1. Titanfall (2) is like Call of Duty on a half a dozen energy drinks. Time to kill is very short. So there aren't any real "gunfights". So the game is about movement and positioning so that you can take out your opponent before the realize you're there and can respond. Destiny"s PVP especially gets you into a lot of bad habits, and generally slows down your decision making. It took me almost 2 weeks to get my Titanfall "chops" back because of playing in the Crucible. 2. Every Titanfall map has basically three layers because of the augmented mobility. New players run around on the ground and occasionally jump. Playing it like a conventional shooter. That's the "ground layer". Better players play from elevated windows and rooftops, and know the traffic patterns of the map well enough to feed off of the new player's habits. That's the "middle layer". The best players play almost exclusively in the air and from rooftops. They have mastered the mobility to the point where they can move around the map flanking and ambushing the better players playing from the rooftops. That's the "top layer". 3. Stay in MOTION. Pilots can move so fast...and the augmented mobility allows them the ability to attack you from any where in three dimensions. SO CAMPERS GET WRECKED....and anyone who tries to rely on "map control' and forcing other players through choke points is also going to struggle. Titanfall is a game of movement and flanking. 4. If you're a new player......and new to this kind of play....you have to work UP to taking on other human players. Because they will just wreck you at first. Especially when you have two levels of better players just picking you off from above while you're running around on the ground. Start off playing Attrition, and focus on farming the AI opponents. You'll help your team...and your own confidence while you learn to get around the map with the augmented mobility....and you learn the map layout. Once you start to learn the traffic patterns....and at least master the movement system so you have access to that "middle layer"....then start thinking about taking on other players. 5. Titans are like tanks (in real warfare). They LOOK powerful....but they are actually VERY vulnerable when they are by themselves. But ARE very powerful when working together as a group. Multiple titans working together can make short work of other titans....and can provide mutual support against being rodeoed (a pilot hopping onto your back) , or taking harassment fire from windows and rooftops from anti-titan weapons. Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the input! I'll be sure to take this into mind when I'm playing.

  • Destiny's TTK is so slow that it's wish to force us to have "interesting gun fights" actually winds up forgiving a lot of really bad play habits. Because the better player can shoot his or her way out of a lot of mental mistakes. That shot won't fly in Titanfall or Titanfall 2. If you make a mental mistake? Odds are you're just going to DIE. Because the game is so fast moving, and the TTK so fast, that you like won't get a chance to fight your way out of that mistake.
