It's true that Respawn is trying something new and I respect them for it. No one made video game magic by trying toake a better version of someone else's game. I would rather they take big risks and make new things. My only minor issue is the lack of a single laser that can be used by a player. This is the future, damn it. | ||

That's all.... :-\ Lasers make sense, that's a good point. Wonder why Respawn didn't implement one. But, perhaps they'll add one or two in the future. | ||

Marketing like that is dumb, but sadly very accurate to how people act. So right now we get sky robots without lasers. | ||

TotalBiscuit had a smart thing to say about DLC, and I dearly pray Respawn is very careful with how they choose to tackle that: it splits the community. Map packs suck wallets dry and only isolate the players not willing to fork over more money for their game. I understand the devs have to make money, but I don't like the practice either, even for new weapons and Titans. Do note that burn cards will NOT EVER be purchasable, thankfully; drift0r confirms. | ||

DLC is the main reason I have not bought the game and probably never will. Im not willing to pay 80+ for a game just so I can still play it after DLC has separated it into people with and people without. That and p2w guns/titans coming down the line. | ||

If they must go with DLC Titans/weapons, I would be ok with Titan clones that have different skins and execution animations, so that there is no balance impact. Would be kind of a waste of money (since I bought the Digital Deluxe version), but I'd rather that I waste money than the game becoming P2W. Also, there's the lightning guns if those count. The Titan has that lightning sniper, and the players get a lightning anti-titan weapon. | ||

I am sure they are very aware of those the market was for COD and didn't want to scare them with phasers and other scifi stuff. Marketing like that is dumb, but sadly very accurate to how people act. So right now we get sky robots without lasers. That's silly, just put reflex sights on everything and they'll love it. | ||

Any advice? Play game modes like hard point and focus on holding/capturing the points. Even guarding the points when no one attacks them gets lots of points for your team, and you can learn the maps and adjust without your kill to death ratio mattering much. Looks like completing the campaign on both sides is required to unlock all 3 titans for customization. These videos might help too: | ||

Any advice? Add us TL-ers on Origin. Play with friends. Devise strategies. Enjoy yourself and your company.  This is for everyone: my Origin handle is "AnaxofRhodes". EDIT: Burn it. I bought it. Downloading now. See you all online in a couple of hours.  EDIT 2: Dag nabbit.... It's not going to download in time for me now. *smh* | ||

My only minor issue is the lack of a single laser that can be used by a player. This is the future, damn it. there is a charge anti titan laser weapon usable by pilots. it does a crazy amount of damage (I think one shot can takes out around one fifth-ish health of a titan) and doesn't take too long to charge up. I think it only comes in form of burn cards though. also if anyone is still using cloak, I think you should reconsider changing it to stim. with arc grenade distorting vision, you can get out of really tricky situations. | ||

Any advice? Don't care about KDR, get a smart pistol and minion detector, go farm grunts in attrition, equip cloak and a shotgun, camp the hardpoints in domination, or practice a bit in the training then hop into last titan standing, you have much more to play and enjoy than caring about KDR. | ||

Any advice? A lot of playing a shooter well comes from two things, map knowledge and what my friends and I call gunskill. Learn the maps, see where you're running into players, where you died from, and be aware of what's around you. Knowing how maps play out in terms of where people go/want to go, helps out immensely for finding kills/protecting objectives. Generally objective type gamemodes work better for this, so hardpoint/CTF are probably the best for this type of thing. Gunskill is just accuracy, knowing how/when to burst and when to go ham on the trigger. Find a gun you like, for learning this I'd recommend either the G2A4 (semi-auto rifle, in the vein of the M14/M1 garand from BF series/FAL from CoD) and once you hit 29 I think, the Hemlok (burstfire, insanely fast TtK, 1-2 bursts to down someone). The Carbine is the best choice until the G2, or if you don't want to try using a semi-auto right away. Something my buddies and I do whenever our aim is off is using either pistols only or other semi-autos to get our aim back. It helps to improve accuracy as well. Once we get the ability to make private matches as well, I recommend going into those and just unloading clips into various walls/walking the maps to get a feel for them on various gamemodes, it's what my old team whenever new maps came out/we needed to work on something together/alone. Playing ranked is fine and all, and your KD really doesn't matter all that much, since when I first started playing MP shooters I generally had a .5-.9 KD, now it's more along the lines of a 1.5-2, depending on what mode/game I'm playing. Don't worry about stats, when I was playing competitively on Gamebattles and the like, my team tried to find a way to look at stats and see how good/bad someone was, and we could never agree on good metrics to use. KD, SPM, accuracy, headshot%, we looked at almost every stat we could for BF3 and CoD and just said, forget it, it's pointless. KD will go up fairly easily once you learn the game, if you're looking for harder improvements stat-wise, look at accuracy. | ||
