It isn't just you. The game does use a grainy overlay that some horror genre games use. Why Respawn chose to do this is beyond frustrating. The first Titanfall never used this technique and looked much sharper.

Supposedly in the next patch they will offer a way to disable the grainy overlay in the video options.
Knew I wasn't the only one. It's so ugly at least if you are going to put that in make it an option. On big monitors and larger resolutions it makes the game look like crap. The first Titan fall looked a lot sharper, I agree. Glad to hear they will offer it in the next patch.

Beginning to think i made a mistake buying this game. Game play is way too fast for me. Forget using a titan. Mine dies in like 5 seconds

I think I have most Titans unlocked. Key to the Titan is strafe and use space bar to dash back, forward, side to side. I also unlocked the nuclear ejection which kills anything it it's vicinity when your core is almost done and you are about to die, just eject.

IV been using ion mostly but I also like the Titan with the explosive grenades. I don't get a lot of kills but I do end up getting a decent score even if I only killed like 3 pilots.

How is the single player campaign in this? Is the game worth it for SP?

the mp in this game is complete BS.
i've played 1 game so far where my team won. every game 1 team completely dominates the other team. the enemy team always has like 18 pilot kills vs like 5 at most for my team.
it seems like its full of cheaters or the balance/matchmaking is so bad that putting new players with high level players who have everything unlocked and have better weapons/gear just dominate.

That happens sometimes but I was just playing a match on a team where we won 2 and lost a third game. The Ronin Titans are quick and their swords are ridiculous. I've been using legion mostly but he takes forever to shoot.

Try the pilot with the support machine gun I found while it sprays less bullets than the assault gun, it does pack a heavier punch so it's easier to take people down. Realized this when I was getting killed so many times by other pilots.

What game mode do you play? I play attrition because none of the other modes have any players.
Also what gear do you use?

I also play attrition for the same reason. For gear I use pilot 1 and pilot 3 with the default primary weapons, extra ammo, and holographic site. For the anti titan I use the mag grenade launcher and for Titans I switch between ion and legion. Takes a while to get used to each titan and their abilities so I didn't bother with all of them.

In the first game I could easily explore all Titans and pick a favorite but in this game it seems harder to do that.

Yeah, I gave up on MP because of this too.

It also seems like there is much less "minion" spawns overall as well.

All I can say is that people like grinding, and the titanfall 2 people gave it to them. Like, while there are definitely impressive moments in the campaign, the MP feels like a gift to the hardcore.

I always find minion spawns everywhere I go. I rarely find pilots to kill but when I do and I get a good streak going it's nice. I also don't like how the unlocks are in this game. Seems like you need credits to get the better guns and titan load outs are not as powerful as the previous game.

I think in the first game your Titan's guns got attributes added to them as you went along, the weapons seemed to get stronger.

I also didn't think it was possible to make it faster paced than Titanfall 1 but they made it happen.

Yeah, progressions is super slow. I get like 2 credits per game, except the one where my team won, i think i got maybe 4 or 6.
I do find myself running around a lot and not seeing any enemies for awhile, both players and ai.

Seems no one even noticed this game. I actually didn't even know it was out for a while. I ignored the first game because the whole concept looked lame to me. Anyway, is this game dead already?

I think the MP is still going strong. While it's tough to find players for modes other than Attrition, I never have an issue getting Attrition match, at times faster than COD: AW.
I find the MP to be fast paced and can be annoyingly frustrating at time, but I finally got the hang of it. I definitely prefer it to COD: IW for now.

If there's only a few thousand players online, then the game is dead. Rocketleague has 100,000 players online. That's a healthy game.

I went and customized all mine so have no idea what the defaults are any more.

Give the game some time. When I first started my Titans were getting killed quickly. A good Ronin (the fast one) can still take me down quickly. I use Tone now. Make sure you use the dash to get out of damage and also you have to use your defense. Takes awhile to get the hang of it.

My favorite weapon is the Flatline. More damage than the default gun (R-201) and still very accurate. It's sideways kick is not too bad.

My favorite anti-titan is the Archer. Lock on is a nice feature. However, I am going to experiment with other anti-Titans today. When I am Titan I seem to get attacked by Thermite more frequently now.

My favorite ability is cloak. Cloak is key for attacking Titans as a pilot.

My favorite ordinance is the electric smoke. Covers a good field, prohibits visibility, and kills pretty quickly. I'm surprised more people don't use it.

My favorite Titan is Tone. My perk is starting with 30% core because the core ability is very deadly.

Good idea on the electric smoke and cloak. Not sure if I have that yet. Tone is good but I've also been using legion. I'll have to experiment with the load outs some more. So far I've been using the mgl anti titan and doing good with it.

Played some attrition last night. Yeah, it feels about right.

I still think the MP campaign in titanfall 1 was ingenious. I would rather have another mp campaign like that than the standalone campaign we got here.

Overall, titanfall 1 is still better. I just wish they had the guts to stick to their convictions.

Never knew they came out with a campaign for multiplayer for Titanfall 1. I stopped playing it after some time when it began dying down.

I absolutely hated Titanfall one. I don't play much MP at all, and infact I generally try to avoid it at all times because I hate people, but I bought Titanfall on sale because I was promised a SP campaign... and I got that MP shit. Wish I could have my money back.

I bought Titanfall 2 because it was given a real SP campaign. And so far, I'm enjoying it.

What made titanfall 1 campaign so brilliant was it gave a story context for a MP match. And you got to feel the swings of emotion during an MO match.

Writing was better too.

I don't play MP. Got no use for it. Not interested in it.
