New game modes won't require DLC.
Double XP coming, but possibly the most useless thing ever for this game.
Gooser will get nerfed. Hopefully the Gen 8 and 9 win and MVP challenges will too.

^ Fucking awesome. I'll probably finish gooser right as it gets nerfed lol. I don't mind MVP, the only other one I was worried about was rodeo kills.

I have no problem destroying kids who use it.

I rarely get killed by it.

Private Match coming, ah yeah!

Dago and I will have to get a team together.

Most people seem to use it as a crutch and attempt head on attacks. I went a parkour/stealth route and was constantly behind people. Only thing that really got me killed was unfortunate timing in people coming around corners or an itchy trigger finger.



It just doesn't line up with the other challenges. Gooser/rodeo/weapons force you to attempt different play styles. Wins and MVP (especially 100 and 50) are nothing but grinding.

Well the Goose/Rodeo are both just extremely difficult challenges for multiple reasons. Pilots do not always eject and half the time they are invisible, making it damn near impossible to shoot them out in a blue sky. Rodeo is a monumental pain because of other titans, if you get a titan alone you have a good chance of being able to pull this off. Mostly it's only going to effective against auto-titans as most pilots are not mentally handicapped .

Check out some videos on it. One explains how to use the jet stream left by a clocked pilot when they eject to find them. Popular method for rodeo kills is dropping satchel charges on them. If it doesn't one hit the Titan, it will kill the pilot as they jump out and leave a damaged auto Titan for an easy kill. Even without these being required for me to gen, I started using the methods and picking up kills.

Doesn't always work. You can make it so stream doesn't show up and depending on the map and background, it's still hard to see the stream sometimes. The satchel ability works, I just don't like being that big of a dick lol. I just hate rodeo. the ejecting challenge should be fine now that I have my chain back.

I don't see it as being a dick. It's one of the only effective uses of ordnance. Grenades are garbage with how quick people can move unless you're using a smart pistol. Mines are only useful when I have the unlimited burn card and bait people into doorways, which I consider a dick move.
