    So the core gameplay is generally fun and all the maps are fairly well designed but it does not have too much to offer. The sequel was for sure way better but still was fun at the time. The titan gameplay was a bit clunky.

    Even without a story, Titanfall introduces great lore to keep the player interested in its environment.

    What a massive disappointment this one was.. No campaign and barely anything in the multiplayer bring this one down big time. Whats there is good and fun, but that doesn't last too long.

    Developed by the ex-Infinity Ward developers who crafted some of the best Call of Duty titles, Titanfall had the potential to put it's foot down and establish a new genre that could outdo the major FPS franchises that roam the industry today.

The Titans are a blast to control, and the game is balanced, like a good shooter SHOULD be. But.... The campaign is lackluster, quite bad frankly, and there are barely any game-modes to choose from. Titanfall has good potential, but didn't quite make the leap it needed to put a new, challenging franchise on the map. Expand

    In a word: Meh

    Played a grand total of maybe 5 hours over the span of a week and really just wasn't feeling it.

    Not terrible, but nothing to write home about either.

    You may call this cod with titan robots in it, but it is a totally different game. Its got great new gameplay with you running on walls, pretty cool. The multiplayer has new modes that cod doesn't, plus when you take control of a titan, it feels massively great.

    Buen juego, pero le falta mucha profundidad, primero, por no contar con un modo historia decente. Y segundo por lo limitado de la oferta si no nos suscribimos al pase de temporada. Eso sí... Titanfall 2 lo puede petar.

    Mi opinion personal, los juegos de este tipo deberian traer su campaña, ya que si no eres del tipo multiplayer te aburres en un dos por tres. Tiene buenas mecanicas de combate pero el juego al final queda bien corto.

    Although this game (much like other multiplayer focused games) is lacking in content,the game play is what saves this game and it's easily my favorite FPS of 2014 but that's not saying much but I am very excited for the sequel coming out 2017. Check it out if you have some spare cash.

It was a blast to play with friends, online alone gets pretty boring.

    Your first few steps in Titanfall are going to be amazing.

The sheer amount of activity in the background, the context driven narrative, the theater of it all combines with the smooth player movement to give it a really good first look. But after several games, it wears a bit thin. It's still a lot of fun, still very novel and innovative. But for a game that hitched its wagon to multiplayer and refused to give us single-player, they make a lot of simple mistakes.

    It borrows from the Battlefield format with the hardpoints and vehicular combat, but when each map only has 3 hardpoints in a triangular or linear alignment, your tactical/teamwork approaches are very limited. And it's very easy for a highly skilled player to easily fend off attackers all day. Similar to battlefield, the AI grunts are unbelievably slow and stupid. The map is simply crawling with grunts/specters/militia and they never pose a threat to pilots, I can't remember the last time one of them killed me. And it's really a lost opportunity. I would have much preferred a combat system where AI troops move around the map in force and players are forced to use ambushes, long range strikes, or other clever tactics to take out the AI. Then the PvP moments could be much more visceral traditional multiplayer. But alas, players simply mow down the AI bots by the dozen and in the attrition matchups I can spend the entire match just killing bots and ignoring players with the players only offer 4 points and the bots offer 1, and a bot is more than four times easier to kill than a player. Everything from the bots' oohing and ahhing about you as a pilot, to their pitiful combat skills, to their warnings about a pilot in the area just seem like it's there to boost your ego without adding to the gameplay. The inability to issue commands or interact with the bots at all is also a big let down, and taking the time to hack/convert an enemy bot takes five times as long as it would take to just kill it. It would be great to have bot squads or general orders to order. If you have two hardpoints, maybe the bots shouldn't be rushing in to die at the third hardpoint.

    As fun as it is to double jump and wall-run around the map, I don't know that it makes for good gameplay. Sniping is almost impossible and is never worth the time. You'll waste 3 minutes getting to your sniper nest, waiting for someone to show up, and then you'll probably miss, meanwhile each of the guys on the ground have gotten 10 more bot kills on the scoreboard.

    Attrition mode is boring mode, and as soon as attrition mode comes on the voice chatter goes silent. There's no strategy in a mass deathmatch. Unfortunately that's how a lot of the game modes feel. Last titan standing, marked for death, etc. all lack any viable team strategy. It's really just best to gang up in a group and unleash a lot of firepower on the target. Players can hack turrets for their side, but these provide only a slight advantage and are far too few to really swing any mission. There's ample room to add more interesting interactive elements like capturing a mortar battery, hacking a system that interferes with the enemy bots, disabling enemy comms, etc.

    Having only three titan classes in a game called "Titanfall" is a bit disappointing. Sure they have customizable weapons and secondary abilities, but they just aren't different enough to make a big difference in the game. I would loved to have seen more variety, including artillery titans, smaller exoskeletons that augment the infantry combat, or even flying titans that would change the dimensions of the battlefield.

    Finally, the maps just don't feel that different. The views are amazing and I love the campaign voiceovers. But in the end the maps play second-fiddle to whatever the objective is. And unlike Battlefield 1942 where one might have to assault a beach leading to a village next to an airfield, the maps just look shiny and devoid of real content. Atmospheric conditions are few and far between, with just a camera shake momentarily when a cannon fires somewhere. And the campaign characters are always referencing infiltration teams or boarding crews, but we as the player are always just stuck on the battlefield when such special ops moments would really offer a solid change of pace.

    Titanfall is a fun game, and it looks amazing. I like having an integrated campaign, but it's too short and doesn't have the replayability of Enemy Territory or Battlefield. It also defaults too readily to the heroic good guys and the evil bad guys. The Aussie IMC commander slaughters civilians while the militia commander sacrifices himself for the good of the cause. I would have liked to see them muddy the waters a bit more on that one. All in all, worth the money, but less than it might have been.

With this move, trying to improve sales and continue to have players play the game and probably it did. People thought that this game was going to compete with Call of Duty but all the little kids. They love Call of Duty and wont change their habits. I liked this game for about 4 days, after that game felt boring and felt like another shooter. The Titans where a cool addition to the game and added another challenging aspect to the game. But after having Titans, wall jumps, wall rides, and double jumps in this game. I feel like every game even Call of Duty now are trying to implement these features/things to there games now and now they are becoming Titanfall clones.

It tries to hard to connect with the call of duty audience. I mean it is different in its own way but it still has that run and gun feel. Personally I can bare that but not for 60 dollars. I picked up the game about a month ago. It was brand new and was around 30 dollars. Which i feel is a fair price. Ok enough about how it feels lets jump into the gameplay. It plays flawlessly, runs at 60 fps barely any glitches if none at all and the servers are fast and efficient. So what they set out to do they did great. The titan fighting feels really cool and something different. The guns feel the same I pretty much used one gun through out the 10 hours I played and it wasnt the smart pistol. But like I only put in 10 hours which for a shooter is pretty normal now a days and I love FPS's I just think they get boring. But I digress, the game is solid if you have an xbox one id highly recommend it. Expand

    Unfortunately, it has problems.

    There is no dedicated single player campaign and some tosser decided that when you die, story related dialogue should stop. Thus, you may never even hear the entire story. Likewise, you can't choose to play one faction, so it's possible to do 50 campaign missions like I did and only experience one side of the story.
    The gameplay will hook you for a while, but like many other FPS games your interest will burn out after a few days. There is too little variation and the gameplay isn't good enough to keep you playing

    Overall, this game is slightly above average, but that's all. If a sequel can put a hammer to the right places, this could be a good game. It feels almost as if there could have been more but they were rushed. It's a shame.

    I was a little disapointed with this to be honest, I would be more of a single player gamer but I knew this was solely multi. I did think that I could go through the campaign from the start and was annoyed that it is not the case. On the good side, it is fast paced action and the mechs do make you feel very powerful but at the end of the day this is just COD with mechs.

    Bottom line for me is the following: Titanfall is one of the few games that I feel would make a better "Free-to-play", like TF2 by allowing us to buy stuff to customize our avatars. But for 60 bucks to play, is not worth it.

    This is the definite go to game for any FPS fun, it is so different yet so familiar to the average FPS. Every online match feels different an they are filled with epic moments, in each match there are real players to fight plus titans but there are also other infantry like grunts and spectres to make the map feel like a warzone. The free running mechanic works extremely well and adds a whole new angle to attack and be attacked from, this keeps you on your toes. The titans also change how the game is played, they are stronger and can take more damage but are slow, this gives the pilot a chance to escape or fight back.

    Even though there are a lot of good things about titanfall , there are some problems. The game comes with a terrible online campaign, the story is completely pointless and it seem that this feature was a last minute addition. There are very little maps compared to other games but all of the maps feel and look differently, at launch there were only around four game modes but that has been fixed at the current time with over double that. There are also only around 10 primary weapons to choose from which really limits what you can use, the game adds features called burn card that give you a specific perk for the life that you activate it on but I found most of them to be useless due to the small amount of time you have to use them.
    Over all the game is great, the gameplay is the best of any FPS to date but the main reason for the game getting a low score is all of the small problems that are found plus the fact that this game cost the same as all the other new games but contains considerably less content, I only hope that this isn't the beginning of games costing more but containing less.
    Over all, its a great game that works well but its problems and content means that it should only be picked up at a lower price or borrowed from a friend.

It's a multiplayer package plain and simple, the gore included in this is often overlooked too, shooting someone with an arc cannon (a big titan weapons which fires a concentrated bolt of electricity) just to see their body exploding into a fantastic red mist, yes, delicious.

    Unfortunately it just lacks replayability, whether or not that is down to the absence of enough quick sc0p3z to fill a youtube montage or the single player campaign, it just feels like it cannot keep your eyes glued to the screen for more than a couple of hours.

    The very first thing you'll know about Titanfall it's very simple. Easy to aim, your Titan comes every two min, (No really, you don't have to do nothing to get your titan) the bots just kneel down and shoot and their accurancy sucks. The objectives are very easy too. The hardest thing they had to offer was the training. Let's talk polish. The designers really knew what they were doing. I was expecting the game to have a bunch of bugs and loading problems, but there wasn't many problems in this department. I never got stuck. This did well for an Online game. The graphics weren't really mind blowing, but animations were great. The graphics aren't BF4's level at all though. The gameplay is very fun at first. But man! After playing it for 30 minutes, you'll be so bored of it that you might comeback to it in a week. Even COD Ghost has more reply value than this. The Campaign was just stupid. They should of made it better, and kept it offline instead of forcing people play with other people. People don't even play the campaign. Not much else to say about this point.

    This game is great, but it was very overhyped. Titanfall isn't the next thing in first person shooters. It has nothing on Battlefeild, Halo, or COD. I would recommand to buy it, but don' expect to be blown away.

The game manages to introduce a balance to everything fairly well. It rewards players for doing well with points and cuts off pieces of time from a timer that will send your titan. Although all players can still get a titan.
    Although the gameplay and multiplayer run smoothly, the game is a very polished game that is from a startup company. There is only multiplayer, and nothing else. Not to mention this had a retail release price of $60 for only multiplayer, and a multiplayer with limited game modes. The "Campaign" is essentially a new be multiplayer lobby with "story" overlaid in the background sounds, and the story isn't very clear or interesting either. The game has multiple dlc's that add features, but cost $9.99 (although thankfully less than call of duty)

    This game has a smooth fun, innovative, balanced, multiplayer, but has limited features and is only online and contains a rough story and isn't worth $60. This game has only one trick, and even though it is a good one, It doesn't warrant game of the year material.
    This game shows tremendous promise from the developers as this is there first game.

    Firstly let me address some of the criticisms that have been levelled at Titanfall.

    A lot has been said about the lack of game modes, whilst the options initially where quite limited they where all fun and incredibly well balanced and worked well.
    Since release Extra game modes have been added on a rotation system starting with the quite fun Marked for death, where one player on each team is marked as a target and everyone elses goal is to hunt them down.
    They have also added some variety pack options just like cod which cycle game modes. Also they have enabled and improved private lobby’s.
    All of this has been done with free updates along with a ton of minor tweaks and bug fixes based on community feedback.
    Seeing as lack of game modes and private lobby’s have been some of the biggest criticisms I thought that was worth mentioning.

    Now a lot has been said as well about the lacklustre campaign and I’ll agree a proper campaign would have been nice but for me it’s more about what is there rather then what’s not.
    And make no mistake what is there is some of the most ridiculously fun and inventive multiplayer I have played in a long time. Titans are awesome and the pilots parkour skills really do add whole new dimensions to the tired cod formula.
    I love COD a lot. However even I have become jaded with how repetitive it has become as a whole.
    Let me tell you right now the words tired, repetitive or boring have no place in the Titanfall dictionary. The controls are silky smooth and the frame rate is solid, I have yet to experience any lag, slow down, screen tearing or noticeable frame rate dips as some players have reported.

    The Pilot movement mechanics are simple and easy to pick up while quite literally adding a whole new dimension to the traditional cod formula. Sprinting along walls, double jumping through windows whilst exploring the huge multi tiered maps is some of the most exciting gameplay I have experienced in an online shooter. Ever. Strategically you have a whole new world of map exploration, flanking tactics and general sneakiness to explore. Whilst the movement mechanics are definitely a breath of fresh air in an increasingly stale genre the underlying shooting mechanics are as well balanced and precise as any iteration of cod has managed. Which is to be expected seeing as most of the major players in Titan Fall also worked on Cod 4 Modern warfare.

    All of this before you even call down your giant metal buddy from the sky for some titan based mayhem. Oh the titans!
    I can not understate just how much fun it is climbing in to your titan and causing mayhem across the large and varied map offerings.
    What really impresses is how said titans never feel like they unbalance the core gameplay, it all works so well and is so finely balanced that titan on titan combat or pilot on titan or pilot and titan vs titan combat is never les then exhilarating.

    Want to stomp around the map launching homing missiles and squashing puny pilots under your giant metal feet, go for it. Want your titan to guard a choke point or hard point, you got it. Want the freedom to wall run and double jump around the map with your titan watching your back from the ground, feel free.

    The combination of titan and pilot load outs, whilst not reaching the dizzying variety of options as say Black Ops 2 are all finely tuned and well balanced to cater for a variety of different play styles.

    Stealth, run and gun, cautious and tactical? However you like to play Titan fall can accommodate.

    Nothing quite compares to the first time you beat an enemy titan to near death and then reach out ripping the lifeless pilot from his cockpit to be discarded like a broken toy.

    Verdict

    Titan fall is a good looking if not mind blowing shooter with excellent and refreshing movement mechanics, well thought out and challenging map design and an overall air of polish, precision and importantly well balanced gameplay.
    No matter how you choose to play, Titanfall will entertain, challenge and engage in a way that many long time cod fans (myself included) have been waiting for.

    Titanfall may not reinvent the wheel when it comes to online shooters but it definitely adds Four wheel drive.

    What are you waiting for Pilot! Prepare for Titanfall.

But in saying it is revolutionary, it has sacrificed something that a game of $60 should include, a decent campaign. The campaign is one of the worst, if not the worst campaigns I have ever played. It is repetitive and annoyingly linear, with no matter how well you play or don't play, you will win or lose the match depending on what the campaign decides for you. The world of Titanfall interested me so much, and I was so let down as on one level you see a space battle, but you are forced to leave this awesome place, for no other reason then the fact that EA pushed this game. The graphics aren't a let down in such as the world does look interesting and on some maps spectacular as the textures really work well, even though it is not on 1080p. Finally the customization. The customization is adequate for pilots, but definitely not so for titans. It is adequate for pilots as like any other shooter, you find your favorite few guns and accessories and you use them. But for the customization for titans is a joke, with only 3 titans and only 4 weapons.

I could go on for ever, but I'll sum it up. Titanfall is a have baked half assed COD with a dash of innovation that was rushed out the door to sell xboxes. It could be so much more, but unfortunately is not. While this game is so undeserving of a $60 price tag (let alone a season pass) it's probably the most fun you can have with a video game in 20 minutes, but don't expect it to keep your interest for much longer than that.

    I probably would have enjoyed the game more if it had a story mode; something to do when i want to be offline. Being multiplayer only was an issue for me, maybe not as big a deal for you guys but my issue is none of my friends have the xb1 and all went ps4 so barring a couple of people from work who don't play FPS i didn't have the friend/team element i had for the COD / Battlefield games. I probably would have played more if i had friends messaging me to play like i did on PS3 or x360. That said not sure i can blame just the game elements for not playing as much but EA chose to make this game exclusive and that effected how much i play, that said i would have purchased it for PS4 if it was multiplaform so i understand its a business decision, for that i cannot give it a higher score

    Titanfall has been the only Xbox One game with released with limited addition peripherals (Titanfall Controller, Turtle Beach Headset and Xbox One Console) and with all the hype we were expecting something of epic proportions. Needless to say Titanfall has disappointed us.

    Designed for multiplayer alone, this game is plagued with imperfections that game developers should have anticipated. The game does not shuffle players before beginning a new match, leaving the player stranded on either the losing or winning team from the previous match. The game also does not provide players with an option for voting for the next map, making the "I've Seen It All" Achievement difficult to obtain. The map rotation is also uneven, with players repeatedly playing the same six or seven maps, making the achievement even more difficult to obtain.

    Overall the games lacks luster. During gameplay players find themselves sorting through the hoards of grunt and specter bots hoping to find pilots. The lack of killstreaks or bonuses for eliminating multiple pilots or titans makes the gameplay feel static and unrewarding. The game also lacks leader boards and features no way to compare your stats with other players.

    A few things Titanfall does well is offer a good variety of maps out of the box, 15 in total. The game also features achievements for online play. Most of the achievements are easily obtainable as you play through either the campaign or ranked match modes.

That isn't to say Titanfall is without a learning curve, but new players trying to get a feel for the game won't feel singled out or face excessive frustration picking up the nuances of the game. Titanfall showcases parkour and level verticality as its defining differentiators. Levels are clearly planned specifically for these new mechanics. The fluid parkour system successfully allows pilots to fully explore and exploit their environments in a surprisingly graceful manner. Titans and Pilots have been precisely balanced, so whether playing as a Pilot or a Titan you never have total advantage over the other. As polished, fast and fun as the game is, it became repetitive and stale to me rather quickly. After completing the lackluster campaign and regenerating multiple times, the game failed to hold my interest. I must admit I stopped playing before the release of any DLC, and that well may provide incentive for players to continue. The game was well polished, fast paced, and provided a refreshingly unique take on a largely stale genre. I most certainly had my share of exciting moments in TItanfall, and encourage others to play.

    There is no single player option, yet you will be charged full price for this title. The 'campaign' is played over about a dozen multiplayer maps, and the tepid story is fed in drips and drabs of cutscenes. Terribly, despite charging you for a MP only game, EA has the gall to charge 10$ for 3 maps just a few weeks after the game launched.

    There are only a handful of game modes, and nothing groundbreaking. It can take close to 15 minutes to find a match. Because it's a COD clone, it attracts the same douchebag demographic, who have delighted in learning that for some reason, titans crouch, therefore can teabag.

    Titanfall has been billed as groundbreaking, or innovative. This is false advertising. There is nothing in TF that can't be found in other games.

    Titanfall isn't 2014's GOTY; if anything, it's the biggest disappointment. Titanfall is nothing short of your average CoD-grade (not good, by the way) that is devoid of content and appeal. You'll play it a good day, and then your interest will simply melt away. Titanfall is lacking of everything they needed: an addiction factor, a good amount of content, and an actual campaign.

    Although Titanfall has MANY flaws, to be fair, let's look at the pros. The graphics are extraordinary and gripping, and maybe the best thing the game has to offer. The multiplayer is fun for a short while, but soon becomes the same thing over and over again until it's quite literally a grind where the player feels obliged to play, rather than want to. The titan idea is new and unique, but ideas only get you so far.

    The game's lack of content (excluding maps) is one of the major issues. A heavy lack of weapons, perks, and abilities makes every player similar to another.

    Now yes, I know their reasoning for not having a campaign. However, I think it's a stupid reason. A campaign would add greatly needed playing time to the game.

    Overall, Titanfall is disappointing. It hasn't lived up to its expectations, and I doubt it ever will.

    The game itself is passable, it's got some interesting concepts but does next to nothing new. it's just CoD with a new coat of paint. However, the abundance of 10/10 reviews are completely unwarranted -- And not to mention suspicious. Most of these posters have 1 review. one. For Titanfall... And many of them read suspiciously similar. But I digress.

    The bad:

    The major detraction of this game is its complete lack of content and misleading advertisement of a (nearly non existent) "campaign" which amounts to little more than a voice over during the pre-drop portion of the map. Otherwise it is the exact same as the MP. A measly three titans with no aesthetic customization and bare bones weapon/perk customization leaves a lot to be desired. The vanilla map rotation gets real old real quick as there simply are just not enough maps. A grand total of three Titans makes you wonder what exactly they spent their time doing. Surely it was not refining the concept and story. Over priced DLC and a a season-pass plan that are down right unscrupulous considering how LITTLE this game came with considering its 60 dollar pricetag. But this is a matter of opinion, and for many, not really a negative aspect.

    The titans themselves are okay. Although I'm not sure that the various classes of chassis (heavy, medium, light) actually have enough of a role to change their functionality. They basically all do the same things, have the same weapons, etc. Ultimately the differences come down to maneuverability and the differences in maneuverability between the three are negligible at best.

    The grahpics, I personally feel, are just fine, however many have cited this as something they take issue with. I believe this mostly has to do with the "next gen" tagline. I'm not sure what people expected in terms of graphical fidelity, but this seems fine to me. Some of the textures are grainy up close, but whatever. I can live with that. The truth is, the graphics are about where I expected them to be for a "next gen" console -- As a PC gamer, perhaps it is more forgivable as I realize "nextgen console" is really a "last gen PC".

    The good:

    The maps that are there are well designed for both pilots and titans, textures and graphics are decent (although many were disappointed when they heard that they were supposed to be "next gen" -- Unfortunately "next gen" consoles ultimately are the equivalent of "last gen" for PC's.)

    The gun play handles similarly to any CoD title you've ever played, making it accessible and fun.

    the "parkour" is great fun and adds another element to the typical shooter experience. Although perhaps not as innovative as Max Payne's "bullet time" system, it is, nonetheless, a nice change from your typical modern day / not so distant future shooter.

    Ripping pilots out of their titan with your own to finish them, is, quite simply, totally awesome. Although I do wish there were more animations for different styles of finishing moves. I also quite enjoy ripping the arm off the enemy titan and beating him to "death" with. it.

    -Titans are cool. Titans are fun to use. Titans just feel awesome
    -The parkour style movement is easily this game's strongest point. It's just downright silly fun
    -The gameplay is responsive and solid feeling
    -The game rewards skill with success, if you're good, you will perform well
    -The game punishes badness with failure, New concept: If you're bad, YOU ACTUALLY LOSE. WOAH! I could rant for days about this. I am so SICK AND ******* TIRED of the current FPS environment slowly removing skill from the equation. I won't though...deep breath.
    -Burn cards are a very fun feature
    -The graphics are for the most part, excellent.
    -The autopistol is ACTUALLY balanced. I'm astounded by this, really.
    -Comes FREE with the X1 bundle

    Cons:
    -The game has almost ZERO aim-assist, or "target magnetism" This is a HUGE problem considering the constant double jumps and speed of players. It's brutal.
    -Too many titans, too often. You're either in one, or taking one out. Person to person combat is too rare.
    -The level design is bad. Most levels don't complement the parkour movement system usefully.
    -Not enough guns. Again, NOT ENOUGH GUNS. DOUBLE the amount and it would be alright.
    -Sniper rifles are a terrible choice, people move too quickly to even consider hitting most times.
    -Shotguns don't get enough range OR damage to be of use in most situations.
    -Satchel Charges/C4 are immensely overpowered against titans.
    -Some burn cards are game-breaking. (free ogre titan at 00:05 anyone?)
    -The game gets stale very quickly, there's not enough to accomplish beyond just winning a match.
    -The "prestige" or "generation" system contributes nothing. I'll say that again, you get NOTHING.
    -The story line needed more backstory, or to just be removed. I can't comprehend the need for a storyline in a multiplayer environment. JUST PLAY FOR FUN! Especially considering you don't pick your team in most situations. It's just silly. Depth is for a campaign, multiplayer is about competition.
    -The kicking melee is just silly. It should only happen when you're jetpacking through the air. Otherwise it should be some sort of blade.

    Summary:

    This game had all the potential in the world to be great, but it just didn't deliver. There isn't enough content to keep the player coming back. Once you've reached max level the first time around, you have pretty much experienced Titanfall in its completeness. Titans are far too common and the game in its entirety seems to consist of either killing titans, being in a titan, or being killed by a titan.

    If this game had a no-titans game mode I would raise this review to an 8/10. As ironic as that is, this game would be vastly improved by having LESS TITANS in it.

    The game simply has no depth beyond a match-to-match win or loss. Once a game is over, it ceases to matter. There are no long term goals, and there is no way to show off your prowess in the lobby, or on your 'playercard' beyond your rank...which simply amounts to "time played".

    What would further improve the environment of play:
    -More guns (it gets stale exponentially faster than other games due to the woefully inadequate selection)
    -Make shotguns and snipers a non-irresponsible choice of weapon
    -ADD AIM ASSIST, at least on par with Halo's. If there ever was a game that needed it, this is the game.
    -Add an endless game mode (an endless deathmatch lobby where players come and go as they please, match bonus is received upon leaving.)
    -Add some sort of accolade or trophy system ingame. Give players a "playercard" where they can show off their most impressive accomplishments. This is something that, until recently, Call of Duty has done very well.

    My score: 7/10

    Titanfall is a good game, but doesn't really have much long-lasting potential. It's easy to get tired of playing, and the graphics are definitely last-generation. The concept has a ton of potential, but the actual game doesn't quite live up.

A lot of people say it is like call of duty, and to be honest it is very similar, but I personally have always been a fan of the call of duty franchise and this game is a slight upgrade in gameplay. However the game extremely lacks in contact, While having a large map count, the amount of customization is quiet disappointing. For being a multiplayer only game I would have expected more than about 10 weapons, half of them being awful compared to the others. There is a low perk count and even the weapons themselves have almost no attachments to chose from. Having an extreme lack of content, but having great gameplay, which is very important, I give this a 7. I would sadly probably still play call of duty over this game because it has more content. Is this game worth buying xbox1? Yes, because you should already own one and this game is free if you buy one. Is it worth $60? Personally yes, I have already put over 24 hours into the game and that makes me feel happy about spending $60 Expand

    I'm a little disappointed, overall.

    I've more or less completed the game in seven hours. What I mean is, for a 'multiplayer only' game, there's not a lot about it; I've unlocked all weapons, all mechs, completed both campaigns and in... well, seven hours.

'Extra' content you'll have to pay for, which I didn't; I didn't want to spend anymore than my £40's worth on just maps and a gun or two. That should be there already If I'm spending £40 for seven hours.

    That being said, the game plays great; Pilots, (Standard, on-foot players) balance perfectly against Titans. Never has there been a moment where I've said "Bollocks" after being blown to pieces by a Titan. Never have I said "No" after being blown to pieces by an enemy Pilot's anti-titan rocket launcher. Its all balanced perfectly.

    The free-running system is fantastic and adds a completely new level to the game, where Titans and buildings alike can be clambered upon and used to gain a tactical advantage, or just to lose your enemy. (As a pilot you can double jump! :D)

    Gun combat is satisfying; you find yourself zipping and diving through buildings, laying waste to enemy pilots and AI grunts* (akin to Dota's 'creeps') with speed, purpose and clinical precision. Health is limited, keeping you on your toes, while as a Titan, you're simply a big, metal badass; the game go's from ducking and diving to colossal, stubborn tanking in the change from Pilot to Titan, if you play your cards right.

    I can say that this game makes me feel great when I play, but despite this I feel as if I'm playing for nothing more than a 'prestige' rank after seven hours of entertainment. Long term, it's just lacking and empty. Guns have one or two notable attachments, and Titans have one or armaments that I only ever use. That's about it.

    Not worth the price; it needs to be built upon first. I'm looking forward to Titanfall 2.

    Was a 10 from me when it was launched back in March but I feel that the excitement factor of the game has completely disappeared. It is now a game that I was playing every day to a game that I am playing every few days. If you are thinking of buying this game, don't play it all day play it in chunks or you will easily get bored

    Pros:
    The gameplay is solid. Unique-ish mechanics, titans are a fun addition (though I prefer to play as a pilot), and guns are well balanced.
    Graphics are excellent. Cons: Not really as original as the reviews made it seem. It's still a fairly basic shooter. Plot? What plot? Very few maps. Full game price for half a game. It's fun, but it's not really $60 worth of fun.

    It's fun, but it's not really $60 worth of fun. Particularly if they're going to make you then pay $10-15 for DLC in about a month. If you're deciding whether or not to get the standard Xbox One bundle (w/ Forza) or the Titanfall bundle, then it's definitely worth getting the Titanfall bundle (especially if they're the same price as they were when I bought my Xb-one). Otherwise, save your money and wait for a better game to come out.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Full of advantageous features that relatively quickly become a disadvantage to the Titanfall Title. This is one of the easiest games to pick up and play. You will be wall running through the maps wielding guns reminiscent of the halo series while blasting both the AI and human opponents. The ease of the gameplay in ways feels rewarding but there is no sense of accomplishment. Which many people are sure to say, why would I feel a sense of accomplishment from a video game. And for those people this does not apply. But. The majority of people that can achieve this feeling while playing a video game are sure to be let down. The weapons are well balanced. But even this can quickly add to the population of boringville. There just is not enough weapons nor weapon customizations. The graphics are pretty good for being such an early next gen console game. It is nice to be able to play a next gen fps without all of the technical problems the others are currently having. But at a certain point, it is not enough. The audio is ok but there is nothing special about it. In a way, this game feels like a throwback to counterstrike that somehow got bred with Halo. It is a fun game to play but very quickly you will have nothing to unlock and nothing to master. I suggest playing the demo/beta first. Understand that this demo/beta is the game up to level 14. And that if you are bored of the demo after a couple of hours, you are already bored with the full title. What about those burn cards? Playing matches awards in game enhancements that are called burn cards. These enhancements range from upgraded weapons to wearing suits that make you appear like an AI character (my favorite). Before a match you can equip three burn cards you have previously received. These three cards are the only cards you will be able to use during that round. You can have a maximum of 26 cards in your inventory at which point you will no longer receive cards that are awarded to you. For some reason it doesn't feel like 26 is enough cards but If you were to not receive any cards for the next nine games, you would be able to use 3 cards a game for 8 games and one game with only two. This would make any rational person realize that this IS enough cards. But i can not be led to feel this way. I instead feel that this one part of the game where excess could be easily rationalized is brought to nearly the same level as the weapon selection. Would it be easy to give us more cards to select from? Yes. Would it make most people happier to have more cards to choose from? Yes. Would you still only be able to bring 3 cards to every game? Yes. Would a larger card cap possibly prevent premature balding from pulling your hair out when you complete a hard challenge that rewards rare cards that you won't even get the option to see, let alone give you the option to replace cards from your current inventory. Yes. Would it give anyone a huge advantage? No. So I have a hard time seeing why this 26 card cap is in place. There is another part of this game that would make this review incomplete if not mentioned. That part or concoction of mechanical parts Hammond Robotics has fictionally put together... the Titans. There are three Titans to choose from. You have the light weight, easy to maneuver and lightly armored, the mid weight, not too sluggish, not too fast medium armor, and the heavy weight, sluggish, I hate to run in gym class with heavy armor. There are a limited selection of weapons for the titans also. Some even void of upgrade options. The mechs... oops... absolutely original Titans are well integrated into the game. You will be jumping in/on/over/under them in no time. As well as controlling them to take out your opponents. But to be clear, you do NOT have to control your Titan. You can put it in guard or follow mode and let the AI take control while you fend off attacking enemies. Overall this game is well put together and fun to play but it is not the game changer we were promised. Expand

    The concept is awesome but the result is little less then marginal - Slower then expected compared to COD Ghosts and other first person games - they should have had titan access at a higher level to get familiar with basic abilities - (datoriprogram) "Too little content. No custom games, too few game modes, way too few weapons and titans to choose from."

    I picked up Titanfall a day after it was released and have been playing it for about a month now.

Between the high mobility offered and the mixture of Titan combat, this game is definitely a refreshing break from the usual first person shooters offered. The Titans that are available offer a simple trinity. The Ogre is the big slow one. It can take more damage but is pretty sluggish. The Stryder is the opposite, offering increased mobility at the expense of durability. The Atlas falls somewhere between the two, a jack of all trades. All three are balanced and I didn't find that one held the advantage over the other two. Infantry combat is a different matter. Maybe it was just me but I found that the standard R-101C was a little overpowered. It's almost too versatile. If you learn to control the miniscule amount of recoil it has it's basically a laser beam. I could beat snipers at long range with my higher rate of fire. Beat an SMG up close with my increased damage. After using all of the guns I found the Carbine is really the only one you need. Makes the gunplay pretty dull and predictable. All the maps are good and diverse, they all fall between Call of Duty and Battlefield sized. Good amount of game modes, but I was kind of disappointed when I found out the standard mode, Attrition, is just a matter of who kills the most bots. Then I went and played Pilot Hunter, which is your standard TDM and for some reason didn't have as much fun. Killing bots and players is kind of fun actually, almost reminds me of some kind of FPS MOBA game. The game also offers "burn cards". You earn them based on how well you do in a game. The better you do the more you get. Then you can take three into each match. They're basically a perk that only lasts for a life. So you pick one on the respawn screen, an amped R101C for example, which is just a better version of the gun and you get to keep it until you die.Card goes away, you can pick another on your next life, etc. I'm not too fond of this system and found myself just ignoring this feature entirely. I think it would have been better if I could just pick one that lasts all game despite deaths. The game offers your standard challenges, Get kills with this gun, win 30 games, etc. The game also offers 10 generations, "9 prestiges" basically. Hit level 50, go to Gen 2. Hit 50 again, go to Gen 3. On each Gen you get extra exp, which I appreciate. Gen 2 has 110% exp, Gen 3 has 120% exp, so on. I also like that Respawn integrated challenges with each Generation. So for example, on Gen 3, in order to go to Gen 4, I've got to complete the C.A.R. SMG challenges, complete the Plama Railgun (a Titan weapon) challenges, and complete a Satchel Charge (C4) challenge. Overall the game is refreshing, but there are certainly flaws. After the charm wears off, it doesn't feel like there's a whole lot of depth. I think there's a lot of potential in a game like this and hopefully Respawn will continue to develop the franchise and improve on this formula. Expand

The only few gripes I have with this game is as many know there is no single player/co-op, when you are in the lobby if the majority of players there are several missions behind yourself, the game will replay a story mission you have already completed, which for me got extremely tedious because I had to replay "there be dragons" chapter 3 times over. And with only a few hours under my belt it has already become quite stagnant and repetitive. Being that there is no single player campaign, there is also no persuasion, storyline, lore, characters, or compelling element to make you play for longer. Not a bad game but not a great one either.

    Read the fine print before you purchase this game. Titanfall is multiplayer only, there is no single-player campaign. Which means that in a few years, when EA decides to take down the servers, this will look like a $60 rental. COD + Brink, 3-4 hours of way overvalued fun. Rent or wait for the sequel.

    This is a fun, solid game, but I feel it's been overrated by the pro critics. I could see if you almost exclusively play competitive FPS, then yes, this game is amazing, game-changing, blah blah blah. There are solid mechanics, a wonderful sense of verticality and speed and much more varied gameplay with the inclusion of your loadout options and the titans. However, nothing here is newThis is a fun, solid game, but I feel it's been overrated by the pro critics. I could see if you almost exclusively play competitive FPS, then yes, this game is amazing, game-changing, blah blah blah. There are solid mechanics, a wonderful sense of verticality and speed and much more varied gameplay with the inclusion of your loadout options and the titans. However, nothing here is new if you've played other genres. It does gel a lot of these ideas into a cohesive, solid balance and for that, developers should receive a lot of credit. There's a lot, however, that stops this game from achieving greatness or "bringing us into the next generation" (an overused, undeserved phrase in this case). Let me take this moment to apologize for the overwhelming criticisms I include in this review. There really is a lot of fun to be had here, but that fun is fleeting in the face of the issues. Moving on... First, the graphics. Great, not next-gen. While this is the case for the majority of games on Xbox One and PS4 (but especially Xbox one), Titanfall does nothing to distinguish itself from the pack. Second, a baffling lack of options. I mean, this is 2014. What is omitted here is shocking when you consider the $60 price tag. No character customizations (changing your main weapon changes the look of your character), no ability to choose the map, very few gameplay modes with no customizations options; these are things that FPS vets have had available for years. Third, the complete lack of importance. You can fail a campaign mission and you just go to the next one anyway. By not being able to build a character in any way, there is no real sense of permanence or growth. There is not much that makes me really feel that I'm a player in this world and I can already see there's not much to keep me here a few months from now. It's just something to have fun in for a while. As a whole, the game has the distinct feeling of either being an unfinished product (put out to combat the lack of AAA games in the launch window) or that it was forced on the Xbox One to appeal to mass console gamers rather than beginning its life in the PC market. Recent interviews lead me to believe the latter; this was a game meant for a more specific audience and, ideally, a lower price point. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot to love here. But this should not have gone out at $60. There are a couple complaints that are repeated throughout the internet. The lack of a campaign (either single or coop) and the lack of an offline single player. In general, neither of these complaints should be warranted. There are plenty of examples of non-campaign multiplayer (Gotham City Imposters) or online only games (any MMO). In truth, you can play this game endlessly single-player, Very few players actually chat and there's so much going on, it's easy to just solo it on the hectic battlefields. However, in the context of a hyped-up, $60 release for a major console, these issues should weigh heavily in any review or decision to purchase. The campaign is not effective. There are some feelings around that Respawn should be lauded for trying something new in this area, I say, no, because it just doesn't work. I don't know a single person who knows what's going on with the story unless they read it on the internet. That is a clear indication that, whatever their intentions were, they didn't succeed. It feels, again, shoehorned in to appeal to mass console gamers. On that note, there are plenty of examples where the storyline is presented in the midst of playing (Skyrim for one).
    The bottom line: great game, you'll likely have fun playing it. But don't buy at full retail. Get the bundle, wait for the price drop, or wait until enough content has been added to justify the price (which may not actually happen). As it stand, I have to score this with the price and content presented.
    On a related note: the ping for Hawaii is horrible. Yes, I know we should be used to it by now given that no company has fixed this issue. But I say nay! There are solutions to this problem (both in terms of programming and hardware) so that we can play on level playing field, but as it is, if you're in Hawaii and you want the most fair game, you're restricted. Play Hardpoint with and against other Hawaii players to have an enjoyable time. Otherwise, expect that you'll need to unload magazines into enemies to kill them and be prepared to die all the time. And yes, I know other areas of the world have the same issue. Which is all the more reason why the developers and EA should be more active in balancing out the situation.

    A ok game from Respawn. Graphics are decent, the game is kinda fun, not ground breaking or adictive, but very nice and good.
    It lacks soul, that is for sure, but it does try to do everything right, it just sounds and looks plastic and not much sincere, but it is not bad by any means.
    If you like FPS multiplayer, you will probably enjoy it.

    Gameplay wise, it is flawless. Fast paced, balanced action, cool concept and extraordinary titans. Content wise, this is an unfinished game. No private lobbies, no customisation, barebones campaign that could have been so much more let this game down from being flawless.

    Now if this game was only $40, it would definitely be worth it, but to me, a multiplayer only game, with a limited number of maps and features (no matter how well designed) is not worth the price one would pay for something like Infamous or even Halo.

I am impressed with the ideas that Respawn tried to use with the story mechanics, working it into the multiplayer, but it failed to live up to what I was expecting, and maybe that's unfair, but I expected a better implemented idea, and maybe a sequel can do it better. Don't get me wrong, this game is great if you already have a PC, but I'm not going to pay $560 for an XBONE and Titanfall when I can pay 460 for a PS4 and Infamous. The XBONE has yet to have their system seller that they need, and personally, Infamous is a funner game, but that's just me. I say wait until the price to drop to about $40 or even $50, but it's not worth $60 for a game with only 15 maps, and only multiplayer, unless that's your thing. Then by all means go for it. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game, keeps you on your toes. Decent combat system. Just wish there was a long campaign for both offline and online play. Replay value sorta high if you are a 100% completion type of person. I would recommend this game as a solid rental and decide from there if you wish to buy it. Expand

    first off i'd like to say im without any of this console political Bias, i played it on PC and i couldn't care less about those fanboy wars that seem to influence opinion; either being one extreme or the other.

    ill start with gameplay, because that's the games core and it sure does excel at it. its unlike anything other in the FPS genre. it isn't striving for BF and is by no means a CoD
    first off i'd like to say im without any of this console political Bias, i played it on PC and i couldn't care less about those fanboy wars that seem to influence opinion; either being one extreme or the other.

    ill start with gameplay, because that's the games core and it sure does excel at it. its unlike anything other in the FPS genre. it isn't striving for BF and is by no means a CoD clone. its a new category all together. The 2 pillars of innovation that make this game fun is mobility and of course the Titans. you can park-our, wall run double jet jump climb on titans move and with speed. this completely changes the "arena style" gameplay. its an unbelievably fast paced twitch shooter, you'll get the feel of breathlessness when you die, but never reluctant to jump (or fall) straight back in. Titans are integrated perfectly there not OP by any means and the means of unlocking them ensures you'll always get at least one a game. they feel well and are as vulnerable to the pilots as they are deadly. you get the feel of a towering beast while all the time staying on your toes. the core gamplay is utterly fantastic.

    however that's where TF's pro's end pretty much (which obviously isn't bad though). visuals even on my hefty PC feel lacking. and graphically it feels like COD; something i despise. while not massively important it is a bit of a bummer.

    the lack of depth is also disappointing there are about 10 pilot guns and a few less titan guns. where were all the interesting future weapons ? all the automatic guns have very few differences. there isnt a whole ton of ability's and perks either. persistence is almost none existent. apart from the maps (which were all good) if you played the Beta you experienced nearly everything there is. combined with the fact that you'll do everything there is gameplay wise within about 2 matches; getting bored of this is something i'm very concerned about.

    Story: or whatever they called that. i realize that this game was built around its new multiplayer but a proper campaign for this had as much potential as Halo. the political struggle, the universe as a hole and some interesting charterers that went flushed out enough for me to give a **** when one of them died. if they adopted the Halo mission style with of course the Titans and the mobility it could have been so good.

    overall TF feels like a game which has an ultra strong skeleton (its gameplay) but with with little flesh. which is a stark comparison to the vast bunch of games which layer graphics and other stuff on top of piss poor mechanics and end up as foam rather than the rock that titanfall is. i hope TF2 can include all of my wants though. many people and reviewers simply gloss over the many negatives in this game because of its great core gameplay. the game simply lacks depth. but it is still the most refreshing, innovative, fast paced game ive played in a while, and is a ton of fun.

    it just isn't the second coming as many have said while clambering aboard the bandwagon.

    Game gets old, fast. The graphics are on par with a mid-generation 360 game and the online is not competitive. TitanFall is definitely a casual shooter and will only provide you with a few hours of online before you feel like you've had enough. There is not enough content within this game to support the price or all these 10/10 reviews.

    No single players, campaign hurt your ears while your trying to play, characters are a joke and so is dialogue.
    The game is fun, but full of glitches bailey designed and pretty much casual game. Casual games are the best left to mobile gaming. Well its not terrible, its just like playing demo of a full game, respawn drop the ball on this one, trughly

    This game was extremely over-hyped. The only things I can give credit for is the droppable titans, graphics, and sound. The fun and excitement dies extremely quickly. This game does NOT deserve the praise it gets. It is a barebone FPS.

    -Does not seem to have a matchmaking function putting close level players together

    If this is the next gen flagship game then I am worried about the state of games.

    I played Titanfall extensively over this past week and I'm loving it. I haven't had this much fun in a multiplayer FPS since Call of Duty 4. I really love the mechanics and the parkour of the game as well as the balance between Titan fights and pilot fights. Even though I'm having lots of fun playing this game, it does have some drawbacks that keep it from achieving greatness. First offI played Titanfall extensively over this past week and I'm loving it.

Even though I'm having lots of fun playing this game, it does have some drawbacks that keep it from achieving greatness. First off lets talk about the graphics. This is the supposed first next gen title on the Xbox One, but it's running at 729 fps on a ten year old source engine. Although this game will most likely run a lot better on the Xbox One than it's 360 counterpart, I can't help but feel like I'm playing a game from last gen. Graphics aside, the unlocks in the game feel scarce and unrewarding. There aren't many guns, or abilities to choose from which makes me worry that the game will grow tiresome fast, and run out of fresh things to keep me interested. Another thing that keeps this title from really achieving greatness is the fact that everybody hyped this thing up to be the greatest shooter of all time and define the next generation multiplayer shooter. Titanfall doesn't quite do that but it is a step in the right direction. I'm excited to see what Titanfall 2 has in store for us and hopefully it is a greater leap forward. Expand

    Start of this game is very fun from the moment your taken through the start of the so called story line - some of the early moments within this game are mind blowing the first time you call a titan in to when you wall climb around that map like a monkey on crack.
    With all good things though there is a major issue, that being the amount of depth in multiplier, only 3 titans and 3 core

    With all good things though there is a major issue, that being the amount of depth in multiplier, only 3 titans and 3 core characters leaves a lot to desire, not even 1st prestige and it's getting a little boring.
    It seems like this game was rushed out to meet the demands of the failing Xbone, which is a real shame as this being a direct competitor for COD and Battlefield the depth is poor. Looking forward to see what the bring with the DLC packages.

    So, Titanfall. I bet you're expecting a 10, or a 9, but not in this review. Now I'm not saying Titanfall's a bad game, in fact it's a good one, but there's just not enough content to justify it's price. So one thing that you probably already know ( if you played the beta ) is that this game is addictive. Even if you completely hate the game, you would still lose hours into it. This isSo, Titanfall.

So one thing that you probably already know ( if you played the beta ) is that this game is addictive. Even if you completely hate the game, you would still lose hours into it. This is mainly because it takes the twitch shooter element from Call of Duty, mixes it with the dynamic and tactical gameplay of Battlefield, infuses it with Halo's futuristic setting, puts in Mirrors Edge parkour and puts in mechs to create a totally unique and awesome gameplay experience. And instead of just taking these cool thing that we love and giving them a Titanfall paint job, Respawn have refined them and expanded upon them. However I would have liked to of had Battlefield's destruction, as shooting down starships to destroy waves of enemy's would have been amazing. The graphics are ok, and there are a decent amount of maps and mode's, but there hardly any customisation at all! No attachments for guns! WTF? No pilot customisation! WTF? And this one kills it for me... NO TITAN CUSTOMISATION! That would have awesome! To have a connection to your Titan! To have memory's of all your badass moments! To have a Titan squad with your friends! And the so called story is pointless! You don't care about any one in your squad or story ever! So if you have played the beta don't buy, if you haven't rent, or wait for a price drop. Expand

    Aside from a few minor quibbles (I can jump across streets and hop over entire buildings, but a knee-high window ledge is insanely finicky to get past?) Titanfall is undoubtedly a great game which does an exceptional job of breathing new life into an increasingly-stale genre.
