    Titanfall is fantastic. The gameplay is fast paced, competitive and fun. I was very afraid of this game a while back ago, because of the bots, 6x6 players and CoD developers. But the beta really changed my mind. All the cons i was thinking would turn this game to crap turned out to be pros to the game. Bots dont takes out the fun of gameplay, but makes it more complex.

The quantity of players are fair enough for the maps have a really fair size for that. The smart pistol, is not that smart, in needs to lock the target three times before you can kill it, so you will be needing experience and skill to play with it so as the other weapons. The developers created a masterpiece, it is no equal to any Call of Duty or Battlefield, it is way better.… Expand

    For someone that's been out of the shooter genre for years this game was an amazingly fresh, fun and addictive jump back in. Mech combat adds a ton of fun, as does the parkor and wall running. A few more game modes, customization and weapons and it'll be perfect.

    Terrible game, 30GB of the 50GB is just bloated audio assets. It looks like a game from 2008, Activision must be kicking itself for not adding jet packs to call of duty because now you need jet packs to get GOTY critic reviews.

People complaining about no recoil and other odds and ends; Its a futuristic game in a made up world. You complain about all the games being the same then complain when its different from the norm. Make up your mind.

    My Cons:
    -Overpriced. Though a great game, it just doesn't add up in content like other games you get for $60. I really feel the game industry needs to get off the fixed $60 price and accually start charging fair prices for what you get.
    - No day 1 crossfire/ SLI support. This is the first game I've played in the past two years on my PC that has any issues with my crossfired HD 6850s. The fact I have to turn off crossfire to run this brand new game is rediculous. Apparently Respawn has addressed the issue and claims to have an update in the works.
    -6v6. Though not a deal breaker, This game would be so much better if it supported more people. Hell, make people spawn as grunts and randomly select pilots as they die off. That would make being a pilot that much more intense.

    All in all a refreshing game to play. We'll see if its worth the $60 cost in the long run.    … Expand

    For me, Titanfall feels as refreshing as when Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare came out on the Xbox 360 six years ago!

    Well after several hours playing Titanfall, I have to say- Overhyped. Not overrated, as the game is fantastic and exciting and a breath of fresh air compared to the CoDs of the world.

However, while I love single player in shooters I'm not going to complain at the lack of a single player campaign in Titanfall as that's not what the game is about. What I am going to complain about is the lack of depth in the multiplayer. It is, simply put, not a deep multiplayer. There are a good number of maps, but the game modes feel like something's missing (even though to be perfectly honest I can't figure out what modes need to be added.) I think in a game that's been hyped as changing the face of online shooters I expected Respawn to be the ones to come up with something to change the game. Turns out their answers were: a) giant robots and b) easy to kill AI.

    There's something to be said for the ease with which someone who is not a pro can hop in and FEEL like they are achieving something, even though at the end of a lot of matches I find out that I am actually not the powerhouse I thought I was. This is not a bad thing- the game is fun and manages to be fun even if you aren't topping the charts. However, at $60 will the game keep you entertained for as long as other "big box" shooters? That depends, really. I feel like the game needs more weapons (and maybe a little more balancing as a few of the weapons are brutally effective even in the hands of someone with poor aim.)

    Another thing worth mentioning- despite some minor login issues on launch day this game seems to have had the strongest launch in recent days for EA, which was refreshing as I had the game preloaded and was ready to go at midnight.

    Enough rambling, here's my breakdown:

    Pros:
    Adrenaline pumping, exciting shooting with very few lulls
    Excellent map design with no room for campers or dead spots
    "Verticality" means you WILL be running on walls and climbing in order to get a good vantage point, and you will love it.
    Easy to pick up and play even if you aren't a pro at twitch shooters.

    Cons:
    Shallow weapon progression/options means you'll likely stick with one weapon for a long time.
    Same 'ol, same 'ol game modes- none of the game modes really stick out
    Lack of party chat/VOIP support even though the game supports private party lobbies seems like an oversight.

    All told, 7/10. The game needs... more. At $60, I had hoped for a full vibrant experience, and while I really enjoy the game I continue to see the invisible wall that seems to have been set up to allow for paid DLC in the future. If this DLC comes fast and heavy, at an affordable price and with new maps, modes, weapons, and most of all TITANS (something else the game needs more of), then I think I will continue playing into the future. If not, well.. there's always Call of Duty, which while it's not fresh and new, it's a fully featured and realized game, something which Titanfall falls just short of being.    … Expand

    Bought the game yesterday because the beta was quite interesting and I really wanted to see how far the action goes. But to my disappointment it goes nowhere. The game is practically the same with the addition of a couple of extra guns, 2 game modes and boring a campaign.
    It would be reasonable to charge 10$ for this game, but 60$? Be serious.

Considering this game was made from a branch off Infinity Ward, the company is newer, so I wasnt expecting a very great graphic intense game. The graphics are good though like i said, a 7.5/10 for our time. The 6 vs 6 in the game is right on and makes the game enjoyable. No one wants 30 bots running around on a map at a time, that wont be fun. The campaign mode is fun, but note *it is a multi-player 6 vs 6*.. same thing as multi player but has dialog and a little story behind why you are fighting. I'm just angered at at the content.... It's low.. and they want to sell a little bit more content later for $25 more... If they add more FREE content the game will advance and be better in all. Just like the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. started small, ended up big after FREEEEE....FREEEE DLC. so again... game play 9/10... graphics 7.5/10... content 5/10… Expand

    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.

I haven't been able to get into one since the original MW. My issue with this game is not in what you have, but in what you don't.

    It has a lot of maps but many of them just feel the same. The complete lack of game modes is a huge turnoff. It just feels like you can only play basically 3 modes on repeat. Being deathmatch, capture the flag, and capture the 3 points. After maybe 5 or 6 hours of game time I could already sense how fast this was going to get old. Also the leveling system is a dumbed down version of call of duty's system. Some might argue it's equivalent but that just makes it a carbon copy at best. Nothing really innovative with it. We won't even go in the "campaign" because that's not even real. It's some voice over work with the same 2 game modes on repeat, and it doesn't make any difference if you win or lose.

    In the end the game lacks content. It's as simple as that. It feels as if they hyped it to an extreme and bought a lot of official reviews, because players everywhere just find it "ok". It comes off as either they are generating interest for Titanfall 2 or they plan to sell us all the actual content in DLC after charging us $60 to play 3 game modes for months. It doesn't have lasting appeal, and within 12 hours of purchase I had refunded my copy through origin. Take it as you will.    … Expand

For starters the campaign will only take you maybe 2 hours at the very most to beat, and 30 minutes of that will just be waiting in matchmaking and waiting in intermission, that's also including beating both factions. The story is VERY forgettable and is told during battle through voice overs and small view screen cut scenes which you won't even pay attention to because you'll be in the heat of battle. And non of what you do matters because all of the actual plot is done with the NPCs and you are usually just running distraction missions or downloading data by taking control points. I guarantee you will never play the campaign again after the first run which you will only play just to get the other 2 titan options which you get as pre made load outs anyways. All this aside it is really fun and its a great experience, and after the servers were patched after a really **** 45 minutes of **** around waiting to get online when it came out there hasn't been any issues finding games quickly.

    PATHETIC.

    ā€¦maybe Iā€™m just really bad at these gamesā€¦

    Let me make this clear: If you donā€™t like competitive, twitch FPS like COD, then this wonā€™t change your mind on the genre. Ground play is almost exactly like COD with the addition of wall running and double jumping. There really isnā€™t much more than that difference. I unloaded a full clip into someone that just shrugged it off and kicked me.    ā€¦maybe Iā€™m just really bad at these gamesā€¦

    Let me make this clear: If you donā€™t like competitive, twitch FPS like COD, then this wonā€™t change your mind on the genre.

    Ground play is almost exactly like COD with the addition of wall running and double jumping. There really isnā€™t much more than that difference. I unloaded a full clip into someone that just shrugged it off and kicked me. The kill cam showed I make only one hit, which is bull. This happens often.

    The addition of AI grunts is nice, I suppose, but act as cannon fodder and add no real challenge. One previewer mention that Pilots and Grunts look the same, which they do. More than once I was killed by a pilot because he was grouped with a bunch of Grunts and I picked the wrong one to shoot. Farming them is supposed to make less skilled players feel useful, but only highlight the fact that Iā€™m playing a multiplayer game, shooting AI thatā€™s dumb. That doesnā€™t make me feel useful. I never used the auto pistol because it replaces your main weapon and I donā€™t want auto aim to help me. It just feels cheap.

    Then there are the Titans, which adds a slightly new take on an old dynamic but itā€™s nothing not seen in Unreal Tournament, Halo, and Battlefield. They are essentially bipedal ā€œtanksā€ that deal large damage with rockets, chain or rail guns. Thereā€™re rather fragile but you get a chance to get a new one if itā€™s destroyed, which happens few times as the matches donā€™t last very long. You also get a chance to retreat to a drop ship if you fail, which is really the only cool ā€œnewā€ type of gameplay enhancement.

    No single player, but I donā€™t knock it down for that. COD and BF always have a generic, boring single player thatā€™s there to ā€œcheck the box.ā€ No one really buys these games for the single player and theyā€™re easily forgotten after beating them. The Multiplayer Campaign is rather a joke, throwing in some extra cut screens before the match begins with some added chatter from NPC while you play and after the round has ended. No one really pays attention to the story and plays the match like itā€™s a standard multiplayer match. Itā€™s even more worthless then single player games from COD and BF and should have been scrapped in favor a new mode or two.

    Graphics on the PC are good, very much to the level of COD or BF but not above and beyond. Sound is very good as well, with everything sounding as it should with some nice chatter from the game to make you feel as if there was more going on around you.

    The point is that everything feels like this could have been a new mode in an upcoming COD, sitting alongside of Zombie or Extinction. Nothing truly feels fresh or revolutionary. Nothing in the game gives anything to anyone that doesnā€™t have honed twitch reflects. Again, I may just be bad at games like this. Even so, it still didnā€™t change the fact I had no fun while playing. The Titans themselves, while cool at first, are a novelty that wears off after a few matches. They are nothing more than walking, bipedal tanks.

    If you love COD and BF then your might enjoy this game. From what those types of players are says, itā€™s great. But if you donā€™t like twitch FPS or are burned out and the same rehashed and reused formula, then pass on this one.

    Origin has the ā€œGreat Game Guaranteeā€ which allows you to play for 24 hours and return it for full price. So if youā€™re on the fence about it, buy it when you have a solid 12 hours to dedicate to the game and really see if you like it. If not, then return it for full refund. Thatā€™s what I did.    … Expand

    Here's what I found and I'll also explain my viewpoint.

    The game gets started right away with a minimum amount of fuss and a very intuitive and streamlined tutorial, anybody familiar with any type of fps should feel right at home. I breezed through the tutorial and felt comfortable getting into the game immediately.

    Playing my first game was a seamless experience, nothing overly complicated to get into a game with people and start shooting things, story was minimal, but I don't mind that when I know I'm getting into a game with the reputation for being a "parkour-shoot-em-up."

    Graphics look great, no complaints there, my system had most of the settings on medium/high so if you have a rig that can go higher, you'll probably have no issues with that either.

    However, the game play itself was haphazard. Attrition or holding hardpoints are the two of the main types of multiplayer, and I found myself running around and shooting at everything that moved without enjoying much of it. There was so much explosions and fanfare that I didn't have time to appreciate a really awesome shot or even enjoy the playing experience myself.

    Maybe because I'm a gamer that requires a bit more substance, but this game's type of throw everything in your face at once and see how you handle it didn't appeal to me. It was like TF2 but with mechs. Completely insane and fun gameplay if you enjoy that sort of thing, but I did not.

    I enjoy games where I know what's going on and can play strategically, this didn't feel that way. Perhaps it would have been better with a longer amount of playtime but I wasn't willing to risk 60 dollars for that. Returned it and am waiting a refund from EA's Origin system.

    I'm glad I gave it a chance, but if you don't like shooters to begin with, this "revolutionary game" probably won't change much about that.    … Expand

The parkour aspect of the game is the best thing in FPS gaming in a very long time. There is double jumping, wall running, and wall jumping. As soon as you get into that titan, you feel like a god. This is also the most balanced FPS game ive seen in a while. Its not like cod, because even if you have a bad weapon, the Parkour lets you get up close to surprise the enemy. As i stated earlier, the titans are very good, but if you know what you are doing, you can take them down pretty fast. You have a Primary, which is self explanatory, a secondary, which is also self explanatory, and a third weapon type, called an Anti-Titan weapon. These do extra damage to titans. As well as this, you can jump up onto the back of a titan and literally shoot its brains out, and the titan cannot shoot back. Although, if the titan has a smart pilot, they can get out of the titan, shoot you off, and get back in. Also, the requirements are relatively very small, which is always a nice bonus. There are many more good things about this game, although i will let you find out. The bad things are not really worth mentioning, as they are very small. There was a bug, at least for me. My gun was invisible, and my arms were glitched out and stretching everywhere and covering my screen. I could not see, and even when i got to and angle where i could, i couldn't shoot because my gun was gone. FIX: Go to your NVIDIA Control Panel, and switch it from automatically changing from integrated card and Graphics card to ONLY use the nvidia graphics card. This fixed the bug for me.… 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

    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.

A 10/10 game is once in a thousand and a 0/10 really shouldn't exist unless the game is almost non-existent. The user reviews in metacritic make the user score pointless.

    Anyway I'm giving it a 9, but would probably give it an 8.6 or so if metacritic let me.
    This game to me is the best multiplayer fps since the Halo 2 days. It's endless fun, and there's almost never a break in the fight. You're constantly on your toes: jumping, wall running, zip-lining, hopping on enemy and friendly titans, gunning people down, drop-kicking **** and crash your titan into the battlefield to wreck some ****

    Sure there's no real campaign, but they didn't advertise it as a story driven game, you know what you're buying. It's a beautifully crafted and balanced medium scale pvp fps. People saying it's just CoD with jetpacks, and parkour, and mechs, and an entirely different setting and gameplay dynamic.... well then it's not really just CoD anymore. If anything I'd say they've taken the good parts of the franchise(yes there are some) and applied it to this wonderful game. Knocking it for not being on sony consoles and being 60 dollars isn't at all a way to review the game itself. Could they have dropped it to 40-50 bucks? Sure. Will you get your moneys worth buying it for 60? Hell yeah, you could easily put 60 hours into this game in a couple weeks and much much more afterwards. You can always purchase it for less later on, it shouldn't reflect on the quality of the game though.

    In conclusion, look for honest reviews on this site, avoid 10's and 0's because they're both extremes of people who are too passionate to be honest. If you're an fps fan, buy this game. 9/10. The End.    … Expand

Now I'm not going to say that anyone who likes this game is 'a Microsoft fanboy' because you could just fire a 'fanboy' post right back at me. Fair dues to people who like this game. However I bet that those people like the Call of Duty franchise. Again, fair dues to you if you do, I'm not going to criticise you on that. However, I'm talking from the point of view of a Battlefield and open world loving gamer. For me, this game didn't add anything I hadn't seen before. I get more satisfaction out of blowing stuff up in Battlefield with massive 64 player teams than I do wandering around in a mech killing what were mainly AI with 6v6 teams. And this is one of the main reasons for this rating. After playing games like Battlefield, by comparison these maps feel cramped, the combat feels archaic and while the graphics aren't an eye sore they just don't have that step up above the rest that I for one have come to expect from games with this much hype. I can see people disagreeing with me and saying 'well the graphics don't matter, only the gameplay' and usually I would agree with you. I loved Prototype and at the time that it was released the graphics were nearing the quality of the last generation of consoles. The same goes for Star Wars Battlefront and so on. But I didn't care because the gameplay was just so good and for me that made the game. But with Titanfall I often found myself aiming at the floor because the recoil that I have come to expect from other first person shooter games just wasn't there. And believe me, when there's a crowd of four plus people in front of you and you're standing there shooting the concrete, it can get a little frustrating. But even with all of this mediocrity the game would have usually scored around a 5 or a 6 or even 7 (with a push) with me for being an average shooter with few new mechanics. But I digress, the main reason why this game scored so low is because of the disease that seems to be plaguing many decent games recently. I am of course talking about the dreaded 'Always Online Connection' or 'Always Connected DRM'. This means that if you lose connection to the internet, this wonderful new shooter you just bought... well... you can't play it I'm afraid. If this was the case with a studio such as Crytek or Activision I would say "sure, let's give it a chance!". But it's not. It's with EA. The studio that turned SimCity from my game of the year to that large pile of dust in the corner. I experienced first hand this always online, and there's no other way to put it, catastrophe and let me tell you that I thought EA had learned after this and would put the always online feature to bed. But no, they obviously haven't learned at all and that is why it has scored so low. My advice for this year is to get whatever console you want, they're both great consoles, but be aware that The Order 1886 and The Last of Us, two games I cannot wait to play, are both only on PS4 and that is what I shall be getting.… Expand

    A half finished game that fails to tell a story through multiplayer. Think of the failures brink had and then add dumb ai with larger maps. There are far too few choices of weapons and titans.

    The core gameplay in Titanfall is fantastic. The parkour is extremely fun and the game is very quick. It's extremely satisfying to run and jump around all the maps and a great change of pace to the common console shooter that has really slowed down FPS gameplay since the days of popular arena shooters on PC. The mechanic of titans themselves provide a great change of pace to add some weight and diversity to the combat.

    The maps themselves are fantastic. I'm a fan of all of them but one, with some varied environments among all of them. The visuals are nothing amazing, but the gameplay is solid and the framerate remains mostly stable outside of some issues entering Titans.

    It's unfortunate that there's no single player campaign for players to get into in Titanfall, but Respawn knows what they're good at and made the game they wanted to and knew they could.

    Finally, when we've had so many excruciatingly poor online launches of 'always-online' games in recent history, Titanfall launched without issue. I was playing prior to launch, and then as the game went live in the US I could continue to play. I haven't seen an online launch this smooth in a long time. Microsoft's Azure servers are clearly handling the pressure that Titanfall is applying to them.

    The game is just so damn repetitive. After about 5 games you've pretty much experienced the entirety of the game, and with no singleplayer there's nothing else to do aside from multiplayer. I've had the game for little over a day now and I'm already bored of it if I'm completely honest. The final game feels nothing new compared to the beta and it really is becoming tedious to play. The only reason I'm writing this review was because I just left the game out of sheer boredom and felt like writing a review instead of playing a brand new game I just spent Ā£30 on, that's how 'exciting' this release is to me. There is also a complete lack of weapons and game modes in Titanfall. If Call of Duty ever had any success, it was down to it having so many game modes to choose from and a rich variety of weapons to unlock. Titanfall has something like 5 game modes and barely enough weapons to keep the game fresh and make you look forward to unlocking stuff.

    An okay game to buy/play if it's on sale for Ā£10 in the future, but don't waste your time paying full price for a game you'll enjoy for maybe a week before never touching again. I'm also a big FPS player, and this is very disappointing for me.    … Expand

    Rushed to get a copy of this game, and haven't regretted it a single bit. Very awesome game. The graphics aren't half bad, quit complaining about them. This game balances combat evenly between both pilots and Titans.Great work Respawn.

    Very refreshing game. Sure, there is nothing really groundbreaking there, but the way all the small details of the game fit into each other perfectly is just amazing.
    Even for people who have been fed-up with Call of Duty's simplistic and repetitive gameplay, this game might be a great way to get back into fast, competitive multiplayer FPS.

    Your really have to experience the mobility aspect of the game for yourself to understand why this game feels great. Plus it is well balanced at release, that's some great QA here.

    Only two complaints tarnish the picture : the stuborn reliance on matchmaking rather than server browsing on PC is a shame, and the game modes are simple and could have been more immersive (dynamic objectives/map progression as in TF2, for instance), which might reduce replayability.

    Other than that, if you like old school FPS with a fresh polish and some nicely thought details, give it a try !    … Expand

I recommend buying this game for PC because the requirements needed on a PC are quite low, and even an old PC can handle this fine.

    Cons

    Matchmaking requires a lot more work to prevent stacked teams

    I think the game's greatest strength is the ability to start up a game, sit down, and get involved in some FPS gameplay with mechs, along with the insanity that goes along with it such as wildlife eating soldiers, dropships zipping through the air, etc. If the game has a weakness, the weakness lies with the matchmaking system.

    I can't really deduct points over not including a single player mode, only because the game wasn't advertised as such. Everything the game said it would deliver has been delivered so far, or so I believe. If you want a competitive FPS multiplayer game with a bit of a spin, go for it.    … Expand

You can play the way you want as long as you don't think you can get away with persistent camping. In TitanFall, the battlefield constantly shifts. There are no real choke-points. There's high points to ground level, left and right flanks. You can be attacked at any moment, you just have to be constantly kinetic to avoid being an easy target.

    The issue is that for a 60$ title the lack of content that comes upon release is unjustifiable. There are free to play shooters that give more content than Titanfall does, and this makes the price an instant refund for me, as while I enjoy the game immensely it is not worth the price and I do not want to encourage such prices on products that are not worth it from a content perspective.

    This took it from an 8 to a 6 for me, two other aspects about the game bothered me, the first and most important being the lack of something new from a game mode perspectve, and general generic design of said game modes and weapons (appart from attrition and the smart pistol) Respawn could have leapt forward but it feels like much of what they did was playing it safe.

    The last and less important point are the visuals, while they are of course not very important it shocks me that infinity wards most talented are incapable of working on anything else than an outdated and simplistic engine that is definately showing its age. Wether graphics are important or no after near a decade of use its time to put that old thing to rest, and use newer engines enabling more divergent and complex gameplay, as well as visual fidelity.    … Expand

    It basically just feels as if COD got a new fun mode like it did with Zombies and whatever else over the years. The Gunplay is exactly like COD, the camera movement animations are the same, even the UI and the x on the crosshair when you hit someone is the same. There are barely any modes, what is there is just what FPS games have been doing for 20 odd years now, just really boring. I was hoping for some innovation, just something more than what is just a new COD mode.

    The only differences come in with having wall running, double jumps and the mechs. These abilities are hardly worth full price for, especially seeing as it lacks content everywhere else. The mechs do not feel like mechs either, they just feel like playing a tall soldier with a texture around the outside to make it look like you're in one. When I play as a mech, I want to feel it, but in Titanfall they still feel more mobile than most soldiers in FPS games these days.

    All the maps are really bland, only one or two are memorable and there is no SDK for custom maps and mods, there is no server browser either, the whole thing is Lobby based. I just don't get why they would do this one PC, there is just too much downtime between matches as you wait for these stupid lobbies to count down and find players. I also hate how you cannot select what map you want with lobbies, at least with a server browser you can just play 24/7 servers which just play your favourite map.

    There is no single player, there is just very little to this game, it doesn't innovate and it just feels so meh, there is just nothing to it. I was hoping the inclusion of story into the multiplayer would pay off as well as L4D, it just isn't there however. They made a big deal about it all and yet there is barely anything..

    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

I also want to comment that I have a very poor internet connection(3G Data) and I never had any issue or felt that I was at a disadvantage as happens so often on this type of connection.

    Cons:
    -Repetitive game play is the name of the game. If you're a CoD fan and love running in circles all day and doing the same thing over and over you might enjoy this. The problem is all you're doing in this game is killing bots/pilots in order to get your titan. Rinse and repeat that's 100% of the game.
    - The bots are a absolute joke to the point where you can run into a room of 6 of them and slowly shoot them all in the head without taking any damage.
    - The smart pistol aka The biggest noob weapon ever released in video game history. Literally all you have to do is have someone in your field of view, wait a couple seconds and shoot.

    Overall its a game I'll play every once in awhile because its just too damn repetitive to play often. I would of rated it even lower on Xbox One but I'm running this game at 2560x1440p at 80fps so even if the graphics are not amazing, they are 3 times clearer then Xbox =D.    … Expand

    In the mind-boggling question that tortures world's biggest gaming studios (how to refresh the competitive FPS genreĀ), Respawn answers by taking the Call of Duty core, enhancing it with elements from various sources and franchises (Mech games, Crysis , Tribes, Mirror's Edge etc.) and forging it in the Old School mold (Quake/Unreal Tournament) . Titanfall does not innovate. It manages, however, to leave a fresh taste by balancing nicely all components of its gameplay.

    Titanfall is a highly entertaining online shooter, but it's a bit light on content for a full priced game. You quickly start to realize that Titanfall could desperately use more maps, more unlockables, more upgrades and more customization. [Apr 2014]
