I thought Catapult's purpose was to be a fast vertical level-change for Titans, seeing as how their other two jump alts are very slow and floaty (i.e. makes the Titan a big piñata in the air).
Catapult doesn't give a long burn time like Improved Control, or a high vertical distance like Increased Height, but it does lift the Titan off the ground very rapidly. It seems only to really be useful with a quick double-tap. If you're looking for extended straight flight, use Improved Control instead. It gives you the added horizontal thrust. Catapult is just for a short vertical liftoff for twitch-dodge purposes.
That's just what I've noticed. I haven't played any PvP in quite some time, so don't know if people are still using it.

I understand that and alot of people attest to using the catapult in such a way...but the same can be done with increased control... When I use increased control I use it with intermittent or periodical bursts(double-taps) to quickly dodge and evade...but if this is catapults intended purpose I shouldnt be able to do the same with increased control...especially considering it has no other functionality... The fact that everything the catapult can do can be completely mimiced "exactly" by increased control I feel shows that its not working properly...if youve watched any halo 5 beta gameplay or played halo 4's flood mode I feel the catapult should be more akin to that...or even the Cabal thrusters which quickly and nimbly navigate them a short distance from harms way in an instance...I thank you for the detailed feedback though...

I like Improved Control much better too. I wouldn't mind a Catapult buff, really kick that speed into overdrive for a very short time.

Mhmm...^-^...

Double taping the other jumps is just as fast as catapult if not faster. i use it to go, woof woof woof verticallly. But it would be nice to have a thruster as fast as blink, sans the actual blink. If it had this, then i would have no qualms with shoulder tackle, as people think it's some kind of great skill because it ohk them, but it's actually not. i really use it as what i thought catapult does, as a way to get around. Most people die because they turned a corner or were hit from behind anyways, which is their fault entirely. They would be OHK by any other class in that situation with a shotgun anyways. If you die by tackle from a Titan at 12 o'clock then you're just a bad player.

Dude, me too!!! With the whole get around with shoulder charge!!!
-
would be nice if catapult was as fast as shoulder charge in terms of burst. would help save my titan alot during situations while im an inch away from cover but to slow to jump to the side of it.

Haha true that...I use increased control and move quicker than catapult (and most hunters -_^) and still have the option to go higher than two feet if I so choose... And all I use titan shoulder bash for is to maneuver the map...anyone that dies by that move when I do it were normally in the wrong place at the right time and accidentally helped in stopping my momentum haha... I feel shoulder bash is insanley easy to stop honestly as far as offense is concerned...they literally are gonna be running directly at your face and offering no counter fire...just line a couple headshots or pull out a shotty, guarenteed kill every time haha...I shake my head at fellow titans who try to shoulder bash me...^-^

Edited by TwoCoins: 11/13/2014 5:25:51 PMYep, jump height does what it's intended, and controlled jump does what it's intended AND what the current catapult does. But with it's increase thruster duration you get more momentum, by propelling yourself by tapping the button. Agreed about bash, i just cant even deal with the kids on these forums telling me i'm bad, because i think the tackle is bad. Their argument is because it's OHK it's so amazing since it OHK kills them all the time (i'm the one apparently who don't know how to use it) when I rarely get hit by it ever anymore if not ever. So i know how to avoid it almost entirely, and i know it's not worth much as a OHK as i would OHK them with a shotty any moved to my next target anyways. It's just funny how the Titan has the worst melee out of the 3 classes and he's built to be melee class. Catapult,blink would change my stance on tackle quite a bit tho.
