Did you guys use the titan a lot? Did you unlock the various stuff for it?
During my first few hours I thought titan fighting was very meaty and a bit tedious. A titan has 3 layers you need to strip away, and that's a lot. But if you stick with it and spec your titan to suit your playstyle, I find that titan gameplay becomes very enjoyable and there's a lot of finesse. Here's a few things to consider if anyone is interested:
1. Try to avoid just looking at eachother and turning it into a slugfest. Just think of the combat as a larger scale FPS. This may sound like a stupid thing to say since it seems obvious, but a lot of people don't think about peeking, standing in cover, breaking line of sight and that sort of thing. Try to get pot shots in from weird angles where the enemy titan has difficulty engaging, try to move around and get in their flank etc.
2. Don't just frantically go after killing the enemy titan, take it slow and make sure you don't go down yourself. Fights don't always reach a quick conclusion like in infantry combat (where people drop like flies). Don't get impatient, basically. 
Survivability is a big part of Titan combat. Use dashes and the vortex shield to keep yourself in the game (and to allow your shield time to regenerate). There's no shame in retreating faaaar back if it means you can get your weapons reloaded and your shield charged.
3. Doomed titans! When dooming a titan, you should try to do one of two things. First, you can instakill the titan by landing ONE melee hit. This is recommended if the enemy is very close and poses an immediate threat. Secondly, you can try and just pull back and break line of sight and let the enemy titan fall on his own (dashes are useful here). If he pursues, his health will have dropped by the time he reaches you and you can finish him off quickly by blasting or meleeing. This is recommended if there's some distance between you and the enemy titan.
4. Pesky pilots! The first thing I do when defeating a titan is backing off, preferably dashing, and look towards the sky for any revenge-seeking pilots who are using their ejection jump to try and get a rodeo in. When fighting in urban environments, use dashes to quickly create distance between you and a spot where you think an enemy pilot is moving in from. The best way of fighting rodeos is to try and avoid them or sticking with a friendly titan. If you are using electric smoke you don't need to worry as much, of course.
5. Get those missiles on target. A well-used missile salvo or slaved warhead salvo will get you that slight edge against your opponent. Absorb your enemies missiles with the vortex shield or dodge them. Oh, and don't send ever send a huge cluster of missiles into an enemy vortex shield if he activated the vortex after you. That means he will send those right back any second. There's no shame in firing them away into a wall or, my favourite, onto a nearby enemy pilot. 
6. Prevent their regen (if possible)! Your enemies shields will recharge eventually. You can reset the regen waiting timer by hitting them ONCE with anything. When you have to take cover temporarily, try to quickly peek and get a shot in whilst you wait for your shields.
