1. So p. much, it's the lack of a tacty-mappy? I'm sure we can find an arty person or a google-fu expert to conjure up a map and MS-paint some markers to overlay upon it. I'm not at all familiar with Titanfall's maps, so I'm not much help in that regard.
-I know it's a facility with bunkers, and a lab, and stuff... so I'm thinking either a Spectre manufacturing plant from the first game, or the secret Titan labs PvP map from the second.

2. Well, that was sort of a thing of Titanfall 2, I think... it kinda split the fanbase for reasons you already understand.
-'pain' would depend on how the pressure-sensors react to an explosive wave shearing through the metal skin for [i]that infinitely-long fraction of a second[/i]. And maybe the warning of bleeding-out hydraulic fluid, reactor-coolant, and whatever other bodily-fluids a hyper-adanced Titan uses...

[u]I don't want to try making excuses for something someone else did with incoherent technical-babble, [/u][s]it could also simply be an emulated emotion, and not a genuine reaction of Alma.[/s] (<---terrible reason)

Random electrical shorts/surges are unlikely to be pleasant upon the experimental processor and AI architecture. [i]At least until those circuits get manually truncated.[/i]

3. Anyways, sorry to see you go. Hopefully something comes your way that gets your interest.
