00:03Hello UK, I'm Jessica Chobot, and on this For The Win, we get tips on how to succeed at Titanfall
00:08from the team here at the Respawn Entertainment Studio in Los Angeles.
00:17So being that you're the grand poobah of this place and the game is right around the corner, what are
00:22some tips for people at home?
00:24I like to go with, don't die, kill a lot.
00:28I like where your head's at.
00:29I watch people play all the time. Everybody wants to play like they're playing a very linear shooter and they
00:35will like duck behind things for cover and then pop out and like shoot a guy and then pop back
00:38and you just want to get up on the walls and moving and experimenting with that as soon as possible.
00:44Instead of thinking about slicing the pie around a corner and trying to see what's around that corner, just think
00:48vertical and just go over everything.
00:50Another key tip is actually when you're fighting the Titan, you need to really think more in terms of not
00:54just charging in and you have to think more in terms of a measured approach of attacking and protecting yourself.
01:01If somebody is rodeoing you, which is when they jump on your back and start ripping stuff off your Titan,
01:06there's all these sort of tactics for getting rid of players on your back.
01:09If you jump up and just jump, kick the guy off, that's pretty satisfying.
01:11If you're a pilot, is there any specific gun that you recommend for a pilot to pick up in order
01:16to take down the Titan?
01:17If you want to take advantage of the chaos, you'd want to take the Archer heavy rocket.
01:21It's something that locks on from a distance. Once you have a lock, it's going to go after the guy.
01:25If you want to get a little more risky about it, you want to move in close to the Titan,
01:29you can pull out the sidewinder and the sidewinder will allow you to fire a lot of small rockets very
01:33quickly at the Titan.
01:34But you have to have a direct line of sight, there's a bit of travel time, so you've got to
01:37lead substantially. The closer you get, the less you have to lead, but the more likely you might get stepped
01:42on or spotted by that type.
01:44As a guy running around on foot on the ground, you want to probably try the smart pistol first, get
01:49a sense of how that works.
01:50It's a primary pistol that will auto-lock onto targets. You can walk into a room of like five guns.
01:56You can try different experiments, like running on the walls and locking onto people as you shoot them, or sailing
02:00through the air and aiming down at them.
02:02Lock, lock, lock. Bang. Da-da-da-da-da-da. They all go down.
02:06Nice.
02:06So there's cool tricks you can play with the smart pistol. It's a different kind of.
02:09So what's the quickest way to level up?
02:11The quickest way to level up, in this particular case, a weapon, is to go after the AI in the
02:16environment.
02:17And when you're doing that, you're more visible with a loud gun, so you're going to want to also not
02:23only go after them, but try to find the quickest way to level up that weapon to a silencer so
02:27you can stay off the radar and still go after that AI.
02:30So what's the difference between a grunt and a specter?
02:33So grunts are sort of just military-looking guys that you'll see running around the level.
02:37I like to use them, especially when you're playing hard points, to walk in ahead of me so that whoever's
02:42ever waiting for people to come into the hard point will shoot them and then I'll take him out as
02:46he shoots them.
02:46We do have these human-sized robots called specters, and they are AI-controlled, and they're a step up from
02:52the normal grunts.
02:53They have different mobility, they can jump on top of buildings, they're harder to kill, and they have more advanced
02:59weaponry.
03:00You'll see them trying to take down Titans.
03:01They move in packs, but since they're robots, they're hackable.
03:04So the data knife is you slam it in the back of their head, and you'll reprogram them so that
03:09they will then fight for you.
03:10Well, one of the things that's kind of an advanced move that we don't teach too much is what we
03:15call the wall hang.
03:16As a pilot, when you're wall running, you can hold left trigger and slam your knife into the wall, and
03:21you'll hang there, kind of like Spider-Man.
03:23And so it's really good to run into a room if someone's chasing you, jump up above the door you
03:26just came through, hang down, and rain down death on the guy who's trying to chase on you.
03:30If you're hurting for health and you all of a sudden find yourself in a room of specters, it might
03:34not go very well for you.
03:35Especially if you get melee'd by the AI, because that is really scary.
03:39I was going to say, is it more of an insult than the injury itself?
03:42Pretty humiliating. The only thing more humiliating is if someone drops a Titan on you.
03:46Oh, you can do that? How detailed can you get with that drop? Because I thought it was just a
03:50drop in general.
03:51There is a pretty decent amount of control you have over it. It's where you're looking on the ground and
03:55where you're looking where you want to do it.
03:56So it is a thing you do on purpose. The higher levels of play, it's definitely a tactic to be
04:01used.
04:02So you can try to lure people in by sort of standing there and shooting and hoping they walk over
04:07to come get you, and then landing the Titan on them.
04:09Sometimes it happens by happy accident. Or if you see a big Titan fight going down in the middle of
04:14the street, you might run over to where you go.
04:15where that's happening and try to call your Titan down on top of it. So yeah, there's some dirty tricks
04:20you can play.
04:21So that's got to be an achievement.
04:24I mean, come on.
04:25It's so mean.
04:26It is about the most satisfying thing that you can do in the game.
04:28That's awesome.
04:29Where are you?
04:36I don't know what you did here.
04:37You all know in the game?
04:37It's so fun.
04:37I love you.
04:37You are the best.
04:39I love you, I love you.
04:40I love you.
04:40I love you.
04:41I love you.
04:41Grazie a tutti
