Well...heres a story then~ Its the closing minutes of a capture the flag match, and my team has a single point advantage - but the enemy has our flag. Were playing on Boneyard, a winding series of desert canyons where small military bunkers are linked by aerial ziplines. I sprint out of our base and, jetting into the air, use a bunker wall to pick up some momentum. I fling myself off, grab a zipline, and gain more speed: then Im across a rooftop, through a short passageway, and up off the top of a defensive tower to ensure that I come down on the enemy base from above. Three enemy titans prowl the open area outside. Two are auto-titans, meaning that they are being controlled by the AI while their pilots are elsewhere. The third is manned. I activate my cloaking device to slip by them. The moment I touch the flag, Im highlighted on the HUD of every player on the map. I glance at my own titanfall timer. Thirty seconds to go. There are NPC soldiers in the enemy base, and each one felled cuts a few seconds off my titanfall timer. I stop, crouch, and kill a few more before rushing towards the precipitous drop to the desert floor. Leaping from the enemy base, I jump onto the roof of the manned enemy titan and unload half a clip into its innards. Its not enough to disable it, but its enough to make the pilot disembark to try to dislodge me. By that point Im away, jetting onto the next titan, buying myself the seconds I need to... My titanfall timer hits zero. I aim at a point on the ground in the midst of the enemy titans and hit the V key. My Ogre titan smacks into the ground on all fours, hunched like a silverback. I leap towards it and it holds out its arm to help me climb inside. As its interface comes online, Im already hammering the key to deploy electrified smoke. Then, in the midst of the chaos, Im away, thundering across the desert towards our base, carrying the enemy flag towards the line of friendly titans that stride out to meet me. It feels incredible.
