Titanfall Beta - With stream [Offline]

I understand that the grunts and spectres are supposed to be cannon fodder but wow they are completely worthless. Surely it wouldn't destabilize the game too much if they were actually able to kill pilots, right? I don't think I've ever even been shot by one.

They can shoot you, they just take ages to actually decide they want to.

They're pretty much just mobs to grind out for attachments.

Bluh that's fine I guess, they just feel like a very superficial addition right now. They make the battlefield feel more populated and alive than if it was just 6v6 and no bots, and they do give you something else to shoot at, but it feels like a waste of time killing them sometimes when you could just track down a pilot and get even more points and time shaved off.

Killing a squad of Spectres fresh from their pod nets about as many points as a pilot, and they're easier to find.

On the subject of spectres, are those the darker red small dots on the minimap?

Like those two there?

[Anal Blaze]

Deeper red indicates that a unit is firing/in combat, you see the others because you have the tier equipment to display mobs on you.

they act like creeps from mobas--only there to decrease your cd time for your titan

This game's performance is kind of wonky, was getting straight 60 frames yesterday at high settings and now I'm getting 40 on lowest (same map, Fracture). I should probably restart my computer every once in a while.

and you are absolutely required to walljump into your mech every time for cool points.

it's absolutely fun to play.  my only problem is that the framerate doesn't feel super fluid, but it is beta and i'm hoping there's gonna be smoothing out in the final game.

i'm totally happy with the game as it is.  it's addictive, fun, and easy to enjoy.  i wish they were called dreadnoughts.

forget yeah you are. A real man uses the roosterpit's upper porthole entrance so the Titan can keep fighting as you enter.

Unfortunately for me, it always thinks it's funny to turn the forget around and stuff me into its chest cavity when I'm landing diagonally after a double-jump.

Gotta get straight above it from a rooftop for a smooth entry. Gets kinda hard sometimes when it's managing multiple targets at once and moving around a lot.

[ChexGuy331]

I've done the underhand entry once, which is kind of cool.

But damn, the animation gets a little tedious after like fifty million times.

This game is where it's at man.

Got killed by a grunt today :(

And it was during my cool sniper gameplay, so now everyone is going to see how worthless I am.

wo
i have so many questions for you
where did this happen?
were you moving around when it happened?
were you already really injured?
do they possess an instakill melee or something?
how long did it take if you were at full health?
