    Best memory I have in this game is getting a couple friends to use holopilot and holopilot nova the whole match. It felt like th, enemy team eventually gave up shooting pilots running in a straight line leading to some of the funniest kills.
  • In my own playtime, I had two different buddies who both wanted to 1v1 in a private match. The first fellow fell victim to a trap, where I placed my Holo stationary at a spawn point with a satchel charge under my foot. He describes it as "I walked up behind the Pilot, punched, saw the Pilot fizz out, looked down, and saw the satchel. I knew in that moment I was done." The second fellow was in a different match where we got stuck playing ring-around-the-rosie around a building. I ducked around a corner, stopped running, and held myself perfectly still. We were in a party and I heard him say "Oh yeah, that one's fake." as he proceed to run right past the actual me. Of course, I gunned him down once his back was to me and he proclaimed "I HATE HOLO!"

    I can't judge, main cloak since the game came out, I finished the game with 10 pilot kills but with 8 titans eliminated, lov your videos, keep it up
  • Die hard holo main here. Holo plays totally different from every other pilot to a massive degree and there's movement tech to make holos go and do what you want to that with every other tactical would be wasted movement. You can't quantify the value of being able to trick someone, especially when an ace holo makes use of it all the time. Man, I get massive value from holo in literally every game because there is just so much shit only us holo lads can do.

    Unironically I started using holo pilot because he looks cool. I had no idea people considered him trash lol Holo pilot supremacy.
  • @bassbusterx
    going off meta allows for so many fun combinations. Sure, car is the bullet dispenser with zero recoil that allows you to just play point and click and get kills, but something like the L-Star for example is so much fun, you get to run in, hip firing and holding that trigger down, or if you want to shoot from afar, it gets balanced by the need to lead shots, which only makes far kills more satisfying.

    My tip for Holo mains would be to pay attention to high traffic areas of the map. Do you know popular push routes or rollout routes for the start of games? Hang back a little and send your Holo through those chokepoints to distract your enemy and make them freak out. Just generally sending them into a room before you enter will reveal enemies 9 times out of ten, allowing you to strike from a blindspot. Also, tip number two: remember that your Holo can stand still. In certain situations, you can cause major confusion by placing a stationary Holo. For example, luring out snipers/campers to reveal their spot or make themselves known or pretend to be one yourself and bait greedy pilots into attempting an execution on what they assume is an unaware pilot looking down the scope of their sniper. (Though this is very situational and takes some more practice to recognise in games.)

    I've religiously used holo pilot for the past few years just because of how creative you can get with it. it keeps things fresh surviving titan ejections? checking corners? making some poor dude think he has an army approaching him? its beautiful, and I love running it with the r-97
  • @finnthehuman3751
    Hey I was that guy that killed you at 7:00 i had seen your ronin video the day before and i was like i swear I've seen that name before, it's nice to see new videos coming out now that the game is back and your editing style is great đź‘Ť
  • @XxCaptRedBeard
    Fellow holo pilot here. Holo is by far the best perk. Throwing your holo into a doorway and IMMEDIATELY running in after almost guarantees you a dub on whoever is camping the room you're going into. 10/10

    I briefly played with Holo Pilot in PvP, and I did pretty much notice that in the heat of battle most pilots will shoot at anything that moves. So yes I do think it has more use than it's given credit for. Later I switched to Pulse Blade since I can help my team even when I don't kill much (I have bad aim), and it lets me check whether or not there's enemies nearby (my situational awareness is also subpar). As for Frontier Defense, I do consider Holo Pilot a fully viable option, namely on maps with lots of infantry and ticks. Especially against EPG Stalkers that can one-shot you as soon as you turn the corner.

    One thing that I do personally to keep gameplay fresh Run dice roll as your boost It makes fights so much more enjoyable I typically play grapple, but when I get something like phase rewind, hard cover, or holo pilot nova It’s something that you’re enemies are just not expecting when they take a corner and a grapple pilot phases away, sets up an a-wall, or you shoot it only for it to be a hologram It makes gameplay feel so much more fun when you have a pocket of tricks up your sleeve that you really have to think on your feet to use effectively
  • @williamallen179
    Glad the algorithm led me here, love the editing, keep it up dawg đź‘Ť
  • Something I wish they would have done for A Wall pilots is to make them work like the IMC soldiers who have a wall deployed in the single player campaign. It should remove your ability to sprint and jump. But the wall should move with you and slowly rotate around you whenever you turn. That would make the A Wall much better and discourage camping. As it is now, the only thing the A Wall is good as is deploying it when about to open fire on a titan. Then an A Wall Pilot can melt a titan.

    Stim is my go-to. I was a fanatic of the original and got early access to TF2 from Vince Zampella because of the amount of hours I put into the original. He said 'I almost don't want to give you an early access code'. The movement in the original was always my favourite part but they slowed BH down so much that the increased Stim speed was my favourite.
  • Discovered you just the other day, glad to see another upload so soon! Great work!
  • @minussoup9183
    The tips on how to use the holograms actually helps, thanks!

    you got me to try holo and now it's my favorite
