Faster way towards Cargo Deck on EU Titan..

Hi all.. This is just a little 'trick' that some of you might find useful to use..
I know I do :-).. It could be possible that some of you already know this trick, but in any case I haven't seen anyone on any server doing it, so I thought that perhaps people haven't paid attention to it yet..

I noticed when defending the EU Titan, a lot of players who want to take out the enemy inside the Titan from behind them, take a Troop Transporter, fly it from the front of the Titan, towards the back of it, just to get out there, and try to kill a few enemies from behind.
But I find this relatively pointless because first of all: You waste a perfectly good Troop Transporter that could be used more significant by other Teammates. 2nd: It does kind of attract the enemy's attention when a Troop Transporter lands on the rear of the Titan. And 3th: It just takes too long (taking off, flying, maneuvering, landing,..) and while you're doing the flying, you're pretty vulnerable.

So here's a way to get towards the back of the Titan (Cargo Bay or whatever it's called) and on top of the Titan with ease.

http://video.google.nl/videoplay?docid= … 2986711620

The video is just a slide-show of screens..
I hope everybody can see the screens alright, if not, I could also post the Screens here..
*** Since a lot of people can't see the video: here are the Screens in order:

http://www.linuxhelp.be/tim/files/screen005.jpg
http://www.linuxhelp.be/tim/files/screen006.jpg
http://www.linuxhelp.be/tim/files/screen007.jpg
http://www.linuxhelp.be/tim/files/screen008.jpg
http://www.linuxhelp.be/tim/files/screen009.jpg
http://www.linuxhelp.be/tim/files/screen010.jpg
http://www.linuxhelp.be/tim/files/screen011.jpg

The major advantage I find, is that most of the time you can get a few kills while under way (since you're walking by the platforms the enemies land on, and have the advantage of being on an upper level), and you're a lot more stealthy than when you fly the Transporter. + if an enemy Troop Transporter flies over and you're an Engi.. well.. *Kaboom!* ;-)..

Hope you all find this somewhat useful..
Some comment whether or not you find this useful would be nice.. :-)

Grtz, D34TH_D34L3R
(PS: I tried to post this at Techniques, ... But it seems like you have to get permission or something to be able to do that? Maybe an Admin/Moderator could move this thread to Techniques, Strategies, ... ?)

hmm.. can't see your vid, but it's probably the titan pods that has been covered many times already...

Strange, seeing as the video is hosted by video.google..
And no it arent the pods, since I find that they have about the same effect as the Troop Transporter, though they go a lot faster of course.. But still; no ability to kill while you're underway and not very stealthy either..
If more people have the problem that they can't see the video, I could also post the screens?

I could see the vid but it isnt clear, do you just walk over the top?

Why dont you just explain that on the aircraft deck you go to the supporting pillars, climb it, and then go over the roof to the back?

Not very complicated for a description!

I hate words? LOL? Because I thought that it might be clearer by using screenshots.. Guess not. My bad..

I think the reason why some of you can't see the video is because it's .WMV made with Windows Movie Maker..
And yet again, Windows fails.. :-)

naah no pods, he does it on foot. Good trick actualy if the back deck has alot of enemies.
From the front deck he jumps on the front left/right corner (outside the shield) and than climbs up to where the AA guns are etc...

i find it alot quicker to use the pods at the side of the 'hanger' then 'fly' the pod to the back area and kick ass from there inwards. Assault being the safest way so u can heal yourself, but recon could be good once i get the 'invisible thingy'

Yes that indeed goes faster, but you can't shoot people while you're in a Pod + You really draw much attention to yourself.. I personally notice enemy pods on Titans rather quickly & go off to shoot them.. Which isn't hard, since they're blinded by the smoke their in once landed.. So all you have to do is shoot into the smoke..

i use the pods to get to the top hopefully landing on a transport ship or somebody else.....then i drop down into one of those vents then take a defensive position killing anubody that drops down into the vent.... hahaha its real fun as sniper with the clymores and the rdx....thats how i have gotten all of my explosive pins

Why didn't you just use fraps instead of the SS?

Because fraps would lag the sh*t out of my system.. :-P
I already lag like hell when there's a huge Titan fight going on..
Maybe if I find a server with BattleRecorder..
Sorry for that though..

Is it possible to get on the enemy titan when the shields are still activated? My last titan round I saw the titan being destroyed from the inside.

Yes it seems to be possible to do that due to glitches..
There are many topics about this subject, this is one that I wrote:
http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=50879
There are several answers in there to your question :-)
But please stay on topic..
This is a way to go from the front to the back of the Titan without Podding nor flying..
