Hard to say, OP. Really depends on which multiplayer formula you prefer.
If you like Call of Duty's fast-paced formula and find that you can pick up and play that style more, I'd say Titanfall 2. However, if you're playing with friends and there's at least 3-4 of you and you'll be able to play together a lot of times, then maybe BF1.
But if you think you'll still play even when they're not around a lot, then maybe TF2? Battlefield (not BF1) is just super annoying when playing with randoms. You'll literally question how some of them are able to turn on their PCs/consoles much less play well.
I played both betas extensively (reached level 43 in BF1 beta, and unlocked everything in TF2 test), and I'm going for both. Each game should be a good break from each other. If I'm in the mood for fast paced gameplay, then it'll be TF2; but if i want that military FPS feel, then BF1. I'm a big BF fan, so there's no way I won't play BF1 even if I hate some of the design decisions and such.
Kinda off tangent here, but if you've played the two, you'd understand where EA is coming from why they\re releasing so close to each other. EA is playing it safe so that if shootbro joe doesn't like WW1 weapons and such, they have TF2 to play instead of Call of Duty. If they don't like CoD and/or TF2, they have BF1. And then there's people like me who'll play all of 'em and stick to what I like the most.
Not saying it's right since their idea could bomb and cannibalize each games' player base, but maybe they crunched some data and found it the best solution rather than waiting a year.
Anyway, OP. if you can, play both and what clicks to you the most, that's what you'll recommend to your friends.
EDIT: Also, OP, seeing as you're familiar with Battlefield, then you know that BF1 will most likely have lots of bugs and be ironed out maybe a month after release or something. This is how Battlefield games have been and I don't see it changing anytime soon. I mean, I don't know the build the beta was based on, but there were a TON of bugs. Bugs you can live with and will no doubt be patched, but they were there.
Titanfall 2 though, felt polished and honestly, felt like it could be released this month.
Not sure if you care, but we did pit the two betas (tests) against each other: http://www.playstationlifestyle.net...nfall-2-vs-battlefield-1-battle-of-the-betas/ And yeah, I know it's kinda pointless a bit since we don't know everything about both games (modes, maps, weapons, progression system, etc) but it might help.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I dunno dude, you tell me.
That remains to be seen.

Titanfall 2 easily for me. Is it as good as Titanfall 1? Probably not, but the movement system is still best in class, and is backed up by unexpectedly satisfying gunplay and engaging Titan combat. You can totes style on people if you're good enough, bouncing every which way off walls while hip firing guys down like its nothin'. Hell of a game.
I dunno dude, you tell me.
There's only one correct answer here. Can you skate on an air-plane while throwing explosives in TF2? I think not.

Yeah, I'm conflicted as well. I never played TF1 and in the first week of the TF2 beta it was cool but mediocre. The second week after the changes I went beast mode and had a blast. The low ttk can get annoying, but once you get your titan if you are good you can get like a 5 kdr consistently lowering the amount of frustration. I have numerous hours in BF4 and reached level 140. However, the BF1 beta was buggy and the map was bad. One major bug I had on ps4 was certain weapons wouldn't even shoot when pressing R2. Turns out it's a dumb programming decision to require 100% trigger pull to activate, and older worn down ps4 controllers can't achieve 100% trigger activation.

Rainbow Six and/or Overwatch.

To me, this is the definitive answer. TF2's player base is a question mark, versus BF which will certainly be robust.

Did they confirm Attrition and bots in Hardpoint? I kinda fell out of touch after beta ended.

Thanks will check this out.
Man, they really wanted you to get that authentic WW1 experience if some guns wouldn't even fire lol.
Battlefield 1 was flawed but still fun in my opinion.
Titanfall 2 felt like a shell of its former self but I was testing on console and am primarily a PC player when it comes to FPS games so I can't say honestly when it comes to the controls but overall design was worse.
Battlefield 1 if either.
Rainbow Six Siege if you wanna look into something proven to be great.

I didn't liked Titanfall 2 but i played like 30 minutes and i never played the first.
My Battlefield 1 reaction went from "meh" to "¡ TAKE MY MONEY !" in few hours.

Battlefield 1. Titanfall 2's community sure as Hell won't last as long if the first game is any indication. And I just prefer Battlefield over COD style games, which is exactly what Titanfall is.
I think you should choose based on whether or not you have people to play with.
In my opinion the BF1 beta shined when I had even one other friend to play with and be in a squad with. Battlefield scratches a very particular itch for me--different from something like Halo or CoD, and BF1 scratched it perfectly.
I think if you play solo, TitanFall 2 would be the better options. In my opinion it lends itself better to solo queueing than BF1 just because of smaller maps, faster paced gameplay, quicker time to kill, etc.
Just my two cents! I will definitely be getting BF1 but I'm not sure about TF2. Good luck to you!

No you just get to control giant killer robots, wall run, and now you also get a grappling hook. So yeah there's only one correct answer.

Seriously man just say fuck it and get overwatch. One of my favorite games of all time and I have been gaming for 15 years everyday now.
I loved TF1 but I couldn't put more then 2 hours into TF2 which is less then the first day of titanfall 1 beta. Battlefield I wanted to try but competitive season 2 of overwatch came out so I only tried one match and it didn't hook me. Still getting both but for real man tell your friends to get overwatch you won't regret it.
There is nothing unique about how the titans control, you're essentially just maneuvering a cumbersome version of the infantry units (oh, and you can shoot rockets).
Wallrunning is lame as hell and has been ruining call of duty for the past few years.
Grappling hook? Really? Who thought that was necessary in a game where you have jetpacks and wallrunning... I mean, why even have a ground to run on? Just remove all gravity and you're set.
Battlefield is the only experience available that provides massive battles of 32 vs 32 in huge and fully destructible environments with gunplay that is far more satisfying than either titanfall or COD. Oh, and you can seamlessly switch between dogfighting, tank battles, and horseback all within the same match. It's also gorgeous too, and sounds incredible.
Come on, now that's worth the price of admission

I'd recommend waiting a month or two on both. BF1 is going to be buggy as shit and TF2 might not even be as good as TF1.

idk did we? felt like I played Blops 3 with giant robots called in once in awhile. Felt titanfall 2 beta was disappointing coming from titanfall 1
