There was lock on weapons in Halo, and they seemed to have no problems with competitive play.
Needler, Plasma sword, Rocket Launcher

Fucking needler could shout you around a corner.

The smart gun is only bad when you play it as a burn card, which I'm sure will get nerfed. There are Newb cannons in every FPS.

Unfortunately until they add more shit in, there's a very standard Titan build that most of the 'competitive' people use.

40mm
Electric Smoke
Regen
Auto Eject

According to mined files there's a good amount (10ish, maybe?) Titan guns that will be in game hopefully. That'll open up the play style a bit more.

Also, there's a Titan perk called "Titan Punch" in that mined data. Yes. Fucking. Please. Already enjoyed punching Titans off the cliff, so this can only get better!

Side note: I played on PC and XB1 and I'm not sure I felt any sort of difference except for one out of the ~100 games I've played where I had rubberbanding/chop on PC.

40MM and Regen are very strong but I think the vortex shield is a must have for facing other titans, and I like survivor. The lock on rockets are garbage compared to the salvo.

Titan Punch sounds amazing because I love meleeing with my titan.

Quad rockets
Smoke
Nuke on death
Auto eject

Is way more fun, taking down 2-3 titans just by sprinting towards them and unloading is good times.

Yeah, lock on's are only good for Last Titan Standing, and that's a whole complete different beast. Salvo's a must for other modes for taking out pilots/NPC's quicker. You can get around Vortex pretty easily by just timing strafe vs their salvo or using buildings as cover. Experienced players rarely ever die to nuke unless boxed in by teammates.

Weapons still need balancing. Especially on Titan side. The assault Titan's gun is just..not viable. Pilot weapons aren't bad but SMG is god mode up close and Sniper is mostly useless compared to carbine. Shotgun's pretty good. I haven't fucked with pistols enough to comment, but I hear smart pistols are quite the rage~

Testing shadowplay recording.
EDIT: I just looked and shadowplay now has options for resolution and framerate, yay! So disregard everything else I said.

Does it still have problems with disconnecting from twitch? (because I didn't google that myself)

Depends on playstyle I think. Vortex's use is very limited if you're the type of person who uses mech-sized buildings to use as cover and just dashes in and out. This has been VERY effective for me and basically how I played mechwarrior. The weakness there is that a pilot can run through the building and rodeo you easier. I find smoke a much more effective equip for that kind of gameplay. As for the lock-on, I've had rather good luck with that in last titan standing. the DPS seems much higher overall when I do connect, and the cooldown is a lot lower if I'm not mistaken.

E: I use salvo for hardpoint and attrition, lock-on for last titan standing

Column, Sean, knock off the shit show. It's fine to post an article showing that Titanfall drops to 35fps. And it's fine to say, 'who cares'. But it's pretty pathetic to be a ps4 banner holder and come into a xbone semi-exclusive and start shit. It's also pathetic to react so vehemently and strongly to an article that shows Titanfall doesn't hold a steady fps.
You're a hypocrite, Tuco. I saidnot one thingabout the PS4. I was waving the PC banner and calling Column out on his lies. But I guess it's only okay foryouto go around waving that flag and calling people "console peasants".

Ned stark him Tuco, or I will take it as a flag that I can continue to post responses to his allegations.

Is the beta for PC an open beta?
its open beta at the moment for pc and xbone, until feb 19th at 6pm PST (~2 more days). just install/launch origin and you should see a play titanfall beta popup window, its a 13 gig download but it downloads 2-3x as fast than normal due to compression etc. they did run out of keys so going through customer service may not help anymore

and sean, you need to just ignore columns posts 99% of the time he is just trolling with his posts, no matter what you say he will always needle you with xbone > all and his insightful commentary on how pros play fps'

people are definitely getting better at anti-rodeo, got stomped about 50% of the time rodeo'ing now, usually by a teammate. the reload time is killer with SMGs

Weird tip I found that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. While running along a wall, hold down aim down sites and you will stop running and hang from the wall like a monkey.

Ok thanks Spronk. I launched Origin and I didn't see it listed. Is it hidden anywhere? I checked my email and don't have a key so not sure downloading the client would even help. I am interested in trying this out.

That's strange, I didn't sign up for anything and when I launched Origin today it showed up in My Games tab.

They just said on twitter that PC will have dedicated servers available at launch. I don't even know how that would work with the matchmaking setup they have.
