    didn't play the first game but i find this game to be good. also putting out free dlc has players coming back. my only problem with the game is is that the marketing wasn't very good which caused it to be underrated.

    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

    The first TF has influenced a lot the genre - now you see jump packs, fast paced movement and mixed PvP/PvE in other games as well, all thanks to TF. But with its extremely low health and no campaign to train you it was frustratingly hard for FPS rookies AND it just didn't provide enough content for its price.

    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

As for the overall gameplay, it's even more fun and polished than the first one. Wallrunning still feels great and they gave us many more abilities and weapons to use. However, I was curious to see how the wallrunning and titan gameplay would work in a campaign mode. I was completely surprised, as it is one of the best campaign modes I've played in a while, and it is the best part of this game. The missions, while mostly linear, never feel boring or repetitive. There is much more than just running and shooting. You strategically use your cloak and wallrunning abilities to evade enemies and get the drop on them, which is really important when you're playing on hard or master. And to break up the gunplay sections, they include some extremely well designed and innovative quick timing and jumping puzzles as well as time travel mechanics. The two missions that stand out to me are Effect and Cause, where you have the ability to work your way through a facility by jumping back and forth between timelines, which is important because there might be a door shut or a fire blocking your way in one timeline, forcing you to quickly jump to the other. Switching timelines is seamless and can be done with the click of a single button. I don't want to spoil too much of the level. The other mission has you navigating through a facility making prefabricated homes. Precise timing and wallrunning is essential here, and there is often more than one way to reach the next objective. Things are not always clear to you and you have to work it out for yourself. The game ends with an awesome chase sequence where you are jumping from ship to ship with your titan. It's all in first person, so these moments can give you make you tense up a little. As for the story, it's nothing amazing, but it is certainly entertaining. The relationship between you and your titan is well done. He never feels too much like a human, or too much like an uncaring robot. You can choose your dialogue, and he'll take your comment extremely literally like a robot should, and then later, he'll crack a sarcastic joke and it just throws you off a little and helps you feel more attached to him. Overall, there is never a dull moment in the campaign. However, it is quite short. I beat it in about five hours, and it is a little too easy on normal. I actually played it again on master and it took me about 7-8 hours that time. I recommend playing it on at least hard. Multiplayer, while extremely fun, is not quite perfect. They do include a ton of new weapons, modifications, abilities, whole new titans, and skins for your pilot, guns, and titan. That is much appreciated. The maps are designed well just like the last game. Pilots can stay competitive against titans if they know how to traverse the map. However, they did make changes that I wasn't happy with. Titans in this game feel incredibly weak. They die extremely quickly compared to the last game. If you're playing attrition and you're on a **** team, the match can be a nightmare. The entire enemy team will be in a titan because your teammates don't want to help you do damage to them. When you eventually call in your titan, you can get surrounded and killed within a matter of seconds, even when you're using a titan that has max health like scorch or legion. It can be extremely annoying. I don't like how they made titans weaker. A good titan player in the first game had the ability to take on multiple titans at a time if he used his abilities well. Now, it seems much harder to do that, unless the enemy has no idea what they're doing. They took away burn cards, which I wasn't too upset about, but they replaced it with a special ability with a long cooldown. It's not a bad thing, it's just not as unique as burn cards were. As with titans, you can no longer customize a titan loadout, but you select from a wide range of premade titans with unique abilities. These titans are all fun and different in their own way, so I didn't miss the option to customize too much, especially since I'm sure they were trying to balance them. 1v1 titan matchups are as fun as ever, and if you're outnumbered you can use a new "core" ability that can nearly wipe out an enemy titan. Overall with multiplayer, if you like fun fast gameplay but also playing smart and strategic, you will love the multiplayer here. I hope this game eventually gets more sales, because it deserves it.… 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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [Synopsis]

    Titanfall 2 is without a doubt the greatest first-person shooter title I’ve yet to play on the current generation of consoles. And that’s truly saying something, because there have been some spectacular gems along the way these past few years. My reasons for this lofty accolade are many and yet they all tie in to some of the same facts and opinions as well. For example, one thing that Titanfall 2 does that few other games save for perhaps the Battlefield series have yet to match or come close to, is offer a stunning degree of customization in the multiplayer client. I’m constantly surprised- not just by the amount of camouflage or titan chassis and colors or items offered, but by the entirety of the package provided with the base game devoid of microtransactions in terms of what is already available to players through simple unlocks.

    Granted, if you want to pay a dollar or five here and there, you can unlock neat special chassis and camo patterns and packs, but even at the base level without these minimal transactions there is so much available to players. Another thing that is surprisingly done quite well is the leveling and unlocks system. In the first game there didn’t seem to be too much available upon leveling up one of fifty times or making it through another generation and essentially hitting the “prestige” level and restarting. In Titanfall 2 this has been remedied by the addition of golden tickets of sorts that are called merits. Instead of hitting a specific experience cap, you gain x amount of merits per level, per weapon, per perk/feat, per titan, etc etc. All of these combine in your after action review of a match and go towards your overall level and unlocks- of which there are many, many, many things to unlock and discover (whether that be weapons, attachments, camouflages, perks/feats, etc).

    Moving away from the multiplayer content for a moment, let’s discuss the equally interesting and exciting single player mode. Yes- this Titanfall title actually offers one and doesn’t skimp by adding in radio bursts of exposition and story to campaign labeled multiplayer matches. I really enjoyed fleshing out some of the characters from the first Titanfall in a standalone story of Titanfall 2’s own creation. The single player does a good job of gradually introducing mechanics and attributes of the multiplayer content through loadouts for titans and weapon pickups for pilots- essentially operating as an interactive and fully immersive tutorial. The story is in some ways cliche for the shooter environment and yet in many others it is truly interesting for all the ways it explores the relationship between man and machine. I won’t ruin any of the spectacular moments the short campaign offers, but I will say it boasts impressive mechanics, some original ideas here and there, and plenty of tight shooting, platforming, and even interesting Singularity/Portal-esque mechanics.

    I came into Titanfall 2 wondering how they were going to improve upon the interesting foundation laid by the original title and I came out of my first few hours with the game totally blown away. It’s no mere matter of adding a single player campaign or perhaps adding a few additional titan classes to the mix. Titanfall 2 has completely changed a lot of things around without losing the allure of the original experience or sacrificing anything that couldn’t be built newer or better. The community is thriving so far and the developers are constantly providing reasons for us to play the game- from daily rewards and bonuses to dropping free map packs and additional content every few months like they did with the original game as well. In an industry dominated by microtransactions and paid content, Respawn and Titanfall 2 have made an excellent environment and case for providing what the players want free of major additional charges. Yes, even they aren’t perfect, but it’s much better than $20 a pop for Call of Duty maps and constant barrages of new weapons to pay to win with.

    I don’t even think my glowing words can necessarily do the game itself the justice it deserves, but I’ll let the near 90% in average reviews and ratings do the talking for me. If I had to gauge the game appropriately on my own scale, I’d probably give it a 9.5/10 and that’s quite rare for me considering most titles I review typically fall within the 7.5-8.5 range on the spectrum. I’ve honestly enjoyed every single element of the game, even with the few flaws it has, and even considering the fact that most multiplayer game modes operate virtually the same with slight modifications. That’s truly a testament to how exciting and exhilarating the overall experience is.    … Expand

    After listening to their fans about the problems of the first one, they decided to add a campaign in this sequel. Maybe the campaign isn´t very long but it is very entertaining and fun, specially if you play it in the hardest difficulty. It starts a little bit slow but it's full of action and some sequences of platforming that are very epic in the design level. Also there are some boss fights but they aren't that hard, with the exception of the final boss. Maybe it isnt the best campaign but at least you should give it a chance because in my opinion it is one of the best campaigns of the fps that focus on multiplayer.

    I haven´t played that much time in the multiplayer but for the 10 hours that I've played it, it has been a nice improvement in the gameplay mecanics in comparisson to the first game. Also the titan types that they have introduced are very helpful to add a lot of variety.

    If you're looking for a FPS that combines fast paced action in maps bigger than cod but smaller than battlefield and the adition of mechs, don't think it twice and buy this underrated gem for the FPS genre.    … Expand

    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

    Campaign
    I went into the campaign purely to get a feel for the game/controls before I played some MP, so I'm not the noob using electric smoke instead of dropping a shield. What I got instead was a beautiful campaign with the perfect flow, story, and mechanics that had me coming back for more playthroughs, simply because it was that much fun. (Seriously the phase shifting was awesome!) Not only do you get to try each type of Titan load out, but you also get a few more that appeared in the original game. The levels can go from storming walls with enemy Titians dropping every minute, to narrow quarters that put your 1v1 Titan skills to the test (initially). The cenimatics were long enough to tell the story and short enough to help you avoid mashing A to skip.

    Multiplayer
    With all kinds of game modes that force you to change your tactics, the games rarely seem repetitious. I've played games where we got murder and had a blast, I've played games where we locked down hardpoints and won by a mere 5 points. As a pilot you get a variety of choices when it comes to abilities. All are beneficial can effect your playing style. The guns are all great. It's pretty rare that you get killed by a weapon and think. "I need to try that one next time" but TF2 definitely delivered that to me. The Titans all have a well balanced mechanics, from fast to slow, to ranged and close, to sniper. It keeps the game play honest and fresh as you experiment with the best Titan/Pilot load out to best fit your needs.

    I give this game a solid 10 out of 10 and can't wait for DLC. TF2 is a modern day classic.    … Expand

    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.

    Titanfall 2 is a amazing fps due to the fact it it has a much better feel than its first game. Everything is more balanced from titan to pilot. No titan can outclass each other because ,if played well enough, weak titans can take on strong titans and vice versa.

    Great game that does what good sequels do: improve what the first entry did good, get rid of the bad, and add new things to draw in new people.

    The jet-assisted parkour feels like what Mirror's Edge should have been and crossed with the maneuverability of the heroes on Attack On Titan.

    My only complaints were that the ending cinematic was a bit short when you consider all the crap you just went through, and one particular flying boss was stupidly hard to fight due to the slowness of combat.    … Expand

    Absolutely amazing. Titanfall 1 was the game that got me TRULY into first person shooters, and due to it being such a fresh introduction to a new series of games, it was well praised, but sadly short lived. However, even with the lack of content, I still played it, day after day until I basically became ready to join the ESL at 13 with that game.

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

    Multiplayer is also plenty of fun, the only problem I had with it was that shotguns aren't as effective as in TF1 due to more open and less 'cluttered' maps (though I haven't tried the Mastiff shotgun yet). Titan gameplay without shields does make it harder to keep them alive, however it means every shot that hits won't be wasted when your opponent goes behind a building. This changes up your strategy as a titan, and it also makes the Pilot's anti-titan weapons much more viable. Also the 6 Titan classes are like six siege's Operators, each offering diverse gameplay experiences.

    Titanfall 2 does many things right: a fun game, free map dlc, no microtransactions that affect gameplay, a highly polished product with barely any bugs. Unfortunately not a lot of people are buying it.    … Expand

    Way too much rubbish filler in the story mode. For God's sake, I didn't buy this game to just wall run endlessly and jump on platforms without floors to my death. On some levels you can't even see where you're supposed to wall run to even after dying many times so the runner is useless.

    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.
