IDK, there are good things and bad things. My biggest complaint is the art style, because on those big, destroyed maps, people REALLY blend in. It's hard to see folks from a distance, and as someone who played Black Ops II with a SCAR-H from a distance, it's frustrating.
However, I love the feel of the Titans. You don't feel like a cumbersome monster at all. The only thing that's a bit annoying there is I've been told someone was on me several times, only to hop out and have no one there. Then that electric smoke, it's garbage. I tried to hop on a few Titans, only to have the electric smoke get me. That's likely a go-to perk for people, if it's 100% effective at stopping a rodeo.
I have to agree about the art style. Every time someone rodeos me and I hop off to shoot them, I probably shoot the first magazine and miss 90% shots cos I cant see them on the damn titan. Same largely goes for the maps in general, but that's more dependant on the factions and map and location in said map.
Electric Smoke is great, but it's only really great for stopping that rodeo. You arn't gonna win a duel against another Titan if they are equipped with Vortex Shield and you with Electric Smoke. I think the balance there is actually pretty great/smart. For me, the single most dangerous thing in the game for me is to disembark to remove the rodeo-dude myself, I probably get killed in the process 8 times out of 10. But at the same time, I'm personally pretty strong in my Stryder (be it against titans or infantry) and the Stryder is really hard to manage without Vortex Shield cos it has so low shields/armor.
It really depends on the lobby though. I keep a titan loadout that is same as my "go to loadout" but with Electric Smoke instead of Vortex Shield. Typically I don't get rodeod all that much to justify using electric smoke but in this one lobby the other day I was getting rodeod constantly and I kept losing my life and my titan more to that than anything else. So for that I switched into the smoke loadout. But typically for me I just keep Vortex Shield cos it just is really really important for durability as a titan, especially as a Stryder.
As for the amount of games, I have trouble even playing 2 at the moment. I really love Thief and want to play it more... but Titanfall! Especially when I often have a Big Bang Theory-DVD in the drive and I have TF as digital, so when I'm like "Maybe I'll play like 20 mins", I've noticed it's clearly much likelier for me to just play TF than open the drawer with disc cases, take DVD out, insert it to its case, take Thief disc from it's case, insert it in, get back to the couch.. As opposed to "Xbox, go to Titanfall"
