    Normally I don't like faster paced shooters, but this game was different to me. It was(at first) frustrating and unforgiving. I couldn't tell what was a bot and who could actually kill me. I didn't understand how to use the guns effectively or anything of that sort. To be honest, I was just about ready to put the game down and uninstall it out of frustration.

I couldn't tell what was a bot and who could actually kill me. I didn't understand how to use the guns effectively or anything of that sort. 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 one of the most enjoyable shooters I have played in years, when it comes to multiplayer. 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 playThis game is one of the most enjoyable shooters I have played in years, when it comes to multiplayer. 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

    First of all I want to congratulate Respawn for the perfect start of the game, I only saw one bug in the game for the first 2 weeks which surprised me and I was happy that we had a problem free release, not li other titles which I will not mention (CoD Ghosts, Battlefield 4). The game is fresh and dynamic, but nothing special.
    This game does not cost 60ā‚¬, itā€™s 30ā‚¬ max. So we have small maps, that are static, some destruction would have been good, but a little and not Battlefield 4 level of destruction, because if we have no walls we canā€™t wallrun. Extremely small customization options which is an insult to players, 12 weapons with 3 attachments each from which you can only use 2, are you kidding me? Call of Crap Casper has more options than that. 3 of the maps are boring and are designed for campers, where you can just take a sniper and not day even once. The single player campaign is a joke, you play it and you have no idea who the characters are and the levels are with pre-determent outcomes: on one match of Hardpoint Domination we totally destroyed the other team with 400 to 0 and we lostā€¦.WTF? I had the luck to play on the single player with a clan of ninjas and we finished both campaigns in less than 2 hours, it was in the likes of an hour and a half. With titles like CoD and Battlefield on the market I donā€™t understand how could you publish this kind of a game and expect it to be competitive to the big titles. There was even a rumor that Titanfall will replace Battlefieldā€¦..that is BS. May be it could have and advantage over CoD, but that is only if Respawn introduce something mindblowing with the Season Pass.
    That was the bad, now there are good thing about the game. Most of the maps are very well designed with breath taking backgrounds, I especially liked the one with the giant 4 legged animal which is fired upon buy a big ass turret. They are giving you more options in means of movement and stalking your enemies but not be able to camp in the corner like a little b*tch. The difference between the individual kits can actually be felt and seen, they are not just window dressing. And for the people that complain from the smart pistolā€¦.why donā€™t you guys try not dying for a change, because Iā€™ve been on both ends of that gun and any good player will tell you that itā€™s not that easy to play with it and that is easy to avoid it, but if you have a brain. My advice, play 2-3 hours with the smart gun, see how it works and you will be able to avoid been killed buy it.
    I give this game a 6, because itā€™s not a total loss, it has itā€™s good parts, if you are enthusiastic and want to play it go ahead and buy it, but not from Origin, because itā€™s not a 60ā‚¬ game. Go online and get it from an alternate online store, where itā€™s discounted to 30-35ā‚¬ max because that is the actual price of the game.    … Expand

Titanfall was great for the first few rounds, then it started to lose it's whole essence for parkour and high-speed action with the lack of those elements throughout the maps, and it started to feel annoyingly frustrating how there was no system for choosing which maps you wanted to play on whatsoever, and the in-game story didn't help ruining my experience either. Although it's optional to play the campaign, and optional to go through the in-game dialogue for this so called "story", it still feels irritating playing through the campaign missions, and just listening to the background noise the story really is. There is practically no story in the game, and the underdeveloped side characters that pop-up on the right-hand side of your screen seem to irritate even more and more the more often they speak. If the game wasn't put out as a "super high-speed fps", maybe I would even have time to listen to what they were saying, but it just helped to play some standard multiplayer without going through the campaign. The in-game menu for choosing loadouts felt weak, and lifeless, and was definitely the most bland out of all the shooters I've ever played. Without having the ability to name loadouts, without a real way to choose which stages you wanted to play on, and without having a proper set of game modes, the game made me feel that it was rushed, and was only put out earlier, not to keep fans waiting. All of that aside, Titanfall gave me freedom in it's category on a such a new level of gameplay, when I actually jumped into the action without any errors in the loading screen, or trouble getting to actually play, it was hard not to marvel how much of a technological advancement this game was, and how it tries and succeed to revolutionize the fps genre. The weapons are very balanced out, and I feel like the balancing between man and machinery was spot-on, and it was a masterpiece to play through. Overall, Titanfall surprised me in one sense, but left me hanging, begging for more in another, this is a fun, fast paced game, and definitely is will not be a waste of money... If you don't care about background noise, and a silly loadout screen anyway...… Expand

    The game handles well mechanically it doesn't give you a deep experience like I would have hoped. There is a paper thin XP system for weapon progression, the game types are cookie cutter, and match making team balancing is laughable to the point of comedic value.

    So let's talk about Mechs. They're the star of the show and all of the media after all right? Perhaps not so much. The differentiation is very minor and a little disappointing. That said I've recently been playing Hawken whose business is Mechs so I may be holding the standards too high to Titanfall.

    While Titanfall tries to do some interesting things with burn cards and parkour it falls flat when in sustained value. When you take into consideration this is hyped to be an AAA title worth the $60 it simply should have delivered more to the plate.    … Expand

I couldn't even play the game without crashing as much as 80 % of the time I played it. now I only crash like 15-20% of the time I play it now. maybe less. still consistent. But that is just a part of the heap of problems this game has. What's more it has ridicilous load times, which was recently even furthered by some patch meant to fix something else. Maybe it has to do with the ridicilous 50 gigabyte folder that you will have on your computer when installing this. maybe that's why it takes so long to load the right files. 50. gigabyte. Whereas 35 gigabyte (!) is uncompressed soundfiles, which of half is likely nonsense dialogue that nobody gives a damn about. The best game sound I've heard comes from the battlefield series, I dare say bad company 2 had the best sound in the series. and that was four years ago, and it still trumps this uncompressed sound. And that game is 8 gigabytes large. I can't say I've had much technical difficulties when I finally get into the game (besides crashing of course), so that's all good.

    And then there's the gameplay aspect, ah yes. My first complaint would be the absolutely horrid matchmaking system. If you've ... say played a halo game online, you will know how this works pretty much (except some crucial differences I'll get to later). The likeness is in that when you lose a game, you will have to quit, because otherwise you will still get pit against the winning team of the last round, which consistently consists of much much much higher ranked people. people who have gotten as far as generation 3+ and beyond. So it's not much use staying there. And there the load times come in again. because you have to login to the main multiplayer menu for some reason, which would take 15 seconds or something. What is good, however is the gameplay, which gives you a regular shooter experience and also the opportunity to pilot a mech. All of this works well and is pretty well balanced. Except maybe that... if you use a gun without silencer you show up as a big dot on your enemies minimap. which kind of sucks, cause then you're likely gonna die. it even shows what height you are standing for your enemy. The guns feels more killzone than CoD strangely enough. Oh and the story is really uninspiring. Maybe this is worth it on a console, because it's not as poorly optimized there (I would not know).    … Expand

There are 2 cool campaign Normany invasion style maps, other than that not much. After you finished campaign the only thing to do is play online and do the same thing over and over. There is some fun to be had. The action is fast paced, Titans bring a new element to the gameplay and Smart Pistol is an unique weapon that could be a lot of fun. But, honestly where is the rest of the game? Did EA really charge us 59.99 for this? I don't care if the DLCs coming up will make the game legendary. They lost their trust and reputation by holding back content so they can release it in a future DLC... that is the risk they take by doing that. The competitive feeling is absent because you are pretty much killing bots most of the time. Titan gameplay is pretty much shoot, kite and regen shield. The Titan upgrades that exist are not balanced at all. Some upgrades are useless while others are OP. Not even the main attraction; Titans, don't make it worth it. Little unlocks and it doesn't feel satisfying. The first thing I noticed about shooting a Titan is how unsatisfying it is. It's like they forgot the animations for taking direct damage. The only thing that signals damage is sparks and fire after a Titan loses x amount of health. Is this new gen or old gen?

    I can't believe all these major reviews that gave this game such high marks. That's the only reason why I bought this game. I'm convinced a large percentage of those major reviewers are bribed by EA. There is nothing innovative about this game at all. It's a joke. Wall running is nothing new and it doesn't offer some new FPS mechanics... it's only used to get around places. Titans doesn't feel innovative as well. It basically feels like a BF4 tank that move faster, can punch and use other powers. I had more fun playing as a Mech in Natural Selection 2(which is an indie game that often goes on sale for $2 and is far and beyond better than Titanfall). This game doesn't change anything. It's just another over rated shooter that proclaims to be the next best thing. Unfortunately, you can see the greed of EA by the lack of content in this game. They want people to buy their season's pass. I learned my lesson, if it's by EA and offers a season's pass: DO NOT BUY IT.

    It can be a fun game if you like fast paced action. The severe lack of content and unbalanced game play however, simply ruins the game for me. Not worth the full retail price. Wait for the game to go on sale or just don't buy it. I'm only giving this a 0 because there are way too many over rated reviews. I would have given it a 4. If you are put off with games that are repetitive and have no content than do not buy this.

    Bottomline is game's not worth it. I know other successful games like TF2 you only kill stuff, but there is much more to do in TF2 and you don't get bored of it. The only thing you are doing in Titanfall is shoot stuff and call your lackluster titan. I regret buying this game. If I can stop even one person from buying this game then it makes writing this review worth it.

    - Smart Pistol
    - It does a good job of making every player feel like a badass because of the endless wave of bots

Tactical situations can't develop since the game is too fast and confusing. Double jump from the air? Yeah, right! Game has blatant disregard for the laws of physics.

    Still for 60 Euro I'd expect a nice single player campaign (like Mass effect), because the PvP became boring after 1-2 hours of play.

    Not worth the money at all.    … Expand

    Pretty entertaining, but it's basically like Counterstrike for 60 bucks. I think the game lacks a lot of and the need for skill. After 30-60 minutes, you're sick of doing the same thing over and over again. If you are filthy rich, I'd recommend getting this game. It's fun for short little stints. For everyone else, save your money.

    I sincerely don't understand the hype. It is a nice engine with boring gameplay and boring content. Even though the maps are different, it barely matters --- it feels like the same round over and over.

    112 Minutes were spent playing (Which is merely fun-ish. By the way, the parkour isn't that useful- it requires your complete focus, and I always scored better when I just played like a normal FPS and mostly ignored the parkour aspects)

    68 Minutes were spent WAITING to play. Over one hour of my time, that day, was spent WAITING. First, you WAIT for enough players, then you WAIT through a voice over explaining the mission, and then you WAIT (yes, even more waiting) through 30 second or so cut scenes that you watch over and over and over again. They stop being cool the third time you play the same map.

    I could go on about the massive size (50GB), the ridiculous price point ($60-$80 USD), the poor optimization (34GB of uncompressed audio files, for example), the low quality graphics (10 year old engine), but as I said you can read a dozen of those here already.

    If you want this game, make sure your OK with it WASTING so much of your TIME.    … Expand

    Completely overhyped garbage, it has nothing new to offer, graphics aren't next gen(for a next gen game), autoaim, smalls maps, bots, no single player and they charge 60$ for this trash, the only people who can like this is console users and COD kiddies. Oh yea now lets wait for 15$ dlc each few months, don't buy this. Ill give it 1 because it has futuristic setting.

    PC version has assisted-aiming when you plug an Xbox controller into your computer. The game feels like a console shooter to the max. Complete trash, avoid this really bad shooter and pick up a good PC shooter like Arma, Counter-Strike, Insurgency, Red Orchestra, etc.

    The game feel like a beta release. The auto pistol kills everything so fast and with instant kick kills the balance is very off. The titans ends up being a gimmick that is best to let him auto follow you while you cleaned up all of the other players/nps's.

    It's Call of Duty with robots. That's it. If you are shooting at an enemy and get 7 hit markers, nope he still gets the melee kill. The parkour is fine, the titans are fine and shockingly well balanced to the entire game. It always boils down to the same call of duty twitch shooter gameplay that we've had for years though.

    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.

    To sum up Titanfall is simple. Over hyped. This is over rated by almost all of the major reviewers out there. I believe that once trusted sites such as Gamespot, IGN and others are losing their integrity by giving this game more than it justly deserves. A good 6.0 out of 10.

    The graphics are not even last gen, they are 2004/05 at best. The gameplay feels clunky and the so called campaign is a joke. The AI is the worst I have experienced in many years. The only redeeming qualities of this game is the actual Titan concept. This has clearly been a copy and paste job like a sandwich with multiple spreads ripping ideas from Battlefield 2142 and shoving them into a Call of Duty universe / gameplay style. I can only give it a 3.00. Mainstream reviewers should be ashamed of themselves for praising this farce.    … Expand

    Let me start by saying that this game is hard for me to review because it is a good and bad game at the same time. First off, this game is an absolute blast to play. It is quite addicting and far better than Call of Duty ( sorry CoD fans, but it is a different game). The gameplay is fast paced and the level design has you think way more than the other FPS (so much so that other FPS gamesLet me start by saying that this game is hard for me to review because it is a good and bad game at the same time. First off, this game is an absolute blast to play. It is quite addicting and far better than Call of Duty ( sorry CoD fans, but it is a different game). The gameplay is fast paced and the level design has you think way more than the other FPS (so much so that other FPS games feel slow now and my play style is more aggressive than before.) The bots serve a great purpose so that a gamer like me, who hates competitive multiplayer shooters, survives and feels more comfortable going up against many seasoned players in the genre. Then comes the bad.

    When it comes to online gamers, you meet cheaters and right now there are plenty. There is also a lack of modes and customization, which is a minor grip that I'm sure they will add as time goes on, with lovely micro transactions (sarcasm added).
    This next con is probably why you won't buy the game... you try to get on and the servers are down or you can't find a group to play with for 2-5 minutes because you have to play with someone because it's an online-only game. You can't even do training without being online. They could have made an offline Bot Mode to pass your time as they fix problems with servers or just to train and feel comfortable with the game in a simulated environment. I am not mad at there not being a single player campaign, but to create a single player experience that could quench the thirst of playing in short time situations of life. Like... when you are in a rush, but you want to play a quick game before you go or plain old pausing to go to the bathroom would be nice. I do feel that the game is over priced due to lack of modes, offline options and with no word as to if they will add these things I would say if you don't get it now, don't get it. I'm not sure how long the community will last and without any sort of single player experience, there would be no way to come back and get a taste of what you remembered.    … Expand

    I was waiting for a game that would blow me away and break the oligopoly of Battlefield and Call of Duty. Here it is. Titanfall shows that online shooting does not have to be confined to contemporary battlegrounds. [05/2014, p.42]

    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]
