Why No Love for the Titan?

The G o D roster has such disdain for us, Titans. Is it just a backlash against years of forced [i]Titan-ish[/i] gameplay under the UNSC banner or a deeper compensation mechanism? (Can you show me on the doll where Master Chief gave you a bad touch?) I will admit I am not a NASA trained scientist, nor did I go to college as a physics major.... but I do hold two Bachelor's degrees (Sciences, not Arts) in chemistry and biology. I am unable to match the purely cerebral exercises of Gigasparrow astrophysics, but I do know how many hits it takes to get to the center of a Fallen Vandal... Answer = [b]One Fist of Havoc [/b] . Okay, silliness aside - I do find it funny, the quips about Titan school and comments like "...the drunk Titans are stumbling out of the bar" as the City is beseiged. Yet I must ask, why there is no voice for this minority class; after all the Titans are the new salt of this Fallen Earth. We are the wall-builders, the ancient and legendary line of defense. We held that line so Warlocks could go to school and study the Traveller, we kept the city safe while the Hunters ranged beyond the walls - out there in the wild. Out there, that is; until they finally figured out that they really would be better off inside with the rest of us, taking showers and using indoor plumbing (Dirty Hunters.. phew). With all of these things, I would think the Titans would be respected if not revered. So, Guardians of Destiny, why is there no love for the humble Titan? After all, when Destiny launches - who will be able to offer tips and news on Titan gameplay if none of you are taking up that Mantle as a primary class? Maybe a new segment for the show will have to emerge. Someone will need to help inform your listeners , maybe it could be called - [u]I Don't Know, Ask A Titan[/u]. P.S. I am split between the Watts and Derrick debate... the answers regarding your various reasons for aforementioned Titan bashing may very well cast the deciding vote.

  • This is all probably an unfortunate result of having the least information about the Titan class. Hunters have been featured in the Thank You vid, the Warlock's abilities have been shown in the E3 demo and the "Out Here in the Wild" Vidoc extensively, and the concept of magic in a shooter such as this also brings intrigue to the Warlock. As for Hunters, people somehow get the idea that their archetype befits their sniper whoring tendencies better with the sneaky cape and hood outfit. You may also be right about the desire for playing an archetype that is "something other than the Chief".

    • I, as soon as seeing the Titan and reading about them and the races, as compared to the other classes, instantly felt drawn to be an Exo Titan. I don't know why, as I am more of the intellectual at school, but I feel a personal connection within myself that draws to that militarism and intelligent power in the Titan, as I am too, becoming more physically imposing and more intelligent all the time. In essence, I see the Titan class as a reflection of myself, with the Exo going along with my personality-to an extent. Also, I have to mention it. The Meta.

    • I'm a hunter... I bathe... occasionally... in the juicy blood of my victims! Never mind that sounded really messed up, but in all seriousness, the titans have to have some smarts in them, they built the wall after all, right? And the ones that haven't died are also smart enough not to run straight into the enemies and get themselves killed. Also they too have space magic like all of you warlocks, so if you think about it, your a lot alike, except for the fact that your not alike at all, but never mind that. You know what, I can sum up one thing from this, that I can ramble easily, oh and also that titans have smarts in them, some more than others but still, I have a question for you, why all the hate. #hunters rule!!!

    • Right now I am at 75% Warlock, 20% Titan and 5% Hunter. But I can't wait till the beta to have a better understanding to make my final choice.

    • I too follow the teachings of Leroy Jenkins and will not be kept down by The Man. I will have to decorate my cape with the most ornate of designs... (Titans have capes too, right?) so that the Titan-haters of the G.O.D.P. crew will have something to enjoy as they will most certainly be lagging behind me, nay, ALL of us Titans, as we charge into all battles loudly and proudly. We are Titans, hear us roar. Like Tigerman.

      • It's funny because I have been drawn to the Titan from the first time I saw the three classes. The show offs can have the flashy showy characters with their blink ability and nova bombs. Titans will be the ones they need to turn to when stuff goes pear shaped.

          When I roll a Titan, I will be anything but humble. I want to Leroy Jenkins everywhere. EVERYWHERE! [spoiler]...everywhere[/spoiler]

            • I actually love the Titan :3 When the beta comes out next year I will probably play as the Titan first, followed by Hunter then Warlock (Never been one for arcane users in games ^_^;;)
