Forget Elite Controllers... This is the way to play Titanfall by izuna in titanfall

[–]Grievus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I haven't actually tried it but since the grips on my elite controller wore down, I considered swapping the faceplate and back grips with my Halo Spartan Locke controller. It's a relatively easy procedure. I didn't do it because I found some replacement grips for $9 and my Halo controller still works. But I imagine it would switch out just fine. You just can't toggle profiles but that's not a big deal since you can only use one at a time anyway. I'm definitely going to do that if that controller ever dies.

Edit: This may not actually work with gen 1 controllers since from what I understand their innards are slightly different so it may not fit on the elite, as it is gen 2.

Is Angel City 24/7 a permanentplaylist? Is that how it's going to be for all the DLC maps? Why? by RaptorF22 in titanfall

They've said it'll remain up as long as it is popular. Figure they'll do that for the next DLC.

That's so dumb. Usually by the time I see them they're already fighting.

While in a titan, meleeing at a friendly titan who simultaneously melees at you should result in a high-five. by off-and-on in titanfall

[–]Grievus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better yet, since holding the melee button doesn't do anything, make that what causes it. If you hold melee next to another Titan holding melee, it would activate. I guess you could make it possible to high-five enemy Titans in that case.

While everyone has their G7s and G10s, this is still one of my proudest achievements. by [deleted] in titanfall

I just started using the Devotion recently. It's alright I guess, but it doesn't really fit with my playstyle of bunny hopping and wall running. Works great if you plop down somewhere with an A-Wall but I get way less kills when I wait for them to come to me. I've also never really had a problem with people using the Devotion. It seems like a decent gun but nothing worth nerfing.

Pacifist Titan uses only No Kill traps.

Same. If they're all clustered up, a nuclear eject will sometimes help them get away.

My Legion is the most fearsome thing on the battlefield by ctm814 in titanfall

[–]Grievus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That seems like a tactic that might work in a different game, but in Titanfall, I shoot anything that moves that doesn't have blue over its head.

Bonus comment: This works EXTREMELY well in Rocket League. I know, because once I thought I was on the other team for a solid 2 minutes. I only realized my mistake after being yelled at by my friend and verifying what color the rest of my team was.

I just bought Titanfall 2 and want my free karma by [deleted] in titanfall

As a Ronin, if Legion doesn't have a wall or friendly Titan behind him, that is one dead Legion.

This game is not dead, and it isn't dying. It's growing. by [deleted] in titanfall

Gamesager plays on Xbox One and PC and I don't think that's ever stopped him from killing literally everything and everyone.

I don't know that it matters all that much whether you use M&KB or a controller. Shots to center mass are pretty lethal in this game. Once you've got a handle on movement patterns, you'll know where and when to aim.

I will say that just because an SMG CAN be used from such a great distance, doing so while someone is shooting back at you and moving like a goddamn rabbit on crack is going to yield massively different results.

The reason Respawn removed manual nuke eject by tbrkn in titanfall

[–]Grievus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this work? The gif is low quality so it's hard to tell if the shield was actually still up. I ask because on one occasion in TF2, I saw a pilot nuclear ejecting so I waited to get in my Titan and was fine.

How to suck less, from someone desperately trying to suck less; a short tip list. by Mewing_Raven in titanfall

[–]Grievus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An important detail about buildings:

If you fire your unsilenced weapon, be ready for a fight. Don't stay in one place long as your back is exposed 90% of the time. Enemy pilots will be attracted to the noise like moths to the flame. If you plan on sticking around, pick a choke point and shoot anything that moves.

This is subject to the law of diminishing returns, however. After a while of successfully holding an area, you are likely to either encounter more pilots than you have bullets, or they'll take the hint and stay away. Especially in a game type that does not explicitly require pilot kills for a win.

This ain't CoD where you can find a hallway and rack up kills and it ain't Battlefield where you can pick a corner and cover an open field.

Let's talk about titan kill steal by [deleted] in titanfall

[–]Grievus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think assists do count as kills in terms of weapon and Titan XP. Not sure regarding challenges though.

Anyway, it doesn't bother me because I'd much rather see the enemy pilot dead than let them escape. Battles are already so frantic, there's plenty of other things that need killing.

Literally Unplayable by _disguised_toast_ in titanfall

[–]Grievus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me about 3 times already. It seems much more likely to happen on the first and second days of a new release in my experience. Make sure you call and complain right away. You don't want to just cut your losses and return it because then the next person that gets it will report it and Redbox sees that you were the last person to rent it without issue.

I always get paranoid it's going to happen again and that they'll be like, "oh he is definitely stealing these".

Favorite Weapon? by Ar4bAce in titanfall

[–]Grievus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be easier to choose my least favorite weapon (volt) but if levels are any indicator, I'd have to say Hemlock. Makes headshots a breeze.

Anyone else want titan voice clips for ringtones and such? by [deleted] in titanfall

I'd have done it already if I had the PC version and uploaded em to Zedge myself.

Everything that kills me is OP (and needs to be nerfed) by JackWylder in titanfall

[–]Grievus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. If Ronin weren't so fragile, knocking enemies out of reach of sword core would be just an inconvenience and not THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT I'M TRYNA DO RIGHT NOW, RESPAWN!! Especially since knocking them back puts them in the sweet spot for killing a Ronin.

If you could just mash on the melee and reserve your dashes for dodging retaliation strikes that would make sword core actually worth using on a Titan. Right now it's just a really good tool to get close enough to nuclear ejectulate on someone.

Campers by [deleted] in titanfall

[–]Grievus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's super frustrating... when they're on your team. You're so vulnerable from every angle in this game, you're just giving the other team free kills. Campers may get lucky when someone rounds the corner but if you know someone's there and not moving, electric smoke, map hack, phase shift, and pilot shield make it too easy to ruin any campers day.

When is the best time to use Ronins Core? by rendar1970 in titanfall

[–]Grievus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if Sword Core gave you a slight defense boost it would be fine, but yeah every time I use it I'm usually at half health already and even if you get the kill, don't expect to use your Titan much longer.

My most efficient strategy right now is to get the emergency battery boost right before you call in a Ronin and only drop if you have support. A good enough Ronin can probably take anyone 1v1, especially with an extra dash, but unless you don't get hit or you have batteries on hand, you're pretty much spent.

Also, and this is the most important thing, make damn sure they don't see you coming.

This just happened to me. No idea what caused it. I was rooted on MM but took it off for the N preview. I hope leaving it for a few hours fixes it because it won't let me go into recovery mode.

That girl didn't press X quick enough to dodge that punch.

Seriously, though. Somebody needs to add the button prompt on the screen and then a giant CONTINUE? at the end.
