I was surprised that its be a totally successful launch tbh.
I forgot how good this game is. Its so fast paced you need
regular breaks to cool down.
Im up to level 14 again :D
Whats the score with campaign? I tried the militia campaign but
didn't really know what the hell was going on

Lol no idea, there was 2 options when you go online right? I
figured it was all online so just picked the campaign one, there
was a lot of narrative before maps launched about finding some
guy mcconnell or something like that lol, didnt know what the
hell they were on about.
Should i be playing the other one then lol. Can you get your
stats on the titanfall website? Where the heck do grunts and
spectres come from?

If you want to play a team death match type of thing you select
classic ant the main menu and then its the top option;
attrition. That's what im playing. No objective other than kill
the enemy.
Spectres and grunts come from pods dropped that are spawned at
different times of the game. They are AI controlled and are
easier to kill. They also give less attrition points but help
reduce the waiting time for your titan.
Think the points system is
1 Point for a grunt
4 points for a pilot
5 points for a titan
The campaign is useful though for unlocking stuff from what I
can gather

Yeah just had another couple games there, its far better than i
remember the Beta being and i enjoyed that. Obviously one big
bonus is that your progress isnt restricted in any way. Some
of the maps and the graphics in general are gorgeous.

Loving this shit so far. Im having some really good games and
getting some high scores :) The graphics are nice as well. This
feels like my first taste of actual next gen action
You got any tips? Mine is use your cloak when attacking a titan
so you can jump on his back unseen.

Tips, hmm, I dunno. Had some good games performance wise then
some not so good games, i think i could go refining my Titan
combat. I guess as you touch on, you want to try and blindside
them when attacking as a pilot. Oh and if you do mount them,
dont use the sidewinder gun, as thats a quickfire way to kill
yourself. I wonder the best trick for geting pilots off you
when they mount, when in a Titan, do you have to come out the
Titan and shoot them off if a teammate doesnt do it for you?
The ziplines are pretty cool.
One thing i found in the demo that was handy for staying alive
in Titan was using the boost evade move, so when you fire off
some shots, use that to find cover, almost preempt them using
their vortex shield and firing it back at you, or do that when
you've run your shield down and cant return the favour.
Finished the campaign, well was really just along for the ride.
But unlocked the Stryder Titan model. Not customised my
Pilot/Titan loadouts too much yet but working on it.
It says you can unlock the other model if you do the campaign as
part of the Militia but it wasnt immediately obvious to me how
you switch sides. Sure ill figure it out at some point.

It took about 15 deaths for me to realise not to use the
sidewinder when mounting a titan. I think a monkey would have
realised it sooner.
I find the best way is to exit your titan by holding x then
shoot them off. My titan goes nuts though and wont keep still so
its hard to aim at the guy mounting (*snigger*) my titan.
Everyone else's stays still so it must be something im doing.
Ive found using follow mode is quite effective as well. You get
the points for your titans kills as well as your pilot's kills.
Im not too bad with the titan combat tbf. I think careful use of
the shield is key, also take note of when they use their shield
so you can use your rb attack in the knowledge they cant defend
it.
Haven't enjoyed a game this much in years. Might have to have a
look at the campaign as well then. How do you score points? I
couldn't work it out last time

Sorry for the slow reply bud. Im getting better on the old
Titan combat, been on winning side on quite a few 'Last Titan
Standing', also just been playing about with loadouts etc trying
to find one that suits.
I had totally forgot about the follow mode, thats what happens
when you skip doing the tutorial again. Now i understand what
the 'Auto-Titans' are.
I think in campaign you just score points in same way as classic
mode. Although its not always the same game type, i think it
varies depending on the scenario. Have to say though im also
really enjoying this game, its a cracker so far. Extremely
playable.
Oh and dragons, well i have seen them on one map, but i think
they were just there for aesthetics. I shot at one, but there
was no swooping down and killing people? remains to be seen if
they actually have an active role to play in the game or become
involved as part of a dlc later on.

I think the dragons are purely decretive atm. Ive seen them
swoop down to pick up dead grunts but ive had no interaction
with them. In fact all they have achieved is they've made the
game look slightly more geeky than they needed to. Cyborgs and
jet packs; fine, but I draw the line at dragons.
Ive been a bit up and down tbh. I started out absolutely on fire
and I was coming top almost every game. Now though Im not
getting the luck I had before. I seem to get more titan assists
when ive done all the work to bring them down.
I think the standard has really picked up over the last couple
of days. Its absolute carnage and mayhem at times :)
