Dang, no third win tonight. Had a couple of beers through the evening and I can tell it's had a massive negative effect on my reflexes lol.

Ya, and you.. I guess turn invisible? And can't use guns when you're in that state?? I take that back, rather than pointless, it seems like an actively bad idea to use the vast majority of time. Maybe when someone is sniping you or something.

It's a bummer cause I love the character and I really like the regular decoy. Hope they buff the ulti.

To be fair, they are never really mentioned prior to jumping into the game. I didn't realize what they were until my friend just shot one up after commenting "this thing looks like one of the loot boxes you open".

Yeah, I don't blame anyone for not knowing. The tutorial could definitely have been a bit more comprehensive.

I often get double kills if they are not indoors. Bangalore ult on the other hand only tickles slightly and is pretty easily avoided.

So intro selection doesn't work at all for me, they always say something else.

I think quips is for when people view your profile and when it shows you as champion.

No, definitely not. Champion screen is silent and profile viewing has nothing to do with an "intro".

I think it's supposed to be for the select screen.

I really want to try this but I have so much multiplayer performance angst that I keep getting stuck at the title screen.
How much do I screw up the team if I can't perform well?

Can I somehow tag myself so that it displays "NOOB - Don't expect too much" all over me or something?
I already plan to turn off all voice/chat if I dare take the plunge.

Just play it. Everybody has to start somewhere. Of course you'll suck at the first matches. You have to learn the map, what spots are good, the movement, the weapons you like and so on. If you are lucky you get matched to one or two teammates that will carry you to a top 5 placement or even a win.

Even if your teammates die before they manage to revive you, you will at least get more EXP for staying, because the "time alive" bonus at the end counts your whole team's time; so even if you die a minute into the match and your teammates stay alive for another nine minutes, you will still get a considerable ten minute "time alive" EXP bonus at the end.

I assume at least a few people would stay longer if they knew about this.

Ah, I didn't know that.

The sad part of this angst is that I used to play high level "guild" matches in a UT mod called strike force 20 years ago..
It's about the same amount of time since I've played MP FPS games at all too.
But all that was with kb/m, I'm horrible with a controller! And I can't game with a mouse anymore due to RSI :(

Champion screen is silent because most people haven't gotten any intro quips yet. It's set to "none" by default. I've seen Champion screens where the intro quip is spoken.

Could be glitchy. The only times it worked for me are when I inspect my profile or when it shows me as champion at the start.

Lets also just say ton of references to titans. But these are probably just leftover code references from Titanfall engine.

Weapons

Apparently have code that dictates the range you can hit a headshot from.

Code: 
"headshot_distance"                             "1500"

This translates to 40km for a pistol.

Anyway I am slowly compiling this information and hope to have a lot of info complete by the end of the weekend.

For example you can check out stats on the Kraber sniper rifle.

When I check my friends list on Origin, it says they're playing Squad mode, so I figured there's a solo mode somewhere behind the scenes. I hope they activate it with the new season.

Love titanfall 1 and 2 but the gunplay is the worst part of this game. It's not balanced well for a br at all.

The Hemlock with single fire really is good, holy crap. I got my fifth win and 6 kills with that thing. If you have trouble keeping your aim on target with the full auto weapons go with the Hemlock.

I've suddenly started doing an accidental melee atack when I fire my gun on PS4. Wasn't happening before.

Is this a problem with the game or do I just need a new Dualshock?
