Same but I use the re also A wall goes really well with this and I cannot run the softball without the hover kit also have an alt loaout that’s the grapple with the hover kit and that one is a beast
I feel like it's worth mentioning that the Softball's projectiles, unlike the EPG's, carry your forward momentum with them, meaning they travel faster if you're also going fast. This can make the weapon feel very inconsistent it you're unaware of it, since you need to lead your shots differently depending on your movement speed. And even being aware of that fact, I still think it makes the weapon very awkward to hit shots consistently with.
Oh damn, I'm so used to demoman tf2 that I thought something just felt off - time to use my many hours in WarThunder to allow my soft balls to aim true.
I used to be a softball main before the TF servers died (im a console exclusive player if possible) i remember hitting mid air directs back to back like nothing, and now i suck, this weapon is awesome but can feel like a full time job, even though im late, this is a fantastic guide, as the softball is surprisingly versatile, great work, even years later.
for reference this is helping me with using the softball now 3 years later so thank you sober biscuit for the guide first game I took it out on got 11 kills 9 from the softball so thank you.
I love this kind of content! Unbiased tips and lessons for games I like to play. I think I speak for most of us when I say, good job! Don’t feel pressured to make more videos like this, but I think it would be widely appreciated.
I have a basic Xbox controller but I remapped the controls (jumping: LB sliding: RB) and the difference it's amazing, i recommend everyone to try this setup!
Well it's true that good movement is hard on a controller but that applies to your opponents as well, so in a wiered way I think that granedier weapons are balanced throughout all platforms, or at least this is what think after having played both on consoles and pc
It’s not too hard if you have a custom button layout (I’ve managed to perfect one that works for me and allows me to do anything an m&k player can do in titanfall)
My personal loadout has been stim, softball, the auto pistol, thunderbolt, and the arc grenade I definitely try to keep the high ground and walls when i can And i use the softball thunderbolt and arc grenade for prime titan harassment
@@Gooseball1 lmao. If you’ve been getting whooped by the epg and softball, I employ you to actually try using them. If someone kills you with it, they deserved the kill.
Idk about you but imo this thing feels double the amount of fun with controller, and adsing while flying thru the air and sticking someone is ultra funny
I saw a video of someone ballin the shit out of frontier defense with the softball, tried in FD myself and even though I have like 250+ hours in TF2 (which is alot for me since I often dont play one game for a long time instead playing longs of different games over time)and *had* a bottomless pit of hatred and dispair for anybody who used a GL (the mgl is still annoying as fuck as a titan on certain roofs tho). I get it, I understand why people use it, my eyes are.....opened and I am enlightened
I love the Softball, even on console I could do some stupid shit with it. My Softball loadout changes sometimes but my loadout is primarily (current is the first if its a list) Phaseshift Ticks Satchel, Firestar RE45, Wingman MGL, LG97 Phase Embark, Fast Regen Titan Hunter, Hover I ussually pair this loadout with Ronin but depending on the map that could change because my least favorite maps dislike my Ronin playstyle of hit and run
Softball is hella fun and its super powerful, Dont need to bother with anti-titan weapons when I have a gun that is effective against both players, and titans ,my favourite weapon by far with the epg 1 and EVA-8
Not dissing, they're just bad for flick shots, which the Softball relies on heavily in typical engagements. When trying the Softball, Soul Dude said he had a way better time with keyboard and mouse than controller.
Aim with stripe 3 from the top Aim with stripe 3 from the top That's my take on it anyways. Oh and use grav-star. For some reason your grenades won't stick to players in grav star and they'll just hang around mid air until the star runs out, it's the ultimate taunt. If you can empty an entire mag the player will still die of AOE once all the grenades fall down.
@@thebrightmarionne1708 But how do you airstrafe while slide hopping? You must only be able to slidehop in one direction. I have slide as r1 and jump as r3 so I can perform a full slide hop while still being able to turn while doing it and it makes chaining wall runs waay easier since I dont have to take my right thumb off of the stick
@@thebrightmarionne1708 ik Im saying that you must only be able to slide hop in a straight line since you can't airstrafe while doing so because you have your right thumb on crouch and jump
You can’t out me like this...
I’ll give it a shot once I get back home
@@soul_dude199 how was it?

Soul_dude199 proceeded to never use another weapon for the rest of his TitanFall 2 career.

Real
“Love ended with Cold War, love started with the saltball.”
The saltball XD
I'm on controller and hands down saying it right now this weapon is one of my favorites along side the wingman elite.
Same but I use the re also A wall goes really well with this and I cannot run the softball without the hover kit also have an alt loaout that’s the grapple with the hover kit and that one is a beast
This weapon was made for controllers
Easily its volt and epg
I love the Cold War
Yeah the wingman is badass👌

As a cold war Main I can confirm. Aim is not needed, highground is.
Me, about to clap some spitfire, alternator and CAR kids with my Softball:
Please make more. I am on *my hands and KNEES*
The gravity star is great fun while running the soft ball. The grenades are sucked into the pilot xD

This is a beautifully made guide, shame you won't be making anymore, this is excellent
big agree

This. I already had it mapped like this. It really helps.
I would but my RB is broken and sometimes doesn’t register a press.
What a perfect example used with the aiming and hitting comparing it to shooting a three point shot.
Softball is derivative my favorite weapon. Just seeing that brief panic when you land a direct is so funny
Fell in love with the softball when tf2 was in beta

Ooooh they gonna have to glue you back together IN HELL !
Cold War is for really manly chads, I disapprove
My personal loadout has been stim, softball, the auto pistol, thunderbolt, and the arc grenade
I definitely try to keep the high ground and walls when i can
And i use the softball thunderbolt and arc grenade for prime titan harassment
eww, stim
Ty for this masterpiece man! I hope you and Soul_ Dude is doing good :)
pulse blade, satchel and scorch. he just like me fr
Your voice... it's so goooooood
my favourite weapon.
Great guide! I really like your voice
My dear, the guide is working.
Good to see more recent titanfall content.
Soft Ball + Cooked Frag grenade go brrrrrrrr
I am subscribing bro, great Content
People who main Softball and Scorch are probably most likely to be the best at predicting where to shoot their projectiles to hit people
What are the reasons why I would want to main the softball?
*Kaboom* goes brrrrrr
I don't even play titanfall, why did I watch this all the way thru?
I once hit a nuke ejecting pilot at the very greatest height with a softball
never played titanfall but this is entertaining
How do you even use Softball as a crutch for those who can't aim if the damn thing has like 5cm splash radius
People who say that are usually salty CAR babies
I personally prefer to play softball with a 120mm cannon
Gotta say I enjoy using the EPG. Gonna try the Softball
I hate you

Papa Vaughny approve this video, let the Saltball reigns!
No one needs a softball guide
I saw a video of someone ballin the shit out of frontier defense with the softball, tried in FD myself and even though I have like 250+ hours in TF2 (which is alot for me since I often dont play one game for a long time instead playing longs of different games over time)and *had* a bottomless pit of hatred and dispair for anybody who used a GL (the mgl is still annoying as fuck as a titan on certain roofs tho).

I should make one of these about the kraber for my friend
The last time I enjoyed Coliseum was the when Softball was in rotation before the great servering. Kraber just doesn't hit right for me
Thank you very much
why dont you have more subs your content is amazing
thank you my friends have been confused how i hit them with it going mach 6. now i can send them this
I love the Softball, even on console I could do some stupid shit with it. My Softball loadout changes sometimes but my loadout is primarily (current is the first if its a list)
Phaseshift
Ticks
Satchel, Firestar
RE45, Wingman
MGL, LG97
Phase Embark, Fast Regen
Titan Hunter, Hover
I ussually pair this loadout with Ronin but depending on the map that could change because my least favorite maps dislike my Ronin playstyle of hit and run
best tutorial ever
wow feels like i am watching a drg kit video but in tf2 cool XD
be a good time to make some more of these :p
sick ass video my guy. you got a list of the songs you used?
Pleeeeeeease make more of these my softball is now gen 3 from level 1
How to use softball
Step 1: shoot in the approximate direction of your enemy
Step 2: Pray to whatever god you prefer
Step 3: Profit
Fave gun
How do console players just... use keyboard and mouse?
Tip for controller players looking to main softball: lower your sensitivity. You are leading the charge, not flicking.
i love how everyone hates it, reason why i love it and use it
also nice guide
Good video
Softball is hella fun and its super powerful, Dont need to bother with anti-titan weapons when I have a gun that is effective against both players, and titans ,my favourite weapon by far with the epg 1 and EVA-8
So basically I should miss all my shots and then switch to the Re-45. Got it.
Nice guide but dont diss controller.
Really the only problem is if you dont have paddles, stick drift, and just not holding up
Not dissing, they're just bad for flick shots, which the Softball relies on heavily in typical engagements.
When trying the Softball, Soul Dude said he had a way better time with keyboard and mouse than controller.
@@soberbiscuit yea those flicks are hard.
But extended stick can mitigate the issue
So understandable have a nice day
For movement on the controller use the evolved control scheme
@@thatoneguy6004 pls I use ninja
Grapple and stim are best for beginners softballers. Trust me, it works lol
nah man i aint doing something advised by someone who uses pulse blade to see the enemies thro walls rather then killing people with it
What makes me a good demoman?
Demoman TF2 but he can run
This loadout it just demoman of team fortress 2
you meant salt ball?
Got it, just lob this shet.
demoman titanfall 2
Aim with stripe 3 from the top
Aim with stripe 3 from the top

Haha softball go fwomp.
Now, im a controller player and I have almost mastered movement. Controller players have to learn movement on their own to learn
You do need a custom button layout to have full capability of movement tho
I mean I've have only really set crouch to hold to slide hop and mixed sensitivity and fov and a lot of trial and error
@@thebrightmarionne1708 But how do you airstrafe while slide hopping? You must only be able to slidehop in one direction.

@@thebrightmarionne1708 ik Im saying that you must only be able to slide hop in a straight line since you can't airstrafe while doing so because you have your right thumb on crouch and jump
Step1: plug keyboard and mouse into ps4
Step2: realise it isnt kbm compatible on console
make more my wife cheats on me
Fair, you can't aim with Cold War
i'm gonna be honest, this gun fucking sucks
yet i still clap thing with it..?
controller users are fine >:(
Don’t let people know this crap it’s so unfun to play against
Bad guide direkt hit is the only way
controller is only goated for titanfall if u play claw dont try and play normal like a npc XD
I am a Cold War user flame me
