It is everything I've wanted in a PC shooter recently, and it doesn't have all the baggage a COD or BF has to lug around. I feel like I got my money's worth. I do desire additional customization and matchmaking options in game, and I would gladly buy paid DLC for more content.… Expand

    Guys, letā€™s be realistic. For some of you the rush from playing the game is still not over and I understand. When I played the BETA I was so exited, for me Titanfall was a MUST HAVE, BUT my opinion changed at release.

    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

This is an mp only game that doesnā€™t deliver mp elements all that well. Games are regularly stacked, so one team is always crushing the other. And lobbies donā€™t shuffle players. So the imbalances will last until the losing players leave (which they will). Respawn is working on a fix. But itā€™s already too late. Anticheat was missing at launch, which is inexcusable. Titanfall is not a next gen game. Itā€™s a decent shooter, not a ground breaker. And Iā€™m tired of games having to be fixed weeks/months after launch. By the time Titanfall is patched up, I will have moved on to the next shooter. If you have $60 to spare, this is still a worthy title to own. But the lack of content leaves me scratching my head. Why canā€™t EA simply launch a game with everything intact? I think many players will leave before the Titanfall project matures. Thatā€™s understandable with a game that squandered so much potential. The following is my original review with a few tweaks.
    Overall, Titanfall isn't a bad game. I'm impressed with its smooth launch. But Titanfall has several mech-sized flaws. Foremost, the game is huge at 50gb; and nearly 35gb's of that are just sound files. For all that heft, the visuals and sound don't really blow me away. The textures are bland and random pop ups plague the environments. In fact, the game looks merely average. Despite the average graphical fidelity, the game will require most machines to work extra hard to pump out max graphics. COD Ghosts is huge as well, and it doesn't look great either. I hate to say it, but Titanfall doesn't look like a next gen game. But it's certainly a resource hog. And considering many PC gamers will install it on expensive (and limited capacity) SSD drives, a 50gb game is nuts.
    Next flaw: the game modes are little boring. The "campaign" is a series of team death match rounds with a half-baked, forgettable story. There are a handful of other game modes, but not the variety you'll see in Black Ops 2 or Insurgency. Respawn may add more game modes, but that's a big if. I think the developers where hoping that players would be blown away by giant mechs and parkour combat. It's fluid, but Crysis and Mirror's Edge still deliver the best parkour experiences to date.
    The maps are large enough, but I'm surprised by the complete lack of destructibility. Giant mechs running around and they can't overturn a car or shipping crate. This absence is extremely disappointing for a next gen game. Environmental chaos would have given Titanfall a tremendous edge and probably allow it to put BF4 and Ghosts to rest. Without destructive power, the Titan's are nothing more than metal suits with big guns. And that absence is so obvious I'm left wondering why Respawn left it out. So what if a pilot can jump high? I would have more fun punching thru walls and kicking trucks on my opponents while trudging around in a Titan.
    And obviously, the lack of skill based matchmaking and anticheat is a huge knock against Titanfall. Is this another example of EA pushing games out the door too soon? Or are the developers at Respawn that clueless?
    So what's good about the game? It runs smooth. Titanfall easily puts BF4 and Ghosts to shame. BF4 is still buggy months after launch, whereas I put 10 hours on Titanfall with only one crash. Titanfall also offers in game voice chat. So players wonā€™t have to find third party alternatives. Considering all the baddies running around, I'm hoping more players will use chat. The gunplay is tight. The hit detection is darn accurate too. In fact, itā€™s impressive. But weapon balance is merely OK. One hit melee kills, powerful shotguns, and auto lock pistols rankle nerves. Most players run with the same 3 guns. Much like COD. And the guns lack punch. Crysis 3 offered better weapon selection/upgrades that felt powerful. Finally, everyone gets a Titan! No building up a killstreak to drop a Titan. You get one simply by playing. This is a welcome divergence from COD's camp and build your killstreak formula. This should encourage players to move about more since death won't prevent them from hopping into their mechs.
    Final verdict. The game delivers a bigger rush than COD or Battlefield. Titans and random AI controlled grunts running around really pump up the pace. Additionally, I think many gamers will agree that BF4 and COD Ghosts are disappointing. Titanfall changes the formula enough while delivering gameplay weā€™re all familiar with. I agree that the game is a too streamlined, but itā€™s certainly fun to play. Titanfall trims the fat off shooters, a risky move. But despite its high production values, Respawn didn't quite deliver the game we hoped it would. The graphics are surprisingly average. The gunplay is tight, but boring. And the static, indestructible, environments are hard to process when piloting a walking tank. On the upside, the game runs smoothly. It's a blast to play. Controls are fluid and the parkour elements are easy enough to master.    … Expand

The only reason I declined to give this game a 10/10 would be the simple lack of content. After progressing 40 levels, I've found the same 15 maps and limited loadouts have begun to feel repetitive. I'm sure players out there have given up earlier, though many continue and prestige, so it's up to preference. Anyway, I think once DLC comes out, it should help.

    Titanfall has a lot of potential. It does well in most areas to treat the player to a balanced and fast paced experience, but I feel it doesn't quite reach the brilliance which people seem to praise.

    Making players feel like they already know Titanfall as soon as they pick up the controller/mouse keyboard is good. Making players fell like they have accomplished things is also good.

    Making players feel like they already know Titanfall as soon as they pick up the controller/mouse keyboard is good. Making players fell like they have accomplished things is also good. Making players feel like they are doing well in each game no matter what is even better. The Titanfall developers know what it takes to make a successful multiplayer shooter. AI controlled enemies on each team allow weaker players to still enjoy themselves as well as giving a faster pace to the game. Having these Titans and bots gives the game an interesting angle when it comes to completing objectives. It is fresh at first, but becomes stale early on. Wallrunning, Double Jumping etc also adds to the pace, and are a blast to use.

    My main problem with Titanfall is the lack of customizability. The lack of weapons, equipment and attachments also seem to be forgiven because the game was apparently designed for the competitive scene. Less weapons = easier balancing. I don't really see this game taking over the competitive scene at all, seeing as it also has the bots running about. But really there is no excuse for no customizability to guns and such. Even CoD has been doing that for years, and they rarely put effort into anything.

    In the end I feel Titanfall falls short of greatness because of it's lack of polish. It seems that the game is a demo of sorts, with a bunch of cool ideas moulded into a good time, but if given more time and love this could have been amazing. Here is hoping for Titanfall 2 to do it right huh?    … 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

    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

    -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 ā€œawkwardā€
    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 ā€œbracketā€ matches based on level and/or generations. Take a look at how Guild Wars and World of Warcraft allow you to ā€œshuffleā€ 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

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.

    HOW ABOUT MAKING A REAL GAME INSTEAD.. you know.The kind all core gamers who have been gaming for our entire lives have been yearning for ever since COD and other lackluster, pump one out every year, quick time events that don;t even deserve to be called video games took over the market.

    where has all this BS multi player only with a 4 hour story come from.. go back from whence you came filth.    … Expand

    Lack of content. You can't even make a private room now, no custom look, cant spec ..
    as always Origin sucks cocks with their servers .. too expensive and so on .. cons go on forever.

    But still i give 8 just because the gameplay is fun. a fun game is very rare these days.

    Stop it. Stop releasing console FPS on the PC. We really, really don't want to play this garbage.

    Titanfall is a derivative of COD, with a giant gimmick of mechs, which unsurprisingly is poorly implemented.

    PC gamers have higher standards for their first person shooters.

    Hawken is a better game than Titanfall.

    Titanfall's about as innovative as FPS games will get, and infinitely more fun than any CoD out there. I feel it defines the genre of FPS. While it is true that it doesn't have enough to be worth $60 contextually, it's worth it if you've been looking for a shooter that isn't either bad, or CoD. Or Battlefield, but don't get me started.
    All in all, worthy game, extremely fun, and only going to get better as more stuff is added in (hopefully not in the season pass. That's the only major negative).
    The worst part is: EVERYONE uses the same downright IDIOTIC argument: "zomg cod with mechs zomg time to go sacrifice me son to the gods of half life 2 now zomg", when that argument is wrong. Parkour fits into the game. Titans fit into the game. Does CoD have this? No. It has a terrible community, and that's all. Titanfall is unique. If anything, HAWKEN is CoD with mechs. It plays exactly like it, but you're in a box made from a kindergartener in a scrapyard. It isn't CoD with mechs. Stop being stubborn.
    I find it hilarious how people continually downvote the positive threads, even if it's only a 5. Evidence, you ask? Almost EVERY rating between 3 and 0 has EXACTLY 7 opinions on it, and usually 6-7 people who agree with it. It seems like a community of basement trolls has gotten together to hate and rage. The hilarious part? Most of them have the telltale signs of a raging retard who was too bad at the game to enjoy it. A fairly obvious tone of extreme anger, PITIFUL grammar application, and extremely low credit for slight flaws. This website isn't the slightest bit creditable when you want a non-bias review. I'd rather read one from Ignorant than one of the "terminate-all-originality" idiots here. Anyways, Fanboy attack from Battlefield headquarters?

    I made an accounts on Metacritic solely for Titanfall. The game is unbelievable. Is it worth a 10? No. Its not perfect.

Cons: Content Graphics Normal    This is a pretty long review! If youd like to skip to the summary, then go to the bottom!

    I made an accounts on Metacritic solely for Titanfall. The game is unbelievable. Is it worth a 10? No. Its not perfect. Ill make this very simple with cons and pros, then go more in depth from there.
    Pros:
    Intuitive
    Smooth
    Exciting
    Uh, Titans? Duh.
    ITS ALIVE!
    Cons:
    Content
    Graphics
    Normal Annoying FPS problems.
    Price
    Price
    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

    I would recommend Titanfall on either PC, Xbox One or Xbox 360 to anyone who has any of these three systems and enjoys first person shooters. The game has that just one more go feel that makes it so good. Graphically it's not amazing but the graphics do their job and yet the game is enjoyable.

    Titanfall is a great FPS shooter, and a fun one at that, but the sense of freedom in parkour, and overall experience are very short-lived, and don't really live up to their expectations.

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

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.

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

    Cons

    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]
