I'd just like to show PRECISELY how much this new mode rocks...



The awards not shown are Combat Eff pin, Distinguished Combat Eff pin and Gold Star. Oh, and another titan defender pin.

The combat and d combat pins are for blowing up FAT TRANSPORTS. Mmm, transports.

We are looking into the lag issue.

I think the lag is caused by the titans moving. Before i came onto TG, i would preaty much play on a titan only server, but the thing was that you cant move the titan. This server had very little lag. On tg today, i went from about 40-45 FPS to 10-15 on titan (thanks for the info fraps) I know its not that my vid card cant support titan, geforce 7600 and the 40 FPS is on med-high setting (some things like lighting are turned down but textures are high.) So, im not sure if its this new patch "optimizing" titans, or the titans moving. Whatever it is, i recommend taking titan out of the mix till its fixed.
Note, im not going to effect my conquest gfx to get good preformace on titan maps. If EA would have a seperate setting for titan and conquest, then i would turn titan gfx down.

...needs more booster pack in there to make it more complicated!

Till now TG Titan seems very awk experience. You have like 7 squads with few ppl - most of them running thru the map like burning bunnys. Then when shields are down suddenly everyone goes into the enemy titan and usually bombs it within 30 seconds!

Well, the problem with the FPS ADDers and Titan is that Titan changes the entire game type from "Capture the flag" to "Capture and hold the flag." This means that yes, you MAY NOT get 500000000000 kills in 10 seconds spamming APMs at Central camp. However, if you stick to a silo and actually defend properly, if I'm commanding, you will probably be assigned titan defense (Because I know you will stick to a location).

The other problem I see is people totally ignore the CO orders (again, me COing, I dunno how other people do it) to IGNORE THEIR TITAN for 60-ish seconds as soon as the shields go down. 99% of the time, the entire other team rushes to their titan to defend it, leaving all those pretty red silos open for capping. As soon as all the silos are blue, they rush out again, letting my team waltz into their titan, beep beep BOOM Enemy titan hull destroyed.

Yes, it's really cool you can get to their titan fast. However, if the CO tells you to stay away cause half of their team is there... it doesn't mean RUSH BLINDLY INTO THE NADE SPAM.

Oh, and for gods sakes... I get 10 TKs every round at least from the retards that sit on the console/reactor... when I have 5 RDX placed on it. They saw me place it, they won't move. They're not even SHOOTING the damn thing, they just sit there. I give em 10 seconds to get out, then blow it.

PROTIP 1: If you're not recon, stay behind the floor-to-ceiling blast glass.
PROTIP 2: We need 1 recon, 2 support (mmm, RDX), lots of medics. NOT SIX OR MORE RECONS. Engies are ok too if they know to shoot the reactor and get behind cover once the RDX is down.

I dunno, I don't have a lot of problems with titan mode on this server. The titan server honestly sucked. I don't know why. This one can run it ok. Sides, people get their frag frenzy fix after titan. Minsk titan -> Camp Gibraltar!

Yes, Commanding on titan mode is awful. People disregard your orders when sheilds are down. They are drawn to whichever titan has no shields like some bizzaro moth. Also as mentioned before, the lag is due to server issues and not your "4 year old video card". I was lagging badly and I have a 8800GTX.

I've never had lag issues on Titan since the 1.10 patch came out. The reasons it get laggy are because either the titans are extremely too close, or someone is in the Titan's AA guns spamming the other Titan AA guns. You cannot kill those guns with yours. And that is what causes the extreme lag.

Also, I've never had issues with the drop pods either. You can have all 6 loaded. I've seen it done. As for launching, perhaps can can only launch 1 or two at a time, but there is no reason for a whole squad to be in it. Hold Spawn, and the SL pods over.

I really do enjoy Titan, and I'm glad to see its been added to the rotation. I just hope that everyone at least tries to suffer through for a little more than a few days before officially making up their minds.

Ya, thats what i thought the problem is and causeing the. The shield impact is what causes this. However, the only way to prevent this from happing would be to have no titan movement set to on, but then that ruins half the fun. As i said before, i recommend removing titan from the mix untill EA fixs the lag issues, or have seprite gfx settings for titan and conquest so that i can turn the titan settings down so i get half decent frame rates, without effecting my conquest gfx

Amnion

I love it! MY FPS were great, but of course a bit slower on board the titan. Keep it in, its way fun! Its also a great break from the conquest rotation...

Having your graphics change constantly would increase your load times horribly since the game would have to do the video optimization setting. EA has fixed a lot of titan problems, I think it's fine now for the most part.

I had a fun titan round tonight. the lag was unbearable during one round, but during the other, it was quite reasonable. I think the difference is how far apart the titans are.

I had fun on it tonight but I've always liked Titan. I did notice it was harder to CO but it played much better then the days of the Titan server. Most squads were willing to bunker down and hold silos rather then flag hop.

I managed to TK only a few people with the Titan guns but that's why I was saying that squads need to have their own members on the guns; so they can coordinate with the ground forces. I can't see infantry from up there :/
