Titan cannons

[Dogge_Parkour]

I've got a question about thoose really big cannons on the bottom of the titan, are they manual- or auto-controlled?:confused:

[|D|-Max]

manual;)

[NiSsE]

The commander Controlls them, and there is 2 AA guns ontop of the titan too.

[|D|-Max]

there manual one of the DICE people said it:|:

[Dogge_Parkour]

Ok :D

[ReaperOfsouls]

there manual one of the DICE people said it:|:

He's right lol.

I am glad they are manual will make for fun and easy kills hopefully as long as its not nerfed to death.

[DarQraven]

WHat do you mean the commander controls them?
Man, being commander is going to be one hell of a job in 2142. You have to fly the titans, gun the titans, spot, scan, uav, command, supply, drop, AND keep yourself alive...
Sounds like we might need 2 or 3 commanders at once:p

The commaders dont gun the titans, they are manual unless you mean him just siting in the gun while commanding.

[Splinter]

there like the essex in Bf2, dont work unless someone is in them and shooting at stuff.

[RedDot]

I din't know commander could move the USS Essex ;):p

[DarQraven]

I was responding to Nisse´s post. But ok, I already thought it would be weird to have the commander control air-to-ground cannons. On the other hand, they could be the artillery strikes of 2142...?

[Splinter]

I din't know commander could move the USS Essex ;):p


He can if he jumps in it;)

I'm looking forward to manning one of those turrest, going to be fun blasting those pods:cool: :ar15:

[Cazzy]

Hehe when those pods shoot up from the personnel carriers, it will be like a duck hunt for the people manning the titan guns! Or maybe a clay shoot- PULL! BLAM! Target practice-

[Cloud9]

The TITAn could be substituted for the Commander's artillary in titan mode, but there is no titan in Conquest mode. So there will be artillary for sure in that mode. I think there probably will be artillary in titan mode, but they may try to balance titan mode out by not using conquest style artillary since the commander already has the titan's canons. guess we'll have to wait and see, but atleast we know we'll have regulary artillary in conquest mode.

[AJED (G.Drew)]

it is like the USS essex
Comannder controls the titan itself (pilots)
all other guns are manned by other players
(this will show how good there are in a team, cause if there not good they'll probably not man ALL of the guns)

[Cloud9]

I thought it's been said the commander mans the turret guns...who knows.

[Splinter]

In Titan mode therer isnt arty because of the Titan gun's.
In conquest, the commander get's an "orbital blast", maybe like the Ion cannon in CnC

[AJED (G.Drew)]

that would be kool (it be like a kind of Goldeneye blast!)
i probably think the way to take out the arty is like the satellite scan i suppose

[ReaperOfsouls]

I think this was a smart move on DICE's part and it also puts more emphisis on commder again.

[Cicchetti]

No Arty dream.............. I swear i get killed more by that then people lmao

[ReaperOfsouls]

No Arty dream.............. I swear i get killed more by that then people lmao

I know what you mean, it really got under my skin when the other team toally sucked but you still were getting owned because of one commander fixated on you lol.

[AJED (G.Drew)]

its an easy way to get kills and its a pain the the a**e :p

[Cicchetti]

I know what you mean, it really got under my skin when the other team toally sucked but you still were getting owned because of one commander fixated on you lol.

Omfg i know i had a round once me and my friend were trying to get a chopper so it spawns right when we are about to go boom and not only do we die but we get Arty timed so he keeps dropping it on there right when it spawns for the rest of the round errrrrr blood pressure!!!!!! lol

Just WOW! :shock:

[Splinter]

good little vid that, show'ed the sniper rifle, titan cannons and the attack chopper.

[kiss my RICE]

I agree, that was a great video. Wow...those cannons move so slowly, their probably enormous! Also...notice how many times the titan's shields flashes every time that it's hit..could be annoying, but I doubt it. Each one of those cannons are mini-artillery strikes. I wanna be the first one in each round to use those...I forsee...a K/D ratio of 20-1 Yay!

[kiss my RICE]

I just realized...I would seriously TK to use one of those turrets...do you think anyone else will think the same way? The prospect of kills, is very powerful.

[Splinter]

as long as you cant be TKed while in them:(

[DarQraven]

LAWL!
I can already see it in my head. 6 dudes jumping around on the titan "MINE MINE MINE MINE!!!"

[kiss my RICE]

That movie was soo random...I love that one where the guy randomly runs across the screen..and the savannah music starts...*kiss my rice runs down hall* AHHHHHHHHHH SUMA!!! AMONTEK! whatever that song wuz...wuz in da lion king.

[AJED (G.Drew)]

u could say it wud b like the blk hwk bfore the minigun got towned down
(those wer the gd old days)

[kiss my RICE]

Yes, time is flying as we speak isn't it? Back when a blackhawk could take out tanks, infantry, even helos...good times..However, those new transports for the PAC look deadly. There are two auto-turrets on it, I'm guessing that if you're gunner, you're protected from all sides, and safely sitting inside the transport, but you can still control one of those deadly turrets. Sweet!

[Splinter]

you could see the gun operater in the the transport, they sit facing towards the tail on the side, which mean's they can still be shot out:)

[Miniman]

i think they should be 100% accurate, do 1 hit kill, have about 4 seconds reload, but have NO splash damage - direct hits only. pretty much a tank shell with more damage, but no splash damage

[Silent_Ops]

i wonder if ur shooting at something far away with those cannons do u have to worry about arc??? or are they just uber good and dont arc kinda like point-click-chaos!

[ReaperOfsouls]

Ya that would be a serious TKing machine lol.

[Elit3_Hawkins]

NO way what if the chopper is moving really fast, there will be no way you could hit a guy

[ReaperOfsouls]

Heck no that would be so retarted lol.

From the latest rash of videos it looks like they uped the splash damage just like they said they would so I am kinda glad TBh.

[Elit3_Hawkins]

What does TBh mean???

[ReaperOfsouls]

To Be Honest.

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Oh thx i dont know any of those things at all

[DarQraven]

I think they should make the cannons just good enough to take out armor in one hit, but TBH (there it is again) you must be retarded to use titan cannons to take out individual infantry when you could be pwnz0ring a whole base full of tanks with them. So really, splash damage isn't needed, unless you're that bad a shot that you can't hit a tank when it's moving a bit.

Yea tanks are SOOOO huge it is almost impossible to miss

Completely agree, however, I think cannons are the new race of jets in this game.

1. You're high up in the sky
2. You can deal out enormous amounts of punishment from a safe position.
3. You can kill armor in one hit

It doesn't seem that you can stop cannons, short of destorying the titan...you could go...30, 40, or 50 kills straight just using that cannon. I seriously think that there can be TK's galore. Imagine, your commander parks the titan right on top of an enemy base, everyone hops into the cannons, and rains 6 barrels of hell onto the enemy base. They'd murder everyone!

I sure hope there is a way of stopping this baserape

[DarQraven]

There probably is: the movement speed and restricted firing angles of the cannons/titan. I don't think moving the titan is gonna be a 5 second thing. Look at bf1942. Taking the huge ship for a ride often took 5 minutes, and any apc detecting that movement will be long gone by that time.

There's another one. PWND: Poor Whining Noob is Dead

[kiss my RICE]

Whatever, I'm going to go with you on this one. But, I wasn't talking about exactly "moving" the titan, but if you look at the video, that certain map, Minsk, had an awesome sight range. You could see the entire map! Now, the new cycle: Titan Cannon->Walker->Tank->APC->Transport->Infantry->Titan Cannon. The helo is in there somewhere also..its a vicious cycle.

[ReaperOfsouls]

I sure hope there is a way of stopping this baserape

Rember DICE's modo, "Rock, Paper, Sissors shoot!" lol and its a good modo to.

[kiss my RICE]

Yeah...you got anything better?

[ReaperOfsouls]

Yeah...you got anything better?

No, hence why I was complimenting it.

[kiss my RICE]

O well..sorry. The rock, paper, scissors concept is fine, it just can't be beat. Of course, unlike the actual game, there is a way around it. For instance, paper beats rock, but in BF2, paper only SOMETIMES beats rock, its not like when faced with evolution in a chain, you must throw your life away.

[ReaperOfsouls]

I see what you are saying and its true, AA missles ike stingers should be able to take out jets however, they are incredibly ineffective.

[NiSsE]

sheck this moive, after the sniping you see someone sitting in one off the Titan guns

EDIT: the video was allready posted in this thread but here it is again

[Elit3_Hawkins]

I know there needs to be an easier way to take down jets other than another jet and AA vehicles

[AJED (G.Drew)]

acually theres 4 jet engines and the only offense weapon is the 50.cal type weapon undearneath part of the aircraft (then again, theres always that assault pod launcher ;) :laugh: )
http://uk.gamespot.com/pages/video_player/popup.php?sid=6154013&pid=932358&rgroup=ea2006_index
look closely at the transport

[DarQraven]

..the assault pod being the deadliest weapon of all :p
I think it'll take about 1 week after release for the first "assault pod roadkills" to be made. Or maybe you could flip an APC onto it's side and use the pods as a cannon... You could use them as an artillery strike if you have enough of them.. the possibilities are endless :cool:

Ya, pull a james bond and right an overturned APc how bad *** would that be.

[AJED (G.Drew)]

LOL human artillery LOL

[Elit3_Hawkins]

That would be a LOT of fun

[Serenity]

LOOL. Artillery now Cartillery.. lol Humantillery next

rofl.

[Elit3_Hawkins]

I could just picture stunt mods being made with those apc's now.....

[AJED (G.Drew)]

shooting down those hoverjets with the assault pods, that would be alot of fun :D

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Hover jets...??? HUH????

[AJED (G.Drew)]

thats what ive learned to call them, the UD-6 Talon etc.

[Elit3_Hawkins]

O those are called...ummm,... CHOPPERS

[ReaperOfsouls]

O those are called...ummm,... CHOPPERS

They do not have any blades they are no longer called choppers.

Dice's term is Bladeless Aircraft I think, I am not sure.

[AJED (G.Drew)]

i know, GUNSHIP
cause if u think about it, they are gunships!

[kiss my RICE]

hovering thingymajiggers?

haha...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...AHAHAHAHAHAHAH...no.:p

[ReaperOfsouls]

hovering thingymajiggers?

Ya I think that covers it :)

[AJED (G.Drew)]

i think there technically gunships but that is a good definition lol

[Alaz]

You know we'll find out when you spot them, from whatever your guy reports he has seen. Though to be difficult they'll probably say something stupid like "Hostile aircraft spotted" just to spite us :p

[AJED (G.Drew)]

that is probably EXACTLY what it will say

[kiss my RICE]

"Hostile Gunship Spotted"...nope...doesn't sound that good. "Hostile Aircraft Spotted!"..its got a ring to it doesn't it?

[MrBenis]

It's been called a gunship.

"enemy gunship!" snick bam bam bam ASIOGHAIOPSBIO{SBNAILSBN{IOASNB{AWIOBN{AIOSNBILSNB AAAAAAAAAA MEDIIIIIIC

Yep. Thats my uhh.. "extract" from the movie in question.

[AJED (G.Drew)]

:shock:
my fav:
"we've got company overhead, over"

[kiss my RICE]

Maybe soldiers should just reply "Houston, we've got a problem" as a phrase for every time they spot anything...

[AJED (G.Drew)]

lol that'd be kool

[Splinter]

A squad attacks a silo, just as there about to cap it an enemy Titan roars over head, the squad leader gives a simple warning.
"were f*cked...

[AJED (G.Drew)]

and the guy in the titan says:
"asuckmaballs *BAAAAAM*"
no more squad...

[Splinter]

First to Titan cannons get's the gold:)

[Elit3_Hawkins]

Yeah it kinda does...

[kiss my RICE]

and the guy in the titan says:
"asuckmaballs *BAAAAAM*"
no more squad...

It'd be dam funny if DICE messes in some funny lines from other games. Take starcraft for example. When someone dies..there will be this: *Crackling Radio* Soldier: Ahhh, we're under attack! I love you sarge Sarge: (Gritty voice) Awww..you gay son of a- *Bzzzzzzt* Zerg: (Creepy echoy voice) For the Swarm!".

[ReaperOfsouls]

So far I think the voice overs are cheap.

In BF2 they sounded mildly belivible, in 2142 they sound so fake.

[kiss my RICE]

BF2142, you have just been trashed by ReaperofSouls...For the Swarm!

[MrBenis]

Nah, I reckon they sound alright.

SF was done poorly. The voiceovers we've heard so far sound more.. realistic, which is why they might also sound cheesy.

In BF2 lonewolf/squadmember (ie, the baby) voiceover pretty much squeels for a medic. "medic! oh noes mickeymouse!"

BF2 commander sounds grunty "OI YOU RODDER! GIT OVA HERE!"

BF2142 is meant to be some frog/pommy/germanic combo, and they actually sound believeable this time.

in SF they sounded like the Queen. "oh, RAHTHUR!"

[kiss my RICE]

Yup....the BF2142 voices sound pretty good, like how you would actually talk if you just spotted a tank 2 meters from your face.

[Splinter]

The only thing you would hear is the sound of you sh*ting yourself:D

[Angelsoul]

Titan mode is not about killing, its about taking the missle silos, take out the Titan shield and destroy the Titan.

I don't think you would be very helpfull for your team if you just sit in the turret and pound the ground :rolleyes:

[Cloud9]

It might not be that helpful but it sure would be fun shooting the crap out of vehicles and soldiers on the ground.

[AJED (G.Drew)]

i think the voices in 2142 r ok, but there just so like bf2, i mean, like the EU voice over when they lauch a missile and vice versa

[ReaperOfsouls]

So that mean that they sound like yanks lol. Haha.

[AJED (G.Drew)]

this video clearly shows that the aircraft in 2142 are called gunships (and it shows some of the voice-overs aswell

and its kool u now can display stuff when u aim at an enemy (health etc)
also when u look at something, every1 in ur squad sees it and can take action against it

[ReaperOfsouls]

Ya the network battlefeild thing seems cool but I think it will clutter your screen more than anything inside the titan.

There would be to much inforamtion at once and you could not see whos infornt of your face becasue of the 3D map.
