A friend of mine is telling me the first couple of missions are supposed to be stacked against you and that once you hit level 5 or so, it gets more balanced.... Will just have to grind out the "target practice" levels to see if this holds true.
I don't really know if there's any truth in that. He probably just had some "bad luck" with matchmaking during the first matches. Obviously the system can't know everyone's skill levels if they've pretty much all just launched the game.
I have a friend that comes over to play Titanfall quite often. He has like 50k gamerscore from 360 and he has played a lot of CoD in the past, while I've never played FPS games on a console before (alot on PCs though). Despite I have far more experience in Titanfall than him, it's so easy to see how he aims so much better than me. I typically end up with better scores than him though cos I know the game much better than he does, but like said, I would probably lose every 1v1 shootout against him if we were in such situation
?
But obviously the more experience you get, the better you get. In Titanfall I think the single best tip is to go out of your way and almost AVOID just running on the street level. In Titanfall the vertical dimension is pretty much the most important when it comes to infantry gameplay. The other important tip is that try not to stop and aim around too much, KEEP MOVING! This is very related to the two earlier points, but don't just run in the first door available. Take the 2nd door window and catch the people by surprise. That's what makes camping in this game quite hard, you never know where will they come as opposed to most FPS games when the doors are typically the only options. For breaching buildings arc nades are really great cos if you hit the defending person, they won't be able to see a damn thing. That said, I guess with a frag you might've just killed em, but still
Obviously if you don't have much experience in online FPSs, you probably will get outshot for a while, but Titan-gameplay is very different. For me Titan gameplay is much stronger than infantry gameplay. It's not uncommon at all that when the round ends, I'm still in my first titan (which is also the Stryder, which is by far the lowest armored Titan, but the most mobile) and I have like 16-1. Recently I've been trying to intentionally reduce my time in a Titan so that I could get better in infantry gameplay.
Just stick at it and keep playing, when you sorta "get" a few things about the game and how it works, you might see a lot of development in yourself. It's also important to find a weapon that suits for you. I for one still have very hard time aiming at long distances with the low magnification optics. I just keep overaiming the target and I might land 0 hits by the time the target has already killed me
So for me I try to keep most encounters at short to medium ranges.
