At best, using the faster lock perk is the only way to go I think. I've had some success where the faster lock perk lets me get 2 shots off pretty quick, while letting me align my sights with the lock. This means I just keep clicking and it kills them pretty quick. Mind you, it can be disorientating.

That being said, I only started using the smart pistol recently because I was trying to just get all the addons for every weapon - and then they nerf it

The Enhanced Lock reduces the size of the targeting area on-screen, I think. It's faster, but you have to aim a little better, and you have a slightly more difficult time following a Pilot's path if they're bouncing around a lot.



It's a legitimate strategy in Attrition. They respawn more frequently if you kill more of them faster. I once got 60+ in a game by running over them in my Stryder.

What's everyone's favorite Titan chassis thus far? I'm really enjoying the Stryder, Atlas is a close second, and I struggle a ton with the Ogre.

Atlas > all. Damage core is awesome and the balance Between hp and mobility is good

And a Kadaverbb shot me in the face with a shotgun. Wonder if it's the one from team liquid?

Edit: what do most people play as tactical ability? I can't stop using stim personally. It's just soooo awesome.

How were the letters capitalized? I can tell you if you saw the real KBB. (or if he went 34-1; that's usually a good tell-tale sign it's him too, lol)

I'm finding them very situational. All in all, I like Cloak the most. Invisibility isn't end-all, but it's very helpful. Radar Pulse with the shotgun in Dom matches is tons of fun. I see potential in Stim, but I'm not skilled in parkour enough to use it proficiently. -.-'

If i remember correctly it was KadaverBB.
Radar pulse can be awesome in hard point, but i prefer the raw 1v1 strength i get from stim. Also it is easy to disengage with stim. Cloak is something i personally dont like a whole lot, but it can be useful atm. I just feel like after some time people will be good enough to spot it outside of fog

Thoughts guys? I think it's kinda funny and might actually be interesting to watch those matches.

So I've been playing this a fair bit, here are my first thoughts

1) I don't really like playing in the titans. Having one hang around and get me free kills is fun, but actually riding in them feels a little clunky and boring, kind of like a CoD streak call in. On the other hand, dueling a titan as a pilot is hella fun. I've been doing a lot of practicing bouncing around rooftops and vaulting through groups of enemy titans, rodeoing them until they smoke and then bouncing to another one. With an LMG or CAR you can really mess them up.

2) I've had most success with the basic carbine and CAR, both using stim and batteries. Works very well as a hardpoint domination kit and is solid in attrition. That said, I think by far and away the best kit for attrition is improved smart pistol and stim, letting you cruise around the map farming grunts to get your titan down fast. If you move right you can usually outflank and kill a few pilots early in the game too. You can also use it in hardpoint but it's more about being the team minesweeper and taking out all the satchels and AT mines that get sprayed around points.

3) as far as AT weapons go, the big hitting guns are the best for me. Either the missile or laser, both let you take chunks out of enemy titans and then bug out to assist in titan duels or harass good players from safety.

4) I'm kind of disappointed in the weapons once more, I think the smart pistol is a really cool design whose main issue is balance tweaking, which can be done with some very small time increments. I wish they'd come up with more interesting guns rather than just the COD specials. Take a leaf from dem oldschool games and bust out the biorifles, spinfusors and stake crossbows. I get that TF was kind of a concept piece, which is now going to get expanded on since it's shown to be successful, but still...

5) Kind of pissed off with matchmaking. I seem to get matched with everyone from outright rookies to gen5s. Straylia yo.


Overall I'm very impressed, and I think this is the game that was needed to really refresh the MP shooter genre. I wish they'd pushed away a bit more from the COD model and come up with better solutions to the design challenges of the genre, but I can't fault them too much for choosing the route they did and it's certainly paid off nicely.
