there's only 4 good, popular, low-ping titan servers near me (california) and 3 of them are moving titan servers.
i don't understand why anyone paying a lot of money to host a 2142 would enable moving titans. the gameplay is TERRIBLE:
- nonstop topside titan gun spam means it's hard to get a gunship or a transport out. more than half the time you're dead before you can get away
- nonstop lower gun spam on 3-4 cap points on most maps means constant death without escape. no reason to stay and defend a silo, no reason to try to bring in mixed tactics (apc + tank + infantry) when the titan gun can just spray it all to death in 8 seconds
- 7+ members of the team will not even be on the ground (titan gunners plus engineers trying to get repair points). this can be a very significant percent of the total team size, sitting on the titan not capping points. why bother when you can go 30-0 without even using both hands?
- people on the ground and gunships waste time taking out titan guns over and over, and they are usually instantly repaired. that's even more people not actually playing the game (capping silos). between titan gunners and people shooting back at the titan guns, you can have half your team not contributing to the game
- the constant noise of the weapons and explosions is annoying. the topside guns also make it difficult or impossible to see out of the titan deck when they spam the shields, which throws up a giant white light flare
- when you can pod to most or all of the cap points right from the titan, there is no reason to worry about squad leader survival, or intelligent beacon placement, or strategically using apc's as respawn points, or having the added benefit when you take over an enemy silo of reducing the enemy spawn point/vehicle availability options. being able to basically spawn anywhere via titan pods removes a huge amount of strategy from the game
titan guns turn the game into a no-strategy, loud, annoying, not-fun spamfest with half the people in the game not even trying to cap points.
please, PLEASE if you are currently hosting a moving titan server, consider changing it to a stationary titan server!
