If I'm honest, i love the new look queens and titans when it comes to looks, but there are a handful of gameplay and graphics issues.
QUEENS:
I have always loved queens because they are balanced monsters and put in appropriate waves. But the new ones have dmg/visibility issues. The red ones shots are so hard to see and they do incredible damage for a low-wave monster. The blue ones seem okay, but on some maps they camo really good !!
TITANS:
I love the sandwich-throwing ones to bits! DEATH WITH DA CHEEZ SANWICH!!! But the EMP ones with the electro rocks brought my usually >50 FPS down to 10. The electro-bolt is a bit annoying because it can kill through walls, destroying a gang of noobs that may be standing linking behind a 2-sided wall.

but overall, I like the looks, they are so much better than the originals!

you will get used to them, as everyone else did to the sliths, wail lords, fury titans (which are gone now) and every other new monster
Its Pronounced Taz-Cross-Blade, not Tazer-Blade, not Taz-Crows-Blade, not Taco-Blade, Taz-Cross-Blade
err... ok. I just wanted to know others' opinions and any ways to fight them in particular. And I KNOW the graphical issue can be fixed. At this rate I will never tank EMP titan waves becuase one minute I'll be on one side of the map the next I'll be on the other with no adren...
Yea, many people fear changes. I remember at some point, when they mixed up the monster order, people started to whine how tough it was (ie: poison sliths on luci wave, seekers on wave 11, on & on).
Give it some time, and eventually, you'll be accustomed to these monsters ;)

The difference between successful people from others is
not in the lack of strength,
not in the lack of knowledge,
but rather in the lack of will.

The new queens are awesome! The only problem I've noticed with the new monsters is that there are so many additional graphics with their projectiles that there is almost too much going on when there are a large number of monsters. I'm not talking about a decrease in FPS. It's more that there is just a big haze and lack of clarity. I can't really describe it.
As for how to fight the new queens, a reflective weapon works well just like it does against the old queens.
The new titans are rather unbecoming. There's just something about having sandwiches thrown at me that doesn't seem as threatening as rocks. :faroah:
Good job on the new monster graphics, projectiles, and sounds! :cheers:

After playing with these Sandvich titans, I feel like the meshes are a bit big. Once you got 4 or 5 titans on ya, you can't really see what you are shooting at. My screen gets buried in bread, then I ghost.
I think they should be mini cheese burgers instead :D
Another thing I wish to point out is the lightning titan. From what I hear, people were complaining how noisy the fury titans were so they are on break. Losing an important creature that's a signature to wave 15 will take awhile to get used to, but if noise was the issue the first place, then I have a feeling that the lightning titans will not last long since they rawr up a hurricane.

Uh Jon if you are having that much of a problem with them then you may want to upgrade your video card. If your still on a sub 8000 Nvidia or bub 3800 AMD then you need an upgrade.
No shame, no dishonor, will run away to fight another day!

Sorry I haven't been around to tweak the monster waves which I had intended to do. My internet connection has been horrible after it rains, my internet will be fine for 1 minute then go down the next.... and of late it been raining alot and so I have a hard time playing the game and getting a feel for the new creatures...
