[@thefirehydrationunit5887]

The creature known as Homo campuis is a bipedal creature native the the planets of the frontier. These creatures are rarely ever seen due to them living in remote areas, and by using camouflage to their advantage. The Homo Campuis has been known to hunt their pray from a distance, and often when encounter up close, it will retreat into a submissive or defense state where it either runs away, or uses an amped wall for safety. Their main predator, Homo Grappuls differs from the Campuis by the way it hunts it’s pray. The Homo Grappuls will often charge its pray with unrelenting force, and will often result in Grappuls catching its pray. The Homo Grappuls is the main predator to the Homo Campuis, and have been hunting them for millions of years.

So spitfire campers are basically koala bears? Where they die of starvation because they don’t recognize eucalyptus leaves as food when it’s off the branch, and all they had to do was pick it up and eat it? Yeah that’s an accurate comparison

[@takokng5671]

Close the only difference is that the koala moves more, but some spitfire campers still eat shit like koalas. All in all pretty close assumptions.

[@ravenwarjoy]

I distinctly remember one time when I took the spitfire into my hands. For a while, I played the game as intended, running and gunning. But at some point, for no reason at all, I simply grappled up to a tall point and started raining fire in all directions while sitting completely still. This hasn't happened since, but it made me convinced - it's the weapon. It... speaks to you. It whispers dark things. And while some can resist it's temptation for some time, but not everyone, and not all the time.

I used a spitfire once back in the day when I was like G2 (or G3) Cus There was someone else with a spitfire on the enemy team (If I remember correctly) And I never touched it again after that.

Once, someone sitting still with a kraber called me a spitfire camper. I was moving around the entire map with the thing, how the fuck--

[@jimmyshak8915]

This is all true. But sadly "good" players who know the game and the movement that use the spitfire sadly get grouped into this category you speak of. The spitfire is extremely good at mid to long range. But in my honest opinion, it is just not viable at close range. I lose so many gun fights up close with the spit that is has brought me to believe it's more balanced then it may seem. But this is of course if the spit is being used by a player that actually moves.

I used to play around with the spitfire just only the sound. Usually i just run around as cloak pilot dropkicking people rather than camping because staying in one spot it's going to get you killed all the time without learning anything.

[@alexrva433]

You know, I always wondered...is it a bad thing to use the A-Wall for its intended purpose? I've considered "alternative strategies" for it such as to give titans an amplifier for their damage should a titan-eye-height cover be present, or putting it in front of a turret and going on with my day, or even putting it in a doorway and firing a Devotion at the crit zones of a titan, but I've never wanted to just...sit there with an A-Wall and a Devotion and start shooting people as that feels cheap, even though that's the intended purpose of the A-Wall as far as I'm concerned.

The Psychology of A-Wall campers especially Spitfire campers is because the combination is...effective? 2 shot and you're killing someone without even giving them a chance to fight back. You also need an extra effort to counter them when the wall is still active which is annoying, my lad often call those campers "Little Tone" lol.

An A-wall enthusiast here. Don't always camp, but sometimes do - proudly so. Reasons? Multiple ones. For once, i'm not good at moving and aiming simultaneously. I tend to perform better when i completely remove my left hand from keyboard and devote 99% of my brain power to just aiming via mouse. 1% is left for essential needs like breathing (could be rerouted too?) Two: i have a natural inclination for heavy "firepower at the cost of speed" characters no matter the game. This also has aesthetic element to it, for i also prefer simply larger characters - a criteria A-wall man fits perfectly. Three: sometimes i'm just lazy and can't be bothered. I just relax, forget that "shift" button exists and just casually stroll my way to the objective. This actually helps too, because in this relaxed state i find it easier to spot and react to moving targets that appear in my FoV. Could be some form of ADHD. That being said i do acknowledge that this isn't a particularly virtuous mode of existence, so i try to not abuse A-wall too much, sometimes going entire matches without using it or exclusively using as a self-defense mechanism, only deploying when already under heavy fire. Which more often than not results in me dying before A-wall touches the ground. But when it does work and i kill the offender as he struggles to finish off my last 1% of HP - boy does it feel good.

[@GreenNinja-]

I personally think that the Spitfire is like a fungus, as you mentioned, but like the fungus Ophio Cordyceps, it only affects a specific order of pilots, that being the order that includes Cloak and A-Wall pilots. It gets into there system via spores and it takes over their brains, then (like Ophio Cordyceps) it forces the pilot to look for an area with the perfect conditions

Hi. I am a Scorch main. I've never used anything else other than Scorch in all the time that I played Titanfall 2, so I'm even unable to easily learn other titan's powers buttons. I played a little of Legion for FD, and sometimes picked NorthStar, but I can do not that much, even compared to just using Scorch. Idk why it is, but it would be interesting to know. Maybe you can do a video with this style about those who "main" either just one titan or one precise playstyle.

There is an old russian saying - the grave will fix the hunchback. As soon as I spot any sort of camper on a level I take it as my personal responsibility to deliver them to the grave with my titan, my frag grenades, my firestar and my mobility. Practice shows that when spitfire camper is met with circumstances when they don't have enough time to set the camp, they will either leave their camp or leave the server. If they leave the camp, just find the next camp using the audio cues of spitfire gunshots and repeat until the spitfire camper leaves the server or is forced to choose other tactics. To be honest, I have TF2 on two platforms but played almost exclusively on PC and on European servers. I didn't have problems with these species, and found them rare. But whenever I want to have fun at the cost of others being angry, I prefer cloak/DMR with 3 sentry turrets, which is especially fun on maps like new colony, forward base kodai and, of course, angel city, with some high points suitable for spreading cancer all around the map from high rooftops suitable for sentry turret placement. I find Spitfire to be inferior to DMR in this way, especially with DMR's ability to grind through titans and kill pilots across the map in one or two hits. Pilots, as soon as you find yourself on the server with spitfire or any other sort of camper, be sure to deliver your foot straight to their face with high velocity and melee autoaim precision. The hunt is on.
