I've regened every weapon and can do pretty much all the challenges
True mastery comes from use in the field

Yeah, Thats what titanfall makes you do with the challenges. YOu actualy had to get good with some pretty awfull weapons too. The TF1 Railgun for example wasn't what it is in TF2 with Northstar.

Any tips for beginners -- loadout, techniques, which titan, etc? I'm normally pretty competent in shooters but I fucking suck at this game.

R2O1 and Car are good all purpose guns
Ion and Tone are pretty strong

Make sure you move fast
You stay in one place too long and you will die

Don't tunnel vision
Opportunities constantly pop up

Hip fire is very viable in this game especially moving fast

Wall run everywhere, short runs long jumps.

Slide around corners and don't ADS if an enemy is close.

I like the grappling hook for mobility but phase shift is excellent at saving your ass.

There are good weapons for each class and then there are some real stinkers.



Favorite loadout is firestar, car, mgl, grappling hook, fast regen, kill report. Don't ever ADS with the car and just wall run to victory.

This game is so much fucking fun

I'm approaching Gen X and there's still so much for me to master and improve on it's crazy

The best part is that I still want to play and improve. Generally around this time I'm sick of a game and move on.

Right

This game's skill ceiling is so high

A game with this movement system would be a good game by itself and then they add Titans on top of that and it's insane

So much to do so much to see.

Unlock the Devotion, A-Wall, and Pilot Sentry as soon as you can, Find a high defensable spot and go to town.
Only use Tone and Legion as your titans.

Alternatively use Sonar Knife and Map Hack

Don't worry I never actually do this, and most likley never ever will, even with as salty as I get with this game. In fact its a part of the reason I don't play. But, everyone is sick of me ranting so ill leave it there.

I still want to try different Titans but I just really got suited to the Scorch

Tone is the easiest thing to transition to, fam.

But as much as I still hate the game I really appreciate the design of the different titans, especially Scorch and Northstar. In Titanfall 1 the use of the Ogre was mostly relegated to scrubs who's playstyle consisted of:
Step 1) Empty Chaingun clip
Step 2) Drop smoke for no reason
Step 3) Mash the Melee button mindlessly
Step 4) Panic eject the moment something breathes in your general direction

And even with higher level players they just wouldnt use it. Tanking just didnt work out.

But int Titanfall 2 they turned it into Scorch which has a great toolkit and extremely high dammage output as long as you play it well. Never mind the canister Combo's that can almost one-shot some titans, the Erupting Burning Finger shieild is an absolute tool of destruction when the enemies are foolish enough to let you get close.

And then we have Northstar who fixes the biggest problem of the plasma railgun, which was in practice, probably the shittiest weapon in TF1. Sure the thing could Two-Piece a Strider but that was if you could hit the damn thing to begin with. But Northstar gives the gun the tools it needs to succeed. Most important was making it a flying Strider. Flying gives the railgun the opportunities to land shots that it never really got in Titanfall 1. As much as I hate the less vertical level design, in TF2 this is at least a blessing for Notrthstar for the same reason. And then acces to the most mobile frame makes it perfect for Hit and Run tactics. The railgun isn't a weapon you want to be using in skirmishes anyway. It also has the trap for this as well. But then there is the Cluster Bomb which is plainly the best Ordinance in titanfall as it always has been. There was a reason EVERYONE with a brain ran these: Its because they are perfect in every way and do EVERYTHING.
- They shred pilots in any situation, but espesialy in buildings
- They shred titans that cant/don't dash away
- They are an anti-rodeo tool
and most importantly for Northstar it is a powerfull area of denial tool.
The one downside to the kit however is the Ult it stole from Phara which unlike Pharah has wet-fart dammage output and even more importantly goes completely against the kit by exposing it for a long period of time.

FrothyOmen's YT channel has a bunch of really good guides for movement, weapons and titans as well as a tier list for best loadout options.

EVA-8, CAR, Volt, Hemlok, Devotion, G2A5 and Alternator are your best bets for primary weapon.

Also, crouch while in mid air and you'll insta-slide upon hitting the floor and retain your momentum.

Anyway, I've been experimenting with stupid loadouts recently. I've discovered the Softball, P2016, Flatline and Spitfire are all pretty fun to use.

Sure, they're not as good or efficient as the EVA or CAR, but goddamn I'm having fun jumping off the walls and sticky grenading people in the face. It's alot more fun and challenging than meta crap.

P2016 op and you unlock the best banner while using it.

Flatline is the full auto answer to the hemlock, and spitfire has no recoil but shit damage.

I really dig the wingman too, two popping enemies while wall running gets my d hard.

I really hope they release more titans, the first loadout you get in the campaign was pretty awesome.

I found the Flatline horrible at first but it's actually ok after getting HCOG.

I really hope they release more titans, the first loadout you get in the campaign was pretty awesome.

The Expedition (With the XO16A2, vortex shield and MTLS) and Brute (Quad Rocket with hover) would be so cool. Especially if they brought back the OG Atlas and Stryder for them.

Here's hoping, I think they just released new camos for the titans tho, unless warpaint was always there and I just miss it.

Titanfall was weeb to begin with. Respawn admits such. Even the Stryder was pretty blatantly a skinnier Sutherland frame from Code Geass without a head.

The community's definitely fun at times.

After this game:
Spoiler

I got these two messages.



It was my first game using a shotgun (I think), I didn't camp for a moment and spent most of the match in my titan. Welp.

Being accused of hacking after a match

Best feeling ever
