BF2S Forums titan pods

not annoyed, i just kill them. as you are boarding their titan you can see their positions so you just take a higher one if possible and kill them out there. if the defenders are in the vents then you just go with a group and its easy to clear. (gotta have an assault with defibs)

Perfectly viable tactic. Yes, it's annoying, but so many tactics are, mainly because they result in someone's death.

I do find it BS that a pod can blow up a walker for example. There does need to be some changes with the pod system, but as far as you stated it is fine.

*cough* claymores

I was going to specifically mention that too. I hate those damn APMs, they always scatter my entrails all over the place

I see it happen that way as well, but i've also seen perfect hits where a single pod blows up a 100% health walker.

i love it, u just land a directly on top of the titan, toss some grenades with you extra grenade unlock, cleanup with the Lambert, then jump down the hole with your knife and go to town, throw down an RDX pack waiting for a noob to jump down the death whole or bust out the knife, they generally don't have time to attack, as there is about a 1 second delay after u land in the hole, and u always want to lay an APM should they decide to throw grenades down the death hole.

No the pod is fun to use easy to destroy stuff and that also there is a high chance of you getting killed when you land on an enemy vehicle.

It doesn't work nearly so well as it did in the demo when u land on vehicles, they almost never get destroyed and u 95/100 times die

The walker would have to be fairly damaged for a drop pod to destroy it. I've seen recon pod drop on top of a walker and RDX it.

That'd be me.. LOL!
I love that technique, it pwnz, (and a lot of the time it's the only freaking way of getting near that damn walker!)
just pod-launch yourself out of the titan or Troop Transporter and land on the enemy Walker, put some RDX on, jump off and run like hell! The Walker most of the time never knows what hit him!

Lol, now today I had the freakiest experience..
I was playing Titan mode on Minsk, and I wanted to pod myself onto a Walker a but further away of our Titan, so I could put RDX on it an blow it..
So as usual, I jump into the Pod, launch myself, aim for the Walker, see an enemy Troop Transporter Ship, think; "Well, I could just as well hit that hoping for more kills..", aim for the Transporter, hit it..  and..
I was ON the Transporter! It didn't blew up on impact with the Pod, I was just on top of it, so I put RDX on it, fell off and blew it..

It seems in BF2142 you can surf anything! Accipiters, Troop Transporters, .. lol !
Didn't get any screenshots since everything happened in like 15 seconds or so..
If I would have the RDX already in my hands (since I was going for the Walker) I probably would've fell off the Transporter before getting the chance to RDX it..

Next you'll be saying people shouldn't camp defend their titan.

is this the kamakazie i play with on 2142 sometimes?

As for the APM comments above, just drop down as carefully as you can and dont move. If you see an APM then just crouch and walk over it, it dosn't go off. Course if you're a prick like me they'll be sitting there with an RDX pack ready for the clever ones

EDIT: Trigg damnit use my sig, I spent a whole bloomin 5 mins doing that for you!

When my titan is getting attacked, i always pod up to the top. I make sure that i enter the transport the enemy had just flewn in so that way my teammates can spawn there... or i rig it with RDX that way, when some baddies spawn on it... BOOM. Plus, if i know that a lot of people are coming down thru the vents, i follow them and get a few knife kills. You're gonna hate me because i like leaving APMs and RDXs around
