    Wow this gets boring really really fast. I quite like the multiplayer games, but this one really just feels like a crappy version of COD. It's not much better than the Mech games of the early 90's.

    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.    … Expand

    Titanfall's biggest problem is a lack of content. The gameplay is excellent, its meat and bones and although several new maps have been added via season pass it is still somewhat light. More customization has also been added along with new modes and it seems Respawn are very much listening to their player base. Its a good start for a new studio.

    Disappointing game. Lacks true single player campaign. The visuals are good and the game actions are fluid enough. The one true downfall (pun intended) is repetition. And the creators try to mask this with the illusion of a pre-mission story. If you like that kind of stuff, then this might be worth it for you. Not for me.

    Seriously, how on earth does this game have an average user score of 6.2!?!? Madness.

    Anyway, this game is just so much fun. Sure, as the reviews state, it's more evolutionary than revolutionary, but, honestly, how many (good) games really are revolutionary? Exactly. This game was never going to get 10/10 review scores, because it hasn't got a single player campaign and the 'story' elements are hilariously tacked on. That said, the presentation and polish on this game are absolutely second-to-none and the brief story elements prior to campaign matches kind of make you wish that the story wasn't so half baked.

    That aside, what an incredible new IP this is from the guys at Respawn Games; the first of this generation. The core gameplay is seriously good fun and the challenges and regenation requirements are genius; the latter encouraging you to try out various different weapons and gameplay styles which really teach you everything their is about the game and, by the end, makes you into a much better all-round player.

    Overall, this is one of the best multiplayer games of all time, for me. It's funny that I timed my purchase of an Xbox One for Destiny, but it's Titanfall which has got me gripped.

    Can't wait for the next in the series. I really hope they implement a Battlefield: Bad Company-style Conquest mode, to create a multi-teired version of attrition whereby you move onto new areas of maps and have a specific goal to work towards. That would be perfection.

    My head tells me I should give this a very strong 9/10 but my heart insists on giving it a 10.    … Expand

    Call Of Duty in space that uses every cookie cutter video game design short cut in the book. It doesn't have an original idea in it's tiny blonde head. No single player campaign, poor network code. Some very nice art and design that give it street cred, otherwise nothing to see here ...unless you actually do want Call Of Duty in space.

    I'll admit I was one of the haters on this game. But when I actually picked it up, I felt as though I've been missing out for the last 6 months. This is probably the best FPS ever. At least since COD 4. I only wish for a single player campaign though. But the way it's done is interesting at best, and credit is due for at least trying something new.

    It has it's flaws no doubt, limited amount of weapons/customization options, annoying random server disconnects and no single player campaign. 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.    … Expand

So first off Titanfall is absolutely gorgeous from the huge yet incredibly detailed set of maps to the character models and the weapons, +1. Titanfall brought parkour and mech combat to the first person shooter genre, something that I think will stay for the long run in this genre, +1. Titanfall's game play is extremely dynamic, taking linear based first person shooters and making them 3D. No longer do you have to worry about some noob sitting in a corner with a shotgun or some **** laying prone in grass with a light machine gun. Titanfall takes the overused concept of first person shooters and makes it new and exciting again by adding dynamic combat systems, I could play this game for hours on end, +1. And now we get to the campaign something which Titanfall is heavily lacking in, despite their best efforts to attempt to include a "campaign" in the form of a game mode in this entirely multiplayer shooter, Titanfall falls short on the story aspect. The reason I am criticizing a solely multiplayer game on its lack of single player is the fact that the multiplayer is already filled with a backstory, if the developers just took a few minutes to come up with a story I think we would have a flawless game here, -1. Obviously as stated the multiplayer is amazing and there isnt much more to be said, +1. Flat out entertainment value is what really matters and this game delivers... almost, the lack of story is what kills it for me, 0.… Expand

While Titan-fall does bring all these interesting and 'game changing' technology to the modern FPS user-base, it does have some lackluster drawbacks. One of my main concerns is the 'campaign' which more so is just another playlist of multi-player. While this would be beneficial to people to prefer to play a campaign with real players, it was somewhat lacking in player-base numbers making it difficult to find a suitable match. Another minor concern was the actual A.I as them seemed very underwhelming in skill and didn't seem capable of actually inflicting much damage to human pilots.

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.    … Expand

    This game is vastly overrated. 86 is simply way too much with a game with no campaign. Other than that, this game is pretty good. If you were going to buy an Xbox One for this & this only, save your money. This game is on PC & 360 as well and the gameplay is basically the same on both. It is a really fun game, however once you get to 8th or 9th prestige, it gets old.

    In the beginning of the game as you play the training it was actually pretty good it told you about 70% of the controls. After that you get into the story line and from there you get completely lost everything just went crazy it goes straight into the fight with no story line. You don't know where you are. You don't know what you are doing there, you don't know who you are fighting and why, you don't know any of the characters, you don't know who you are. (Besides being a "pilot") the characters in the story mode are just Ridiculous. There is no background on any of the characters. While you play the campaign you also play with other online players. That was a huge mistake the creators made. Because they didn't think that when people get the game and play the campaign 2 month after the release date. All the people that have had the game since it came out are all ready level caped are playing agains people that are level 1. The whole time I played the campaign we lost every round because the enemy team was more experienced, better equipped, and at least new what the controls were! This game should be scrapped and retried. If they corrected all of there flaws this could be a good game. And yes there is a lot more stuff wrong with this game I'm definitely not going to sit here writing an essay about this all night. Read some different reviews. And read user reviews not the company ones. Most of them get paid to say good reviews or they just don't want to seem like there being a dick to a different company.

On the other hand, Titanfall lacks enough customization you can choose a small handful of weapons which do vary rather well but you can’t do anything to visually change how your titan looks (the day I am aloud a pink titan is the day I will be happy) or your Pilot (human). But, overall Titanfall is a great game load of fun, very fluid combat and free running but needs a more in-depth customization.

The game is empty most games like cod and others are fine because you get a meaty mp game and a sp story but here you get no sp and the mp is far from meaty it is downright empty , for the sequel try looking at plants vs. zombies garden warfare to see how to make a mp only game , first don't charge full price $39.99 is perfect for mp only games and second have a decent amount of content like p vs. z they have tons of weapons , upgrades , costumes and more and they even give us a great free dlc that was huge with more content not making us pay nearly $20 for 3 maps because Xbox is greedy and charges tax unlike Sony .… Expand

    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.    … Expand

    The game itself is a masterpiece of years of experience and talent in the industry. The people behind this are the masterminds behind the best twitch shooter ever made, Modern Warfare 2.

Titanfall while falling under the generic twitch shooter genre has a unique feel and a distinguishable art style that brings awe to the game. But why am I only rating this game a 6/10? The simple fact is there is not enough variety in the games sandbox to keep the game interesting for more than a couple months. Sure I may come back from time to time but that's because I've had enough of the other far more entertaining and enriching experiences I could be having. Another lacking feature this game has is the absence of split-screen to play with friends, and a story mode which could have at least been a piece of cr*p and tacked on just to justify me paying $60.… 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.

    An intensely fun multiplayer game that is accessible and fun for everyone. Not perfect, but that's what sequels are for.

    A spectacular and superbly crafted, if traditional, shooter. [May 2014, p.71]
