    We're usually on later (when the woman passes out lol) around 11PM EST. I'll add you just in case.

    And no, classic matchmaking is just as screwed as campaign. At level 29 (I think) you'll unlock the Hemlock. It's a 3 round burst rifle that I LOVE. But before that I also used the first rifle. The G2A4 is nice but I needed more.

    I suck with the G2A4. Maybe it's because I had a suppressor on it, but I was 3-shotting guys it seemed like and they wouldn't die. The carbine you start with is ok (I think career wise I have the most kills with it), but I moved on to the Hemlock with an acog scope and suppressor.

    As far as anti-titan weapons go, I think I like the MAG launcher best, but I have been recently trying to use the plasma rifle (the one you charge).


    Bickety, I'd love to play with someone if you're ever on when I get on (I think we're XBL friends).

    I finally ended up on the stacked side of things last night. Got my win % up to a whopping 37%! If you play by yourself, you have a better chance of filing in an open spot on a strong team.

    Had a chance to play with Stiches for a few rounds. Good fun :)

    We're not very good. I'm a level 33 because i have 13 hours of gameplay. Not because I'm good.

    Like I said....better than this 46 year old man. My K/D against players is less than 1. It is getting better though and the 3 round burst rifle I just unlocked is the best weapon I've used so far. It needs a scope though.

    Tempted to jump on this with the $450 bundle. Just wish Amazon would price match so I can use the $200 gift card I've had since Christmas.

    Anyway, seems some of you guys are enjoying this, but is it really good? I've been waiting for one really good game worth playing on either console to make the plunge. Is this the game? Read a lot of Amazon reviews and they are mixed. A lot of people angry there is no campaign but I can live with that.

    I wouldn't buy an XB1 solely for Titanfall. I do like it a lot, but I can see it gathering dust in a month. I don't think there is enough content there to make it last.

    Well, I wouldn't be buying it just for that. I'm just waiting for a game good enough to justify making the plunge to next generation, rather than spending $450 to play one game. But I do appreciate the honest feedback. If Amazon price matches I'm in. Otherwise, I'll wait. Thanks!

    So I think as part of the 2nd (re)generation, you have to do the 5-tiers of the shotgun, and just let me say I SUCK with this gun. I just struggle to kill any pilots at all, and it is very frustrating to go from dropping 6/3/18/4 a match with the LMG (before regeneration) to being like 1/2/22/4 with the Eva-8 shotgun.

    My bundle comes tomorrow, looking forward to getting started with this game. I'll shoot you all friend requests when I'm up and running. I'm kinda bummed it's a download code, I like having the physical game but oh well.

    There was a time when a father looked forward to making his son do the chores he didn't want to do anymore, like mow the lawn and take out the garbage.

    Nowadays, dads just want their kids to do the boring grinding on their video games so they can play all powered up.

    There are some games that have truly passed me by. The COD series is one of them. I cannot remotely hang with teenagers and young adults in a came that fast paced. That were the son comes in :D

    I've downloaded the last 3 games I've bought. My only worry is running out of hd space. My buddy bought the physical game and it didn't even come with that useless 4 page instruction manual that warns you not to play if you have epilepsy.

    I'm right there with you buddy. I stopped gaming altogether for about 2 years and now I'm just slowly getting back into it, starting with this game last week. I'm enjoying it, but the only real difference is that I don't get violently upset about the results anymore LOL.

    I really like the concept of this game so far, a lot different than anything I am used to for sure. Like you guys have said, I don't like how as a level 1 I'm put in a match with level 50's. But I guess I'll learn quick lol.

    Early thoughts on the game after just hitting level 10: It's decent, and I'm having more fun as it goes. I like the controls. Smooth transitions between pilot and titan.

    Complaints: The maps aren't memorable. The buildings in every map are nearly identical. The maps have no "soul" if that makes any sense. There are no maps where I say, "Oh yeah, I like this one!" or "I hate this one." They are all just "Meh." Confrontations amongst pilots, win or lose, are over in a heartbeat. Everything happens a little too fast.

    The new matchmaking helps a LOT. People don't seem to realize that it's a new game type though. When you click "Classic" there's a new option for "Improved Matchmaking (BETA)" at the bottom of the list of game types. It's going to be an attrition match but with much better matchmaking. Even if you get stuck on a lopsided match, in the lobby between matches it now shuffles the teams up to make it more fair or it'll find a better matched game for you. Thank you Respawn... Now get it out of BETA. A lot of friends were telling me it's still busted but they weren't using the new game type.

    I'm definitely getting better at the game. The other night I went 14/3/3... Everything just kind of went right.

    Try using the Origin R&D mode. It has significantly increased other people's DL speeds.

    http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/forum/threadview/2955064773334812316/

    I have successfully entered R&D mode, and deleted the file as instructed to revert back to normal Origin, so I can verify the process of doing both. I didn't see any gains so I went back.

    EDIT: Just leave the .ini file you create on your desktop. Origin will recognize it and delete it after you restart. That may not be clear on the instructions. Also, I just realized you may not be a PC gamer....so it may all be moot.

    R&D mode unlocks the potential for much higher DL speeds. You won't break anything, just probably some opened ports for faster downloading or something - dedicated bandwidth for specific personnel? I'm definitely no expert. Like I said, I tried it and reverted back to normal without any issue at all. I was reluctant to try, but with the number of people who have done it online I gave it a go.

    My DL speeds didn't increase at all (I must admit I don't have the best internet package and DLs for anything including torrents is capped at 750 kbs) but others have had well over 100% speed gain.

    I would say give it a shot if you have something to DL and simply can't put up with the time. Some people are more patient than others. Your Origin will have a visible notice stating you are in R&D mode but other than that, it is fully functional and very easy to go back to standard mode. Something you can do just for your DL processes.

    I've always had amazing speeds with Origin. I'm not a huge fan of the service, but I use it quite a bit.

    I wouldn't bother if I were you then. Just remember this as an option if you want to get that beta or release and play right away and you DL speeds are terrible and well below what you are used to.

    Featuring "Prime Time" a new song by Lincoln Park. Nice subtle touch at the end. If anyone hadn't already figured out it was an April Fools gag by then.

    I'm still playing but losing steam. Improved matchmaking helps some, but you can still get in some really lopsided matches. Nothing is worse than playing by yourself with randoms (which is me 99% of the time) and you go up against a solid team working together. All 6 of them in titans at the same time. You drop your Titan and it's surrounded on all sides and dead in 5 seconds. I'm starting to not really give a **** about the Titans. So exposed, and stuff just pelting you from all angles. It's impossible to really form much of a cohesive strategy on most maps. Just hope you can kill some **** before doomed. I see myself playing this to the first prestige and that will be about it.
