PLEASE, do not move the titans to engage eachother. For the last 2 days I've had commanders to move the titans into eachother when shields go down and it lags worse than Iron Gator did for BF2. Yeah you can pod to the other titan, but they can do the same to you, so there is no strategic benefit from this. The area around the titan gives me a constant 15 fps (and I have a good comp) for about 300m. That is unplayable unless you spam claymores or nades. Besides the lag, it causes your titan to die much faster, which is stupid.

I squeel with joy when I find a server which says "commanders please don't move the titan" and I've witnessed many a lynching of a commander who dares to click.
Actually, If your team is winning (ie. you have shields and they don't) moving the titan within boarding distance makes sense, just be sure to stop it once the shields go down and you have to fight inside it.
Plus you can use the titans guns to defend spawn points if you parkt he titan over the central area of the map.
Either way EA is addressing the issue in the next patch, where a titan will be unable to move once its shields go down.
So in summary:
Shileds up = Ok to move
Shileds down = Stop moving the DAMNED TITAN!!

You know I get the opposite, jackasses try to TK me when I DONT move the freakin titan. Ive been kicked because I wont. I even got banned for apparently not doing my job for not moving it. Ive even had people (Not BF2 vets) get into screaming at me over comm for not fighting for that matter. I never move that freakin thing. I guess I will just keep getting kicked at the expense of keeping my game running smooth.
The worst are the commanders that put the titan directly over a silo. If it's the other team's commander I let it be, one less silo to worry about because even if they cap it the missiles will still hit their own titan.
it's also annoying when the commanders refuse to stop moving them once the shields are down.

whever i command i move the titan over rough ground or a large body of water to keep the APCs away. it pisses me off when i see a commander move the titan towards the silos, it just makes em a bigger target
I am still tempted to crash the 2 titans...
When i do, ill post a screeny

I don't care about the bording aspect, but those titan guns are pretty valuble to waste hovering in a corner. I prefer to move the Titan to where it's central between silos so the Titan's cannons can rain down on enemy trying to take a silo. It's basically the replacement for artillery on the Titan maps.
the only problem i've noticed with the titans moving is that people get stuck in the walls of the titan, not much lag here
oh and BTW, how do you stop moving the titan?

The only problem i have it is with my Drone.
I can deploy it in a great place and slowly watch it move 10 metres away and turn to face a wall.

I've "heard" that after the next patch a titan won't be able to move after its sheilds go down...hope I heard right
By clicking on it. i.e select move to button, and that just click on the titan.farmerfez wrote:

Glad to see that not only me having a problem with titans moving in the game. There are times when I can't even play on the ground when titans moving. Some one said, move titan in the middle of the battlefield. WRONG. By positioning that barge in a middle makes it mo vulnerable to attack by air and ground. Plus guys on AA guns on the ground would thank you for titan gun distraction pins cause all they have to do is start shooting them down and getting their awards. I know some of the players got better computers than me ( my is about 4 year old, and I know it's time for a new one), but I'm not about dish out $1000.00 or more for a $50 game. Respect for other players is greatly appreciated.
Does any one remember if there was such lag when first beta came out?
