4. Gaming Tip: You've Got A Jetpack, USE IT!
"One thing in "Titanfall" you would never want to do is take stairs. With the verticality of the game, you want to get up high. If you're going down hallways, you're just going to get shot. Someone's going to come up behind you, from the side of you, wherever. They're going to get you. Avoid stairways." - Mathew Everett: EA Community Manager, Titanfall (Source: Xbox Blog)
5. Gaming Tip: Don't Fight It Alone
"Charging in too aggressively into a fight, assuming that just because you're really good that you'll easily be able to take out more than one guy as a Titan is one of those things that isn't necessarily true. You're going to have to work as a team, you're going to have to think about what your circumstances are, what your abilities are as a Titan, what you've got as a pilot, how that's gonna play out a few steps down the road... The minute you get in there and some guys jump you, it's time to get out of there and then try and regroup and reconsolidate and relaunch your strategy." - Steve Fukuda: Game Director, Titanfall (Source: Xbox Blog)
