Titanfall

[MessiaaH]

I think is more to do with the fact that people in the states running 20 second ping. I definitely have lag issues. It takes me a lot more shots to kill people than it takes them to kill me. On my side i does be burying entire clips on people and they don't die. And when watching the Kill cam, from their perspective, not 1 bullet hit them.

But my ping is 150~, them own is 20....so they would definitely have the advantage.

It don't happen all the time, but it happens enough to irritate me. So I does have to fight different than I normally would to compensate.

Its nothing new to us from any other popular fps over the last 5 years. The Dreaded LAG is inescapable, however take solace in knowing that when you're good despite the lag, when u finally do get a sub 60ms connection men will be BAWLING and rage quiting from a side. Try not to get irritated, its just another challenge to overcome XD

[MessiaaH]

That's the way I try to look at it, because we does deliver many ah beat out regardless of the lag lol.

When I get my 100 meg fiber line, its ON!

Titanfall State of Service: Week One



Tuesday, March 18 | T-minus 23 days until final verdict
Current State of Service: Good
Summary: Launch day problems resolved. PC experiencing limited issues. Australia receives dedicated servers.

 One week out, Titanfall seems to be running strong. Isolated reports of lag and hanging matchmaking screens are reaching us, but the Joystiq staff is reporting no significant issues on either PC or Xbox One. The biggest complaint so far seems to be uneven matchmaking, with low-level players regularly being matched with high-level and even Prestige level players.

 Some PC users with Belkin routers are still having trouble connecting, but Belkin offered a workaround that's less expensive than "buy a new router."

 If you encounter any problems with Titanfall, let us know in the comments or on Joystiq's Twitter or Facebook accounts (use the hashtag #sos and don't forget to specify your platform!).

That matchmaking is a serious thing.
I won't be playing regularly until that fix.

That's my only gripe with the game thus far.


Getting steamrolled by higher-level players seemingly with no life away from the game gets old fast.

Cool story:
My very 2nd match, everyone on my team was ranked 5 and lower, and the opposing team had players ranked 35 and above.
In the lobby chat, one player from the opp-for remarked: '...wow it's  "team life"  vs "team no life"'.

...and I had to laugh, because I knew it would happen.
Guess which team won...by a landslide.

Archie, better than that, we run into that same scheme on Xbox Live, and we handle business....if you low level, you use default classes which are good enough...what happens when you reach generation and have to start over, same difference...suck it up and fight through it like a TITAN!!!

Being low leveled didn't stop me from topping the team a few times when i played wit Wyatt, Mez, Messiaah etc.

To be quite honest. I see no great advantage in being higher leveled other than the fact that your have different options of weapons and perks. Once you're decent at the game, you need not worry about higher levels.

[Arcmanov]

Well in my experience, higher-level players tend to be the ones with more playtime, better map knowledge, better weapons/gear,
and better overall muscle-memory for that particular game.
It is, after all, a 'twitch' shooter.

...but that's why matchmaking is so important.
Not everyone has the time to get up to that level of skill.   I certainly don't.
(Yeah, I actually happen to have a life...shocking concept eh?  )

It's even more important in Titanfall because the player count is so small.
At least in other titles you may have a lot of teammates of varying skill levels to 'buff' your team somewhat.

I remember watching Angry Joe's beta gameplay stream and it was the same thing.
His lower-ranked team got consistently trampled by a higher-ranked, clearly more experienced team.

I'm pretty sure some proper matchmaking would have made for a less 'rapey' experience. 


I'm not asking for the game to hold my hand...just a little more consideration for those of us with less time.

Lol noob alert. The better weapons and gear thing don't matter. Am at lvl 49 and I don't have any gear or weapons that make me feel I have an advantage over any lower lvl players. Am still using the same gun and gear everyone gets at lvl 1. Lol spending more time on bf4 but want to come on titanfall and beat up men? Take ownage lmao

How juvenile.

I put forward a proper, compelling argument for proper matchmaking, and all you could respond with is 'noob alert'?

Arc. It's best to not respond to two particular people on these forums these days.

I do agree with you though. I didn't intend on shooting any blows at your capabilities. We all who are important here know that you are a man with more responsibilities than many of us and can only play when you have a glimpse of time.

The need for a proper match making system is needed and I'm sure it'll come in a patch soon. What I found lacking in this game is the "tutorial" so to speak. The training is lacking in getting players used to the gameplay imo. And the campaign, where traditionally is supposed to assist you in learning the game, basically throws you to the dogs.

A lot of people were disappointed that the campaign gave them no room to learn the game. It was just dialogue slapped onto a MP arena. Coming from the makers of COD MW, I'm very disappointed in that respect.

[firekyler]

Know what I will admit I like ole talk. But for me I don't find the skill based matchmaking thing to be an issue as I played so much cod, so doh beat up yourself is ah cool scene. What currently played game has skill based matchmaking anybody? Dont mind giving that a go

Note: really not happy that I make virtue list of men not to respond too

you're definitely not on that list as far as I'm concerned FireKyler.

I think Virtue may have confused you with someone else! lol

Your opinions have been very measured and intelligent. Kudos for that.

As for Arc, I certainly have as much if not more responsibilities than you and definitely got a ton of "life" going on.

Yet, we wtfpwn the opposition in this game. Matchmaking has not been a problem as Virtue rightfully pointed out.

Case in point, we just beat a team that had a Prestige 5, 6 and 10. True story.

I think your problem maybe team mates, or lack thereof. Which platform are you playing on Arc??? If it is PC, I haven't seen you on teamspeak or in any of our team games.

My Response to the earlier bacchanal :

I too, like wyatt, have a "life" , but firefly did make one very compelling point. If you want to spend your time behind B4, you cant complain about higher level's in titanfall. Also. As he also pointed out. Higher levels in this game is not the same as COD and Battlefield. in those games, there were clear caps. In bad company 2, you are going to get owned until level 15, not because of map knowledge, or muscles memory. but because at level 15 you get more health and more damage.

In titanfall, the smart pistol and carbine (the first 2 weapons unlocked by default) are the 2 stinkest weapons in the game as far as im concerned. You get them when the game now start, and gen 5 level 49 men still rocking it. Leveling up in this game is not as rewarding as cod and battlefield.

As far as map knowledge and learning the game, you cant escape that. Time don't always equate to experience, and if you're a good fps player you can hold your own just fine. But if spending time in a game gets you better at it, it applies to all games, from Killer Instinct, to StarCraft, to Titanfall, cant escape that, so no need to complain.

As wyatt pointed out though, we beat-out many ah high level players already.

Also Wyatt's other brilliant point. Teamwork. Anytime we swetting, it have at least 1 other member there to communicate with and run some swet via teamspeak. So though at a ping disadvantage, our superior communication and coordination makes up for it (although the enemy use ingame chat and gets the same thing).

Watch them results I post above, level damage pass tonight. Especially when we running together and looking out for each other. Is a team based game, and with just 6 players on your team, teamwork is even more important than other games. If you jump in solo, not communicating with nobody, or playing with noobs, you are certainly going to get owned more than normal.

All that to say is........teamspeak.carigamers.com -> Titanfall channel. FALL EEN!
We will pull up the slack.
