For anyone that's really having a real difficult time performing Parkour moves; here are a few suggestions that may help:
1) There is an option to allow your pilot to Auto Sprint, without having you to press down on the left stick; so this would allow a total newb to only have to concentrate on pressing the "A" button for jumping.
2) A few people have said they switched the game's default controls to the "Bumper-Jumper" configuration, which now maps jumping to the Left Bumper, and your Special Ability to the "A" button.
3) Remember in order to, successfully wall run, you need to hit that wall on an angle, and tap your "A" button, while crossing; I was constantly hitting the "A" button to actually cross long distances, basically it looked like I has skipping across the wall, I was fortunate to see my moves (death cam) courtesy of the person that put a cap in my ass (LOL)
I am definitely far from becoming a Parkour God in this game, there are times I miss the window, or didn't hiot the wall at a proper angle and fall off, or not time my jump and not hitting the "A" button while in midair; but at least I'm getting good with rodeo riding on-top on an enemy Titan and blasting away at it's Brain Box, also if your qucik enough and time the jumps, you can literally run up behind a Titan and climb it's back to reach the head, I only pulled that stunt once and was scratching my head afterwards, wondering how I did it in the first place (LOL)
I was in the middle of training when Dixon asked me join his party. I would've but I couldn't figure the fuck out of anything. It was my coffee break time and my wife was due home any minute too. I'll be trying to get on this evening if wifey ever stops watching the Olympics. :(
i'm up to LVL 11 or 12 and so far it's quite fun! I thinks it's a pretty good BETA, but am quite curious about the amount of content (#maps & #Titans) that will be in the released game. Respawn has been pretty quiet on that front considering we are 4 weeks away from launch. Although i initially was surprised at the 6v6 player count I must say it works well.

Its a pretty lame 6v6 with all the grunts. At first, I didn't mind the grunts so much, but the more I play, the more I dislike them. I expect them to actually do something useful, and instead, they'll watch me get flanked because I don't realize they're just grunts. Also, killing grunts seems really unsatisfying. A pilot pretty squishy too. I'd rather the kills I get to mean something instead of having a host of targets in front of me.

i agree. It just makes it feel more chaotic and somewhat diminishes the pvp feel. I don't care about killing bots.
I like the addition of the burn cards. Some really good stuff that can give you a nice advantage until you die. FYI, when you get the nuke option for the titan good times are to be had until people learn better. I'll charge in to a group of titans and they'll beat the shit out of me, auto eject, and watch the carnage below as I get a multi-kill. If anyone survives, it's rodeo time.
I like what I've seen and want more. The Grunts seem to be a big deal for people like Dixon but I barely notice them. I get the Meta game Grunts provide but I'm not good enough to take full advantage of it. It could take me months of continuous play to really settle in and make a final judgment. Open sights is newish for me. I like the wall running but it distracts me so much I get killed a lit. This game is hard on old people.
My god it was smooth game play. No motion sickness issues what so ever.
I can hardly wait for the March Party udates. After years of Halo, that's some fucked up shit.
I am going to try using Smartglass for typing. No chatpad is simply retarded.
I'm up to level 13 now and am having more fun. I've finally developed a play style that works for me. Hell I even went a round only dying once and that was a suicide by grenade. Like I said before I'm not really a FPS player but this game seems to have been made for people like me. I don't really care about winning or losing and K/D doesnt mean jack to me.
Anyone else getting server connection retries? My connection to stufff outside of the game tests out fine.
It's a beta. They just opened it up to everyone.
Also if you are getting it a lot they suggest either restarting the game or returning to the main menu. I think a lot of it has to do with this being one of the first games to truly use the Azure servers and no p2p.

figured it was load but always good to hear from others. They are bumping up against the max server alotment for the beta. Looking forward to the full game.
I tried using SmartGlass while playing TF with Dixon. Works but a bit confusing. At one point my Surface was the controller. Oops. Sure makes typing messages easier but finding people to message, was messy.
I heard Private matches may be possible after launch but that was a very casual comment somewhere. Don't count on it. This game will be a ton of fun if we can control who we play with like in Halo.

@ DEEP_NNN sent you the code via PM
If I happen to get one later this weekend, I'll post its availability here too.
Man I'm terrible at shooters. Still fun though, recorded this earlier:

@DEEP_NNN, no problem man. Glad I was able to help you out. I have a feeling you're going to love it.
Wow. Gun's sound better in your video than the official stuff.
Just got my code.

Didn't get a code yet, will gladly take one off somebody's hands if they have extras for XB1!

My XB1 Code came in.
First to ask me right here, gets it. You still need one Ders?

Yes Deep, I would love it if you still have it!
You're the man! Thank you very much sir. :)
BETA is opening up for all XB1 owners tonight. Just go to the Store and download. I don't know the exact timing.
PC tomorrow.
They'll also be extending the beta by 1 day.
Hello,
Actually caved fom my PS4 only stance this gen to play the Beta. Game is pretty sweet. Glad they are opening it up for all X1 peeps this evening.
Cool game. Huge learning curve for me.
i have been going solo so far. If you have room in your party let me know :)
3 titans , hopefully 10+ maps and this should be good for a while. I just hope they don't get too dlc crazy and release with like 6 maps.
If the beta doesn't truly open up I have a code.

Yep, I have been getting it on the PC and it occured during a few games, always at the start of a game.
