    Yes, someone please please purleeeez define the controls that apply to pods. And don’t say “use J to go sideways” because I remapped all my keys out of the box and don’t know whatthe fuck J does on your setup!

    And thankyou 🙂

    It was just a couple of days ago that it was explained to me that there were pod ejector doors on the titan decks… I’d never seen them before and couldn’t work out how ppl were podding over to the enemy titan.

    😆

    If you go to where the titan gun consoles are, but instead of using them, drop down into the trench/corridor adjacent to them, there is a door or two that takes you into an ejector seat and it works like the seats in an APC.

    three on each side
    And What wipers said works a treat. press “backwards” if you want to land on the top of your own titan. But not too far or you will end up over the other side as I did tonight 😛

    The pods controls are exactly the same as infantry controls. Mouse to look around and WSAD keys to move forwards / backwards etc. It’s like when you’re in a parachute, but quicker. My pro tip is to look downwards as soon as you launch, I find it much easier to steer when looking straight down for some reason.

    I’m sure all this was in the Titan training video that was played when you first ran the game 😕

    You can’t steer parachutes anymore though can you?

    I thought the training vid was only in the demo?

    I have not seen it in the full game.

    It plays when you first run the game and a think you can also access it from the BFHQ menu in game (if you havent deleted it 😉 )

    Don’t remember it being in the demo. Thought the demo map was conquest?

    As soon as you launch press the S key – or whatever key you use to go backwards. That will get you above the titan and then you can steer down as normal.

    You’re a star wipes’. managed to pod from my titan and landed on my titan – finally can attack the attackers from the rear without having to pod back up after flying miles in the wrong direction
