Are you sure about that? I used the smoke screen almost exclusively in Beta to stop from getting rodeod. I never noticed my health dropping and that's with the tendency to just sit in my own cloud waiting for the kill notification.

I think one of the things that stripped a lot of the skill out of FPS games is an over reliance on iron sight shooting. It's really hard to have quick, agile movement when you have to stare down the barrel of your gun and slow down. I kind of wish it would go away as the default mechanic for the big shooters unless…

"press x to win war" Hah! Awesome, and kind of were we are at with a lot of games now. Thanks for the chuckle.

Oh, it wasn't intended to be relativistic! Sorry if I conveyed that.

Why? Because it isn't the games we grew up with? We all gotta start somewhere.

Yesssssssss! There's too much "i don't want to be rude" and "let them down easy" goin' on everywhere. I used to hate that shit when I was part of the dating scene. Got me in trouble for being too straight forward (or blunt, or a jerk, depending on the speaker), but holey moley it was so much easier on everyone in…

This is total crap. Devalue the accomplishment of leveling? There is no accomplishment - just time spent. You didn't struggle and overcome anything, you weren't challenged to learn something new. You pressed a key rotation for 10 days.

The runways are weirdly sticky in Second Assault. If you taxi off to the side you'll take off just fine.

She's not in the show yet.

Can you just call "dibs" on shit as the match is loading? I would actually call that the faux pas, unless you are playing with friends and the best driver called it.

This article didn't make any sense to me at all! I'm woefully unprepared to ever talk about or know anything about sports, anywhere, ever. But that made it strangely fun to read. It was like this magical land of weird knowledge just over the horizon. It's probably how my wife feels when my friends and I talk…

Yes! That would be grand.

Yeah! I'm not disagreeing with you, and I understand where you are coming from. I think it's a rule that should occasionally be broken though, and I'm gently urging you to do so because I want everyone to play Titanfall. I might like the game a bit.

It can be wicked disorienting at first. I remember playing my first FPS games and getting so frustrated at not knowing what was happening ever.

I hear yah. I still play my Genesis and Snes as well. It just seems to me that with something like Titanfall with its inevitable sequels and other games "replacing" it in the MP space is a good candidate to not follow that rule vehemently. On fact many console MP game I would argue should fall outside of that assuming…

This! Personal value should be the deciding factor. Although your logic is odd to me. I'll play the crap out of Titanfall, but will I be playing it in 3 years? No, probably not. And it's the same with almost all my games. So wouldn't the evaluation of hours to dollars be better to use in a situation like this rather…

You know, I actually died in BF4 the other day because I had my knife out. I think there is a swipe...? Or a glitch.

At the risk of stating an opinion, those weird ass DC variant figures are terrible.

That's a skill thing though. Once you've learned a game and it's maps you can quickly figure out where you are getting shot from. I agree, it's disorienting at first, but the longer you play the less disorienting it becomes until it's eventually a non issue, and you can in fact use the onscreen UI to know exactly…
