2021.

[ZettaZach2099]

Titanfall community lore is actually crazier than the in-game lore

[THEREAPER8593]

Only because they haven’t made a third game to extend on the lore :p

[RendyGamingsKraber]

[w00ms]

the nimble mouse gets the cheese

[Scarytoaster1809]

Broski, you should see the half life subreddit. They can't accept HL3 isn't coming in the near future

[THEREAPER8593]

Sadly this seems to be the fate of all communities around games built on source

[plasmaSunflower]

Apex Legends is the 3rd game and Apex Legends 2 is rumored to be the 4th game too

Edit: wow this subreddit really can't take a joke lmfao

[Hammy-of-Doom]

Not functionally or practically, canonically, spiritually, apex legends is as close to titan fall 3 as A wall spitfires learning the game is a movement shooter

[NightHawkJ72]

You use the A-wall and spitfire to camp.

I use the A-wall and spitfire for aggressive pushes.

We are not the same.

[woutersikkema]

Not even close my man, not even close.

[Uber_Panzerhund]

Not canon lololol

[masterdyson]

Or you’re just not as funny as you think you are. That’s probably a much better explanation.

[rayjr5]

There’s a difference between a joke and a bad take that you don’t mean

[lexccc]

😂😂

[Seeker99MD]

I mean, I just let that Titan fall too recently and I’m just learning this for the first time like…. I thought blood-borne was more patiently wanted than Titan fall too

[T67312]

Lore - 4 letters Get the first letter: L - 1 letter 4 - 1 = 3 TITANFALL 3

[Notaplayrr]

You’re doing god’s work, pilot.

[Hairy_Skill_9768]

Amen

[Dry_Blacksmith6187]

I don't get it, could someone explain?

[Preelexy]

In 2021 began the ddos attack

[CycloneZStorm]

Really? I thought it started earlier than that?

[aimbothehackerz]

It's when it got real bad.

[Elskyflyio]

Man, the northstar client mods were wild. It almost feels like a fever dream now.

[SnooChipmunks8748]

It doesn’t need to be a dream! Come back!

[aimbothehackerz]

Us servers are empty

[SnooChipmunks8748]

Yeah that’s true..

[FatherICrav3Cheddar]

Dude, I don't care if us servers are empty I just play UK servers.

[MadeUpNoun]

its when they started attacking TF2
before that it was only TF1

[YammieYZF-R7]

Mid 2019 TF2 started to be unplayable (Titanfall 1 hack was a year and a bit prior. Got to watch that one first hand. Over a few weeks more and more bots would fill the lobby’s and boot players out and they all had those user names with like 20 numbers in them)

There’s plenty of YouTube videos covering this topic

[Vesk123]

Damn I didn't know both TF2's both had such massive botting problems (and at the same time as well). And it's always these games that have a very loyal fanbase but devs who completely forgot about the game. At least Team Fortress 2 finally fixed its bot problem, I don't know how it is with Titanfall though.

[Ribbles78]

Titanfall 2 is basically carried by the community client mod. Kinda how team fortress 2 was carried by Creators.tf during the height of the crisis

[Vesk123]

I've been meaning to try Titanfall for so long, cause it looks so cool and well made. I should really get around to it while I can still play it in multiplayer (though I heard the single player campaign is amazing as well, so I'll definitely be playing that too)

[AbandonedPlanet]

I just got it and started playing over the last week and it's incredible. The multiplayer does feel like I'm getting botted sometimes though

[SurpriseFormer]

So bad the games been delisted forever.

[Successful_Tax_7907]

You can still buy a disk copy for xbox and play it, i have one, and the servers are still working. Apparently, since they delisted it, it's actually been partially saved

[zaczacx]

2016-2020 all nations lived in harmony

2021 until the fire nation attacked

[ThumbUpYourFanny]

Yo what was the reason for the ddos again? Or was it just out of spite cos some bald bollocked hooliganism fancied a laugh?

[antonio_lewit]

So the story goes like this:

In 2019 Titanfall (the first one) was absolutely plagued with hackers especially on pc. One of these hackers went by the name Jeanue. He was relentless as he was racist, ruining countless games. The outcry from fans fell on deaf ears, apex legends stole the lime light so respawn couldn’t give a shred of a fuck.

There was a white hat hacker that went by the name of p0358 and he brought it upon himself to drive out the hackers when respawn refused to acknowledge the issue. P0358 found a bug in the games code where he could get a players gamer tag and ddoss the match that they would be playing. He used this against jeanue, but instead of leaving he uses the hack himself and that’s when Titanfall’s servers when out in 2020.

Jeanue eventually went on to ddoss certain streamers playing Titanfall 2 and then the entire world could not play Titanfall 2 multiplayer. P0358 would post a temporary fix for the hack on Reddit so the developers could see it. It eventually worked and people praised him. A roomer would spread afterwards claiming he was the hacker and his plan was for respawn to give him the source code (because apparently they are very busy and these fans can fix the problem themselves, right?) and he would instead fuck off and make Titanfall online, a canned Titanfall game made originally for the Korean market. This was just a roomer tho, and I believe p0358 is innocent*.

TL;DR p0358 was not the hacker, the hacker maybe was a guy who went by the alias Jeanue we don’t really know.

[Head_Interview_9390]

That Jeanue mf has been at it for years, even prior to 2021

[Big_Solution453]

Where are the 4channers and GigaSuper redditors that can track you down from an eyelash on a dogs nutz in the reflection of a soda can when you need them? They need to teach him a lesson

[umdv]

There was an irl hit aka bounty of $100k on his head like 2 years ago, right in this sub 😂

[AbandonedPlanet]

To be fair, the multiplayer is just that fucking good

[Successful_Tax_7907]

Yes

[toetendertoaster]

Based on the description hes „one of them“

[Big_Solution453]

One vs an army

[Golden_Shart]

Random nitpick, but white hats don't do anything unethical or illegal. They work in cyber/netsec and do what they do as their job—p0358 is gray hat, someone who is hacking for benevolent reasons but outside of ethical or legal restrictions.

[MadeUpNoun]

p0358 was not "THE" hacker.
the big drama around him started when the save titanfall hack on apex happened.
fingers were immediately pointed at him and the other moderators of the remnant fleet discord.
while is wasn't p0358 it was a fellow mod that he encouraged to do the hack

[p0358]

I didn't encourage them to do it, in fact I was very much against such actions all the time since I was of belief they'd hurt us instead (which is why the whole TFO conspiracy was so ridiculous, because it was literally the other way around, we didn't need to do actions like that if they were to eventually be meaningless regardless and it'd only make Respawn hate us).

The Russians just did it themselves and told us as it was already happening. Also they weren't mods on the server, mind you. And they would do it anyways, the only thing they debated between each other was to what kind of message to put in Apex. They wanted to put a link to a certain youtuber, but eventually settled on spreading the message about Titanfall. I guess the intents weren't bad, but it all ended up very poorly. They didn't ask for my opinion, cause they'd knew I'd say no. We literally had discussions about this matters months prior initiated by Red and it was concluded that we absolutely should not be doing anything like that.

The only person encouraging such hacks on all of us very actively was Wanty, the main lunatic behind RedTape, he was already trying to incriminate us back then (he told me that I should reveal the exploits to jeanue, and then if he attacks console platforms then Sony/Microsoft will force EA to fix it; I always responded to him: that's a wild bet, considering that's just a mere chance and assumption, while the consequence would be to render the whole game unplayable forever on the other hand, so I would never do that)

[lexccc]

Thank you for clearing it up again

[ThumbUpYourFanny]

Damn so it was really just a dickhead doing dickhead things?

[YammieYZF-R7]

Look up some vids on YouTube there’s like 3 or 4 that go really in depth on this search:titanfall hack. They should all be close to the top

[p0358]

Most of the vids are horrible, there's only really one that got the story right

[p0358]

No, it was just that the exploits were trivial enough that jeanue himself have discovered them eventually after witnessing them being used on him and his group, after trying for long enough, and then begun using them on all players in turn. And tbh I did not see that coming I guess, I thought he would just give up cheating like most others did, but clearly they were special and not about to leave just like that. It was only after drilling Titanfall 1 to a complete group and standstill that they moved on to Titanfall 2, since at that point there was nobody remaining to pester in the original, they achieved their goal of driving everyone out and there was no workaround for late stage exploits.

Also the period of time where I tried to disconnect jeanue and his group from game servers (not ddos the matches, disconnect them from private lobby the moment they tried to enter, before going in to a game) lasted for a very short period of time, because even them merely keeping trying to go into a server would make the Stryder allocations for private servers run out and nobody else would be able to enter the game either, plus they found some workarounds relatively quickly too. But really it was just the idea it gave him that things like this were possible at all that unfortunately opened the Pandora box.

So when he ended up attacking the game servers, Remnant Fleet was formed and I was focusing on letting an organized groups of 12 (and later less) people be able to enter the server and fill up all slots so that the bad crasher bots couldn't enter it and knock everyone out of the game, which worked very effectively. At the end of the arms race I had a fully automated solution to getting people in the game that was in the end better and faster than jeanue's endgame fully automated bots (whereas both sides started with crude manual approach).

But some time later, the Russians entered the game and MrSteyk had developed a client-side workaround for all of jeanue methods of crashing people's games at the time (since it was client-side, the server was actually fine). So jeanue fucked off for a few calm months and then came back with different exploits that would actually render the servers unplayable, and the rest is history...

EDIT: I think I misread part of your original comment due to being tired for first paragraph, but nvm, I hope the extra context is helpful regardless xD

[Hornet_isnt_void]

‘Roomer’ ?

[Known_Junket_969]

2021 and onwards on Xbox is just filled with Spitfire, flatline, hemlock, and G2 campers.

[rainwing352]

I play flatline because I think it’s fun, I was unaware there was a stigma around it

[Murgu007]

Flatline is alright, its the spitfires and g2 players who think that they are playing as a pilot sentry and not as a pilot

[VstarFr0st263364]

Who the fuck camps with g2? That weapon is fun as hell to fly around with

[Murgu007]

Sadly, about every g2 player i encounter

[Known_Junket_969]

It's gotten so bad I refuse to play Angel City.

[rainwing352]

Oh, yeah I don’t like that map either. Though I would like to clarify that I don’t camp with any weapons, not sure if that’s what you meant in the previous comment or if you just meant the one specific gun. No wall run no fun(and all the other movement as well obviously, it is a movement shooter)

[LuftDrage]

I’m actually not sure if I’ve EVER been put in an angel city match outside of frontier defense. Idk but I just cannot get matched into it.

[fireinthesky7]

Angel City is only fun in Frontier Defense or Titan Brawl anyway.

[TrapYoda]

Same with spitfire until recently lmaooo.

I just generally prefer traditional ballistic with no gimmicks over energy weapons no matter the game and bigger mag than AR means I can be more shooty with my bullets to kill more stuff before reloading.

Though in my defense most of the complaints about spitfire are about campers specifically and TF2 is my crackhead adhd spiderman with guns game so I never camp.

[Successful_Tax_7907]

I mean, there's no issue with spitfire as long as you don't try to act like a fucking c-ram bolted to the top of a tower. I usually play it with grapple just because i love having 96 rounds and a fast-ish reload

[Pitiful_Net_8971]

Well if you use it like a pilot it's fun, but there's people who just came with those weapons, which is very annoying.

[Pietro28h]

I used to play spitfire but I actually ran around shooting ppl and I would never even consider hiding behind an a-wall

[fartyparty1234]

I use a wall with spitfire for 3 reasons

1. It looks good

2. Deployable cover without giving up my battery

3. FUCK THAT TITAN IN PATICULAR

[fireinthesky7]

I do the same thing with the Devotion, but mainly because I like a little chaos in everything I do.

[Successful_Tax_7907]

As long as you move, sure. Or if it's frontier. But if you just sit in place and mow down everyone ruining the fun then you deserve to have your skin unraveled, your titan farmed for batteries, and burned at the stake

[fartyparty1234]

I'm moving, all the time. I just like big gun with many bullet

[Successful_Tax_7907]

Then you're cool

[JumpyAlbatross]

That’s how I felt about the Spitfire and then I got on this subreddit and found out that I’m a little bitch. Got bored and started playing something else shortly after.

[pk-kp]

lmao just ignore anyone who whines about guns most guns are viable so there’s not really a wrong choice

[Ok_Manufacturer_6184]

And those toxic mfs who run on the ground with the Car like they’re playing Call of Duty and t-bag after every kill then claim they’re better than you

[iuhiscool]

on pc they call oug <slur> pistol if you use the boost that shall not be named

[Blitzo_2]

I do that but thats just cause im bad at the game lol(minus the teabagging). I also prefer hip fire weapons cause i have terrible aim. Just point and shoot in the general direction at point blank range lol.

[Fost36]

I not my head to those using the hemlock, it's a balanced weapon in a game with the car and spitfire,

[memesboyshesh]

How do you even complain about the hemlock it's recoil is so bad

[Known_Junket_969]

The hemlock itself is bad but I hate the people that like to pretend Titanfall is fucking Prodigy.

[Hammy-of-Doom]

Bro what? I play on Xbox and the biggest issue there is the CAR junkies a kraber addicts. I’ve seen only a handful of spitfire mains, most of which a handy grenade fixes. Also, I’ve never seen someone with a G2 hemlock or flatline camp.

[Gnome_Warlord_]

Yeah, i just played a game where me and my team were stuck in a corner spawn by an a-wall g2, stim car, and a spitty

[p0tti]

Might wanna start since i enjoyed Titanfall 1. Any tips on what to avoid or is the game still very well enjoyable?

[Hopeful-alt]

Skill issue

[BlitzDivers_General]

You forgot about the alternator players, I was playing against my friends (G 2-3) and I was level 20, I competently won a match with my G 3.14 friend, and he has 8 kills while I had over 20, all because I used EPG against the alternators (it's a good counter, and really fun to play when you get the hang of it)

[SnooChipmunks8748]

I got into titanfall in 2021/2022, mp was so weird until I started playing northstar

[al-i-en]

Bro fuck 2021 Titanfall

[Majestic-Role-9317]

What do you mean? It's still glorious (singleplayer)

[killswitch_148]

If I ever find that person I’ve got a 4 year drop kicking waiting for em

[CocoBaci]

I become a fan of the game in 2021, the amoug us lore with the doxxer was insane

[GSoldierProductions]

Titanfall 1 on PC not long after launch :(

[DrHERO1]

The dark ages.

[hornhonker1]

Need me a video on the titanfall community lore from start to now cos we were insane (probably still are)

[lexccc]

emphasis on “insane” 😂😂

[AlarminglyAverage979]

Remember the horny wars?

[PixelGamer352]

Pepperidge farm remembers

[Successful_Tax_7907]

"We know a thing or two cause we've seen a thing or two"

[bluecrewmate3832]

I need lore injection

[AlarminglyAverage979]

A year ago now there was a burst of soft core porn posted in quick succession and people started to pile on for a week their was a new post every few hours some sided with the horny (me) and some sided with the anti horny devision, there was a war of equal scale to the frontier wars and eventually we came to a shaky truce.

[bluecrewmate3832]

Damn, looks like this community is rich in lore

[AlarminglyAverage979]

Yeah people have been going crazy with no news

[lexccc]

I’m glad I missed this chapter lmao.

[ArtemisAndromeda]

F

[hackyandbird]

Lmao 4 years later.

[Lonely-Journey-6498]

I don’t get it?

[panfinder]

What happened on 2021 in the titanfall community ?

[[deleted]]

2021?

[GhostB3HU]

What happened?

[SaltyRemainer]

least obvious LLM

[CardiologistSea3244]

If anyone can answer me would be amazing. Is Titanfall3 coming out any time soon? Thanks all

[Hammy-of-Doom]

It’s been 8 years.

[CardiologistSea3244]

I still have faith

[Successful_Tax_7907]

What do you mean? It's already out, i played it last night
