My current pick for GotY. And I hate CoD.
Fortunately they seem to have done away with almost everything I despised in CoD while throwing in piles of crazy awesome things. I'm so on...

Because the "Giant Fighting Robots" have the endurance of paper by my understanding... it's basically like a short term "Super Mode", you get a lot of powerful weapons but you're an easy target and you have a giant weak point on your back where an enemy pilot can kill you pretty easily...also every pilot starts play with an Anti-Titan Weapon...
So yeah... why ever get out? Because you're probably going to have to.
It's not that they're made of paper, it's that you can't regain health in a titan. Shields regen, but THOSE are made of paper, but the Titan's actual health does not. So, by sheer attrition, your titan is going to go belly up sooner or later.
They're still pretty durable if you know what you're doing though. But they won't last forever. And the new titan cooldown only starts after you lose your current titan.
Additionally, sometimes you really want to walk around. Respawn did a great job with the "normal" combat. Lots of movement and such. I for one often set my titan to AI and just kept running around. The permanent free running is just so damn fun.

Can you actually counter melee attacks from a titan when siting in a titan?
Not in the Beta you couldn't. However the Beta was a small sample of the final product (we only had 1 Titan model for example), so it's entirely possible it'll exist in the final game.
