TitanFall Open Beta Impressions

I find that for most FPS games I've played, anything below 300 ping is fine.

Side question.

Ordance: Salvos, or Slaves? I swear by the former, but my brother is a Slaves-or-nothing kinda' person.

Yes I play with 200 odd ping and don't get any lag whatsoever

I haven't played the game, but I'd go with salvos. You're on a PC so unless you're completely incompetent your aim should be fine anyway and you don't have to wait for lock-on.

Salvos have an annoying spiral firing pattern though so even if you aim they hit NOTHING.

Well that's stupid, what's the advantage then?

Better against clustered targets I think, or to just make a screen of missiles to distract the opposing titan

The gameplay I've seen may have mislead me...

Maybe I'm just spoiled with my Dutch internet. Anyway, back on topic, I hear this game has more movement than wasd so I might try it, if I can get in.

It has a whole bunch of wall bouncy climbey funtime.

I prefer Salvo, since I can also aim them at the ground and wipe out a big troop of enemy AI fast. Or shoot them into a building to clear out the enemy pilots.

This is why I choose dumbfire weapons in other games, but Mr. kvalheim says it sprays like a faulty garden hose.

Are you in the PC Beta Geers?

No, I'm just trying to judge from gameplay and what other people are saying.

Check your inbox, sent you a spare PC code Origin sent me, you redeem it on the Origin program.
Make it count, I think today is the last day.

Gun on gun is where it's at. Too bad the demo doesn't have any infantry only game modes.

It's CoD with Mechs. Not much more to say.

It's sorta but not really. It definitely has a CoD feel to the gameplay, but the wallrunning feels very fluid and has definitely taken notes from Mirror's Edge.
@thebigpill the beta ends today I think.

Actually the free running is more akin to Brink, imo. The beta end tonight at 6pm PST/9pm EST.

My biggest gripe is not a single guns has any recoil and a jump kick (or Titan melee) can one shot a fully armored player.

I didn't play much Brink. My brother bought it but it felt pretty slow and sluggish.
