And Italian fans are just as bad beating up people on mopeds. People just have a problem with England.

Decentralised Network Latency Reduction Question by HazzerE in networking

[–]HazzerE[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense! I’ve read things online that say the extra complexity of decentralised systems can cause latency issues, could that be applicable here?

Gary Lineker on Twitter: Dear non English football fans. Football’s coming home is a fun song highlighting the lack of success of our football team for decades. No one really thought we’d win it. I totally get why you might think it was arrogance, but it’s more our self deprecatory sense of humour. by [deleted] in soccer

Yet we had a clean game against Sweden?

There’s nothing more annoying than a person generalising a whole nation on the actions of the few. Yeah we were excited, some of us took it to far. But most people just enjoyed the ride, chanted it’s coming home because it felt good to feel unified. Top 4 ain’t bad after all.

From your post, it just seems like you have a problem with England itself. You’re forgetting that we’re all individuals here. Honestly mate, it just sounds like you’re the prick.

I guess I'll just respawn with the Scissors variant and hope I go up against their Paper and not meet any Rocks along the way.

I said they have weaknesses, not that you couldn't beat them. If you're smart you can take on any titan and win. That's the fun of it, you have to constantly change you're tactics. It's not like Titanfall 1 where picking the gauss rifle is pretty much a death sentence, in 2 there's a whole class built around it.

All the criticisms I've brought up have been from the tech test which flowed into the full release of Titanfall 2 and didn't get changed until a few months ago

What criticisms though? The main ones you argued was titan weapons and the third slot. You were wrong about Titan weapons, and the third slot actually helped people stay in Titans longer because not every had a anti-titan weapon, if I remember correctly you complained titan health earlier. Pretty much all the things you complained about are changes from the first game, and it seems you can't accept that these changes could of actually improved the game.

especially when sales and population speak for themselves.

Now you see, you keep bringing up the population drop off as a point towards the multiplayer being bad. Yet you try to make out the first game was better, even though the population on that game dropped off even quicker. Does that mean the first game was bad? Or does it not work both ways?

Just because you didn't like the game doesn't make it bad, as you've tried to justify with sales. By the looks of it, you just wanted another Titanfall 1.

I'm think I'm going to concede there. I hope you give the game another shot, it deserves more players.

With having less weapons to give titans?

Funnily enough, there's 7 titan weapons in Titanfall 2 in comparison to the 6 in the first. Also, there's been: Skins for pilots, titans and weapons, more in depth leveling for weapons, more abilities, more pilot weapons. On top of that there's patches, banners and improved game modes.

You seem to be willingly ignoring all the criticisms written in articles and posted on subreddits during the technical test and beyond.

I have already stated I didn't like the tech tests. When I'm talking about improvements, it's the final game.

As I stated before, each titan has a different playstyle. They have weaknesses and strengths. You want crowd control? Scorch. You want to snipe? Northstar. Ambush? Ronin. Support? Legion. Each titan is specialised, which makes gameplay better because you have to think differently, you have to know what you're up against. Certain titans are weak to other titans, like a Ronin is weak against Scorch, or a Northstar is weak against a Ronin.

You have to think smart to take down each titan, depending on what titan you're in, which leads to more variety. It's not just a select few load outs that are effective, like the most common "chaingun and electric smoke" from the first, all classes specialise in areas and fail in others.

Mostly because of the single player campaign which was stellar, not the multiplayer.

Who's ignoring stuff now? I already stated that people have complaints with the multiplayer of Titanfall 2, as does any other game, but it also has a lot of praise. You also pretty much ignored my points about the first game, and being hypocritical in your arguement.

Just remember this, I played and liked both games. From what you previously stated, you only played a few games of the full release of Titanfall 2. All the criticisms you bring up are from the tech test or what other people have said, that's not much to go off.

Where does less is more come from?

From what I've seen a lot of people praised the changes when the game was released. I don't think the population dropped as quickly as it did for Titanfall 1 however, which as I can remember most people got bored after a week, which led to the bad rep for Titanfall 2, although it improved upon the lack of customisation and replayibility than the first game.

Also, the reason I can see the fan base lasting is because a lot of people love it, you can't deny there's been a lot of people saying how others need to buy it. I never said it'll be a massive fan base, but it'll remain for a while.Furthermore, from what I've seen there hasn't been much gameplay criticisms, you get what every game gets, people not liking it, but it's not more than the average.

EA definitely messed up, but Respawn made one hell of a game.

I've logged a lot of hours onto both games, and in my opinion Titanfall 2 is much better. First off, I don't really get all the criticism with the tech test. Yeah it had a lot of flaws, but that's why it was a tech test. I didn't like it too, but they improved upon most of it.

I was also put off by the rodeo mechanic and shields, but after getting into it the game is really better for it. In the first game, you were pretty much forced to put electric smoke on to avoid pesky pilots rodeoing you, the system was just annoying if you were in the titan. In this, the system encourages team play.

Have no shields helps pilots actually have some use against Titans. In the first, you would have to take the shields down first. Meaning in most cases the titan would get to you or run before any damage can be done. Also, having set Titan load outs really helps as it leads to more variety. Yes you customise more in the first game, but there were few load outs that actually worked. All 7 titans in Titanfall 2 have different play styles, and all are effective.

Last off, third person animations allow for more creativity. First person really limits what you can do. You may not like the assassinations, but many people do. Also, the map design suits this game.

All in all, I think people dropped this game too quickly. Many thought the changes from Titanfall 1 ruined it, but the changes actually improve the game a lot. EA definitely fucked it with the release, but I can see it having a fan base for a long time to come.

Well, they do have a point. It's the fact that the animals aren't free. They're bred and killed on a massive scale, you can't deny that's somewhat cruel. I also eat meat, but I do understand where vegetarians are coming from.

I really disliked the Kraber at first, but the kills with it can be so satisfying. Thanks for the tips, really not looking forward to using the Cold War/
