They built a lot into this game that alleviates the 'getting owned by more skilled players' problems, though it does take a little while to find your rhythm. My first couple of hours I got destroyed but then pretty quickly started having a lot of fun. It just clicks all of a sudden, and then you don't even think about it - you're just running around on walls, racking up kills on grunts and bots so you can summon your titan faster. The bots are absolutely essential to that rhythm, it feels a lot like a moba. Except more like CoD. And Assassin's Creed. But the bots also make it so that you can contribute a great deal (particularly in the main mode, Attrition) without being a pro. The smart pistol also ties into that as well, because it's the fastest way to rack up kills on grunts. It's funny that people rage at me for using a 'noob weapon' when I use it, because they don't realise that the point of it is to get your titan out faster by racking up bot kills. The fact that it doubles as a massive middle finger up to "noob weapon!" criers when I kill them with it is just a bonus.
Once you're in the Titan, you can just as easily get kills with aiming skill as by running over them or punching them. It's great fun. I actually like being in the titan so much I thought I'd prefer the mode where everyone starts out in Titans and the aim is to destroy all the opposing team's titans, but funnily enough I prefer it when it's got that rhythm, of starting out on foot and then summoning your Titan a minute or so in. Also, part of the fun is being one of the only titans on the map.
I feel like I will get bored of it quite quickly though, I'm already itching for more modes and unlockables. I mean, it's more than enough already, but this is one game where I'd actually use all of the stuff that the later CoD games have crammed in. If you stuffed it into a model like Planetside 2 ... jesus.
