    I have had a lot of fun in the online of Titanfall 2. The campaign isn't something for me, but it's titans are really fun to play with. My favorite part is the fast-paced multiplayer modes. My favorite is Bounty Hunt, you kill robots for money are deliver it to banks. But, the private server options are bs.

    Still one of the best shooter of the PS4 Xbox generation , the movement mechanics just get better the more you play it and the story will stick with you it's not the deepest one but it has an emotional called that makes it fun all the way, and I would say that this is one of the best call of duty games ever made

More story missions would be incredible, but along with any future multiplayer DLC releases, I'm hoping for not just the addition of maps, but weapons, tactical abilities, etc.

    Pros: Good quality and great graphics. Good multiplayer, but amazing campaign. One

    of my favorite stories in a console game. The story makes me wish they would make another story and new game even though this game is basically brand new. Cons: In multiplayer there are a lot of people who lag and it throws you off quite a bit. Rarely, but still possible, there are a few crashes.    Pros: Good quality and great graphics.

    Cons: In multiplayer there are a lot of people who lag and it throws you off quite a bit.

    Rarely, but still possible, there are a few crashes. There should be more maps in

    multiplayer and the maps they do have don’t connect with the game except for the map

    called Complex.

    The creators of Titanfall 2 are a company called Respawn with association to EA

    Sports. The console I play on is Xbox 1, the game runs very well with it. It is a first

    person shooter with many other characters to play as. The game itself is one of my

    favorite games to play. It almost never gets boring. To buy the game new for Xbox it’s

    about $59.99 same with PS4. The game is amazing you should try it.

    I got the game as a present for Christmas and what I found out was that it’s a

    little too easy to level up, and that you also play against G10.49’s(which is the highest

    level you can be) and other high level people. Which in some cases might not be super

    good. But playing with the good guys only makes you better, so that can be good or

    bad, if you like things easy. Each game lasts 10 mins or sometimes you join a game

    that already started. Titan-fall 2 has about 12 different game modes. The most played

    game mode is Attrition or Mix-tape. Attrition is literally team death-match and Mix-tape is

    just a bunch of other game modes, but it will choose a random game that is in it’s

    database and will join you on any of the game modes.

    My experiences with the game are pretty good, only a few times I get a little mad

    when I die, but those are human errors not the game. When I got the game for

    Christmas The first thing I did was play the Campaign, which I thought was good. The

    setting is on a planet called Typhon and time wise the whole story took place within 18

    hours. The main criminals are these bounty hunters. They are working for this big company called the IMC. The IMC takes land from the 9th Militia and destroys it. Your mission is to stop the IMC from using a super weapon on the planet Harmony. You are accompanied by a Titan named BT-7274. That's the basic knowledge you need to know for the game. I would recommend this game for people who like to play Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Destiny. This game is not good for kids under the age of 9 because it shows parts where people get blown to pieces and heads shot off. They may not be so happy about the game when that happens.    … Expand

The addition of a single player was much needed. The campaign is fairly short depending on which difficulty you play, but it is an excellent introduction to the game and it's mechanics. It is engaging, fun, and seemless. It brings back elements from old games where you had defined boss battles and gives a bit of nostalgia for the older generation of gamers.

    The multiplayer has had its ups and downs from the start but respawn had been highly active in ensuring balance and fairness in the game. You're always going to have your naysayers, and the game can den to have net code and server/client rock rate issues at times bit for the most part the gameplay is fast paced, exciting, and different everytime. The mechanics smooth, movement is smooth, and you always feel like you can learn more. The leveling up system has changed from the first and it is pretty basic and straightforward. This is good for newcomers but for those of us use to the first one, it feels bland. The lack of challenges in regeneration is sorely missed.

    The change to the titans was much needed. Many compassion about the lack of customisation from the first game, but the first game devolved into everyone using the same loadout and quickly became boring. This new style allows people to master a style that suits their play, or try to get comfortable with something new. The titans themselves have a rock, paper, scissors feel to them and each one had their best and worst matchups. You could be dominating one minute and then turn around and be facing your greatest weakness. This really forces players to think strategically and figure out how to best use their titan and set themselves up for success, or utter failure.

    The maps themselves have become more lane based, but they have included, and continue to include old maps. This again is to appeal to newcomers use to call of duty games. This helps with getting use to the games mechanics and the old feel is still there once you get use to the movement. This also allows for more predictable engagement areas and less chaos than the first one. This does not mean that you don't have to be as aware of your surroundings, far from it. Those who get good at the mechanics, movement, and learn the maps, can still bring their own form of chaos.

    This is van be a severe problem for new players who are still learning. They may feel like they are just being dominated and cannot contribute, this being no fun. But again, this game requires you to learn something that is new to first person shooters. Call if duty players seem to have the hardest time adjusting to this. But trust me, it is easy more fun to learn this system and gives a real sense of accomplishment when you wall run kill somebody and then drop down to execute a player, and then hop back up and fly across the map to leap into your newly dropped titan, only to completely change your mindset and strategy and engage the titan that had been wrecking your team.

    This game is worth the money, and i can promise you'll enjoy investing hours of gameplay.    … Expand

    An improvement over the original "Titanfall". This sequel felt like a complete game from day one. Respawn Entertainment added a single player campaign that felt truly inspired, while multiplayer was expanded upon. Fans of Apex Legends should seek this out as it is a prequel to that Battle Royale shooter. I would rate this with a 9 out of 10.

    Titanfall 2 is a game that I overlooked for 2 years but I decided to get it and that's a decision i do not regret. The single player was great in my opinion but the multiplayer, while extremely good, did get repetitive after a while. I would've enjoyed maybe one or two more titans but the game was so good it barely needs it. In my eyes, Titanfall 2 is a must have.

    You play as Rifleman Jack Cooper, a pilot-in-training under the guidance of Captain Lastimosa, both of whom are serving as members of the Frontier Militia who are at war with The Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation or IMC. Cooper and Lastimosa are both called in to combat on the IMC controlled planet of Typhon. A short combat sequence ensues before Cooper and a group of Frontier MilitiaYou play as Rifleman Jack Cooper, a pilot-in-training under the guidance of Captain Lastimosa, both of whom are serving as members of the Frontier Militia who are at war with The Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation or IMC. Cooper and Lastimosa are both called in to combat on the IMC controlled planet of Typhon. A short combat sequence ensues before Cooper and a group of Frontier Militia are ambushed by The Apex Predators, lead by Kuben Blisk, who are a group of contracted mercenaries working for the IMC. They massacre the Frontier Militia soldiers and leave Cooper for dead. However, Captain Lastimosa sacrifices himself to save Cooper's life after he is mortally wounded in combat and BT-7274 is rendered immobilized. His last action is transferring over his pilot authorization to Cooper, making him BT's new Acting Pilot. After restoring BT's power cores from nearby downed airships, it's up to them to uphold the mission that was to be carried out by Captain Lastimosa.

    The game's overall plot isn't much to write home about; it's perfectly fine. The one thing worth highlighting though is the relationship development between Cooper and BT. While initially tense and kind of awkward, the two of them begin to warm up to each other as the story progresses with BT offering assurance to Cooper in regards to his combat efficiency and Cooper trusting BT with his decision making. This goes a long way towards humanizing both characters despite the fact that one of them is a giant mech fighter. BT will also occasionally drop some pretty deadpan one liners that made my face perk up with a smile. I won't spoil any of them, since they need the proper context and gameplay experience.

    At first, an interesting addition is the dialogue choices presented to the player, something that doesn't normally crop up in most modern FPS. However, in practice, there's only 2 options and it usually boils down to either playing it straight faced or adding a tinge of dry wit to the conversation. Don't expect it to influence the story or gameplay in any capacity. It does help you bond with the two characters a bit, but that's about all it's good for.

    The core gameplay loop is split between playing as Pilot Cooper and controlling BT. As Cooper, the traversal and combat mechanics are superb. You can wall-run, double-jump, climb and slide so smoothly and seamlessly. Couple that with punchy, fast-paced combat mechanics that rival the Call of Dutys and the Battlefields of the genre and you have a gameplay loop that's endlessly fun to engage in; there's nothing more satisfying than wall running while cutting down enemy soldiers with a submachine gun. The wall-running and double-jumping abilities add tons of verticality to each level, allowing the size and scale of the levels to feel enormous; you are but one measly soldier in a giant, hostile world. The weapons are all standard to the FPS genre. You have pistols, submachine guns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, LMGs, rocket launchers, energy weapons, grenades and remote controlled explosives. The weapons all handle incredibly well and all have really unique designs.

    Taking control of BT is never not euphoric, as you enter combat with other Titans and crush soldiers underneath your giant robot feet. Despite the massive nature of the Titans, combat and movement still flow rather well and can still be exciting. You have the ability to dodge enemy attacks. You can switch out various loadouts on the fly, which is nice, thus changing the types of weapons and abilities of BT. You can unlock various loadouts through story progression as they're very hard to miss during the run of gameplay. I never really found myself gravitating towards any one specific load out since they're all balanced rather well and each have there own advantages and disadvantages. If I had to pick one, I'd say the "Scorch" loadout was my favourite because lighting things on fire is never not satisfying and I probably just put myself on a watch list by typing that out...

    My one tiny criticism of the Titan loadouts is that the magazine sizes on the primary weapons all feel rather meagre. I found myself reloading way more than I wanted to and it can kind of screw with the pacing of the game. Thankfully, the Titan loadouts also come with a lot of other weapons at your disposal such as shields that can catch and throw enemy projectiles back at them and a hover mechanic, just to name a few. You can also build up your Weapon's Core mode that, when activated, deals a massive barrage of death and destruction to anyone in the way.

    Another criticism I have is with the Boss fights; they're all largely forgettable. Most of them take place in areas that feel too similar to areas that feature run-of-the-mill gameplay. The one boss fight that actually pulls this off is the one against Viper.

    Overall, Titanfall 2 provides an incredibly fun and action oriented gameplay experience.    … Expand

There's a full-fledged campaign with a narrative that's much easier to follow, explaining the IMC/Militia war on what is known as the "Frontier" (life away from Earth as humans push to populate and reap the resources of other planets) and the intricacies of Pilots and their Titans. Overall I find the narrative to be a solid selling point of the game, though at least in its early-goings could use a little polish. The overarching theme feels a bit like Pacific Rim but doesn't always land the intimacy that the many facets of the story are aiming at. That's not to say that it's bad, or even just so-so - I found it to be pretty engaging (I hadn't expected a whole lot from this side of the game). A lot of the crew making this game are remnants of the team(s) involved with Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2, so the quality that's there is of no real surprise. However, while the campaign is the new blood to the series in its still-infancy, the multiplayer continues to be the most honed of the game. Though Black Ops 3, Halo 5 and Advanced Warfare have taken their stabs at improved mobility in the midst of fast-paced combat. There's a few obvious additions to multiplayer: more weapons, new abilities, new Titans, new maps... mostly expected of a sequel. But what's really special is how these additional elements are tastefully added to the already-competent mix to help further motivate a game that's big of movement, strategy, and big-metal combat to broaden its horizons without deviating from its roots. You'll find that Titanfall 2 firmly entrenches itself as the new behemoth on the block, challenging Call of Duty, Halo, and even the fantastic Battlefield series by being more imaginative than the competition. Lastly, you'll find the environments in Titanfall 2 to have considerably more detail. It's mostly nuanced, but level design is noticeably improved over the first game. Lighting effects sometimes catch your eye and nearly pull you out of whatever moment you find yourself in, only to be snapped back sharply when a couple transformer-looking mechs come steaming through, forcing you to strategically proceed or get the heck out of dodge. Titanfall 2 does a lot to be better than its foundation-setting predecessor - converting missed opportunities into good ideas, not trying to be everything to everyone but simultaneously taking into consideration fan feedback to begin to hone what I think is going to be called the best shooter of 2016. If you loved Titanfall already, you're just going to love Titanfall 2 more. If you were on the fence before or just couldn't fully embrace Titanfall for the long-run, this game could seriously change your mind. Only those with a great distaste for this genre of video games will walk away without any feeling of satisfaction.… Expand

    An expansion on it's predecessor in every way. The gameplay has been refined to make for an even smoother experience. The multiplayer is still very much Titanfall, but many significant tweaks make it feel even better to play.

The multiplayer is still very much Titanfall, but many significant tweaks make it feel even better to play. There's less AI running around, mobility is increased with more options in the environment, and there are new ways to customize your titan to your liking. There's also a healthy dose of new modes to choose from, fixing one of the few complaints people had with the original.

    The balance is still impeccable. You've got massive titans, AI controlled enemies, and the player controlled pilots all running around in the same match. The fact that you always have some way to defend yourself and combat any opponent is impressive. It all feels incredibly fair and you always have the tools you need to survive.

    Of course, not everything is perfect. If the multiplayer has one issue it would have to be the match epilogues. During these epilogues the losing team has to wait for a dropship to arrive and then try to get on it. The winning team has to try and stop them. The issue is that the winning team has kind of an unfair advantage in this area. Considering that they don't have to wait for the ship to arrive, they can just camp around and pick you off while you try to get on. No which team you're on you don't respawn when you die. You just get to watch the rest of the match play out. Something that can be frustrating considering you may have to wait a while if you get killed early on. The whole epilogue concept is interesting, but a tad frustrating. Even with all of the time I put into this and the first Titanfall, actually escaping on the dropship is something I've only managed to pull off once.

    One of the main issues people had with the first Titanfall was the lack of a campaign. When I first heard that Respawn Entertainment was going to include one this time around I was a little worried. Not only did the first Titanfall not actually need a campaign, but I was concerned that they might just phone in the campaign just to say that they had one and to satisfy those who complained. I am very happy to say that wasn't what happened at all.

    Respawn Entertainment pulled out all of the stops for their single-player offering. Everything that makes Titanfall's multiplayer unique is found in the campaign. You get to interact with your own titan, make use of the game's excellent platforming mechanics, and gain access to some exciting tools that make for some incredibly memorable moments. There are so many inventive scenarios and the whole thing is brimming with personality. The story falls a bit short, but the gameplay is so well done and the experience is much more than your average FPS that it's easy to forgive it's few faults like predictable AI and the occasional frustrating boss battle.

    Titanfall 2 does a lot to push this new series forward. The result is a much better game that grew in the areas it needed to. A few minor annoyances and faults from the first are still present, but they ultimately don't mean much in the grand scheme of things. Titanfall 2 has some of the best multiplayer on the market right now, and probably the best single-player FPS offering of 2016. Clearly Respawn Entertainment went all out and poured everything they had into this. The results paid off wonderfully and gave us multiplayer and single-player experiences that, while not perfect, really shouldn't be missed.

    Make no mistake: TF2 IS better than TF1. It has an enjoyable campaign with impressive platforming elements (if you were frustrated by Mirror's Edge, try TF2). Bounty Hunter is a very smart mode requiring both skill, tactics and strategy.
    But the campaign is short and with many characters I WANT to forget (BT, the titan, is good fun. Everything else is totally nonsensical and poorly acted). There's no coop. Even the modes with PvE elements will be too tough on rookies. The result is that 6 months after the game came out we already have issues with matchmaking - which creates a vicious circle in which new players will have trouble entering into the game and the player counts will dwindle fast.
    In the end we have a good core suffering from some weird choices & the fact that the company just doesn't have the budget to compete with the behemoths of the genre. A 7.5    … Expand

    Titanfall 2 is fast, fluid, and action packed with a really fun campaign and lots of different multiplayer modes to choose from. There are some downsides to the campaign and a few other minor problems throughout, but It’s a great deal for the $60 cost and I would fully recommend supporting these developers so they are able to make another game, regardless of EA’s terrible marketing.

So much fun to play, and I was praying to god that they would come out with a sequel. Not only did they come out with a sequel, but they came out and said that yes they've listened to all of the communities' requests, and IMPLEMENTED them into the game. No more player-splitting season pass, FREE FREAKING DLC, MORE WEAPONS AND TITANS, an AWESOME single player campaign, ( Jack: "Get the ark out of here!" "What are you doing?!?!" BT: "Protocol 3, in a badass voice: I will not lose another pilot!") albeit being a little too short, (they can make it longer for the third game) and excellent balance between the weapons for pilots. Although there are some issues, and I'll quickly go over them. 1: There are some titans that are just insanely powerful right now, and could use nerfs, Tone and Leigion. Not saying you can't beat them, it's just that they're the absolute top dawgs (heh heh) when it comes to one on one titan fights, which will happen a lot of the time. I don't want to go over exactly what they should do to nerf them, (you'll see why once you fight them) but their pick rates are so high compared to the others, (not saying that all the other titans aren't viable, all of them can dominate with practice) that I feel like maybe they could use some touching up. Also, Northstar could use a small buff, although not too much, because she is a good class, but people on PC say she sucks compared to the others. I play on Xbox 1, but they could be right, so hopefully that'll come out. Also, they got rid of Burn Cards which totally sucks, and replaced it with a more simple boost system that kinda acts like it, but not really, and I wish that wouldn't have been the case. Other than those small complaints though, I'm pretty sure Respawn will take care of it, and I'm sure I will play this game for years. I'll also hope to join the ESL Xbox 1 Pro Leagues for this game too, if there will be any! Would love that! PLEASE buy this game!… Expand

    The campaign of this game is a gem, but I like the CODs campaigns, so it's easy for me to have fun with this one.
    About the Multiplayer, I think there have few improvements between this and the old Titanfall, but I have to say that the maps on this one are really, really bad in comparison with the original.

    It's a good game in overall, but the maps on the MP have to get better

    Feeling a bit dated
    Titanfall 2 is the debut of this series to PlayStation and with this debut comes with an added 6 hour campaign… And this campaign is far greater than I had any hopes of it being in some cases, while in others really letting me down... Starting with the good, the gameplay and story here does an awesome job of pulling you towards the credits.. Very early    Titanfall 2
    Feeling a bit dated
    Titanfall 2 is the debut of this series to PlayStation and with this debut comes with an added 6 hour campaign…
    And this campaign is far greater than I had any hopes of it being in some cases, while in others really letting me down...
    Starting with the good, the gameplay and story here does an awesome job of pulling you towards the credits..
    Very early on you become the pilot of a titan named BT and as you play through the story you slowly create a bond with this machine that quickly feels like a living breathing creature…
    The banter between you as the pilot and your titan during dialog choices was a highlight for me and had me cracking up as he’s trying to understand human emotion, or comprehend expressions taking them literally…
    The campaign has you switching back and forth between being on foot and being in your titan,
    And both are so fun and feel so great, but there’s far more focus on being a grounded foot soldier than a titan pilot in this campaign…
    Luckily, being on ground can be just as fun as piloting your titan.. wall running and shooting through enemies is a blast, and there are so many cool moments in the campaign that are genuine surprises, and really cool twists the gameplay, there is a decent mix of intrigue, first person shooter, and platforming elements here… Mech fighting is even more fun, and as you progress through the story you unlock new loadouts for your titan all with their own shields, rockets, blasters, and core attacks, so you’re guaranteed to find at least 1 you love that fits your playstyle...
    Titan combat can feel much more frustrating though as you don’t have the luxury of health regenerating like you do while on foot..
    You have to collect batteries around the combat area or from enemy titans... Which can lead to some pretty frustrating boss battles... but none that ever feel unfair…
    Just take much more patience than the first person shooter, platforming sections of the game...
    Now onto the bad..
    Gameplay is definitely king, but its 2016 and while Titanfall 2 is fun enough to be ultimately forgiven… it’s nowhere near ambitious enough to look or run the way it does…
    I’m not one to usually talk about graphics, but the textures in this game are noticeably awful…
    The game really looks bad, its ugly throughout and isn’t helped by the constant dull grey color pallet I thought we got past in 2010, clearly not.. Its back and honestly does take the enjoyment out of the overall experience…
    It hardly lives up to the standard of FPS graphics of 5 years ago let alone today...
    I want to stop in a game, look around and be awed,
    here I stopped, looked around and wondered why this ps4 game looks like a mid-cycle ps3 game… which brings me to the loads…
    I can’t remember the last time I saw a load screen between checkpoints in a modern game….
    Well they’re here…. And again I really don’t understand why…
    The game isn’t pushing the limits on anything to warrant anything but seamless transitions
    I also ran into a game breaking bug in one of the final missions where a team mate fell through the map, and wouldn’t come back even after reloading the checkpoint, causing me to have to restart the chapter from the very beginning to proceed…
    Thankfully this wasn’t too annoying and is the only bug I ran into…
    And while multiplayer returns, this is my first time experiencing it, and honestly I wasn’t all too blown away…
    I had fun, but running around and getting kills to call in my titan around some basic and ugly grey maps wasn’t all too exciting…
    There are really no game modes here to make you think outside of the box and strategize like any great multiplayer would…
    Its either get kills and bank.. Every mech or pilot for themselves... pilot vs pilot, titan vs titan and the typical capture and hold or capture the flag modes but with tanks..
    Though I did personally enjoy titan vs titan the most, as I feel it comes closest to being anything but mindless…
    Everything about multiplayer though for the most part feels average, and the battles between the titans isn’t as epic as you would expect and it isn’t as terrifying as you’d expect seeing 1 as just a pilot…
    All in all Titanfall 2 is still a fun game, but the overall package is just average…
    Lacking a bit of polish and feeling like its already 5 years old...
    The star of the show here is hands down the single player and the greatly realized bond between man and titan.

    Years passed. I've platinumed Horizon and    I've never liked Titanfall. I mean I thought it was just the next hyped title to justify the Playstation Plus subscription service. I've tried the first Titanfall on Playstation 4 Pro and it was ok game. Didn't play much, maybe one hour but left it because I was busy with bigger titles like Horizon Zero Down. I prefer the really big titles instead.
    Years passed. I've platinumed Horizon and other big games, bought Xbox One S for old games and Titanfall 2 was on discount level "steal" so I couldn't pass it by. Bought it and tried it. I approached the game with very low expectations. Didn't expect anything special but quickly turned out this game brought tear on my eyes in no time. I really felt empathy for the heros of that war and couldn't rumble for any issues whatsoever. Stable 60fps. Nice graphics. Nice art. No big draw distance issues. Good controls. Powerful main charachter and the game throwing right in the action after acceptable tutorial. No long cutscenes either. You not watching movie here. You playing you rocking. I repeat I didn't play much. Maybe two hours. No more. And it's one of the best shooters I've ever played. Hope the whole game is like that.

    I gave 7 just because no one really reading the green verdicts. I would give 8.
    ------------------

    And there's the downside. I've played couple more hours. It was good. But at the end the main character getting time travel device that making him able to pass through broken doors and such if he can pass in the past and I find that idea very stupid. No one can turn the time back. No one! Not even God himself. Not even his God too. This is just ****
    -----------
    Played further. To the end. Isn't long. 4 hours more. There is one hour arcadish level where you are too much of a hero while the others mostly just sitting and waiting. Than there's good war of the titans level. The next level have troll boss. The fight with him is 100% trolling on you. I've even degreesed the difficulty level because otherwise it would ruin my day for sure. The game isn't long not because it's 8 hours with all the mistakes and dying but because it's good enough to make you want more. At the beginning I gave it 8/10, but hit 7/10 for more attention. Now I've finally finished the game and I think it deserve exactly 7/10. I don't think 7/10 is negative rating. For middle class game I would give 5/10.

Respawn didn’t fix what was broken, and severely broke things that never needed fixing.

    There are a few things T2 gets right, like dedicated servers. Unlike COD, T2 runs on dedi’s 24/7. Gamers underestimate their importance, which is why Activision hasn’t made them mandatory for its golden child. T2 runs incredibly well and noticeably better than the original. Frame rates remain consistently high and annoying screen tearing has vanished. Hit detection is as good as ever.

    Free DLC!! That's right, new T2 maps will be free. This means the community won't be fragmented by paywalls for future content. That's a big deal.

    And yes, T2 has a campaign. It’s OK. I don’t understand the importance of campaigns in multiplayer-focused games since the majority of players don’t touch them and the rest only play once. Unfortunately, resources had to be taken off the multiplayer to develop the campaign. And it shows.

    That’s where the positives end. Respawn made inexplicable changes which not only hampers T2, but make it less distinguishable from its COD counterpart.

    Foremost are the maps. They’ve been dramatically shrunk down. T2 now features “lanes” similar to Black Ops 2. Vertically is nearly gone, so most players either camp rooftops or run along the ground. Sound familiar? The shrunken maps force titans into clusters. Friendly titans can box each other into a single lane while blocking friendly attacks. Most titan battles end up as claustrophobic messes devoid of strategy.
    In T2, most game modes lack grunts. One of Titanfall’s defining traits is its use of cannon fodder to amp up matches. Although there are plenty of gamers who don’t like grunts, plenty of Titanfall fans loved it. The huge maps were playgrounds of constant action. Verbal cues from grunts indicate if pilot/titans are nearby. Spectres could be hacked to become allies. Cloaked pilots would give away their position when engaging grunts. Instead of offering this, Respawn shrunk the maps and removed the action. Maps have plenty of dead ends and hiding spots. Without grunts, T2 is campy and less action-packed.

    Customization did not improve in T2. Burn cards are gone. Instead, players can equip “boosts”, abilities that must be unlocked. Map hack is especially annoying. Take a guess at what that does… Even worse, players cannot carry a side arm if they equip an anti titan weapon. So if I grab a mag launcher, I must give up my pistol. Lame. Grenades can be used infinitely since they recharge after use, which further encourages campy playstyles.

    Guns are similar to the original with the exception additional attachments. And like the original, nearly every player runs with assault rifles or smg’s. There’s no reason to equip other weapons because they’re laughably ineffective. Insanely quick TTK’s exasperate gun imbalances. Many pilot battles happen in narrow corridors where acrobatics have limited use. Most battles are over before they ever started.

    Titan customization is nonexistent. There are 6 titans that can be slightly tweaked, but their primary abilities and weapons are locked. Classes are completely unbalanced. Legion is an absurdly powerful titan with an auto-aim ability. Respawn loves auto-aim and can’t seem to part with it. Legion versus the Scorch and Northstar titans is a nonstarter. Legion will wreck them both. Of course, Legion has to be unlocked. So newbies will get owned. Titan classes will make T2 harder to patch. Instead of patching abilities individually, Respawn must patch entire classes.

    Titans ought to have specific roles. Poor map design hinders those roles. Ideally, players must constantly switch titans to be most effective. But it’s hard to be effective when titans that are only effective on certain maps get wrecked by titans that do well on most maps. Scorch is a great example of a powerful titan restricted by appalling map design. Eventually players will run the same titans.

    I had high hopes for T2, but Respawn proves it won’t deviate far from its COD roots. I was puzzled why it changed the formula so much. The answer is simple: Respawn wants Titanfall to be popular, even if that means axing originality. In some ways, Titanfall 2 isn’t as good as its predecessor, but it will be more popular. Why? Because other than the titans, T2 feels like COD. Players I’ve spoken with make that comparison. What a shame. Respawn trashed its own formula to offer more of the same. Unfortunately, gamers seem content with that. And we wonder why game development has stagnated. Respawn needs to stop playing it safe. T2 isn't a bad game, but it lacks that "something" which the makes the original special.    … Expand

    Titanfall 2 was one of my most anticipated games of 2016! While I liked the first one, praising it's slick multiplayer gameplay and the innovation of Respawn Entertainment, the team behind the development of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, I was severely disappointed, as were most, by the absence of a single player campaign, massive lack of content, andTitanfall 2 was one of my most anticipated games of 2016! While I liked the first one, praising it's slick multiplayer gameplay and the innovation of Respawn Entertainment, the team behind the development of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, I was severely disappointed, as were most, by the absence of a single player campaign, massive lack of content, and lack of diverse customization. While Titanfall 2 brings a single player campaign into the mix and a more diverse set of game modes and maps to play on, the game doesn't quite bring the level or depth of customization that there previous title Modern Warfare 2 had! The game takes a few steps forward in the right direction, but also stays in a lot of the same places it did with the original Titanfall game.

    The campaign is what I was most hyped for with this installment. I am a huge fan of the campaigns of the first two Modern Warfare games (I really hated the third games campaign), which is filled with awesome, memorable moments such as the Nuke, All Ghillied Up, Shepard's Betrayal and Death, Wolverines, and more! The campaigns had surprises and moments that truly caught the player off guard. They had emotional weight. Unfortunately, Respawn fails to bring that level of emotional depth into the first ever true Titanfall campaign! The story is very run-of-the-mill. You play as a pilot in training, Jack Cooper, who finds himself stuck behind enemy territory with his instructors titan, and must get back to the Militia Forces before it is too late. There are no surprising moments in this game, no moments that stuck out to me, the soundtrack isn't memorable at all. the characters are decent at best, and while the voice acting is good for the most part, I didn't feel attached to any of them! The villains are especially cliche and cartoonish! The first villain you meet, Kane, acts like his either drunk or insane before you get into a one-on-two boss battle with him. I really thought this would be the story that launched Titanfall towards greatness! It doesn't come close! I will say however, that the previous Titanfall's campaign (If you can even call it that) was much worse, and the gameplay is very slick! The graphics are really good, although I've noticed some textures were blurred, and the level design is alright. I personally think the previous Titanfall looked much better! I do like the diversity of guns this time around, but, as I've said already, there is a lack of customization options for all of them. You are limited to 1 or 2 sights a weapon, even in multiplayer, and that's unforunate. The campaign is a 5/10 Mediocre! I know Respawn can do much better because they have done much better with Modern Warfare.

    The multiplayer of Titanfall is slick, the gameplay is really good, the graphics look tight, and the game functions as well as I'd expect. There hasn't been a ton of lag spikes or latency issues as far as I have played, and that's great! Personally, I do not like the new weapon customization system: Instead of have "Extended Mags" or "Stocks" or "Grips," you get weapon perks such as "Fast Reload" or "Shoot while sprinting" and that is very disappointing. I loved Modern Warfare 2's customization system! You could pimp out your rifle with all sorts of sights and attachments, but in this game they abandoned that system! They have added new weapons from each category, and new abilities that work really well with the game, but despite all the included features, I found that I liked the original Titanfall's multiplayer a lot more! Perhaps it's because Multiplayer was the ONLY focus of that title so more resources were put into it. Not to say that this Titanfall's multiplayer isn't smooth! It is smooth like butter in fact! I just feel like Titanfall 1 did the multiplayer bet, for the most part. That said, Titanfall 2's multiplayer isn't bad! You have a more diverse set of titan's this time around. They can run a lot faster, and are a lot more fun to use than the slow as hell titan's from the first game! I like that there aren't any microtransactions! I had predicted EA to implement micro DLCs into this game, but they didn't, which is commendable. That said, I was disappointed with the multiplayer! I found myself going back to the first Titanfall and playing that multiplayer instead, which is saying a lot! I do enjoy the new Titanfall's multiplayer for the most part, but it feels like a step forward and two and a half steps back from the first game. They changed things that didn't need to be changed, we wanted more and they gave us more, but customization is still lacking! 6/10!

    This isn't the Titanfall I was hoping would launch the franchise to new heights. Hopefully the third installment can do that. Respawn needs to make a groundbreaking campaign for the next Titanfall, filled with awesome moments and surprises. We need more customization in multiplayer! Please do this Respawn and you'll have yourselves a damn good game!    … Expand

    I loved the solo campaign, riveting, fluid and engaging it was a breath of fresh air against your standard 1st person solo campaigns but let's be honest, titanfall 1 was all about the multiplayer and most of us are in titanfall for the pvp experience and this is where my review takes a turn for the worse.

    I loved titanfall 1, played an excessive amount of the game and was genuinely good at it, titanfall 2 took a unique pvp model of titanfall 1 which punished camping and gave players freedom to roam and feel like badasses and allowed excellent customisation of the pilots and titans to suit your needs (albeit the smart pistol was op) and with this excellent foundation they managed to completely break it, what they have created is a multiplayer based around movement in which you cannot move because the hit scan and dps system shreds anyone that explores or leaves cover, maybe this is more accurate to what would happen but it isn't what titanfall is about, who wants to play a futuristic sci fi game that relies on group camping to cover large open areas of map followed by group camping with a team of titans once they are up. Allowing titans to heal and limiting their custimisation was a mistake and in the end I found myself having no vested interest in whether we won or lost any of our matches because having fun with the game wasn't the way to win.

    I was super excited about this game then horribly disappointed by the end result, ended up returning the game at the end of the return period.    … Expand

    MP, which is where I expected to be playing hours and hours is poorly presented (your progress feels random and tacked on, rather than having visible targets to strive for) and the map design is very poor.

    As with the single player, the levels don't promote the use of the mechanics anywhere near how the original did and with a lack of briefing to each one, and very poor signposting within them, it's hard to find the reward in co-operative team play, they just lack soul. They're sprawling and indistinct, with discoverable pathways nigh on none existent. Slip-lining? Forget it. Reward for getting your titan? Nope.

    None of the MP maps play to the games strengths (movement, shooting and free running) and map boundaries are indistinct.

    Overall the components are there but it feels overly produced and doesn't have enough substance to take it forwards, free dlc or not. Everything that made the original such an outstanding achievement has been muddied here. I've read the headline press reviews now that I've completed it twice and they're obviously playing a different game to me, I bought my XBOX ONE for Titanfall having played the beta.

    I'm in the EU and the matchmaking is very patchy at the moment and time between games very long too. Thanks but no thanks, I'll get my MP kicks from the odd hour of Destiny and look for something else (but not COD or BF, which this now feels like, thanks marketing).    … Expand

    It was fun in some places, but it had too much of the stuff that I am bad at: Jumping puzzles, verticality, and "whack a mole" boss fights where they magically jump out of the way when you aim at them. I gave it a 4 because they at least tried to give it a story. I quit after dying more than 20 times in the "Viper" boss fight on easy mode.

Shame really as i really enjoyed the beta but it just feels far too competitive and fast for my liking since it's been released. I have put a lot of time into this game so far but I give up with it now. I'll look forward to the stats coming out where my K/D comes out below a 1, then i can prove the fact that this 'skill based' matchmaking is completely messed up. Can i just add the mode i played the most is pilots VS pilots.… Expand

    Worthless tacked on campaign, it's boring, lifeless and incredibly repetitive. Multiplayer is painfully similar to Call of Duty Advanced Warfare, they've even made mechs far weaker and the pilots movement slower and more clunky meaning it feels far more like CoD than the first game did.

    Waste of money and an absolute regret buying this.

Pilots are too weak and you die to easily, so are the titans. They made the NPC's super lethal!!!! They force you to choose titan classes and they have embedded attributes that cannot change. They for some reason got rid of the rodeo and replaced it with a disappointing experience snatching batteries and dropping grenades. Why would they get rid of titan shields? Also now when your doomed you don't have a timer going off giving players the appearance of a second wind when in reality a titan can execute you immediately or anti titan weapons will immediately kill you. You can now shoot from cloaking and immediately return to cloak as long as timer doesn't run out. Which only means they are catering to new players. They got rid of tertiary weapons!!!!! Which means you have to choose between either carrying a secondary weapon or a anti titan weapon!!!!!! What the hell!!!! Choosing between a secondary weapon and anti titan weapon is like asking which leg do I use the least! Sticking to walls is now a ability that needs to be unlocked, absolutely ruining the parkour experience! Ammo and grenades are infinite which remove the tactical criticality of having limited resources!!!!! They brought back the cursed smart pistol what the f@&$$! They made the XO9 titan machine gun less accurate! Some pilot classes look outright stupid. Yes they gave a campaign with cool features no spoilers, but they gutted the heart and soil from the original. I was platinum 3 once upon a time. In conclusion, they focused too much on making players play together. You can no longer carry your team. Or be the decisive character on the battlefield. I like to liken this sequel to a basketball analogy: you ever play a game and there is a guy who gets the ball and just does too much with it and when it's time to score he chokes. Well that is TF2. I wanted to like it, I was predisposed to like it and I just can't it's an alien game. The developers catered too much to the noobs!!!! The graphics are the same or worse than TF. It takes to long to recover from damage. All they needed to do was give us TF experience back more maps, weapons, and a storyline and it would of been out the park!!! Instead they delivered a stillborn. No way does the remaining TF community will be satisfied with this offspring!… Expand

    Titanfall 2 is a fun game. Even though it has a short campaign, I had a great time playing it. Multiplayer is fun thanks to the game’s amazing gameplay, but lack of balancing and awkward level design make it a forgettable experience. I can easily say that Titanfall 2 is a good game, but its lack of depth will ensure I won’t be visiting it again anytime soon.

    As a sequel, Titanfall 2 is everything it was supposed to be. By extension, that means it isn’t a game changer; it isn’t as inventive or surprising as its predecessor, but then again, it couldn’t be. Titanfall changed the trajectory of the FPS in a powerful and immediate way, and that success isn’t to be simply re-created but iterated upon dutifully. Despite Respawn’s best efforts, the game’s obvious advancements and its spectacular engagement across multiplayer, Titanfall 2 doesn’t offer the same determined focus and balance that defined its predecessor.
