more led to being up well past my bedtime. Levelling seems pretty slow compared to the first one, or is that just me?

I would like to know if the recent addition of solo private matches actually allows you to play the MP modes with bots on your team as well as the enemy team. Or is it just a mode to let you as a solo player look at the maps?

Me and a mate are thinking of getting this, is it easy to invite a friend to a match? Is it better than the first one in any fans of the first ones opinion?

AdladUK · 8 Nov 2016 at 15:17

People need to start playing the objectives more...

Junglist · 8 Nov 2016 at 15:23

no OCUK network?

why dont you and your mate buy it on origin and try it out???

put in a refund request on the 23rd hour after purchase, then wait 2-3 days for it to be approved, then buy it cheaper elsewhere.

3-4 days of the game for free.

profit!

I would if I understood the flipping game mode. Do I go after the AI, or the players? How is the bounty decided? Is the bounty AI or player?
Where does it explain the logic of the money? How much do I earn for player kills? for AI kills? for titan kills? How much do I lose when I die? Is it always fixed amounts? Is my money meaningless until I 'bank' it? Is there any gameplay logic around how the banks work? There's literally nothing to tell you how to play that mode! :confused:

You get money by killing the AI in the designated drop zones (amount varies depending on the type of AI). There will also be titans that drop and you get a ton killing those.

Yes you also get cash by killing other players (a % of what they are carrying).

The bonus is whatever you deposit when the banks open. They open at the end of every round for a limited time.

If you get killed you lose 50% of whatever bonus you are carrying.

Think that about covers it

rogueblade · 8 Nov 2016 at 16:46

Ok, so my kill counts for permanent money towards my team score, and the banking deposit is an extra bonus?

I was always confident I was good at FPS...

Until I played this.

I'm terrible haha. Do enjoy it though!

DONOHUE07 · 9 Nov 2016 at 01:12

This is the most fun I have had in a online shooter in years!!!!! More people need this in there lives, it's absolutely brilliant

ChrisD. · 9 Nov 2016 at 08:19

Such simple yet brilliant gameplay. Where can I get XP boosts? The faction or whatever I'm in seems to be at 8am, great if I wouldn't be in work by then!

Is this one of those games where newbies will just get destroyed or do you have some sort of chance against people who are levelled up?
