Lol... you're ridiculous.
And it should be ", jagoff". You forgot the comma... it matters.

Back to the update.
Don't much care for it.
Seems like they made Ronin the best damn titan now by reducing the melee on the others. I'm not even a Ronin player and I was amazed how fast I could destroy a Scorch/Legion with a couple of Arc Waves, Smoke and the Sword Spam into an execution.
They nerfed a bunch of weapons, including the EVA and Archer.
Glitch map is decent.

Well, I didn't know that. It was very coincidental. And, with all the ribbing I took it seemed appropriate. And, with all the explanations, clearly 3D. I'm sorry Rob. My bad.

Now is a great time to jump back into Titanfall 2! They just added the huge free update that added the horde mode. It's also on sale this week at Best Buy. $16 w/ GCU for the deluxe and regular versions. EA access also added it to the vault. After taking some time off, it's a blast jumping back in.

I almost regret trading my copy in....I'd play just for that Horde Mode. That one mission where you and several other Titans have to storm the fort. I played that over and over....that one was a blast to play.

I just wrapped up the SP and the MP is a blast... it's everything Infinite Warfare wanted to be. I had no idea an update was out.

Yeah the Frontier Defense (Horde mode) is pretty damn awesome with its 4 difficulty levels and numerous Titan upgrades. Definitely loving it more than the standard MP.

Played last night... it was a blast. Since I only played one (interrupted by dinner) round, do you get to keep the cash you earn from one game to the next?

Just a heads up, that this went on sale today on PSN for $11.99 for Plus members. I can't recommend the game enough, especially at that price. Keep in mind that all the DLC is free (including the kick ass expansion that just came out), so you get everything for that price. This is one of the few games I wish I bought digitally so I could play it more often without switching out discs.

Fingers crossed that it'll work out better for Respawn than...errrr, nearly every other studio EA has acquired, ever.

A little glad I didn't end up going to work for Respawn a few years back
It's weird, the creators of Respawn left EA years ago because they hated it to form Infinity Ward, got bought by Activision, had obvious issues there and left to form Respawn, only to sell back to EA.

I've never heard anyone call the COD campaigns crazy. I've played 3 or 4 of them and other then the production values they are generic. The Titanfall 2 campaign blows them out of the water.

Re: Titanfall 2 (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
So Titanfall 2 is still on sale for $6 on PSN, and I just beat it, so I figured I'd give my 2 cents (single player only):
It's short. 5-7 hours short
Some of the wall & double jumping sections can get weird. The part that "sticks" you to a wall when you run on it can stick you in weird places, and it's not always clear what jumping/double jumping will do
For the first half of the game, it's probably 75% run on foot, and 25% mech fights
It's weird, though that part of the game, when you finally do get your mech back, you're like "YAH!" and then that part is over pretty fast and it's a bummer. But then when you get to the end of the game, they focus on the mech more, and for me it got to be "meh, I guess I see now why they kept the mech parts short"
There are a number of different weapons for the mech, that you can switch out whenever, but it never really felt like you NEEDED to. I just used the quad rocket launcher the whole time.
Didn't like you could only carry 2 guns in the on foot parts. One time through the whole game I found a grenade launcher. I dug it a lot, but somehow accidentally switched it for another weapon, and never saw the opportunity to pick it up again.
I probably would have like this more if it was 75% mech fights, and they spent a lot more time on the mech mechanics. Jumping would have been nice. One gun kit lets you hover shortly, and thats a start, but for the most part, your mech feels glued to the ground.
Overall, I still liked it and would recommend the single player experience for $6. The ending was very lackluster, though. I played on normal, but switched to easy for 2 boss fights. Probably could have beat those on normal, but I just didn't have the persistence.
(strangely enough the whole "jumping out of the mech to have my guy gun through corridors" bit gave me serious NES Blaster Master flashbacks, in a good way!)

Wow.... looks like this game isn't dead yet. I'm still able to find matches, especially Frontier Defense ones.
