Maybe if it didn't take 30 mins to get half way across the map it wouldn't be so bad for so long. Speed it up and have a very long "recharge" period in between moves. People like to launch from titan to titan and use the mortar feature.

Lot of people seem to be flaming as in he dislikes titan moving fullstop, but according to his original post he didnt make any suggestion that he doesnt like the principal.  However I agree with him to the extent it does cause some pretty horrific lag issue's for those of us on lesser machines or messed up connection's so in that respect he can be forgiven for saying, 'Stop Moving The Fucking Titans'.  I am pretty sure he would agree with you that moving them into position for offence/defense is great for good rounds blah blah, but like he said, till EA solve that issue it be best leaving them where they are imo.

Wont make a damm bit of difference but if atleast some people took this onboard you would do some of your fellow gamers a favour and let them have some fun.

EA havn't fixed the lag issue, so don't move the titans it makes the game unplayable for a lot of people. The thing is it dosn't make a difference to the Titan mover, but everone else has to cope.

Until they've fixed this, next patch maybe, keep the Titans stationary. Just show some fucking self-control.

I think it depends on the server. I have seen full server with moving Titan without any lags. But yesterday I was on a server where even when the Titan was not moving we got bad lag.

May be some cheap none dedicated server  (to safe money or make more) are the problem. EA should make sure to enforce minimal requirement for Titan ranked server.

Yeah thanks to this problem I've gotten my most bullshitty death. I wanted to knife a guy i knew was a sniper (i have the netbat inf. id) on the back of the titan. So i sprint towards him, but thanks to all the lag i somehow end up going too far. I spin around, the guy still hasn't seen me. Again I try to reach him (he's practically standing still) and I bump into him, knifing, but do no apparent damage at all. He spins around and boom headshot, the fastest one ever. he shouldnt even have had the time to use his scope...damn lag

Nope, havn't had this problem at all. I always move the Titan somewhere strategic so we can use the guns at the bottom. It also allows troops to pod down from the Titan and take much needed silo's. I've never had any major problems with 2142 such as lag or crashing.
Also people tend to over inflate things on forums.

Which I hate.

See here's the problem...moving the titan has significant strategic importance. If you can move into position to use those big big guns on the underside you can support folks taking silos while also protecting your own...not to mention being a general pain in the rear to all the enemy around the battlefield. Also, all of your teammates can spawn on the titan and quickly hop all over control points using drop pods.

The only reasons NOT to move the titan would be if you're worried about the guns getting blown off or to make it more difficult to board. I've seen people incredibly reluctant to try and board a titan that's off on the corner of the map.

i hate it when the titans are moving and we are attacking or defending...but something else pisses me off as well

its the IDIOTS who man the AA guns on the titan...then proceed to shoot the enemy titan....while the shield is STILL UP....all it does it provide more crap for the server to process, all the bullets hitting the titan shield and flashing as they hit...i think that causes a lot of lag too.

these idiots will sit there firing away for 20 minutes straight...doing zero damage to anything....fucking morons.

That's not server lag, that's your graphics card not able to keep up with the effects.

What needs to be done is have the titan not able to move once the shields are down.  Like, say, since they diverted energy from the egines to keep the shields up, which got overwhelmed from the silo missiles, now the engines are fried too.

The only time people don't want it moving is while they are attacking or defending (always when the shields are down).

On a side note, the knives seem very...  particular.  LionEyez reminded me of a time when I tried to knife someone.  He was prone and never moved.  I ran up, proned next to him and started knifing.  Each time I heard the damn thing impact on him, and it was the third swipe (by which he turned to me and nearly killed me) that it finally registered the knife and killed him.

The titan coding compared to BF1942s ship coding is alot better..


I couldn't stand standing on a ship in BF1942 when it was moving..

But in 2142 it isn't that bad...


Its not great.. but its not totally fucked up either..



I'm fine with commanders moving the titan before the shield goes down, but when it does, please stop moving it..

Where ever you go people are still going to get onto the titan, so just accept the fact that a few of your squads are going to have to defend it.

You know....people move the titans all the time and it only causes me massive lag like 10% of the maps I do. So yeah there is some buggy lag but I'm willing to bet that over 1/2 of the people who bitch about it get the lag because of their system, not because of the bug.

While some servers can handle titan mode just fine, others (the ones with open slots) can barely run 2142.

Personally I think that, until Dice can fix the coding with the titan, the titan should lose the ability to move once its shield has been destroyed.

I'm not saying that moving them isn't good, it's a key part of the game. Just at the moment it dosn't work for most people, so othe people just need to use some self-control and keep them where they are. If they want to strategicly place them at the beginning of the round I reckon that's fine, I can handle a bit of lag, just the constant moving makes a game unplayable.

@ pinioncorp, good to see that people were actually reading what I was constantly typing.
