E.g. on both fracture and angel city I prefer to go C (on hardpoint) due to how open they are. What I also do the most is killing titans, considering how quickly a titan goes down when you jump them and pistol them I think it is just more effective to do so as a pilot, and I also have my auto-titan to help out. As for not dying, maybe I have only faced people terrible at aiming with a titan, but I feel almost entirely safe running around or towards a titan outdoors. I just think pilots are too mobile for even accurate players to keep up with the 40mm, and the rockets are too slow which just leaves the machine gun which do kill me now and then but very few run it due to how poorly it does against other titans and even with that they have to actually hit you. Due to me being outside primarely I also find the rifle just better since when outside I see a lot of opportunities to kill pilots just trying to get inside buildings, or going ontop of a roof for some moments like in angel city on B it is quite common for people to run on the roof. In addition scoring headshots is to me far easier with a rifle, which kill insanely fast. And in my experiance with and against a shotgun killing over distance is not viable. I still think it is ridicously good close combat though. | ||

I still think it is ridicously good close combat though. I can usually hang out on roofs for a while too but only if titans are fighting titans. If it's a titan protecting a point or something I just get instagibed. I dunno maybe it's just our playstyles. | ||

6v6 split as 3&3v3&3 essentially, teams of 3 will have 1 pilot in suit, 1 pilot with auto, and 1 pilot for guard/extra suit. I really feel like this game will really reward teamwork and communication much more than normal simply because of how powerful pilots are even when you have multiple titans. I had a fun standoff in suits where I activated shields, and then released at my opponent who also activated shields, and then he released at me and I activated shields again. It was refreshingly entertaining. | ||

Maybe they left out some effects in the beta, but I didn't really see much, if any blood and gore. Maybe you just don't notice it because of the fast pace of the game. | ||

Try melee hit a pilot or grunt with your Titan. | ||

Done that quite a few times, but always just was straight off towards the next target. Can't even tell you what the animation looks like, since it's not as visual as ripping a pilot out of his titan (which is pretty tame). | ||

Especially when it comes to direct bullets from a Titan hitting a pilot. Let's just say that there is no body left, just a mist of blood. There is also the breaking of necks and all those moments where you think, ouch. I do think the pacing does play a role. At least for myself, there is not a lot of downtime so always a constant battle. So noticing smaller details tends to be quite difficult | ||

Titans get easily outmanuvered by pilots, especially you can take on them from behind, and they are vulnerable to long range anti titan attacks. they can't deal with a well hidden Titan hunter. | ||

Rapid rockets Electric Smoke Slave Warheads Nuclear Ejection Survivor Anyone else make the switch over to rapid rockets instead of the 40mm cannon? You lose some range but you can play so much more aggressive and squeeze in so much more damage each time you trade blows compared to the other weapons. I don't think I've lost a 1v1 since switching to this set up and even when I do eventually get warn down... boost in, fire my last salvo of warheads, smoke in their face, then eject! If they survive the blast they're usually worn down enough to finish off with my pilot anti titan weapon. | ||

Then again I don't die much anyway. Either I'm really good at this or my opponents are really, REALLY bad right now because I routinely rack up K/D of 3:1 or 4:1 with typically more Titan kills than my total deaths too. The shotgun is absurd; I see zero reason to use any other weapon in all honesty. Its a brutal weapon, I rarely lose a 1v1 against another pilot. The only thing I've found to be a bit annoying myself is good smart pistol players because that can get really nasty really quickly if you don't put them down immediately and/or don't spot them in time. If I had to compare this game to anything it'd be TF2 in all honesty. I'm getting flashbacks to playing Scout when I play Titanfall. | ||

You got to rodeo them big boys. With the pilot speed and ability to wall run and jump you can easily out maneuver the titan and get into good position. I don't know exactly but I think the arc grenades will not allow them to use electric smoke which is the main worry when your on a titan. So right when you open the little door on his head just throw some arc grenades inside him and start blasting. | ||

Or you can just jump off when he smokes, then jump back on as soon as its over and he'll be forced to exit the titan and fight you on foot. His vision will be obscured by his own smoke so it should be trivial to rodeo him the second time. | ||
