XBO - Titanfall 2

With the tech test / alpha this weekend and next, who's playing? Be good to get a squad going.

Tech test is free to download and play and is on the store - you just need to search for it.

When it goes live in 39 minutes, I'll create a PH "Network" (What they call clans/guilds), as always feel free to join. Post XBL name and PH name below

I found your group.

I had a quick go - it's more titanfall. It's still fast and violent, I'm not sure it's balanced yet and I like the grappling hook.

I'm pretty crap at it.

[phil-sti]

im on it, how o we join the group?

[Mr E]

Search for "Pistonheads" in networks.

I've had 6-8 rounds now.
I can't make the scorch Titan work, I just get pulverised.
Not clear on how one gives batteries to friendly Titans.
The anti-Titan big glowing ball weapon appears horribly unbalanced.
Sniping is near impossible (but I'm a terrible shot)
Why would you pick anything other than the grappling hook?
I miss attrition.

Feels evolutionary rather than a major change, sort of titanfall 1.5.

[phil-sti]

i've maxed it out now, the scortch is ste but i feel the titans are poor so i just use them as auto titans, the Kabar is good and combined with the auto pistol its a good combo.

the auto rifle is by far the best weapon along with pulse knife and electric smoke grenade is brill. really loving Amped Hardpoint

So what do people think of the game?

Graphics are a massive step up form before. Takes a bit longer to get a titan this time I think. The rope is OK.

[Mr E]

Tbh, it's so frantic I haven't paid any attention to how it looks.

[phil-sti]

titan timers need to go back to how they were. i'd like the hardpoints to have an indicator around them so you know where you have to be to take the hardpoint, example is Homestead, taking B seems to have a small area but A and C have a massive area where you can take it. also the spawns are strange, if you hold A and B you should spawn near B not behind A.

I like it, they had adjusted the timing of the Titanfall from yesterday. I went back and had a hour on the first one, and as mentioned, it is Titanfall 1.5. But for me, thats no bad thing.

[phil-sti]

They have adjusted the settings so it's a little easier to get a titan but it's still bks. They need to bring back the actual timers. Titans can help swing a match back in your favour but as it is now if you start slow you won't get your titan up as it's registered on how well your doing. It also doesn't take into account you taking hard points only attacks. Had a match where I pushed the hard points only, Got 1125 defense points and 200 attack and didn't drop a titan.

[Lazadude]

Easiest way I found of getting a titan was to just sit in the back of your first captured point. After its amped, every minute it gives you 25% of the titan build.

Every game I'm first to drop doing that, however it's a stupid tactic.

I've maxed one of every gun and got both titans to max level, scorch is really poop against most things, gun fires too slow, super charge attack does no damage to other titans etc.

After playing this weekend extensively, I think I've decided it's not for me and hanging my hopes on BF1.

[phil-sti]

I really like it but I'm afraid it won't hold a candle to battlefield 1

[maniac886]

Anyone pre-ordered this? - reviews that have come through so far look decent
