Titan Rant

[SonicPixel]

Titan would be fun if there weren't so many glitches/exploits which makes it unfair:

The lame indestructable spawn beacons on the Titan roof.
The super lame ability for folks to "somehow" destroy the last console and open the reactor room door when the console was guarded by 5-6 dudes and we're all "WTF?!!".
The Sentry Guns that shoot you through the wall.
The enormous amount of visual lag.


Why win if you have to "cheat" to do it? That's not really "winning" is it? But, you effectively pad your stats while hurting others whose performance was better than yours... Hmm, sounds like a small "member" issue.

It's too bad. Back to Conquest for me.

so what does any of that have to do with cheating? Sounds like your being a poor sport.

[venny]

is that really cheating? the sentry gun shooting through walls, the visual lag, thats not controlled by the player. u cant blame the enemy for everything that doesnt benefit u, n say its unfair n lame

I would agree mostly. It sounds more like he is playing on crappy servers more than anything though However, the sentry guns through the walls does indeedsuck and should not be happening at all.

With that said, I think you need to find some servers that have actual admins that enforce some kind of rules. Complaining about the fact that you cannot have a decent round of Titan while playing on a lameass server doesn't lend much sympathy to your position.

[SonicPixel]

well, placing the Sentry Gun where you know it will shoot through the wall is "exploiting" a weakness in the game, is it not? How about knowing where to place the spawn beacon on the roof so it can't be destroyed? That's OK in your guys minds, too?

While not "cheating" it is using known exploits to gain advantage of the enemy.

What about "magically" destroying a console that is being guarded by 5-6 soldiers? That's not lame? This is not real war, it's supposed to be a game. I'm upset because the team I was on was winning the battle until these tactics were used during the last push on our Titan. Without them we would have won.

It sounds to me like you guys must use those tactics, too. That's too bad.

When I square off against an opponent, I'm looking for a fight where we are both honorable in the quest to find out who is better. I guess that makes me the pwned nub then, since I refuse to do these things I outlined above. That's okay with me, I'm not here to impress you.

the glitch whereby the consoles get destroyed wo getting hit by the enemy is.. is.. really a glitch, but its really innocent. i even had the titan get destroyed super fast before. very wierd bug ard. see this one.

its nothing about the players. its jus the game. as for the beacon, i dont think we will ever know if the beacon was purposely place that way

venny, I hear you. I really don't mean to be blaming everyone and everything... I'm ranting. =) We were just having a great battle until the end was decided by who was willing to "go the extra mile" to win.

My intention was not to make it about me needing to win. My point I intended to make was that the ability to do these things takes the fun away from Titan mode battles. The "visual lag" bit was a last minute add of mine which was not really supportive of my point, but is none-the-less an item in the what-is-not-great-about-Titan-mode list.

I am trying to understand what you mean here. I have destroyed many a console 3 and 4 by having 3-4 guys chucking nades in the hallway. Then it doesnt matter how many are guarding it. If you are talking about some kind of glitch it is one I haven't heard of yet.

i noticed that sometimes, a silo missile destroys a console 'by accident'? im not sure y, but when i see consoles magically go down, its always when a enemy silo missile has jus hit. a bug maybe? i cant really confirm it cos i dont always see it happen

That's too funny! ROFL! Thanks for breaking it down, Jake!

I think you're on to something here. When the last console blew, we just took a hit by a missile on the side where the console was... hmm, that is interesting!

My real point is: yes, there are problems with Titan. Most of them are not that serious though, and I don't encounter them that much. Just play for fun and you'll notice those little things less and less.

Like I just said in another thread: don't "make a mountain out of a mole hill" or several mole hills in this case. :p

The console was destroyed while 5-6 dudes were guarding it. There was no enemy anywhere around it. I actually had eyes-on the console when it failed.

Good advice. I normally play Conquest and don't encounter these things. Thanks for the laugh and not playing "attack the upset ranter". ;)

Yeah, that happened to me just yesterday. I was playing support with an LMG prone behind the shield and I hear *BOOM* to my side. I look over and the console is destroyed. I was like wtf!? I had to haul *** around to the other side to set up a new defense to defend the other consoles.

[Miniman]

I try not to play titan anymore either. it was exciting at first, but some players ruin it.

most people play it the good way, but all the high ranks and clan players jsut pod onto the roof and exploit the hell out of the titan to get as much points as they can.

1) This is caused because FF is turned off.
2) You can nade spam into the console 3-4 and destroy it.
3) and 4) Seek support from the wahbulance.

I was on TiTan yesterday, 1 & 2 consoles up. I'm looking at the console, when Lights out dead. Respawn, and they are in the open core blowing it. I'm sorry, but this does not seem like a missile hitting the side of the titan.

[sogek1ng]

Did you die from a demo pack? If so they are doing it from above you. An easy fix is dont stand near the console in 1 or 2. Stand up really far up front, or really far in the back.

I wish they had a hole so you can kill campers. Or a way to throw nades better down the hall. When people spam pk's and nades, i cant even snipe anyone or do anything.

I also started playing FF on, i found a few servers where FF on, but not for shooting and apms. I think that is a happy medium, because you can't nade spam or rdx near yourself. And no becon bug FTWFW

[RMcLeod]

If you're fed up of indestructable beacons on the roof just camp it, they'll soon give up on using it and if they don't just think of all them kills and titan defender pins!

[venny]

easy knife kills too.....

[TrooperJac]

Whenever I see an enemy spawn beacon I set up the sentry and polish my Clark 15B. Just wait for the incoming canon fodder and rack up the combat pins!

Never seen these indestructible spawn beacons but then I never play on FF off servers. The home of lamer RDX hoppers :D
