After you rodeo and remove the battery, you can rodeo again and you'll drop a grenade into the battery chamber.

I've found it to generally not be worth the risk. once you pull the battery, you're lit up like a christmas tree with a glowing green trail on your back, you also appear on the hud of the titan you stole from. If you are playing with a friend, you could get them to do the second rodeo for the distraction maybe?

Quick tip I've found very useful, if you are rodeo'd and have an electric smoke, pop it and then make sure to crouch. This almost always results in the attacker getting killed by the smoke.


Also -scream for help like a little girl. it can be quite funny, it looks like your titan got some food stuck in its throat and everyone else is slapping it on the back to free up the obstruction.

I've been playing this completely wrong! Thanks for the tips

I've had a bit of success with the MGL. Obviously most effective when you're in the relative safety of a nearby building or assisting one of your team's Titans. It can take a while, but certainly possible to do enough damage to knock it into doomed status if you play your cards right.

Definitely much more reluctant to rodeo in TF2 compared to TF1. As handy as a battery can be, just feels like the risk is much greater for less of a reward than you got in the first game. Still occasions when it's definitely worth it, but it's gone from my primary anti-titan strategy to an occasional afterthought.

I wouldnt be surprised to see a nerf to the MLG, its very easy to stand back and spam it over rooftops coupled with amped weapons and increased ammuntion, it seems to have big enough splash damage to the point that it affects groups of titans, and also catches those smaller titan like robots (reapers?)

A quick aside - has anyone managed to get the achievement for killing 3 enemies while sliding?

I had a prime checkpoint last night in the campaign with an opportunity but no matter how many times i did it, it wouldnt pop - is it a multiplayer achievement?

Finished the single player campaign was rather excellent, first single player fps since bioshock infinite I actually finished.
Multiplayer too is excellent, well worth €22

I've wiped out plenty of titans with the Charge Rifle (helps of they've lost some health already though!). After you level it up a few levels you get an upgrade for an instant shot but with less damage.
You can fire lots of shots very quick and duck in and out of cover, great against medium range titans. Aim for the shiny parts for higher damage and throw a personal shield into the mix which will amp your shots too.

Agreed. Would rate this as one of the best, if not the best, FPS campaign I have ever played. Excellent. The multiplayer is top notch as well, so quick paced (although I suck at being a Titan).

Got this and Battlefield 1 at the same time and, in my humble opinion, this game outperforms BF1 in every department. Shame about the sales:(

DLC coming Nov 30th, as promised all DLC will be free.

I like the fact that the new store will be cosmetic only and no loot boxes, it seems that they really care about what fans want and not bleeding them dry with pay to win crap.

They probably learned a lot from watching Rainbow 6 over at Ubisoft.

For the last year Rainbow 6 has built a large community from scratch. The strategy - selling cosmetic items, giving all DLC maps and additional characters away for free. They also sold a season pass which basically bundled lots of cosmetic gear and 1 week early access to newly released characters.

They have announced that year 2 for Rainbow 6 will follow on with free DLC. I hope many other developers are taking note.

I'm done with season passes myself. I did shell out for the deluxe edition of gears and have a small bit of buyers remorse on that one as I'm not playing it as much as I thought I would, but the days of me immediately coughing up 45 to 50 quid for a blind buy on map packs is gone.

On the flipside I was quite happy to buy Halo 5 twice (digital and physical), as the content is good, and the packs are completely optional. This COD nonsense of hiding weapons / upgraded variants in random drops is a joke.

New just broke that Titanfall 2 - sold 385,499 units first week at retail
That's across 3 platforms
Doesn't account for digital sales but still that's very low
Compare that to Titanfall 1 sold 400k+ in it's first week on Xbox alone
Nonsense from EA

They launched at an awful time though. Why they did not delay it a bit

Dcully

I think its more to do with a shockingly poor marketing strategy than timing but ofcourse the timing didn't help.

I really hope they sell a lot more for the sake of the game the devs and the series.
It would be a shame to lose a potential titanfall 3.
Such a great game, fantastic campaign and absolutely action packed multiplayer.

Looks like it's going to be in sale a lot over black Friday/cyber Monday so hopefully that will help with word of mouth too. Let's hope it does a rainbow 6
