What changes, specifically? I know the tweak they did to the gravity has basically made the heavy-armored tank completely useless, doh!
APC drop pods are now useless for travelling, which was my absolute favorite feature. Titan shields are restored to full after a short time so god help you if the guys screwing around in your aircraft and APCs don't get you to the enemy Titan. Extra bugs added for extra fun; I especially like the disappearing Titan bug. Hopefully the bugs will get fixed, but the terrible "walk everywhere" gameplay will remain. I don't like playing a game where I don't actually get to contribute to the fight because I can't get there. If I wanted to spend all my game time walking around, I'd play an MMO.
haha, good 'ol Oblivion... a fun walk-around game if your gfx card doesn't explode first!
I seriously hope they fix up the exploding-Titan "feature". Nothing's worse than losing a round when your team was by far the quickest onto the titan. I thought the whole point of the Titan Mode was to destroy the enemy Titan... but if you don't do it by way of the core, it doesn't count?! Weeiiirrrdddd
What were the APC drop pods like before? I've only ever known them to be a certain way... definitely not my preferred way of travelling to an enemy flag (there's no way they won't notice you're there)
Anyways, it was a "tuning beta" so errors are expected. I don't mind seeing the bugs now, since it means EA will know they exist and have the time to fix them. Whether they actually do fix them is another question, but at least they can now try
I'll wait for the demo to be released before passing judgement
the height they would get when launching to a titan was the way it was anywhere... now they have it set to maybe 50 feet in the air when not close to a titan.
I get alot more kills now that everyone isnt just podding to the next flag... people actually have to drive their or run there map isnt the big excluding silo 3 and 4 the ones right outside of each base. all the other points are clumped together with 5 being at the center (the one with the walk) you could get to 2 and 1 easily from there... and have the anti tank guns on each side to defend/assault those flags

Well "close" is a subjective term. I don't think of them as "close."
I'll just say that when playing, I have to spend 80% of my time on travelling from silo-to-silo with no enemy contact; thusly I'd rather spend 100% of my time not playing.

I dislike the game for more reasons than just the titan mode. The exciting "walk everywhere" feature will be a part of every map and mode if I know DICE/EA . I'll continue to retain my $50 until they make it fun for me, which may never happen.

Time Machine?
In a way yes. My future self sent me a message telling me that GC would go back to playing 42 and I should remember how to play it again. How did you know?

Drat! When does that happen? I totally need to fish up my old '42 cds, if they still exist intact, yikes!

Oh, and all I know about when the switch happens is about a week after 2142 comes out. DaG starts a revolution, and much blood is shed. Mostly his
I suggest we use the Prime Paradox of time travel to our benefit and send someone back to eliminate DaG before he gets tall enough to sit at a Pc without a booster seat. It will change the present as we knew it but I am thinking that would be the best part!...............HaHa
