The Titan gameplay feels polished and complete with more titans in the full-game it will be even more complete.

The game delivers what it promised, an immersive, fast paced, first person shooter. It's a fresh take on the genre with the introduction of map atmosphere, mechanized warfare, and intricate movement systems.

Definitely worth the try if you're into engaging shooters.

Honestly some of the most fun I've had in a FPS in a long time. Many people say the extra AI bots are distracting and pointless, but honestly I feel this is one of the most innovative ideas in a shooter in nearly a decade.

It makes the worlds feel a lot more full, and makes you plan some things a lot more. Sure in most cases they're very easy to mow down, but they can be the slight decider in if you get killed or not sometimes that makes you actually pay attention to them.

If you have the hardware to max out everything (Intel i5-4670 and GTX 770 here) it is a very beautiful game as well when running at 1920x1080 60FPS.

I understand some of the complaints about lack of content for a single player mode, but most games like this basically are moving down this path. The single player with incredibly generic plot and reused ideas in the newest BF and CoD obviously show how unimportant they were.

There was a weird bug where the mouse twitched during the tutorial at times, but once I got into gameplay it was fine.… Expand

I just registered after years of following this site to post a review because it amazes me some of the reviews I'm reading.

This game is refreshing, that's the best way to put it. It has aspects of Call of Duty, Halo, Counter-Strike, and Tribes... it's still early(content wise), but it's an amazing change in the FPS genre. The story is non-existing(who plays a FPS for the story?)..I just registered after years of following this site to post a review because it amazes me some of the reviews I'm reading.

This game is refreshing, that's the best way to put it. It has aspects of Call of Duty, Halo, Counter-Strike, and Tribes... it's still early(content wise), but it's an amazing change in the FPS genre.

The story is non-existing(who plays a FPS for the story?).. but the genre is a nice modern/sci-fi setting, which really bring out the best in the modern war shooter as well as hitting the science fiction aspect with the Titanfall's.

The mechanics of every building being scalable(sp?) is one of the greatest addition to FPS mechanics in a very long time. After letting my roommate play, I watched and realized that habit(for everyone playing) is to stay on the ground like traditional FPS, but as you start to take advantage of the ability to climb any building, it gives a serious Tribes feel... the entire map is your playground.

People have complained about the repetitive nature.... Have you played ANY other FPS? Every FPS I have ever played.. ever.

The game is repetitive yes, but no different than any other FPS out there. Hop in a lobby, play a map you've played before, kill people. Titanfall is neither a positive or negative in this aspect... it's done nothing in my opinion to differentiate from the repetitive nature of other shooters, but it isn't any different than COD or Halo in this aspect.

Ultimately, the game is a fast pace shooter(fastest COD out there imo)... it has different game mechanics which make it unique(scaling any building, the Titanfalls themselves).

The game is not for everyone, but here's the type that I think will and will not enjoy it:

Will:
Call of Duty players(Not the die-hards that live, eat, and breath anything that Activision throws at them, you'll never win the fan boys)
Counter-Strike players- As a former CS player that has played several other shooters but hasn't really been hooked on any of them), this is the closest I've come to that hooked feeling. True fast paced, shoot and kill gameplay.

Won't:
Battlefield players- While I enjoy the BF series, it's a strategic shooter that has an emphasis on teamplay, this game is a run and gun where you can have success with or without your team.
COD Fanboys- There are people that feel like enjoying this game is a slight against COD in some way and it's amusing but ridiculous.

So I give it a 9 out of 10. If you enjoy fast paced shooters, you'll love this. Plain an simple. It's a return to the twitch based shooter. It's definitely the most fun I've had playing an FPS in recent memory.… Expand

Your pilot when not in a Titan allows some really cool maneuvers kinda like free running / matrix . You can also go invisible . Now if u see a Titan you can jump on it's back and rip its parts out and shoot it internally . So their not op tanks like bf for example.

Yes it may have features from cod / bf but it feels like its own game. I have played many hours of cs / cod / bf and it does feel fresh. This game has the competitive feel to it and may put casual players off. Prepare for ownage if you don't learn quickly.

Now it's servers are Asia pacific for Aussies 140 ping . Yet no lag is present or noticeable to ruin gameplay. I didn't even no till I saw the Ping meter .

And to clear things up the so called SP is really the MP it's kinda intertwined. To give a great online experience developers kinda have to .

I could start this review with a bunch of bare facts like:

In this multiplayer shooter we have two ways of playing: as an infantry soldier (the Pilot) or as a Mech (the Titan). We have over a dozen maps and several game modes.

No, this game is different. It is hard to describe the adrenaline rush that you are experiencing before game starts. The moment when I destroyed the opponent's titan with my bare hands for the first time was like jumping into a pool filled with cocaine. Never tried cocaine, and I don't want to, but this is how I imagine the feeling. I even sang "WHO IS THE F..KING WINNER" to the melody of "Drunken Sailor". And then I got killed for the 14th time. Damn it...

When I died - because an opponent had summoned his titan to fall directly on my head; and when I had fun unlocking new achievements; and when I was gaining upgrades I needed; and when I never get lost on the maps I've never seen before; I couldn't believe that developers could manage so many elements and don't break the balance of the game. You won't experience wandering, confusion in the upgrade system or very slow reloading of the magazine. Every single death is only your fault - you either didn't have a plan how to enter the battlefield or you missjumped from one rooftop to another. Even the HUD it made in such a way that it displays everything that we need to know at exact moment without distracting us from the real battle.

This game will crush you, and it does not forgive. But it also gives you a chance to survive more than 3 seconds without a headshot just after respawning. Some might complain that there are only 6v6 battles and, since maps are not that small, while running around we can arrive somewhere where nothing happens because the main fight is a bit farther. But such empty places are the only moments when we can stop and think about our next move - the rate of exchanging fire in the center of the field rarely gives us time for it.

And you have to think - this is not a single player game. The most important fact is that owning a Titan doesn't give you a clear advantage. Of course Mechs are more resistant and can smash the infantry with one stomp while firing a salve of missiles but the 'ants' are not defenseless.

Pilots not only have 'go-away-titan' weapons, but thanks to their mobility, can take advantage of a moment of distraction and jump onto the back of the battlemachine and eliminate it from the fight with a precise shot in the cables. Despite the physical advantage over the pilots, both "forms of life" are well balanced. This is not a choice between a better or worse chance of gaining new frags, but between two completely different ways of playing. In short - but not precisely - the player chooses between strength and firepower of a Titan, and the flexibility and mobility of a Pilot.

The choice isn't easy. The mobility is crucial to have a chance on the battlefield. When you play as a pilot you will discover that you have to learn a completely new way of moving around the map. This game is closer to Ricoshet from Valve than to BF or CoD. Jet belts gives you the possibility to double jump and to do amazing parkour tricks. The maps are so well-designed that there is always a wall to run on and surprise an enemy by jumping from above him. And even if you are on a certain map for the first time you will never feel lost.

You can feel that this game was designed for hardcore gamers, but - the "true gamers" now have to take deep breath - it doesn't smash newbies just because they had the courage to buy it and login. But don't get to excited, newbies - you will be smashed. But you will receive a few seconds of life more than when you first logged to CoD. Firstly - the aforementioned empty spots on maps. Secondly - disposable upgrade cards that will hide your weakness at the beginning.

The only reason why this game won't receive the highest note are the game modes. After all those new gameplays and tactics, Respawn Entertainment gives us old-fashioned Domination and Capture the Flag. It pains me that they didn't prepare at least one original game mode. Probably the game is supposed to become the new e-sport icon like it is CS 1.6, and that's why they didn't want to rewrite all rules from scratch but the bad aftertaste remains. And releasing new game modes as paid DLCs may discourage some players. Fortunately there are sites like kinguin.net where you can buy it cheaper than on Origin.
Now, if you'll forgive me, I'm going to send some Titans to the scrapyard.… Expand

Area where the game is lacking. I like Statistics and to look at the last round in more detail. To this end I would love to see replay saving and slightly more in depth post game analysis. Also adding a little more customization to different loadouts such as weapon attachments and more perks would be nice. But I feel like these are mainly polish to a core game mechanic that is exciting and an interesting take on a modern shooter,… Expand

Firstly, Titanfall's motion mechanics are insanely fun and satisfying, adding a whole new twist to how you can use a battlefield. Going back to Halo 4 and CoD Ghosts after playing this game made me realize just how much was added to the game by the jumpkit. When you are in a one-on-one fight, you don't have to strafe and duck and go prone--actually, there is no prone option anyway. IfFirstly, Titanfall's motion mechanics are insanely fun and satisfying, adding a whole new twist to how you can use a battlefield. Going back to Halo 4 and CoD Ghosts after playing this game made me realize just how much was added to the game by the jumpkit. When you are in a one-on-one fight, you don't have to strafe and duck and go prone--actually, there is no prone option anyway. If you were to do so, you would probably get thrashed in every pilot encounter. You have to think in terms of escape and elusiveness, jumping and wallrunning your way to safety and, hopefully, a good flanking position to get the kill for yourself.

The maps are all beautiful and lend themselves fully to a pilot's parkour approach. The gunplay is solid, and Titans feel strong but not godlike, as any pilot or other titan can kill you with a bit of work, while you retain the ability to dispense a quick and violent death to any pilot you find, so long as they don't get the drop on you, and a solid chance at taking out a few enemy Titans before you are blown apart. The incorporation of titans can really change the way even classic gamemodes play, and while there are only a few modes at launch, they all work rather well. I mean, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? The Titan's non-regenerative health system is a big help in leveling the playing field.

As for sound, the music and "announcers" are both excellent at setting and keeping a fast-packed, heat-of-battle mood that matches up with the frantic shooting that you'll be doing both as a titan and a pilot. The game's campaign mode was a nice surprise, adding needed depth to a really beautiful space-frontier backdrop while also making players work for those two extra Titan formats. Customization is simple as of yet, but gives enough variety--both on the Pilot and Titan sides--to let you really rework your gameplay the way you want.

The burn card implementation is an interesting thing, and when in the right hands an amped weapon or tactical package boost can be devastating. They can certainly change the balance of a match if utilized to their fullest extend, but the fact that they disappear after a death makes players think before using them and keeps them from being too overpowered. Thank the lord that you are limited to one card per life. Also, it's great that pilots get three weapons, their primary, secondary, and anti-titan guns, and also that anti-titan weapons are generally too slow to hit pilots. No more RPG noobs.

Now, the bad parts. While the Titan combat is very fun and pretty balanced, the maps, in my opinion, do not always give you much room to work with. I'd say that each map will have a slant towards either pilot or titan combat, but the titan-slanted ones still allow pilots to run and gun as they would, only requiring a bit more care to getting stomped or blasted. On a pilot-style map, titans are much more vulnerable due to smaller streets and alleys, along with taller buildings, giving pilots easy points to shoot at or jump onto Titans. This, coupled with the server malfunctions at launch, the occasionally broken scoreboards, the presence of very few tactical packages, the lack of diversity in gamemodes, and the lack of private matches and clans made me consider giving this game so low as a 7, love it as I do, but Respawn has voiced their dedication to expanding the game as time goes on and adding many of these things for free. With that assurance in mind, I'm much more comfortable giving the game a 9 and enjoying what's available right now for what it is; a very fun, incredibly beautiful, fresh-feeling fps in a market saturated by Modern Warfare's and their knockoffs.… Expand

Many have claimed this game is a revolution, they are wrong, this game is an evolution of the FPS genre that despite lacking in content, is the most fun and well designed FPS on the market.

To preface this review, know that I am someone who values depth above all else, I play grand strategies (mostly paradox games) more than any other genre followed by twitch shooter, ig Counter Strike, and this translates to how I play games and influences what I value in games. I will break this review down into several categories and give a congregate score and a score weighted towards my preferences.

Graphics: I thoroughly enjoy games which are presented in a graphically appealing fashion, Titanfall, while not ugly and somewhat stylized, isnt particularly impressive as it runs on the decade old Source Engine. I will give credit to Respawn where credit is due however, this is the best looking Source game that has eve been released, with this game, they have displayed that they have the potential to create graphically impressive games in the future.
Verdict: 6/10

Sound Design: This game has an amazing score, the IMC theme being particularly impressive. The voice acting is impressive, is highly varied and does not become annoying after playing for long periods of time. Titan sound effects are varied and are great as well. The guns however, sound like BB guns, much like Call of Duty's weapons, this is extremely disappointing considering that this issue was brought up on Respawn's forums many times from the moment of Titanfall's reveal which leads me to believe the devs do not care about their fanbase.
Verdict: 8/10

Story: Respawn has built a rich universe surrounding Titanfall, FPSs especially are known to be lackluster in term of lore which makes this all the more impressive. As well, over the past 3~ years, Multiplayer Campaigns have evolved incredibly. I am very disappointed at Titanfall's Multiplayer campaign as I had extremely high expectations of it. The story takes place across 2 1.5 hour campaigns, Narrative is conveyed through scripted events, pre-game set-pieces and dialogue between matches. Despite these being multiplayer campaigns, they are very linear and often, player actions feel worthless and failure is impossible. Not only was the story itself disappointing however, the characters also lacked, well, character. In the 3 hours of Titanfall's campaign, the player learns nothing at all about the characters and character development is nonexistent; This game being from the team which created Call of Duty 4 makes it all the more disappointing. If you buy Titanfall, play the single player campaign once for both sides, then never touch it again.
Verdict: 3/10

Level Design: This game has the best level design I have seen in any FPS since Quake, hands down, it possibly exceeds Quake depending on who you ask. you have to play it to understand what i mean. The maps are well balanced between Titan and Pilot gameplay, my favorite maps are Nexus, Angel City, and Fracture; my least favorite maps are Rise and Lagoon.
Verdict: 10/10

Gameplay: This is where Titanfall is at its strongest, the parkour abilities afforded to players, the titan-pilot interaction, and the gunplay are all superb. Never does a match of Titanfall feel boring ( I have played for 30 hours so far). I have never had as much fun with a modern FPS as I am having with Titanfall. Again, one must experience this to fully grasp its excellence.
Verdict 10/10

Balance: Titanfall is highly balanced, only one weapon feels underpowered, and the rest of the weapons all fulfill their own, unique roles and no weapon outclasses the next in every situation. As they introduce more weapons into the game (they will according to their community manager), this balanced could be lost as Respawn has no experience with DLC/ Patch weaponry. Only time will tell.
Verdict: 9/10

Content: While this game excels in what it does, what it does is very limited. This game only has 5 gamemodes, none of which are unique, and only a handful of weapons. Very disappointing to say the least. However, this game does have 15 maps at launch which is quite staggering. Decide for yourself if it has enough content for you.
Verdict: 6/10

Polish: This game feels incredibly polished and fine-tuned. Everything just works and it has very few bugs (currently, the only known bugs relate to random frame dips on both PC and Xbox as well as minor graphical bugs) or exploits. The game was marred by some annoying server issues on launch day ,however, these issues were quickly addressed. Few games are this well polished at launch.
8/10

Notes: This game costs $60 and thus might be too expensive for many PC gamers who like to buy games on the cheap. It is also exclusive to EA's horrible Origin service, a huge negative for some.

Closing Remarks: If you are someone who thinks that game mechanics and gameplay are more important than anything else, buy Titanfall.

Unweighted Score: 7.5/10
My Score: 9/10… Expand

However, it works better and has better FPS mechanics than BF and that's something that is much more important to me. I can't think of a single FPS released in the last ten years or so that was as good as this mechanics-wise and had BF amounts of content so I don't know why people were expecting that. It would be one thing if BF was a mechanically sound FPS with all of that content but it just isn't and you have to sacrifice gameplay for content which I'm glad they didn't. I've already gotten my $59.99 worth of fun out of this game. Haters gonna hate I suppose but I feel all the ratings of zero based on less content than BF are pretty unfair considering no game has as much content as BF and BF barely works anyway.… Expand

Finally, a breath of fresh air. In a gaming world that has become stale with games such as COD plaguing the market with fifth graders screaming in your ear various insults regarding your mother's weight, Titanfall breaks the pattern and gives us what we all truly want from a first person shooter multiplayer game: hours of challenging, satisfying destruction.

When I heard thatFinally, a breath of fresh air. In a gaming world that has become stale with games such as COD plaguing the market with fifth graders screaming in your ear various insults regarding your mother's weight, Titanfall breaks the pattern and gives us what we all truly want from a first person shooter multiplayer game: hours of challenging, satisfying destruction.

When I heard that Activision and EA were teaming up to make this game, I was concerned. All we needed was the combination of COD's lack of creativity with EA's history of terrible launches. Fortunately, this was not the case. Titanfall launched with almost no issues, and the gameplay is FANTASTIC. The feeling of hearing your titan break the speed of sound and impact the ground like a meteor gives me chills every time. It also doesn't try to hard to shove meaningless customization options down your throat. Instead, the creators and designers took the time in stead to focus on Titanfall's main achievement: gameplay. No one titan is better than another, all the guns are nicely balanced, and there aren't any perks that give any one high-ranked individual a ridiculous advantage over the rest. This keeps it challenging even when you get to the higher ranks and, in turn, increases its replay value. But perhaps my favorite part of this game is the innovation of the thruster-pack (or whatever you want to call it). The ability to hang off of walls, double jump across vast distances, and wall run whilst shooting a sentinel in the face is truly the aspect that gives this game originality. I found myself consistently amazed with some of the things I was able to do in this game that looked like they should be straight out of some futuristic Bourne movie. This game gives both expert and novice players the ability to have balanced, exhilarating fun.

Perhaps the only flaw in Titanfall is its story. It barely has one. The creators did incentivize the player to play through it so that one could unlock the Strider and Ogre titans, but if they hadn't, I would imagine barely anyone would ever even touch the campaign. It doesn't have a coherent and easy to follow story. You have to really pay attention to what's being said in the background in the loading screens between missions. And the missions themselves are merely conquest and attrition matches. It has no discernible difference from the multiplayer besides a few small points here or there. Really the only thing good it does for the game is give the multiplayer maps some backstory, but that's it. Fortunately, this flaw is not one that is crippling to the game itself. At least it didn't try too hard to make some powerful, emotional story and fail miserably (we're looking at you Battlefield). In the end, this hickup does very little to impact the game in any negative way.

Summary:
Pros:
- Balanced weapons/perks/titans
- Refreshing environment
- Innovative gameplay

Cons:
- Forgettable campaign… Expand

-in training, allow a quick pilot and quick titan survival waves combat scenario. Like practice right now.
These opportunities do not diminish my enjoyment. The agility provided by the in-game movement is absolutely awesome and makes playing pilot thrilling. I hope this games shines for a long time. I don't remember the last game that gave me adrenaline pushes like that and feel that satisfied after less than expected endgame scores. Good times every games. Loosing and the get to the choppa epilogue is original and fun. Titanfall is great and hope it gets greater like it deserves.

It is true that the game takes up 50gb and that while being pretty enough it is not a visual miracle.

It's also true that the AI of the killable NPCs is terrible but this is on purpose so that they provide a function of being easily killable (giving much fewer points to the killer than killing another player or titan) and so that they populate the battlefield - this not only positively changes the feel of the game, it also makes the game available to new playstyles and makes it more accessible to new players who won't feel so left out, while not being able to make as many points as seasoned players.

There is an auto-aim pistol but it is more or less useless in fighting against other players and is primarily used against NPCs. This is a feasible tactic for any player but once again makes the game more fun for people who can't yet compete with the quick aim of a COD marksman.

The campaign is terrible and as far as I am concerned it is the only thing about the game that truly disappoints - every criticism written here I can happily agree with. Luckily the standard multiplayer modes are so much fun and the map count is large enough to make the campaign unnecessary. Given the amount of content I think that it's childish to be upset about the lack of a single-player campaign.

Apart from the multiplayer campaign the only other valid criticisms are with the inability to play private matches and as of yet no anti-cheat measures. Respawn promises to fix both soon.

The parkour movement and the addition of the titans make this game for me. It takes a while to get good at the parkour and it's hugely rewarding as you start flying around the battlefield, getting into advantageous positions against your opponents and running away from dangerous situations. Titans don't take a long time to learn well and provide a very different type of game from being on foot.

Overall I see how on first glance someone may be disappointed with this game, especially after being subjected to the extreme hype preceding its release, but giving the game an honest try (especially with friends), I truly don't understand how someone could give it a low score.… Expand

The Game is by far the best FPS SHOOTER in the last years:
Creative Level Desgin,
Awesome Parkour,
Amazing Weapons,
Next Gen Graphics,
Full of new ideas (titans, burn cards, jetpack)
Just some minor cons are
-i am unable to select a specific mission in ONLINE CAMPAIGN or a specific Map in CLASSIC MODE

Titanfall is a breath - taking multiplayer FPS. This game's atmosphere is amazing. Fast-paced, constant battles makes you aware all the time. Pilot playing is fun but when you call a Titan then the party starts. I've never been a Mech fan but these titans are absolutely amazing when you playing them. If you tired of classic modern multiplayer FPS then Titanfall is truely a game for you..

This is one of the best FPS games i have ever played.
However considering the games price it is lacking content and the Australian server have been unstable at times.

Pros:
Intuitive

Uh, Titans? Duh.
ITS ALIVE!
Cons:
Content

Normal Annoying FPS problems.

PRICE!!!!!!

Now for the more in depth:
The game is so much fun with the wall runs and the jumps and the mantles etc etc, and that is very very smooth and it feels as normal as walking on the ground. The titans also feel very normal, its just as if youre on the ground, but instead of human size, youre giant. But where the game shines is in between these two. The balance between the two game play styles is so well thought out its damn near perfect. Any pilot can take on any titan, it may be dangerous, but its possible, and vice versa. If you want to just run on walls and play the game play CoD, well then do so! drop your titan in and make him follow and help you, or have him lock an area down! and speaking of titans, they are well made and balanced, with very few flaws about them, and the flaws are just annoying rather than gamebreaking. Now lets move on to the (kinda) cons.

Okay. So.. No singleplayer. Yeah, it sucks.. but honestly, if you bought this friggin game and thought there was single player then you deserved to lose your money, because Respawn said very clearly that there is no singleplayer. Now, that being said, its still unfortunate that its not included, but the multiplayer campaign really isnt that bad. Sure, its generic and not too creative, but in all honesty, isnt generic supposed to be good? Not to mention theres some REALLY cool parts of the game that are only shown in campaign. But alas, no campaign is still unfortunate, perhaps a DLC will include some kind of survival mode. Okay. Now to the graphics. Contrary to what people seem to say, the graphics are fine.. Are they next gen? No.. Are they "HOLY HELL THATS SO REAL"? No, theyre not. Theyre acceptable though, and theyre more than serviceable. Oh, make sure you actually go to the setting and change your texture quality, because im guessing half the people on here never did.
Okay, now the biggest problem of the game? The price. 60 bucks for a PC game? No. No PC game should ever be 60. At most it should be 50, and thats still too much. When you buy a digital copy of a game, you dont get a box, or anything that comes with it and that takes away from the price. This game might be worth 60 bucks, but it shouldnt be priced as so. Content does not affect gameplay, there are about 10 primary guns (or somewhere, i dont know for sure), and these guns are different enough to make you use each one, and never leave one behind and not use it. Its not that Titanfall doesnt have enough content, its that Call Of Duty has too much. How many times have you played CoD and only used a total of 8 different guns. Thats what i thought. Content is NOT a problem with Titanfall, and it should not be said that it is.

Oh, and while im thinking of it: people seem to complain about the bots. Well, imagine a 12v12 game of titans and then tell me that sounds fun, because it sounds awful. I think the Specters should do more damage, but hey, its not a big deal. The bots are fun, and they make the world feel alive. Its crazy to see a squad of grunts fall from the sky, and as they rush out of their pod, a giant pterodactyl monster flies down and takes one away.

Conclusion:
The games worth 60 bucks, but shouldnt be priced as so, so wait for a sale or for it to drop to 40-50.
The game is intuitive, new, and smooth. The titan vs pilot is balanced, and its a seamless transition.
No singleplayer campaign, but honestly, if you didnt know there wasnt one, then why were you buying a game without looking at it first?
The online campaign is very generic, yet still fun and epic. I sometimes play it over classic modes simply because i like the story, however little of one there is.
Content is not a problem, guns are diverse, and you will use each one because you will need to.… Expand

You can tell the developers at Respawn put a lot of time and effort to create a well-balanced and fun shooter game for everyone. It's definitely become of the main games that I will be playing for the next few months. I mean the game really tries to make you feel good in every way possible. For people who are not too good at FPS, they can stack up XP points by killing AI-controlled soldiers and obtaining titans in that fashion. Basically, everyone has a fair chance of doing well in the game. There's really nothing that tips the scale one way or the other. They even allow you to escape the map on an evacuation ship if you are the losing team. In a way, if you (individually) do escape, you "win" as well. Anyways, it feels really great to jump on walls and buildings and get to the other side of the map in matter of seconds while destroying giant robots along the way with some easy AI kills.

Despite all the praise about the gameplay, I have to knock off a point for not having a great campaign mode or any sort of meaningful story line. All the components are there for a great story but they totally blew it on that part. I wish they had a single-player offline story mode that at least takes you through the story about why they are in a civil war and how titans were created to begin with. Other than that, it's a great multiplayer online FPS game with tremendous potential for the future. I see this game escalating into a franchise at the level of Halo and COD.

I play it on the PC and you will not have a hard time finding people for your match. I just played Capture the Flag mode all night and it was almost always 6 v 6 every game.… Expand

And, for the most part, I can safely say that Respawn have not disappointed.

I've been playing the game on the PC for about 20 or so hours so far without any major problems or quirks. The gun play feels great and is extremely responsive, while also having a lot of variety in the types of weapons. You have the normal assortment of assault Rifles, Submachine Guns, DMRs, Sniper Rifles and the really cool S.M.A.R.T Pistol that locks onto enemies and guides the rounds into their targets. The Titan gameplay also feels really refined and this is where the game shines. The mix between Pilots and Titans during battles, even with the lower 6 v 6 player count, makes for some epic moments as you bail out of your doomed Titan while being fired upon from different directions, getting catapulted into the air and then trying to hide or return fire. I've had some pretty awe inspiring moments so far.

If we look at the overall graphical and audio quality of the game, things look and sound quite good. The graphics, though not state-of-the-art by any stretch, get the job done when it comes to details on the Pilots and Titans. Pilots have great looking armor and suits that pending you're using the Insane Texture settings, look absolutely amazing up close. The Titans also look great when it comes to texture quality but also in the animation department. The animations in the game look incredible with the Titans acting like super-sized soldiers, moving left to right with virtually zero stutters.

Now, overall you have to look at the big picture and look at what kind of value this game offers. First off, the game does not have a Single-player mode so for some of those single-player fans out there, you're out of luck. All of the "Story" features have been seamlessly integrated into the multiplayer in the "Campaign" mode which is simply a combination of different games modes and maps with an added narrative at the beginning and end of a match. Game modes range from Team Deathmatch (Attrition), CTF, Domination (Hardpoint) and a Last Titan Standing mode, each mode calling for a different play style to be successful. The multiplayer also integrates a feature called "Burn cards" which are one time use abilities that grant you weapons, speed boosts, armor boosts and whatnot. Finally, customization is definitely key in this game with familiar create-a-class features coming from the Call of Duty series included for both your Pilots and Titans.

To really sum it up quickly, if you're a big fast-paced multiplayer fan looking for something a little different, give Titanfall a shot. Unfortunately, there will also be the people that will see the lack of any other modes apart from the mutiplayer as a weakness and a problem for longevity and that is who the game won't be for.… Expand

Next off, the mechanics. Wall-running, double-jumping, titan-riding and Spectre-hacking all put their own spins on the gameplay and make it differentiate from the common "CoD with mechs" stereotype of onlookers.

Balance. Whether you are in a Titan or running as a Pilot, you stand an equal chance in battle. Everything balances each other out so you don't feel like there's cheap deaths. Subtle, but fantastic.

Now, the cons. Honestly, I only have a few.

The price. While I got this game 20% off in an Origin Spring Sale, I still think $60 is a bit steep. Go deal-hunting for Titanfall instead of paying full price.

Two minor things: I wish there was the ability to vote on maps and rename custom Titan and Pilot loadouts. One of the biggest gripes I see has been resolved: there's private matches now!

Titanfall is great. Each time you play, you're presented with fresh and diverse challenges and you'll have an awesome story to tell from each and every match. Pick it up, and enjoy.… Expand

I really never felt like I was playing COD but I was in some futuristic world jumping 50 feet in the air doing all kinds of crazy fun stuff , like battle giant mechs and pulling off some crazy kill moves , like ripping some one out of there titan and tossing them away like trash..

That's not to say the game is perfect because its not. The story mode is a complete joke. For a Online only game I expected a bit more. Yeah 15 maps are great but that's right around the bare bones min when you consider this is a online game and should have had 20 or maybe even 25 when you are pricing this at $60. also game modes... it needs more of them. the ones it has are great and all but why not add a 16 vs 16 mode or a 32 vs 32 mode just for some crazy fun.

The amount of gear and wepons and skills you get are pretty good and they all feel like the belong in the game. Over it is fun but I would not say worth $60 as is. There is just not enough content in it to justify the $60 price tag. If it was say $30 or $40 I'd say sure get it.

I don't see my self playing this months from now but I do see myself enjoying it for the time I do play it before it gets old to me. Its not a game I see having a long lasting appeal for some people.… Expand

Titanfall is exactly as advertised, especially when based on the gameplay trailers, but most likely overhyped to death.

It feels quite similiar to Call of Duty, but somehow it felt different at the same time. It's something a fan of first person shooters can tell, even if it isn't readily apparent to others. Things such as gunplay, sense of recoil, first person animations, and first person camera movement can alter how a shooter "feels" to some gamers. Is it a bad thing that Titanfall is similiar to Call of Duty? That depends on your perspective on shooters or games where multiplayer is the selling point!

Titanfall's strengths lie in a few key areas. Which I'll try to summarize here: The Titans, of course, are the most obvious selling point, and are pretty much as awesome as advertised. We get at least fifteen maps in the base game, and each one takes advantage of both pilot movement and Titan combat. The pilot, which you play as, has excellent and extremely entertaining parkour or jump jet movement. This is all tied together with extremely fast paced, snappy combat that somehow manages to outdo Call of Duty's fast paced combat! Overall, it's super fun, and very competitive without the pain (as the game makes you feel good even if you aren't "doing well" at the game).

The weaknesses of Titanfall: Depending on how you view repetition, Titanfall can be repetitive, as gameplay ends up falling into a cycle or a pattern. Matters are confounded by the lack of truly unique or new game modes besides the usual material, such as TDM, CTF, and a conquest style game mode. The PC version is wonky for a few gamers too, with the performance for myself ranging from smooth to suddenly bad, and other fairly minor issues (because it is a nicely designed PC game). Do these flaws hurt the game? Maybe. But they don't do that much to fatally wound the game!

The progression system: We get a nice number of goodies to unlock in the normal progression format. It's fun and addictive, with a very extensively large "challenge" system which act as mini achievements that give you tangible rewards (you unlock weapons, "perks", and weapon attachments). I just wish there was way more to unlock, especially for the pilot weapons and Titan weapons. There isn't nearly enough unlockables at the moment, but that might be a strength to the game, as gameplay matters more than dangling carrots in front of our faces!

The unusual aspects of this game: Titanfall has "Burn Cards", which act as a one round long buff to your pilot's abilities. You can unlock these burn cards by playing the game, but you have to be careful once you use them, because dying will immediately erase your Burn Card effect! But that isn't the only unusual thing about Titanfall. To some degree, this game is like League of Legends, Smite, or DOTA 2. All allied or enemy AI bots are often referred to as "minions", and actually attempt to take objectives which is very cool. They give much less experience points or objective points (in TDM) than actual players, but they offer a very good way to distract enemy players so you can go in for the kill! Also, at the end of every round, you chase after the retreating and remaining enemy players, and you get to bust up their only method of escape (but they can escape, earning bonus points)! All these things feel somewhat unusual, and are welcome changes to the usual FPS formula.

Alright. Titanfall, when viewed in comparison with multiplayer shooters that have been coming out recently, is a great game. Is it revolutionary? No, I highly doubt it. But it gives us a great science fiction setting with nice music, audio, action, and visuals. It's definitely more "involved" than most shooters I played lately that had the main character having a useless "jump" button.

I highly reccomend it for fans of multiplayer shooters! Everyone else, consider this game carefully before buying it.… Expand

The map variety really has an impact on how you play, and there's plenty of freedom on some maps to make calling in a titan only ever a tactical choice instead of the go-to choice. On other maps, titan's rule.

Titanfall feels like a fresh and exciting game in a somewhat stagnant genre. All the combat is exhilarating and responsive (both for Titans and Pilots). The cat and mouse game between Titans and pilots achieved a far better balance than I had expected.

Unfortunately it's not all sunshine and daisies. I do have some minor complaints (and some less minor complaints as well). First off,Titanfall feels like a fresh and exciting game in a somewhat stagnant genre. All the combat is exhilarating and responsive (both for Titans and Pilots).

Unfortunately it's not all sunshine and daisies. I do have some minor complaints (and some less minor complaints as well). First off, while I do like the idea to add AI grunts to the mix to fill out the playing field... there's only one game mode that actually requires their presence and gives them a purpose other than a minor distraction. Grunts in Attrition are a step in the right direction, but I think the idea is squandered in other game modes. I also wouldn't mind seeing more weapons/ items as well as some new game modes (the latter of which have been promised as free DLC). Lastly, I do have some complaints about the current state of the PC port of Titanfall. Despite promises of an upcoming patch since the launch of the game, it is still locked at 60FPS and does not support multi-GPU systems. While the game does run fine on a single GPU, those of us with 120hz or higher displays would like to utilize the full horsepower of our systems.… Expand

Fun game. Fresh with lots of maps and lots of dimensions to the gameplay. I hate what the former Infinity Ward guys did to Call of Duty on PC after Modern Warfare 2 (omitted dedicated servers and mod support), but I respect them for the fact that they know what makes a game fun to play, and take a common sense approach to gameplay design. Two points off, for the following reasons. [1]Fun game. Fresh with lots of maps and lots of dimensions to the gameplay.

I paid 6$ on sale for this game, the Season Pass is now free on Origin so I got all the DLCs for free.

I'm not sure I get why EA does this but I won't complain ! There are so many games being released, it's hard to find the time to play all great games (great = over 80% on metacritic usually). So I guess they prefer to make some money than no money by lowering the price. It's greatI paid 6$ on sale for this game, the Season Pass is now free on Origin so I got all the DLCs for free.

It's great because it increase the number of players and it makes it more interesting for everyone.
The bad side (for them) is that less and less people will pre-order games.
Anyway I hope this trend continues since it's quite cool for gamers who are able to wait a little !

Others just have to blame themselves, would you marry someone before meeting/seeing her ?
Well it's the same with video games, you should wait to see reviews and gameplay before buying.

So I think the game itself is great.
It feels like Battlefield but with more action (too much?) and it's quite refreshing to play with Titans
(reminds me of tanks in BF)
The graphics are great.
I will update my review when I will have played more but so far so good.… Expand

A fun high speed take on the competitive shooter. Game is a light on content, there aren't many maps and all the game play modes are tried and true. If you like team death match and hard point games types then this game will server you well. If you are sick of Battlefield then this might be a fun alternative. If you can pick the game up on a discount, I say go for it.

This game is fast passed close quarters combat, heavily driven by small teams stacked with AI assistance. You will occasionally get to call in a Titan (think COD killing spree here), those these Titans are not all powerful and with a little bit of coordination can be taking down quite easily.

Match making needs a little tweaking, as team stacking seems to be an issue. However with the simplicity of the game interface, joining another game is simple and fast.… Expand

TitanFall is definitely refreshing after having not played an FPS in quite awhile. I had pretty much given up on the genre after seeing so many Call of Duty clones and Halo games, but even though TitanFall has it's similarities with CoD there are also a few perks to owning this game vs the newest CoD.

Visuals: The game is pretty but in such a fast paced game the visuals are pretty secondary unless you are only paying attention to the explosions and titans running around. It is nice to have some awesome scenery but with all of the action you're better off glancing at it only when coming from the dropship.

Sound: The game is pretty epic about this. Every weapon sounds amazing and hearing a titan's footsteps as it is drawing closer to you is pretty intense. Also hearing the footsteps of other pilots as they are chasing you or moving across the map is pretty epic.

Gameplay: The meat and bones of the game. I have to say the combat can become pretty intense. When you finally get to call out your titan and you're currently on another titan's back it can be a pretty gratifying feeling to call yours down on theirs and jump off at the same time. Having a 1v1 with another pilot can also be very scary as you both are jumping around trying not to get shot or coming up from behind for the execution animation. The fact that the game includes elements of parkour makes the game even better. It is quite enjoyable to wall run around and not spend 5 minutes just trying to catch up to your buddies.

As many have said about the matchmaking, it needs to be revamped but if you can look past it it's a very fun game.

I didn't think I'd like the game at first but after playing it for a few days now I've already regenerated and i'm still finding the fast paced combat quite enjoyable and have yet to not feel on edge when running around.… Expand

The game play is very fast paced, the weapons for your mech are fun, and the hit detection is solid. Also you have a lot of NPCs playing with you in each match, so every game feels like a big battle.

I really enjoy that aspect.

Now this game isn't perfect. The campaign is a multiplayer campaign, and it's fun. But the story is pretty much non-existent, and there isn't a single player campaign. I think it would be cool if they had single player campaign, then a multiplayer campaign. The current campaign by itself is very short, and I think it was a missed opportunity.

Also the last flaw is I think there should be more weapons for your solider. The amount of weapons and customization is underwhelming. Also the NPCs, while cool to have you in battle, are basically walking targets. They aren't too smart or difficult, but they are good for target practice or getting a few kills.

So if you find this game on sale for $40 or less, then I recommend you check it out if you enjoy FPS games. You will find the gameplay very satisfying, sound effects are good, and fighting mechs on foot or in one is really fun. That said, the game isn't worth $60 for what it has. It's worth $30 in my view, but for $40 I think you'll still get your money's worth.… Expand

As a PC gamer who grew up on FPS games such as Doom, HL, TFC, Q3A, UT (and the ensuing derivitives), I found the gameplay a refreshing return to the ultra-fast twitch style of death match, capture the flag, and domination map play, but there are flaws from compromises required for console play.

-Good

Visually, and audibly, the game shines. there's so many sounds and vocal calls going on that are influenced by what's around you.The graphics are fantastic, and run extremely smooth in even the most congested of fighting spaces.

I enjoyed the intro/outro cinematics of the campaign greatly and wish they were just built into all the maps and gameplay modes. My only real gripe is the lack of more cinematics in the regular gameplay modes.

The Weapons are (for the most part) balanced with one or two exceptions.

Pilot loadouts allow you to change your gameplay style with many variations.

The titan's the aesthetic doesn't grab me strongly, but they feel real in that everything on them has an apparent reason for being there besides "Looking cool" Their animations make them feel heavy, yet fast and deadly when needed. The loadouts available for the various titans can drastically change the way you play.

The new game-play mechanic of the drop-ship escape when you lose is fun, and psychologically, doesn't make a complete beat-down feel that bad.

-The Mediocre

The level design allows for all game-play modes to be played on every map, but you can tell that certain maps had certain gameplay modes in mind when they were designed making playing them in other modes “awkward”
The layouts of the indivdual maps have a great "Flow" to them to allow for multiple routes and circuits to and from specific areas and around the map, but there each map has an area which is "awkward" to get to and doesn't serve an intended role in any gameplay type.

The game feels like it was rushed out about 6 months too early and that large and grandiose elements of the original game design were cut for time constraints and console compromises.

GAME MODES are old and tired. I'd like to see different game modes that I haven't seen 20 years ago. Adding in an assault mode like Unreal Tournament 2004 or even looking at MMO's such as World of Warcraft, or even Defense of the Ancients/League of Legends shows many other gameplay types that would work extremely well in the FPS genre.

The generation/leveling up concept is okay, but there's no real benefit to hopping a generation except for reaching the next generation faster. I would have liked to see something in-game available exclusive to generations, such as more burn-card space or a specific ordinance unlocked. Oh, and the 50 goose kills for Generation 6 is god-aweful, but rumour has it they're going to nerf/change that requirement.

Only 1 rider/rodeo per titan makes sense from a gameplay standpoint, but it is difficult to tell when a friendly is rodeoing an enemy titan in the heat of battle.

Player/NPC names are occasionally not displayed, making for annoyance when you start shooting your own grunts/players by mistake.

-The Bad

Matchmaking SUCKS. There have been countless times where I've sat in the lobby for 10 or 15 minutes and watch my side fill up, and the other side remain empty. Even back in 1999 FPS games got team based matchmaking right with quickly balanced teams, instead of the (very frequent) lopsided matches of 4v6 or (as my experience as an utter newb in the game) being a Generation 1, level 10 facing Genereation 3+ and nothing but level 40+ There needs to be a way to “bracket” matches based on level and/or generations. Take a look at how Guild Wars and World of Warcraft allow you to “shuffle” between game modes while waiting so that you can quickly get into an available game.

Wonky Titan physics/mechanics crop up at least once a game: There have been several times where I jump onto a titan to rodeo it from above and I fall through the model and it registers as being stepped on. dropping a titan right in front of me, or so I thought, and it turns out the game dropped it on the opposite side of the map, about 300m away. If you're riding/rodeoing a titan, and accidentally jump off and off a cliff (it happens occasionally), the pilot who damaged you last (even if it was minutes ago) gets credit for your death.

Getting on the jump ship is BUGGY. If you drop onto the jump ship from above you fall straight through to the ground. Also somewhat related, you cannot jump onto NPC planes that are zooming around maps despite the occasion where it looks to be in the perfect position to parkour off of.

Misc

Map damage is something that feels like it should have been in the game, but probably cut to make it playable on consoles.

Overall, a great game, but still falling greatly short of it's potential and original grandiose concept.… Expand

The titan gameplay is well executed and the dynamics that arise from playing as a pilot with a titan are fun and innovative. The game largely centers on death-match spin-offs, inlcuding a more strategic game mode in last titan standing. Last titan standing is a very refreshing mode to play because of how well it counterbalances the classic cod run and gun gameplay with the more deliberate and careful team-based gameplay this kind of titan-focused mode requires.

As far as the campaign goes, this game could have done a lot of really cool stuff with the campaign, showcasing more set-pieces and playing on competing objectives between teams. Unfortunately, the campaign really does not add much of anything to the experience. Then again, the game never was really advertised as having a campaign (it's existence was questionable prior to release). SO while the campaign is a bummer, I don't really see it as being a barrier to enjoying the core game in its more traditional game modes.

Lastly, the support for this game has been fantastic since launch. Respawn has released regular updates that improve and add to the game experience pro bono. The only thing they have charged for so far are the extra maps, which I have found to be well worth the money spent. The free content has ranged from titan insignias to matchmaking improvements to challenges to new game modes to a black market (FREE OF MICROTRANSACTIONS!!!!).

Overall I think this game is a solid shooter experience. It doesn't necessarily reinvent the wheel but it changes and adds just enough to make for a refreshing experience. Being someone who has not played a multiplayer shooter for any significant amount of time since CoD Modern Warfare 2, I generally do not play these kinds of games. This one just has enough innovative core gameplay elements to have kept me interested since launch.… Expand

Sure, it's a console port : textures range from okay to downright mediocre. At least, on my decent-but-by-no-means-anywhere-near-high-end rig, the framerate never drops, even in explosion-heavy dogfights, and frankly, for a FPS, that's all I'm really asking for.

But when that's out of the way, it's Section 8 (a very nice futuristic shooter from a couple years ago) but with a budget. It's nervous, action packed, and the dual scale Pilot-Titan is surprisingly well-handled. What I mean is that I expected everyone to rush to their Titan all the time, but it ends up being very fun playing as a pilot as well. Titans are much more fragile than they appear, and well coordinated pilots can be as destructive to them as other Titans.

The mobility takes some time to get used to but it ends up reinforcing the overall feeling of speed.

Most of the weapons are unlocked pretty fast, and even if some higher-level upgrades undeniably provide an edge to assiduous players, I got the feeling that skill, coordination, map-reading and tactical sense remained the main factors in victory.

Overall, a very fun game which is getting trashed for its price and its DLC politics, which is alas legitimate.… Expand

It's got the MOBA type enemies and the smart pistol for those who want a semi-PVE feeling experience. Despite the smart pistol on paper sounding extremely cheap and game-breaking, I find as long as I keep moving I get killed by the pistol as often or less than by anything else. For those who want the fast paced play of wall-running and SMG-toting, Titanfall has that too.

Definitely a great game, with some flaws that'll hopefully be patched out later. Movement is phenominal and my favorite part of the game.

I initially had a problem with the "smart pistol" in the beginning, but after playing for a while I came to the conclusion that it's only really unbalanced during Attrition.

There are a few problems that keep it from a 9/10. For one, I hate the level up mechanics. You shouldn't be limited on your equipment just because your new (see Counter-strike for how it should be done). Now player skills are a different matter, but you should have all the guns you need immediately. There's also the AI. The titan AI is actually great, but the minions are so incredibly dull. I stood in front of one for minutes while it shot at me and missed constantly.

I'm gonna do one more section: negative points other people give it.
1. 6 v 6 is fine. You'll meet enemies more than enough to be satisfied. Stop complaining.
2. Graphics seem very hardware dependant, people complain about bad textures but mine look great.
3. Frame Rate is a little rough here and there, but those fixes will be incoming.
4. I'm fine with no Singleplayer if a game is built around Multiplayer correctly (which this is)
5. Recoil would be a negative thing in this game. There's too much vertical movement to include a weapons recoil. That said, EVERY gun is recoil-less so it doesn't actually unbalance anything. Just get used to it.… Expand

I can honestly recommend this game to anyone who loves FPS and/or mech games, bored of CoD, Halo and Battlefield? Fed up of MechWarrior online? Try this!
The game play itself is brilliant the two play styles either on foot as a pilot with parkour mechanics allowing you to get all over the map is one, the other is as the Titans. Both are very well done, they are very well balanced and both are always a threat to each other as the extremely well designed maps and excellent choice of equipment balance out the needs and uses of both. The controls for both are easy to learn and are very precise allowing for you to do what you need to do when you need to do it with no clunkiness at all.
The multiplayer campaign is simply there to tick a box and appease all the whiners who can't accept a game focussing on doing a few things really well, play this through so that you can unlock the other two titans and have all three available for the multiplayer matches-THE REASON THIS GAME EXISTS and the only reason you should buy it.
As of now there are Attrition, Last Titan standing and Hardpoint. All are 6V6, which was a non-issue for me prior to release and in the actual game is just fine and a complete non-issue there, this is not and was never meant to be Battlefield with mechs. You are an important part of your team and you need to pull your weight if you want your team to win.
Attrition is your standard DeathMatch and is the most fun, with unlimited respawns and no fixed location objectives you have the most freedom, figure out loadouts and playstyles that suit you. There is plenty of variety in this.
Last Titan standing is the most tense and thrilling, you start in a Titan and you have one life. So play smartly, conservatively and work with your team and cover each others backs to get the most out of this. In a 6V6 game you need to work togethor! Being outnumbered is a situation that can come up quickly if you don't and you will need to reset the balance to win.
Hardpoint can be brutal you will have to fight hard to take and hold the three points on the map and you will need to have a plan for your loadout and play style in order to do the best you can as you will be spread thin trying to take and hold the objectives.
There are many different ways of playing: want to be a sniper, head on infantryman, human Titan hunter or stealthy gunner? You can do it! Want to control a head-on tough, relentless damage dealing walking tank, good all rounder or fast and agile harasser as a Titan? You can do it! There are plenty of options allowing you to play how you want and they are all exceptionally well-balanced. You can even go nuclear! Creating a massive explosion right in the middle of a group of enemies, enjoy the view from way above the battlefield as you eject and fall back down on to the back of an enemy Titan and riddle its weak points with bullets!
GRAPHICS: There are better looking games, but Titanfall still looks very good and the detail is there. It has some good effects, a good amount of options and 4K support incoming. It does seem to be capped at 60FPS, but this has been great for me anyway, i have a GTX780 and i am not dissapointed at all.
CONTROLLER SUPPORT:The controller support for the Xbox 360 controller is perfect. It can be used to control the entire experience as soon as the game starts up and you can seamlessly switch between it and a M&KB. It is worth me noting that the accuracy is incredibly well calibrated and in my entire time playing i have only used the controller and have never felt at a disadvantage fighting against the M&KB players that make up the most of PC gamers. Unfortunately you cannot fully customise the controller layout (WHY IS THIS TOO MUCH FOR DEVELOPERS?), but the preset ones are very good and the bumper-jumper is perfect for me anyway. I would recommend it for this type of game
MAPS: There are 15 distinctively different, exceptionally well designed maps. This is the first game where i don't have a favourite map, i like all of them. I never have any concern over which random map the game loads up. They are all fun to play on and they all allow for that essential balance between Titans and Pilots.

*Private servers are available
*There is a training mode to practice the mechanics and familiarize yourself with playing as both a Titan and On-foot Pilot, it won't take long. Also play through the campaign first as this will not be dominated by more experienced players, so you can get to grips with the game.

A response to complaints:
* "It's online only" DON'T BUY IT THEN!
* "It has no single player, i want some single player!" DON'T BUY IT THEN! This was made very clear long before it was released, don't like it don't buy it!
* "The A.I. sucks" They are there to be an easy target for newcomers so that they can get into the game and try there best to pull their weight in a small team. They are also there to add to the atmosphere of the battlefield, they are constantly dropping onto and spreading over the battlefield making you feel part of a much more epic conflict, especially when they complement you on how awesome Pilots are and how terrifying Titans can be.
*"It's a 50GB download!" This information was also available before it's release, yes it is annoying for those of us with more powerful machines,as the uncompressed audio is there for the sake of people with dual-core processors, but at least it lowers the minimum specs allowing for a bigger player base, which we all benefit from in a MULTIPLAYER ONLY game. As for those of you using SSD's it is not going to make much difference in a game like this, how long it takes to get into the game depends upon the servers not your storage. If i'm wrong explain and prove to me why and i will edit accordingly.
*"There's no destructible terrain!" This would break the balance between on-foot pilots and Titans, whilst the pilots can take the ideal equipment to take on Titans the environment is essential. A pilot in the open can easily be killed by a Titan and is forgoing there advantage of being able to access any part of the terrain. Maybe it will be effectively implemented in a sequel.… Expand

Respawn has done a fantastic job of improving this game. At first, Titanfall seemed very bare bones and didn't have the bells and whistles that made the game feel complete. Respawn over the past few months has released patches and game updates to improve the experience, such as a horde mode and other unique to Titanfall game modes. While I do believe their needs to be more Titan chassis and customization options for your pilot and titans, this game has met my expectations.

I can't go too far and give this game a 9 or 10, however. While I can forgive the limited customization options since this is the first iteration of this series (I believe there will be a sequel), there is simply no excuse for not having a campaign mode. Sure the game has a "story" mode, but since it occurs in multiplayer you won't be following it at all. In fact, the you can get through these "story" matches within an hour.

Titanfall isn't without it's faults, but I find myself coming back to this game weekly. It doesn't revolutionize the FPS genre, and it certainly isn't a perfect game, but I will say that this might be the most fun I've had with an FPS in the past 3 years.… Expand

I hate people who look at this game as an XBONE exclusive when I (a PS fanboy) can play this game on a PC. Titanfall is a great game overall but it doesn't deliver the hype surrounding the game prior to it's release.

The game runs on an outdated source engine, it looks last-gen on PC. But at least it looks better than XBONE because it only runs on a native resolution of 792p.

The game runs on an outdated source engine, it looks last-gen on PC. But at least it looks better than XBONE because it only runs on a native resolution of 792p. This game is suppose to be "next-gen" but it can't even hit a 1080p native resolution. It also lacks a lot of basic features when compared to generic military shooters. It's only 6v6 but that's arguably the right amount, shooting bots is tedious because the AI is stupid and the "campaign" is BAD. I know the multiplayer campaign isn't suppose to be the highlight of the game but if it's there, it should still be critiqued.

It's barely even a campaign (not a single character development), it's poorly executed and it's just a mere intro to the game. You'd seen the whole campaign in the beta already, it's just 9 missions that you have to play twice and you can complete it within 2-3 hours. If Respawn promises us a campaign but they're just being lazy with it, they shouldn't have even bothered because then there would be less complaints. It would be much better if they had a separate offline campaign like they do in CoD, Halo and BF as the XBONE is clearly not ready for "always-online".

This game doesn't just borrow from FPS games but it borrows elements of DOTA 2. There are only 6 multiplayer modes and no private matches. The only way you can have a private match (so far) is to boot the guys you don't want in your lobby (which is annoying). I can't believe they shipped this game with only a few multiplayer modes and they had the balls (and got away with it to) to sell it at full price despite the lack of community features. Sure, you can patch more modes and better native resolution but this review (despite being late) is my initial reaction of the game at launch. The fact that you can make a game better through patches and updates (as well as price drop) can be said about every game. It lacks every fundamental features, even customization and an anti-cheat system.

I've ranted about the negatives for too long. This game immediately feels fresh as soon as you start playing despite having a CoD feel to it but with parkour and mechs. The Titans and weapons are perfectly balanced and thanks to the smart pistol, newcomers can enjoy the game at ease. The Smart Pistol is essentially an aimbot but it takes a while to lock-on which can make a difference between life and death if you're up against advanced players who can instantly kill you with a shotgun. It is annoying getting killed by someone with no skills but the Smart Pistol isn't as OP as you think.

Overall, if you love fast-paced futuristic shooters with parkour and mechs (which seems to have a mass market appeal), it's an easy buy. For others, you might want to wait for a price drop. It's very disappoint for a "next-gen" title, it essentially feels like another CoD and I got bored of this game (got a refund) after about a week. Titanfall is a fresh title for the over-saturated FPS genre but it's not the definitive "next-gen" title it claims to be and, in my opinion, it's overpriced for it's value. Kudos for surpassing both BF4 and Ghost.… Expand

First, I would like to clarify that my real rating is a 7.5 but I decided to round it up since a lot of people are being a bit too harsh on this game and giving it a 0 (games that deserve a 0 are horrible games that never deserved to see the light of day, not a game that isn't your cup of tea).

I would also like to throw this out there. I feel that this game was limited because of Microsoft and their demand that this be the MUST HAVE GAME for the Xbox One. That means that isn't a lot of content in the game compared to some other rivals (missing a true campaign that truly explains what is going on, only a handful of game modes, very few weapons and limited game mechanics).

This game is great for an Xbox One game. 6vs6 on that console is good since the console is pretty lacking (It's like the older brother of the Wii U). But for the PC...it can be a bit disappointing. The graphics are nice but they're not GREAT or AMAZING. It's not the kind of game that makes your rig flex its muscles. It's the game that's meant to be played by the masses (like WOW). Now for a game like WOW that's fine since those type of games are never about graphics, but FPS are the most eye candy games.

I feel that for the PC the graphics should have been much better and the maps should have been 125-150% larger with 10vs10 matches not 6vs6. I have no problem with enemy AI, I just feel that they need to be adjusted because they're simply too weak. Honestly, if anything I feel that they're just a distraction. They're the pieces of turd that are hiding the good stuff (pilots).

As for balance, I feel that the game is pretty balanced so far (but hey I've only played for like 90 minutes or so). This is the kind of game in which you can jump in for the first time and do some damage or simply get destroyed due to your lack of your surroundings (and inability to focus on the mini map to distinguish between AI and Pilots/Titans). For a console game, it's worth the $60 price tag, but for a PC game...I feel a bit ripped off. I think that it should be $40 or at most $50.

Now down to the point. Is this game fun? You can bet your rear end that it's fun. It's extremely fun and it makes you want to come back for more. I had to chose between this or MGS Ground Zero (PS4) and well I chose this game. I can see myself playing this game for around 100 or so hours (I only have like 20-22 hours in BF4 and somewhere around 40-50 in BF3). This game has been hyped but it's stable. I can actually play the game and don't have to worry about having my game crash or have some audio problems or graphical glitches or even lag due to poor programming.

In a nut shell

Pros:
-Fun
-Addictive
-Simple controls (no complexity)
-Mechanics simple
-Noobs can have fun
-Losing isn't that bad
-My blood doesn't boil due to getting killed from lag or some crap or having my game crash

Cons:
-Was obviously made for the Xbone (bone box)
-Limited graphics for the year 2014
-6vs6...should be at least 10vs10 with maps that are 125% larger
-No legit campaign mode (A bit disappointed. The original COD PC games had fun campaigns that were worth playing)
-Limited physics (Titans should have the power to destroy buildings...Come EA!!! Let Respawn use that Frostbite engine. They'll put it to better use than Dice).… Expand

Unfortunately because of the speed the sniper's feel implausible in this speed driven game but alas I am a scrub with sniper's so take that as you will.
Previously I could not get the game to run smoothly at any resolution except 1080p. It would actually run just as poorly at 720p as it would at 1440p idk if this is a driver issue or what but it is annoying having a gtx 780 ti an a 1440p monitor an not being able to play a game that I should be able to easily run at said resolution, hopefully this will be patched or a new driver released to fix this. That said I would recommend this game if you enjoy run an gun style that is easy to play but hard to master.

(Original review) The game looks great when I enter the tutorial but as soon as i enter into multilayer im hit with fps drops an even frame skipping to the point of not being playable.

With Titanfall Respawn entertainment attempts to cherry pick the best and most enjoyable aspects of the FPS genre, applying such staples as progressive unlocks and challenges but notably mixing up the actual gameplay dynamic. Let me just burst your bubble if you got on the hype train for a revolutionary new instant COD killer, Titanfall is not it. For the better, as I learned from a fewWith Titanfall Respawn entertainment attempts to cherry pick the best and most enjoyable aspects of the FPS genre, applying such staples as progressive unlocks and challenges but notably mixing up the actual gameplay dynamic. Let me just burst your bubble if you got on the hype train for a revolutionary new instant COD killer, Titanfall is not it. For the better, as I learned from a few hours solid play upon release until feeling I have enough for this review to be honest and reliable.

First and foremost is the COD connection, this is the spiritual successor to Modern Warfare 2, made by about 39 of the 48 original Infinity Ward members if I recall the numbers correctly. It’s the vast majority of them at any rate. There are homages to the call of Duty's of yore everywhere for those that know how to look, from the zero recoil weapons that focus on action more than leading targets, to Martyrdom....yes people, they really love that perk. But you can actually dodge its Titanfall equivalents if you keep your head on a swivel. I'll leave the rest to you but needless to say you will feel right at home if you played MW1 and 2 before either got hacked to hell.

Now about not being a COD killer if it's the spiritual successor: Titanfall revolves around the dynamic between Titans, your killer robot on a permanent timer, and pilots, your player avatar. Titanfall is also a MOBA FPS, which may lead to confusion/frustration if you do not expect or understand this. To explain it briefly; You farm enemies called Grunts and Spectres for weapon unlocks, objective points and time off of the build time for your next titan. Grunts and Spectres cannot kill you if you have rudimentary motor skills and enough spatial awareness not to trip over thin air. They are not enemy AI but a resource that looks like enemy AI, and was poorly explained as such by Respawn.

On the player side, the permutations for players and titans have been stripped back to the archetypes. With this I mean that you do not have 12+ automatics with statistical and aesthetic differences but about 4+ with drastic differences between them. Think of any stock FPS weapon from the accurate, hard hitting semi-automatic to the instant kill heavy sniper rifle, and you will find it here. The problem is that many players will not understand or accept this. I myself am an advocate of avoiding needless fluff as has come to dominate the genre, but the customization options in Titanfall are simply too anaemic. There are no cammo options for example and only basic male/female gender options. You will find nothing to make your avatar feel unique or your gun feel like there are many like but that one is yours.

Similarly the game modes are TDM, Domination and hybrids between the two (as I class CTF). The most popular FPS modes to be sure, but a very thin selection nonetheless. Nothing imaginative here. Frankly I find the graphics to be very acceptable, If you want to have the most cutting edge, rig melting graphics out there titanfall will disappoint you. It's use of the source engine guarantees it to have a good chance of running on a potato though. And it's very lovely on a rig with ample grunt. Of particular note is the amount of detail present and the massive diversity of animations. The game looks very good on a maxed out rig like mine, much better than any recent COD game. Though I realise that is not exactly setting the bar high.

The single greatest selling point, and why I would recommend this game personally is that it is fun. Think to yourself for a moment about how many FPS games have been fun to you recently. I for one feel as if Titanfall is a shooter which has had liposuction. All the useless crap meant to make you needlessly grind for days to get what you want is gone, but so are the customization options that people actually enjoy a lot and the game mode variety they have come to expect. If domination and team death match are modes you love then Titanfall effectively offers you the zenith of them. The map design is excellent all around and there are 15 in the base game. The gameplay is very well balanced due to the small selection of weapons and the three titans Stryder (mobility) Atlas (balance) and Ogre (tank) fulfil their respective roles without either being horribly overpowered.

now about the plot: You are a soldier is the service of Captain Admiral something or other, whom is in a marital dispute with his husband of 15-20 years (couldn’t hear over the gunfire), Rebel leader Monologue Mc.Gruffvoice. C3PO's douchy brother keeps talking about reactors overheating, making it abundantly clear that there is some serious sexual tension here. You are effectively tools in their weird military S&M game where they try to dominate one another's hard points. There's also giant robots falling from the sky, because it makes it hotter. Many violence, much shoot,… Expand

I normally would not believe any reviews that either have a 10-9 and a 2-0 mainly because the people that write them don't say anything really as to why it is bad. Some guy even copied one of the official peoples review as his own. Makes me sick to be a gamer with so many people lying
Anyways back to the game. Titanfall is a great fun game. In recent memory I have not had soo much fun playing this game as I have with other games, the thrill of being able to run around the map with parkour/Spider-Man skills as well as having a personal jet pack to help you double jump around the place. Now firstly this game does have a single player but it is done through the multiplayer with it being a normal multiplayer match with a few voice overs here and there. No I'm gonna hear people say "omg no single player 0/10" or something along those lines. But in a matter of fact it's us gamers fault. Respawn entertainment did research and found less then 15% of people actually complete the single player in games like Cod and battlefield, so why waste the resources if not many people will play it. But no people don't go and do there research and then complain because of it being their fault. The single player has a few nice map selections but I finished it for the Mechs that you unlock.
However the multiplayer in this game is fantastic. It's easy to pick up but hard to master. Which is why so many people enjoy it.

The maps are about the size of a small battlefield map which is great and they are all bigger then any Cod map and they are all unique and different. Another good feature is the inclusion of zip lines. It is quite fun being able to have an almost whole map with nothing but those as you can literally keep on the zip line forever and it's not slow or anything, you can get off any time you want and even hook to another one Bioshock infinite style. The parkour is also great with you being able to go really high, but not as high as BF4, shame water is an instant kill for us pilots though

Now I could go on forever about what I like but I'll keep that for the pro section, there are a few negatives to this wonderful game though
One of them is the lack of game modes, there are about 5 game modes in total that while fun lack any real objective. An example is you have great modes like CTF and last Titan standing plus domination, but that is it, the other two are tdm. More objective modes are needed to make the game last longer,
My other damm is the monsters, while I know that they should not take the show of the game, some more interaction would be great, I hear that in the dlc they will have more fauna and flora which is great, as they have a map all about dragons but the dragons never attack you and another one has dinosaurs that never step on you.
That's it really for my negatives one point though is that the game is 50gb but not all of it is uncompressed audio, they found a way to make the game run well on low end systems and this is shown through the 50gb download
In conclusion I could go on forever about why this game is great and where it is not great, but as it stands it is very fun and I've had some of the most fun in this game then any other for quite some time
Pros
- Titans are fast and fluid and great fun
- parkour and zip lines are ace
- the maps are bigger then all Cod maps and all feel unique and different
- all the titans feel different and unique
- easy to pick up, hard to master
- Grunts may be weak and stupid but are awesome
- Game is just generally very fun
Cons
- single player is a little short
- I wish for more monster interaction
- hurry up private matches
- lack of game modes
- lack of content
Score 8.5/10

First let me state that the low user score for this game are related to ps4 fanboys and cod haters.

Titanfall is simply great however it is not revolutionary. It mixes the fast paced, low recoil gunplay of cod with parkour and mechs. It may seem like just cod with mechs but it is much more advanced than that. Titanfall is a diffrent kind of fps. It feels sortof like a moba. There'sFirst let me state that the low user score for this game are related to ps4 fanboys and cod haters.

Titanfall is simply great however it is not revolutionary. It mixes the fast paced, low recoil gunplay of cod with parkour and mechs. It may seem like just cod with mechs but it is much more advanced than that.

Titanfall is a diffrent kind of fps. It feels sortof like a moba. There's early game, mid-game and late game. There are minions. There are diffrent lanes which have their own advantages. You have to kill minions and other players to shave your time off so you can get your titan early. Since titans can't jump you have to make use of diffrent pathways to your advantage.

So let me explain how titanfall works.
In early game you have to rush to the battlefield and kill the early wave of creeps so you can get your titan.
Once you get your titan the mid-game starts and you have to use your titan against other titans and players once a team bested another the end game starts. The losing team have to escape to the dropshop while the winning team has to hunt the players down.(you don't respawn in late game)

This structure makes it diffrent than any other fps because it changes as the game goes on. And knowing the maps can help you a lot.

Yes the maps... Titanfall has some of the best map design in recent memory. Maps are designed so that you have many parkour opportunities, Titans have diffrent paths which give them flanking opportunities. And there are some indoor sections for some cqc.

Let me talk about the titans, once your titan timer hits zero you can mark a location and your titan will drop in 5 seconds. It feels extremely smooth jumping to a titan. They have a very bulky feeling when it comes to movement. But they can dash to avoid incoming projectiles and other things. They are equipped with a primary weapon as well as an ordanence which is usually a missile. They have a shield as well as a health bar. The shield will absorb about 90% of the damage and will regenerate over time, the health bar will not regenerate. Once your health reaches zero, your titan will be "doomed". In which you have to eject.

Once you eject it will throw you up into the air. In which you can plan what you are going to do. One of the things you can do is to try and attemp to rodeo another titan. In which you will jump onto its right shoulder and you can shoot inside of it ignoring shields. The pilot inside can disembark and try to kill you manually or if he has it activate electric smoke. In which will kill you if you enter it.

Electric smoke is a tactical ability. Both titans and pilots have a tactical ability. Which they can use to their advantage. Pilots have things like cloak and titans have things like "bullet magnet that you can use to send bullet back to your enemy kinda thing (vortex shield)". It adds a little bit more strategy to the gameplay.

Let's talk about weapons. There aren't many weapons in titanfall however they all feel very diffrent and focused. Having small number of weapons which I use every once in a while is much better than a gazillion of recolored guns. But I would agree that there is a lack of unique weapons. There is only the smart pistol that is worth noting. Which was classified as a "newb" weapon at launch. Because it locked onto enemies and got headshots. It is practicly an aimbot. However it is a very fair aimbot. It is very useful for farming minions if you want to get your titan early. However it takes a little bit of time to lock and this time is much longer on pilots. And on pilots it's going to take multiple headshots. So if your enemy has noticed you you will die by their assault rifle or shotgun before you can even get a lock.

As everybody knows titanfall is 6v6. When annaunced everybody was like "lame". And said that it will be boring. This design choice is more of a "how cs is 5v5" kind of thing. The game and the maps are balanced for 6v6. The maps are bf4 kind of large but they don't feel empty. Because of minions there's plenty of things for you to shoot at. If you feel that you should fight with pilots and titans more than the maps will fall apart.
There will be too many titans so pilotss will be ineffective and there will be too many titans and the map will be just overfilled.

Many of you've heard that Titanfall will contain story elements in its multiplayer. The translation of that is you start being deployed from an airship, there's much more audial feedback and you have to escape in the end.
It's actually quite good as just being placed and seeing a countdown feels stupid and awkard.

But then it falls apart...

Titanfall has a campaign mod which is simply classic multiplayer with burnt caramel chocolate on it. (word limit sorry). The performance is overally good. The game is about pace than performing the best. And curse metacritic for putting a 5000 character limit. I wrote this long to show you the game isn't just cod with guns and doesnt get boring after 5 hours.… Expand

- Even if you're not great at shooters, you can contribute to your team by capturing flags like in conquest or domination modes of other games and there are also a lot of AI units running around that give you points for kills. Just a couple of example of how you can feel a bit of accomplishment even when not killing the opposing team's human players.

- The unlock progression is decent. The different weapon types provide enough variety within the context of the game. Matchmaking becomes better the longer you play during a particular session. I find most rounds to be lopsided when I first hop into the game and they begin to even out the more rounds I play. The matchmaking is decent.

- Only experienced lag a couple of times.

- The sound is great, but I'm not sure about the surround positioning. Seems built for stereo at this point with few audio option settings.

- The graphics are crisp.

- The maps are great.

CONS
- Some of the time I don't feel like many people are even playing this on PC as it can take 5 minutes+ for you to get placed on a team and them another 5+ for the server to match your team up with an opposing team.
- Too much time between rounds. In addition to sometimes waiting for a matchup, there's 90 seconds of countdown to the 60 seconds of loading the map and the added 10-second countdown to the drop ship sequence (10 more seconds?). This is even with both teams populated.
- Some of the time I feel like hardly anyone is playing this game on PC as it will sometimes take a looooong time to get a team matchup. If you play 'Attrition' mode (like deathmatch), this is not an issue. If you play campaign or other multi-player modes, you can expect to wait for a matchup.
- The graphics are a little cartoony/painted similar to CoD Ghosts on a console.

Honestly, at first I thought it sucked, but the more I play it, the more addictive it has become. I like it!… Expand

Awesome game. There is a lack of content and customisation. The whole package should not be sold at its current price but the game play is definitely new and refreshing. I believe there is potential for deeper tactics as there are so many more paths given the extra dimension that have not been discovered. Hopefully they release more in the upcoming DLCs.

Far from a flawless game, Titanfall nevertheless manages to combine various elements from different genres to become a strangely original and enjoyable shooter.

I picked up this game for half price last weekend and I have to say I'm really enjoying it so far. I can't say I fully understand all of the hate this game has been getting but I suppose the true lack of innovative gameplay modes is the real killer.

That being said though, the gameplay mechanics are executed masterfully, and the fluidity of movement and the flow of the maps is top notch. I've played quite a few "mech" games and never before has map traversal been so enjoyable as what they managed to pull off here. I never get hung up on objects while in a titan, and yet the maps are anything but flat, and for that I have to congratulate the designers. Also, the game is frantic, but I rarely feel frustrated while playing, unlike something like crysis 3 multiplayer which also has a blistering pace, but is maddening to play. The graphics are actually really pretty when you max everything out on PC, and even with the settings cranked, FRAPS rarely shows a dip between 120fps which makes it look glorious on my 144Hz display. Yes, there aren't a million weapons, but I think the gadgets and weapons can be combined in enough unique ways to fit all of the different play styles you'd want anyway. I'd actually rather have this than the clutter of similar weapons in a game like Battlefield 4, and unlike that game, yes there are some guns that are better than others, but they all seem to be balanced quite well. The titans feel powerful, but the pilots are certainly not to be taken lightly and the method of balancing the titan vs pilot gameplay is actually really clever. It's not something like Halo 4 where pretty much any weapon makes vehicles seem useless, and it's also not like some other games where the vehicles blow everyone away. I was hesitant to buy this game because the internet has shown nothing but disappointment, but I have to say I've been really pleasantly surprised and I hope the servers stay full. The fact that there isn't a single player campaign isn't a big deal, and I"m not sure why so many people have an issue with that. How many people actually replay campaigns in COD, or BF4 more than once? And when they play them, people just complain about the poor quality of the campaign anyway so I personally don't miss it. I think this game is brilliant, the amount of loadout customization they allow you to have is fantastic, it's just SO so smooth to play, and the maps are all completely different and I think they look great. I think more people need to take another look at this game, because it really is highly underrated in my opinion. If you haven't played it but are bashing it anyway..... stop doing that, sink 8-10 hours into it to get a feel for it, and then we'll talk.… Expand

This game is all about the multiplayer so I won't downgrade it for that. What I will downgrade it for is clunky controls. Moving so fast with a mouse and keyboard isn't optimal. With players moving extremely fast it is almost impossible to get a good shot off. Teams are filled with bots. They don't do much and are basically free kills. This doesn't seem like a negative until you get into the heat of a battle and start shooting at 4 bots only to have an enemy player kill you from somewhere else. I would have preferred no bots because they are a distraction. I'll find myself killing 10 bots/game and only 2 players.
This game lacks content. There are very few equipment selections available and to make everything else paid DLC, especially in a game that lacks a single player campaign in absurd. A bare bones IP that lacks multi player content and single player shouldn't fall victim to the "season pass" treatment. The game is very innovative with movement. The titan gameplay could be improved. It isn't nearly as exciting as it could be. I'm more excited to get titans because they are overpowered than because they are fun to use. Maybe I'm out of the loop but the game never said how to defeat a titan. You'll get killed over and over again by them because it doesn't make sense how to take one down as a pilot. As a titan all you can do is just shoot at one. I like the game. It's not worth $60. It's fun but don't expect it to reinvent the fps genre. It's a nice change of pace but the lack of substance keeps it from reaching its full potential.… Expand

Something else I liked was how accommodating I found this game to new players. If you aren't feeling very confident, it's simple to grab a smart pistol and pop off some bots. It means someone who's new can focus on one thing at a time - once they get used to the movement system (necessary to get close enough to use the pistol) they can try out something else. There's a real change of pace once your titan arrives, which helps to keep things fresh.

The "campaign" mode is good fun, as it adds an element of excitement to the missions, with interesting cut scenes, scripted events and speeches prior to battle which stops the bout become just another meaningless grind fest.

Some textures could use some work however. The texture quality is especially noticeable during "space" cut scenes, where I would rate them as poor. This is a shame, as everything else offers plenty of opportunities to inspire awe. It is also worth keeping in mind that the game worlds look far better when you're sprinting through them than if you're standing still, but that's how it should be, as it's so much fun just running around that you really wont want to stay in place for too long.

The lack of a single player campaign was a shame, but at the same time I'd rather one isn't included at all than having a bad one. The campaign on Battlefield 4 for instance was so lame it would have been better had it never existed. A few more maps in different environments wouldn't have gone amiss either - yes the ones that are included have a lot of character, but having a space mission, or ocean, or aerial, or jungle etc., would have been appreciated.… Expand

The feeling when you were defeated and you are trying to get to the evacuation ship is something that I enjoyed in many ocassions, but I wouldn't recommend playing this game for more than 3 to 4 hours in one sitting, as it will be a boring experience after the 3 hour mark. I've played this game for about 200 hours (6/7/2016).

One more thing: Each generation (when you reach the maximum level and get to reborn after the regeneration tasks that help you use every possible weapon of the game) is not that rewarding, as you lose your progress and loadout from the previous generation, but you'll now receive 10% extra of experience per regeneration.

Running around as a pilot and shooting enemies is great fun because the wall-running is an appealing aspect to combat. Shooting endless waves of AI bots is far less appealing but they provide a way to acquire your Titan faster and promote chaos. You’ll be killing five times more bots than humans and this never sits quite right.
Titans are a blast to command and dash around the map in. You’ll crush AI bots like you just walked over ants and punch jumping players into red mist. Titans are powerful, and this is glorious for a short time. But when one team has 4 or more, the other team has a serious problem. The core mechanics are wonderful but near impossible to actually balance without jeopardizing what makes it so good. Titanfall also floods you with action and challenges while pressuring you back into combat. For that reason it can get tiring, but never boring. Its best played in short stints and struggles to provide long term enjoyment that you might expect from an online shooter.… Expand

Where BF is kinda stuck in a more hardcore, tactical, clunky and "realistic" approach, Titanfall is more focused on fun which I think is a good thing. Also unlocking everything via playing is doable unlike BF where you pretty much have to buy DLC to get all of the stuff. The sci-fi setting is nice. What I like less is that players can sometimes be very hard to shoot since they move extraordinarily fast which I think is annoying in an FPS. Also for example hardpoint capture mode is a bit counterintuitive since you can't capture most of the hardpoints while in a Titan. A real single player campaign would have been nice, but I don't regret my purchase. And I bought it at european pricing which is 55€, $76.… Expand

Titanfall is a game that is supposed to be a "cod killer", a game that will finally wind up the stale FPS market. Mechs and parkour with CoD-like-gunplay ? That can't go wrong, can it ?

Well, it actually went well - this is a GOOD GAME. It suffers a lot, however, because of the downright GREEDY marketing (60 $ with no single player and 40 $ season pass). Gameplay is brilliant both as aTitanfall is a game that is supposed to be a "cod killer", a game that will finally wind up the stale FPS market. Mechs and parkour with CoD-like-gunplay ?

Well, it actually went well - this is a GOOD GAME. It suffers a lot, however, because of the downright GREEDY marketing (60 $ with no single player and 40 $ season pass).
Gameplay is brilliant both as a pilot where you run all over the map, wallrun, chain walljumps, use ziplines and rodeo enemy titans and as a titan where you blast your way through any encountered enemy. Titans work somewhat like killstreaks in CoD, but you get them even if you play very poorly, thus being better for casual players (with good score you get them faster).
There is also a completely FRESH MECHANIC OF BURN CARDS which is an interesting idea, you get cards for playing matches that you can use (up to 3 per match) and they grant you for example a superior weapon, infinite grenades and similar stuff. Is it good ? Well, it replaces CoD killstreaks but honestly I prefer the killstreaks, it's just way more satisfying even if you get them rarer.
Matches are only 6v6, but this is imo not an issue, as both sides get a lot of NPC grunts that serve as a targets for faster titan acquisition (sort of a crutch for weak players) and you generally get a lot of action, and thanks to NPCs even if it's clearly not your day you still feel powerful by slaughtering foot soldiers and hearing them scream in ave as they see you fight "Holy s...t did you just see what that pilot did !?". Their AI is basic and they are a pushover but still I think they fit well in Titanfall.
Maps are numerous (about a dozen) and well-designed, though they do not feel unique and are similar to each other, so it's a mixed score for the maps. Complete lack of destructibility is a shame too, as it would work so well with giant titans on the battlefield.
Sadly, the important thing that is player customization is non-existant (can only select gender), and the pool of weapons, perks and equipment is about 1/2 of any modern CoD/Battlefield game. This could have been done better. IT GETS STALE QUICKLY, much faster than let's say CoD, I have 200+ hours in Black Ops II whereas I have about 1/4 of that in Titanfall because THERE ISN'T ENOUGH CONTENT !
My second BIG PROBLEM with this game is LACK OF SINGLE PLAYER. Campaign COULD have been awesome, with all these mechs and alien creatures (totally scripted) we encounter on the maps, and those giant ships exploding around (scripted of course) you really missed a great opportunity there.
WARNING there is a thing called ONLINE CAMPAIGN but it SUCKS COMPLETELY those are just regular matches with scripted scenes and some dialogues running during the game but they're not even good voice actors there.
Yet still, you dare charging full price for this ! Come on you sc..bags, that's downright greedy !
So you want 60 $ for you game and then 40 $ for a season pass, but you don't even care to make solid amount of guns, single player or co-op ? *Sigh*

Should you buy this ? Yes if you're a multiplayer-focused FPS Player tired with BF and CoD serving you same stuff every year but be prepared for the lack of single player.… Expand

To be honest, I was just about ready to put the game down and uninstall it out of frustration.
But first I decided to play the campaign. No, the campaign is not anything special, but I found it to be a good place to learn how to play. By the time I finished the campaign my frustrations were still there, but I was hooked and found myself doing really good. After passing the initial learning curve I began to notice differences between player and AI, fight multiple titans while on foot, and all that fun stuff that I saw players doing when I just started an wanted to flip a table because of it.
The idea behind the game was absolutely brilliant- pilot super soldiers who can call in heavy mechs fighting each other? Sign me up!
The execution was pretty good minus one issue- For a game literally built on multiplayer for $60 there is little to do. There is a handful of guns, mechs, and achievements to unlock. Doing all of that takes around 10 hours, and after that I was just playing just to make that poor new player's day miserable by smashing his face into the concrete a few dozen times. A game built on multiplayer needs something to progress towards that will take a long time if it plans to stay alive. This game is lacking that- and what worries me is that there is already talk of a sequel, meaning that there is not much intention to change that fact.
Regardless, there is a bit of a learning curve and a lack of content to unlock/progress towards, but I would take this over another AAA shooter almost any day. It is a good entry into the "next gen" and I hope to see it grow with time.… Expand

This game is fun (at first), but it fell short of what I thought was to be a mind blowing experience. As far as the visuals, I find them to be a little underwhelming considering the fact that this was supposed to be a next gen experience. It's definitely a quality game, but it was over hyped and I fell for the hype. Also the amount of content warrants a $39.99 price point at best.

Titanfall is a very solid fast paced FPS game. As many have mentioned, it's CoD + robots. There are a number of faults with it though:

* the AI skill level is set way too low. They're more of a distraction than anything. * poor matchmaking. I can't count the number of times one team is stacked over another. Not to mention some of the less popular modes like last titan standingTitanfall is a very solid fast paced FPS game. As many have mentioned, it's CoD + robots.

* poor matchmaking. I can't count the number of times one team is stacked over another. Not to mention some of the less popular modes like last titan standing takes FOREVER to find a match.
* inability to really play with your friend. There are no clear indications of where your friends are (they've patched it to make your friends show up in a different color -- but that doesn't help). You should either be able to spawn near your friend or have a bigger indicator in the 3D map that shows your friends.

I've logged hundreds upon hundreds of hours into BF series but I feel like I'll get bored of this game pretty quickly.… Expand

Story:
Unlike most games, Titanfall doesn't have a single player story mode, it has a "multiplayer campaign" mode. But this MP campaign does a horrible job of telling the player a story. The way the story is told is through dialogue sequences that pop up while you're playing, similar to Borderlands 2. However, it's harder to comprehend what the forgettable characters are talking aboutStory:
Unlike most games, Titanfall doesn't have a single player story mode, it has a "multiplayer campaign" mode. But this MP campaign does a horrible job of telling the player a story. The way the story is told is through dialogue sequences that pop up while you're playing, similar to Borderlands 2. However, it's harder to comprehend what the forgettable characters are talking about since the game is fast paced, and there are explosions, titans dropping, A.I. bots fighting, and enemy pilots all around you. So you'll be more focused on trying to stay alive rather than listening to the dialogue (I recommend turning subtitles on to help understand the dialogue). This "campaign" had 1 job: to give us context to what we were doing. What planet and what solar system are we in? Why are the Militia and the I.M.C. fighting? Where did the titans come from? These are some of the many questions that the campaign never answers (you'll probably have to check the wiki for the answers). Besides a small cutscene that plays at the start of each of the 9 missions, there's no difference between the MP campaign and the classic multiplayer. Also, completing all 9 missions should take you 70 minutes, but to unlock the other 2 titans, you'll have to beat the campaign on BOTH sides. To make matters worse, I had to restart a few of the missions because some of the players in my lobby would back out. This "story" mode is tacked on trash. 1/10

Gameplay/Multiplayer:
Titanfall took things from multiple shooters and added some new things as well. The shooting and melee system is exactly like Call of Duty's, the parkour/free-running is similar to brink, and the movement is similar to Quake. The biggest thing that Respawn added is the addition of titans (mechs) fighting alongside infantry. Titan gameplay is similar to some of the other mech shooters out there with some cool abilities (a sheld that picks up projectiles and hurls them back at enemies, rocket pods, and electric smoke are some examples). The level design and the spawns are the game's highest points. There are 15 maps available on the base game, and all of them are well designed to cater to both pilot and titan gameplay. The spawns are also excellent, I played 12 hours of the multiplayer, and I didn't get spawn killed once. Another big new feature is the controversial A.I. bots. Even though the grunts and specters are extremely dumb, it doesn't hurt the game because the A.I's purpose isn't to be challenging and threatening, they're only there to increase the grand scale of the match (make it feel like Battlefield 4's 64 player matches), and to guide players to where the action is happening. Plus if you pay attention to the small dialogue the grunts say to each other, you'll know that they act dumb because they're suppose to make the players (pilots) feel like superior super soldiers (also explains why they can't use any abilities and why they move slow). So essentially, Grunts=Humans, Specters=Machines (that are suppose to take over infantry soldiers in the future), and Pilots (Players)=Spartans (Master Chief). So the bots aren't a bad thing to me. However, the biggest problem in the multiplayer is the lack of content available. As a pilot, you only get 10 weapons, 3 abilities, 12 perks, 3 sidearms, 4 anti-titan weapons, and 4 equipment. As a Titan, you get 3 titan choices, 6 weapons, 3 abilities, 4 rocket types, and 10 perks. There're also not many attachments you can put on either pilot or titan weapons. There's also no camos, character customization, or titan customization (only customization option outside of classes is gender). What's even pathetic is that you can't even name a loadout. Another problem with the game are the 90 SECOND PLUS LOAD TIMES which you'll be seeing a lot of. Balance is good (with the exception of the EVA-8 Shotgun. The smart pistol is weak against pilots), and burn cards (1 life abilities that boost your performance in-game) add some variety to your gameplay. Overall, the gameplay is good, but is lacking content. 7/10

Graphics:
The game is colorful, but is running on a last gen engine. So that means the textures are weak. Honestly, these graphics remind me of Black Ops 2. 6/10

Sound:
All the in-game battle sounds (gun shots, radio chatter, footsteps, titan sounds, etc.) are really good (even if they sound arcade-y). The only weak thing about the sound is the score. The score is extremely forgettable. Other than that, the sound here is great. 8/10

Verdict:
Titanfall is good, but EXTREMELY over-hyped. There's barely a story here, the Multiplayer lacks customization, the load times are aggravatingly slow, the graphics are last gen, and the score is barely noticeably. As much as the multiplayer is fun (and better than the last 3 Call of Duties), This game is not worth buying a $500 XBox One just to play. On PC, I recommend a price drop before purchasing. Keep in mind the game takes up almost 48 GIGS of space, and most of that is audio files. 7/10… Expand

This is not a freaking cod with mech's or cod with some extras! Jeez kids, DONT compare any new shooter to that god damn call of duty which is ruined a generation of FPS games! So about the game: the game is an awesome adrelaline pumping FPS. The infantry combat mixed with mech's is good in my opininon, yet sometimes calling in your mech makes you a target of the enemy!

Titanfall is a pretty good FPS (multiplayer only) shooter. What it does really well is speed up the movement and action from previous games like COD to near the speed of earlier shooters like Quake. Graphically it is serviceable but not quite completely optimized yet, maybe in future updates. That being said it is definitely functional on a decent PC (i'm running a GTX 680/ I73770K).Titanfall is a pretty good FPS (multiplayer only) shooter.

The game seems to lack depth of modes and weapons though, and that's really where I mark it down. It doesn't help the 'campaign' mode is multiplayer too, and completely horrible. I honestly have no idea what happened other than there was a militia and a big company opposed to each other and guys shoot at guys.

Even with the tossed aside campaign i'd be totally fine with Titanfall if it did anything new and interesting. I didn't pay $60 for it, and wouldn't recommend it at that price, but I had fun for about 10 hours until the modes just got too repetitive.… Expand
