Even on console I'm having fun, even if I feel like I'm constantly battling the hot garbage controls.
The increased variety in power ups is nice.
The fact that you don't start with the shotgun, that it costs 500 to unlock, and after two matches I have 11 currency bodes ill.
Wish they would have put in the standard game mode from 1 as I don't like any of the 3 they have availabe right now.

Shotgun costs 500 space dollars if you want it before level 11, which is when it just unlocks. I'm guessing the "costs money" thing is a post-Prestige thing so people can save and then spend their money on an item they want ASAP after they reset to zero.

That makes more sense, I thought it was get level 11 and then spend 500 space dollars.
Not a fan of unlocks in general but that is a bit better.
Started off kinda lukewarm on it. Felt a lot like what I played of the first game except it feels like it takes forever to get a titan now which kinda sucks.
And then I equipped the grappling hook. Holy shit that thing is fun. I accidentally mid-air hooked onto an enemy and reeled in and booted him to death and it felt so damn good.
the grappling hook really does feel brilliant in how it can either work as just a straight pull or a speed boosting swing depending on your momentum. Reasonably intuitive for the basics, but feels like there's a huge skill ceiling with it
Man I haven't been able to get the hook to work for me at all, maybe I'm targetting stuff that is too far away? I feel like there is too much slack in the line.
Not sure if I like the titan drop change either, I wish it built up naturally overtime like before. I think you only get titan meter for doing well now, which I think is contributing to why every match I've been in so far have been total one sided blowouts.
I'm worried this will be unplayability on my parents INTERNET

I've played a couple of matches so far and am really liking it, finding the mobility a little awkward so far though I don't know if it's rust or what. I like that every gun is effectively tracer rounds, it not only looks cooler but helps identify where the hell you're being shot from.
Also kinda bummed that they made titans so rare. I think until I get my legs back I'm gonna stick to amped hardpoint cause man does contributing like 10 bucks to the bounty feel bad.

I spend most of bounty by myself mowing down grunts in a corner.

It wins the match but its pretty boring.
Yeah. I didn't care much for bounty hunt since it kind of amplifies the things I didn't like about the first game.
Hardpoint seems more up my alley but there is too much rage quitting there atm.
Ion's shield is less cool than the original right now, but it's because in this test the titans you're up against don't really dish out much ballistics to catch
Also I think there is toooooo much going on now mechanics wise?
And where it the ability to grab bullets and throw them back at people in titan!
Ion has that ability I believe, whereas Scorch's shield burns the bullets and can hurt people.
Map design seems a lot less tight. Not a lot of Parkouring you can do in fields, so having grunts spawn out there in bounty hunt is awful.
I wonder if bunny hopping is still in the game, no way I am good enough with a controller to check myself though, would make the wide open areas more fun though.

So they had a server update to fix the spawn rate for titans in amped hardpoint saying it was way too low.
They weren't kidding, it's like a night and day difference.

But I do not have a handle on the grappling hook yet, and also goddamnit where's my shotgun
I have to use automatic rifles like a chump

Plus I dunno how to edit it back.
Nevermind it is public now. It is called singularity engine.
Also I don't think you need to do well to get a titan it just takes longer now.
Also they aren't hard to kill with teamwork, it only takes a few rodeos to kill one.
The problem is people keep leaving matches early because they don't want to lose even though you can totally comeback.
I don't know if it will be done tonight.
Now when you get in your titan, or execute someone, it goes third person which is so much less frenetic and visceral than staying in first person.
When a bunch of Titans are skirmishing, run around the battlefield, grab/steal batteries and give them to your robo-buddies.

the new bounty gamemode looks neat, but sometimes I just want to play the team deathmatch shooter variety of it
the multiplayer tests are limiting the game types, there will likely be other modes in the full release
PSN: Robo_Wizard1
Yeah. At least I sure hope so. Don't like any of the current modes very much.

Haven't unlocked stim yet but the hologram is fun. Makes running into enemy held positions pretty trivial.

I do miss having the MLG Launcher for fighting titans, though.

working ok for me right now, though I haven't tried to invite. They did just do a reboot to fix some stuff and make some changes.
booo, level maxes out at 10 for the test. I want to try the shotgun!

A couple times I thought I fixed it by changing data centers, but now no dice.

That makes sense, I think I saw a single titan the entire match in the one amped hardpoint I played, despite our side doing pretty well!
Which is fine by me, I played like 15 hours of the beta for the original game and as a result, barely played the final version
