BF2142 Titan Tactics & Strategy

[[MyIS]Spawndemon]

IGN (http://www.ign.com/) has posted up a new guide today that takes a deeper look into the Titan objectives and gives us all some new tactics to use. Here's a piece of the guide:

What do you get when you combine Conquest with a big-*** ship called Titan? The answer is Battlefield's latest addition. The goal is to destroy your opponent's Titan while defending your own. Sadly, this is easier said than done.

To start things off, the Titans are protected by an energy shield, which only has one weakness: missiles. Thankfully, there just happens to be five missile silos strategically placed around the map, and they can be taken control of in the same manner as Control Points. Once activated, missiles launch from the silos towards the opponent's Titan on a two-minute interval. The more silos in your team's control, the faster the shield will be depleted. Once the shield is disposed of, the ship's hull will become vulnerable. While the missiles will eventually take care of the job, it's much quicker to board the Titan and attack the hull directly.

Dude, what Titan are you playing on? Every night me and my friend are on playing Titan mode we hardly ever see anyone use tactics other than run to this silo and then to this one. However the article is not very helpful, yes it gives you allot of basic information but for tactics it lacks big time.

The biggest problem I have with other players on the Titan is they are either running around randomly on it and not setting up a defensive line and/or they are getting in your way and/or coming in through the wrong direction towards a defensive line.

Like I was saying me and my friend have kept 8 - 10 people out of a console hallway at one time. We just use Voice comms and have setup a standard defensive position either in console 1 or 2's hallways. One of us will be support and the other a medic. We will setup a sheild and a sentry gun. Then we will throw down a med hub and ammo hub and then wait for the fun. I generally will have single round burst on for more accurate shots and my buddy will just open up with the Support gun. If it it gets a little hairy in the hallway we just throw some nades and that sends the attackers running back out. Generally after several failed attacks the enemy will just avoid our area until the end of the round. It is very entertaining.... :D

I agree, last night I was trying to defend a certain silo but the commander kept send me commands to jump all over the map to different silos. So as soon as I get to my new way point, the silo I just left is taken. If you can get with some guys that want to use team work and tactics it can be a blast.

PS are there any good BF2142 stat trackers out there?

I know how you feel when things get a bit hairy my friend and i lob a grenade each but you always have some idiot who runs out and the gets blown up and punishes for the teamkill when it is clearly their fault!!

Also another good thing is APMines as a back up just in case so that if you do get over run they take out a few people so when you get back down you can still have a chance to re take it and the defend it again.:)
