Titans cannot move?

**QuickLightning** · 08-17-07, 01:20 AM

I'm not certain if this was discussed elsewhere, but I did a somewhat brief look across the forum and I didn't find anything much on this subject so i figured I'd ask.

I was squad leader on a titan map today and our commander wished to move the titan (I didn't realize this was even an option) and was wondering why it is disabled. I'm sure there are legitimate reasons, I am just curious.

it was disabled a lil while back on this server due to the lag issues they presented (hell they lag me on the initial load of entering them

)

I believe I saw somewhere that it might come back after the 1.40 patch or summat

Titan movement causes horrible lag and quite a few exploits/glitches.

It's configurable, but not desirable due to the amount of lag it introduces (a moving titan full of people can be hard on the server).

I have played on servers where they allow titan movement and it definitely introduces some interesting elements like titan coverage of silos, head to head titan battles (gunning the transports as they take off, pod-ing from one titan to the other), podding from the titan to some interesting locations, etc. etc. but I think the general consensus is that moving titans are bad for business...

That sounds like a lot of fun... I hope they do something about the lag issue/exploits then.

One server (I think it is a BROS server) has a rule that you can't move the titan past the first silo (obviously, the commander could keep moving the titan, but they would get kicked)...that way you get the best of both worlds.

By the time a titan assault begins it is stationary, so you get less lag. Typically a titan sitting between the two closes silos can hit both with the guns, so it those off limits unless you are daring...
