titan makes me sick. literally. the jitter and lag you get while on the titan really gets to me. tonight at 11 pm, a round of titan came up, server dropped 15 people within a min. it was really boring imo. i am much more of an infantry type guy, so clearly, I am biased. I think it was worth a shot, and may work better on a weekend once in a while, but I simply dont care for it. the lag it creates is unbearable.

I was suprised and glad to see it switch to the titan map. I bought 2142 because of the demo where i only played titan maps but playing on TG servers i've gotten use to conquest.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! We finally got titan and my computer is down and I can't play This is just one more thing that is making the wait seem that much longer.

For people rusty on the whole Titan Mode thing, remember that titans have VERY long range, STEERABLE drop pods.

I am 90% sure that you can travel about 400 meters in a Titan pod, and there are 6 pod chambers per Titan, so a whole squad can launch at the same time.

Get into the launch chamber, look at the directional cue icons on your screen to figure out which way you need to go .. FACE that way, and then right click to punch out and drop in on some defenders.

Also, if you are Titan Commander .. don't park the Titan next to ANY missile bases, since even ***friendly*** missiles will destroy a Titan parked too close to a silo.

Use it for shore bombardment but don't get too close.

This is not true.Tests have shows each side only actually has 1 Droppod Bay. Once a person is in it wont let anyone else in till that person launched. 2 afk persons can keep the whole pod system occupied.

This is why the NS pod launchers have timers that will automatically shot your ass out in less than 10 seconds!

Jaykay

OMG!! So the 6 pod bays are only PICTURES? I never knew that. I thought each of the six doors was a real door.

Anyway, I just tested it, and the range is about 380 meters.

Yeah, if you're a smart commander (or at least know how titans work), you park said titan near the middle of the silos (in between em all) and then entire squads can pod out to any silo on a moment's notice. Does anyone USE this feature? No. Unfortunately, they don't.

seconded!

Titan was nice as a change although I second the comment that 2 of those long titan rounds in a row is a bit much.

While I do not particularly enjoy the Titan game mode, I was glad to learn it was added to the map rotation for those members that do like to play it. The Shuhia Taiba map was a perfect choice to change, as well, since it seemed to have become rather unpopular over the last month. The server's population may have decreased when the Titan version of this map loaded, but the loss of players seemed on par with those that used to leave during this map's Conquest rotation anyway.

The main reason I have not played the Titan game mode often is the extreme latency I experience on the vehicle itself. However, after playing two rounds on the ground working to capture and defend silos with my squad, I found it can indeed be a nice change of pace from the Conquest mode. I just hope Commanders and Squad Leaders will be a bit lenient with players that cannot participate in the attack or defense of the Titan aboard the vehicle for reasons that are essentially beyond their control.

The conquest version of Shuhia Taiba is my favorate map, I tend to favor the large maps and titan mode on most. The small maps seem more like a Deathmatch type game to me than a strategy type game expecially with the number of players on the servers.
