Titans.......*sigh*

[Raven]

Ok. A have a little rant comnig up followed by some suggestions.


First of all, I cant freaking believe EA/dice released the demo with this glitchy *** titan crap like, whenever the titan mooves it feels like im on a skating rink.
Bodies slide around, fall through the floor etc. How would you revive someone if we got defibs hmm? They really need to patch that stuff.

Second the whole idea of the titans is amazing its really fun (when they arent mooving)
A lot of people for some reason dont know that the titans have pods in them and they mindlessly stand around waiting for ships to spawn eventhough they are parked on the enemies titan.
Also people need to learn to use the stairway from the spawn area to the titan core.

Thats all i wanted to say, overall i think the game is pretty awesome kinda gay we got no unlocks but i think that server admins will figure out a way to allow unlocks just like in the bf 2 demo.

PS: can anyone tell me how to do the air detonation thing on the rocket launcher, cant figure it out.

there are pods on titan?? where?!!! also i dont get glitchy people in titan, unless they die. also im gonna try exploding in the air thing, maybe its either E, Left click, or sumin else.

that is the attachment for the assault kit.

the titan pods are the cylindrical doors on the side walls of the covered part of the main deck.

Titan mode is good but lots of people have been complaining about lag when it moves. I get it all the time (i drop from 50 fps to about 10 crap!).

My question is why is EA and DICE even releasing the game when there is a serious problem?

Titan Mode is the big gun for BF2142 and it needs to be near perfect so that people will continue to play it. If the retail version is going to be as 'bad' as this demo (titan mode), we are just going to keep on hearing about lag (even ppl with top end comps are lagging). I think EA should seriously hold off on the release and get this problem fixed, otherwise they might release another "BF2 1.3" again.

I love the titan-pods I launch with them then land on the helicopter or my teammate that are on my titan it is sooooo fun

[Lavadisk]

heh, I Dont lag.

Its not their doing, its just your computer and i dont see how they can help you fix that.
I Do agree with the thing about the bodys falling through the ground tho.. no need to stress about that now.

actually it depends on the server, I noticed some servers don't lag at all but some will lag with titan movement

Well guess what? BF2 runs fine on my computer. BF2142 runs fine on my computer, except for on the Titan when it's moving. And a zillion other people have the exact same problem. So you know what? It is their problem. Don't be an apologist for lazy programming.

Cause they'd lose money if they delay it..
We can't have that, can we ;)

Meh no lag here. You sure its not just you and the "zillion" others?

If you think its a problem now you should have played the beta 1

[Jellymech]

no lag for me either , 1 of my friends had lag only on the titan he changed the setting from t1 lan to cable256 and it fixed it .

[JAKK]

Ok, well it seems not all people have the lag problem, but what about the bodies/kits problem? Are the people without lag still having bodies float though walls?

If so, then this is going to be a problem in the full retail version. Medics will be less effective because they have to rush to someone before they're gone into the wall. That just takes the fun out of CQC, medics are awesome.

[|AFF|Soupyblister]

Hmmm, no lag here also. No anything, Just great game play. Can't wait till my full version drops in my mailbox

There is not lazy programming if only some servers lag...its more a servers problem that a programming problem...i usually dont lag also.

[Beerman]

I hope they patch it in 1.1 only thing I dont like so far.

[Spl1nter]

The titan moving is pretty useless. They should just remove it. But then people would get angry. Ironicly it would be the people who hated the fact that they got lag when the titan moved. Thats gaming for you. :)

[Sir. Tasty]

Nah i might be your graphix i hardly ever get joltyness from the titans moving

Read the forums. Every discussion I've read about the Titan includes numerous comments on the lag problem and other bugs. If it's even a problem for half the players, or even a problem with servers, then it's definitely DICE/EA's problem. Something about the way the Titan movement is programmed is making it susceptible to these problems. Just because you don't personally have the problem doesn't mean it isn't an issue that DICE/EA should address.

Also, last time I checked, the clear favourite on servers was Conquest mode; they outnumbered Titan mode games by something like 5 to 1 or more. That's likely because of the problems with Titans, which makes it an unsatisfactory experience.

Having a game require top notch hardware to run as intended, even at low settings, is practically the definition of lazy programming.
