titan guns getting double points for normal kills???????

[jojobiz]

i played a couple of rounds after the 1.20 patch today and noticed the all of the titan gun kills count as titan defense/attack kills. and possibly on top of the silo defense bonus too. can anybody confirm this?

* i guess now would be a good time to get my 50 hrs in the titan guns badge b4 EA fix the glitch lol

What map, could be your just on a map where the Titan is closer to the ground?

Damnit, I just cancelled my 1.20 d/l!

[isaac331]

For me it has always counted for titan defense points.

[Wizrdwarts]

That only happens when the enemy is inside the "defend" radius of the titan.

Thats how it worked in 1.10, thats why I was wondering what map. They may have increased the sphere around the Titan to help all those folk with the Titan Defend patch.

[Wizrdwarts]

Verdun is the one where the PAC Titan is really low above their base.

[RangerXML]

Confirmed, Titan Guns now give you Titan Defence, just got my Titan Defence Gold!!!

Not to complain or anything, but I think they should of added a better way to get Titan attack, rather then give peolpe more of a reason to stay on the Titan!

[Iwantcable]

This is total B.S.! I wanted 5 points per titan gun kill, not 2!!!!!


That's it, I quit 2142 forever, here's my CD-Key: OMGW-TF13-13QH-4X0R










btw, DICE, if you ever decide to change it back with a new patch hotfix thing, please spend 30mins researching ways to exploit your game (youtube is a good start). You might be able to kill 2 birds with 1 stone ;).

sigh...i was afraid of that... now that titan guns give double pts PLUS the engy repair pts i wonder who the hell would even bother to actually go down to the silos anymore....u just end up giving the enemy titan gun whores more pts anyway.

oh well, like all things in life, u see a sploit, don't complain about it, just abuse it to hell and if enough peeps do it and ruin the game then ea will eventually patch it, like the bf2 noobtube...:-)

im off to get my 50 hrs titan gun badge lol

[natasbotox]

wow venny your W/L ratio is great!


And yeah, I tried it out today and got titan defend points for killing someone on the ground from about 200 feet away. Wonder why they would extend that...

[Ghiblian]

The thing that irks me is not that you're getting so many points for just sitting in a gun, which is absolutely ridiculous in itself, but rather that DICE went through the trouble of adding this change that I've never heard anyone ask for, completely neglecting all the things that REALLY REALLY matter. Yes, I'm sure it didn't require much time, but it's the principle of the matter!

Sometimes I think posting ideas on a forum is actually a bad thing because then it never ends up in the game. Perhaps they CAN'T use ideas suggested by players for fear of being sued or something...

Also, what badge requires 50 hours in the Titan guns? o.O

[[DICE]CKMC]

This is a bug. We are investigating...

[Ghiblian]

Well, now that an official DICE spokesperson has spoken, I feel kinda silly posting what I did. But honestly, is it impossible to fix the sentry guns shooting through the Titan walls? Or to fix the gunship from bouncing crazily up and down? Or even the TK issues with exiting a vehicle and being killed instantly?

[jojobiz]

i remember seeing some badge about a titan turrent and it required a global 50hrs to earn.

so the EA spokesperson has confirmed that it's in fact a glitch and not design. im relieved.....
pls patch it quick cuz im seeing tons of peeps abusing the crap outta this and getting 100+ score each round just sitting in the titan.

(on the other hand, such wonders it'll do for ur K/D ratio LOL)

[Ghiblian]

There is a badge for Air Defense (which includes 2nd seat of walker, Titan AA guns, and ground Rorsch AA). There is also a ribbon for sitting in the Titan AA guns for 10 hours.

"This is a bug...we are investigating".... well DICE, I see you have spoken on a simple points issue, but have not responded to the Squad Leader drones crushing people to death and blowing up instantly in side the Titan. Since you supposedly knew about this bug because it was reported by various beta testers, I guess we have a "This is a bug... we dont care"? As I see it, some bug giving a titan gunner more points is less important than a faulty unlock that either explodes or kills me when I deploy it. Sorry, but you definitely dropped the ball on this patch. I thanked you for being proactive with fixes before the patch was released, but bugs in this new patch are huge.

[RangerXML]

Considering the Drones don't work half the time, double points for Titan guns (plus badges and pins) is a more urgent fix.

[AboveAndBeyond]

The OTUS recon drone worked great before they "fixed" it.

You all complained about the riding of the drone, so they had to try and nerf it and we all know how DICE nerfs things.

[AboveAndBeyond]

Find a post where I personally ever complained about the stairway to heaven drone. Never saw this problem in titan mode which is all I play. Nerfing something doesn't mean it should kill you or instantly self destruct the minute it is deployed. The OTUS drone was the best friend a titan attack or defense team could have and now it is FUBAR.

[Ghiblian]

Ah. The Titan Guns are ridiculous. Today I was playing a Suez Titan game where both the Titans were right in the middle of the map (so a huge amount of action going on). In three games, the first place player was always the person that sat in the Titan Guns for the entire game (20-0 to 30-0).

Well now it doesn't work at all since it kills you when you deploy it. :/

That's 'cause Suez is Titan Gun Heaven given that it's the only map (the ONLY map) with only 1 AA turret anywhere other than the main bases, which become useless as soon as the Titans move.

I know, I know. But the Titan gun spammers never get first place from sitting in the gun the entire time. And usually only half as many points as the first place player out in the field.

Not so hard to get a bunch of Engineers together and start picking Titan guns off.
