Just made my silver Titan commander badge last night and I need to get something off my chest.  I'm talking about timer campers, those that take a role (like squad member or leader) and just sit on the Titan and occupy a seat even though the Titan is nowhere near a strategic point, they don't actually fire the guns, and they don't listen to orders.  Last night I had a full 5 people on a team of 16 do this and it was infinitely frustrating as I couldn't kick them and offing them just got me team kill points.  I got no problem with this if the Titan is parked overlooking 3 or 4 points and the guns are being actually used, but I watch guys actually sit in the chair long after the gun is blown up, so obviously they're alt-tabbed out looking at German poo porn or something.  THEN, to top it off, when obviously our titan's shields came down and we were boarded, there they continued to sit while I and the rest of our team did our damndest to repel the boarding parties (futile when they also owned all the silos).

Now I did find a wierd bug (feature?) doing this, in that I couldn't do it more than once per person.  After the first time I blew someone out of the chair, my bullets magically passed through them for the rest of the game, which made it really frustrating when the someone actually needed the guns to support the guys on the ground.  As a commander, what can I do about this problem which is compounded on low player maps?

Have a squad of friends on your team at all times.
That's pretty much it.

Unless you get lucky while hopping from server to server in search of team work oriented players.

The sad thing about this game for me is that to have fun I need to be playing with a friend because it is the only way that I can play properly - just using a bit of teamwork.

Explain why you want to kick them, and then issue a kickvote. I'm always game for that (i hate it when people just issue a kickvote without giving a reason or a few minutes before a game ends, it's so useless EA should build it in the script so that a reason should be given and is displayed why you want to kick a player).

I hate it when i see people trying to get their armorbadge by just sitting in a tank and going nowhere. At least try to capture a flag or silo in the meanwhile.

ya i know what you mean... it has taken me awhile to find a cool clan but i have finally joined one: {TFL} The Front Line, they are good, we use team speak and tactically help each other... very efficient, lol taking out titans becomes so much easier in a team...

Rofl!  Why don't you play on our server?  If there are any idiots, just tell us and they're gone.

Maybe the people on the other team have secondary PCs with a "spy" on the other side. They would be able to know where everyone is at all times.
