BF2S Forums Titan Gameplay: Can It Be Improved?

i played titan mode for a while..

all i can say are two things:

1) too many damn campers there
2) if i find myself dying at least 4 times in a row, i just go take a silo and defend it. no sense going inside an enemy titan only to get blasted by an APM over and over again.


what they need to fix in that titan mode.....the damn LAG..

Making Titan not move at all is not fun, Titanguns become useless and the titan is the point of the entire mode. Being able to spawn on it and then use pods from titan to any nearby silo is great.

Conquest:

1) Survive spawning at the flag since there's usually people coming from all over the place.

2) Survive APMs around every single corner

3) Survive RDX cars coming randomly/Around corners

4) Survive sentry drones from 360 degrees.

5) Survive all the guys trying to shoot you while going to the other flag

6) Pray to god it isnt RDX'd or APM'd

7) Survive capturing the flag after thee neurtalize when they're all throwing nades at you

8) Rinse and repeat for the next flag.


Titan is just another location.

P.S. If EA makes it so you can't put down APM etc on the titan, it wouldnt make sense.

*Put down apm on the dirt ground. Attempt to on the solid metal ground of a titan "Unable to deploy APM, Cause people will whine about dying"*

Get lost with this post GUYS LIKE YOU ALWAYS FUCK UP THE GAME AND SOMEHOW YOU GET EA TO LISTEN TO THIS KIND OF BULLSHIT. BF2 is a faliure since 1.12 and was destroyed by its own community thanks noobs for cring everywhere we love the delay time in between crouching and standing up hopping and all the reductions to the C4 throwing that you halped EA to accomplish and destroy the gameplay. GET LOST WITH THIS POST.
My opinion is that EA listens to the few that dont really care to play the game just because there complaining about stuff like this. STFU.

Reduce the C4 a bit more and the result will be that when you click it will stick to your nuts.

yes, support whoers nade spam the whole time u try to attack

Titan mode is all about speed.

The quickest and most effective attack/defence will generally win.

in theory this is true
in practice lag will f*ck you up if you do anything that requires more than an ounce of processing power

the nadespamming is the problem it is impossible to get through, remove the nades from the ships and things would look allot better.

Thank you Fates, there is one other intelligent person out there besides me about titan assault.

The way I see it, it's a game of rock-paper-scissors, that analogy they used in the making-of video.

1) Titan shields go down: assault titan, blow reactor panels until you succeed and RDX the core to hell; do it fast, and without mercy.  WIN!

2) If defense proves too formidable, capture and hold all ground-side silos.  This is far easier if your shields are still up.  Eventually they get bored and launch an all-out assault to claim them back.  By this point, you should have one or two squads re-engage the Titan assault, as their defense should be weakened. 

3) If they assault your titan, send one or two squads (clans would know well never to leave it undefended) to hold it, while the rest are either holding ground-side silos, or launching a counter-attack.  Odds are good they'll give up when they're getting grenaded and RDX'ed enough times to blow a hole in the fabric of the space-time continuum and suddenly find themselves playing on Battlefield 2 again.  Keep defending until they launch ground-side assault to take back the silos, go to step 2.

It takes a lot of coordination.  Squad leaders should have VOIP to relay commands better, it helps.

I have an easy fix.  Allow EMP nades to disable APM mines, but only for a set amount of time.  This would make storming titan hallways with a good squad insanely fun.  Lob some EMP nades, some smoke nades and CHARGE.  Just my 2¢.

That's a great idea! The idea would be logical too. The detectingdevice to trigger the APM would be on the fritz too when hit by a EMP.

If there are going to be changes, make them small, and do not let them take away from the way the Titan is defended now.

Perhaps the energy shield that the support carries should have an alternate fire option. With the left mouse you would deploy it as normal, with the right you would equip it as a portable shield (like SWAT teams have). The energy to support protection would be more than needed when it's deployed as a static shield, thus the hits needed to take it down would be less compared to the static version.
This way you could storm a corridor better than you could now. Or you could jump into an airduct more safely.

Because how much i like things to stay the same, not being able to defuse the APM's in the vents is stupid. It gives 100% protection/chance to kill towards the defender without the enemy being able to do something about it.

On the other hand, like many already have said, big changes on the defenders side would ruin the game.

Teamwork is the key in Titan mode and if people playing would pay attention to the role they play in a team, team would become more balanced.
Fast decicive action as a team, that's the key.

To often i see someone flying a chopper, a support guy wandering the silos, while a medic plays second gun in a walker that's at the otheer side of the playing field.

Decide on your role, look at the teams, see what team could use you in your role, join that team, and ask the teamleader for orders.
On their turn, teamleader should look at the playing field, decide where the best place for  their team is, and when in doubt ask order from the commander.

APM, RDX, and the like aren't really obsticles to a coordinated squad.  If you've been stymied by them so far, you need some different teamates and tactics.
