So I got gamepass for my series x, I’ve played all halos, doom, all cod’s, half life, etc - I mean it’s my favorite genre of videogame. I can say definitively - purely gameplay wise this is probably the best feeling FPS I’ve ever played. What in the world? I’m not talking story just purely gameplay. How did I not know about this? Also is there a way to do split screen co-op? That would send it over. I’m honestly shocked at how good it is. Will they be making another one? Am I losing my damn mind?!?

 

[diffusionx]

Yea Titanfall 2 is amazing. It’s up there with the best in the genre for sure. Both games in the series play incredibly well.

 

[Golgo 13]

Yes, it’s one of the best single player campaigns ever made in a FPS. And yes, the gameplay is goddamn excellent. Multiplayer isn’t too hot though, and that’s what killed the game for many.

First Titanfall is still the best competitive multiplayer experience of the last 10 years, but there’s no single player mode.

Ah damn the multiplayer isn’t good? Please tell me they’re making another one of these

It’s unique and fun for a few hours but lacks the depth and strategy of the original Titanfall. Worth a shot, you might really like it.

As far as Titanfall 3, it was mentioned in an investor call recently, but it hasn’t entered production yet, so you’re looking at another 3-5 years minimum I’d say, if it does begin development soon.

They were going to make one, then it became Apex...

Ugh

 

[DavidGzz]

STILL need to get around to playing this.

 

[Balducci30]

Dude, I’m legitimately shocked by the quality. Had no idea

 

[eyesabitdull]

I thought it was average AF.

But that's probably more than likely because I never quite invested the time to master its movement mechanics.

Cause the story was nowhere near "the Half Life 2 of our generation" as a small number of reviewers say it is.

 

[Rival]

Almost as good as wolfenstein.

 

[bender]

In recent memory? Sure. Ever? Nah.

The single player is . Don't sleep people on this one

 

[Buggy Loop]

Man, the only bad thing about the single player campaign is that we don’t have enough time to use the insane auto tracing gun. That was wild. It’s very good and perfect length.

 

[manfestival]

I find the campaign for COD1 from the same guys more memorable but.... Vince has a way of making great campaigns

 

[Shrennin]

Respawn is one of my favorite developers in no small part due to TitanFall in general, but TitanFall 2 definitely had a Valve like campaign to it. It’s up there with the best.

 

[Codes 208]

Titanfall > Titanfall 2 for me personally.

the campaign is amazing but the mp felt watered down compared to the first

 

[HoodWinked]

It absolutely does reach half life 2 in it's campaign it's far more difficult to have that kind of impact in a campaign because of the "it's been done before" axiom which makes it practically impossible to have those kinds of moments but TF2 yet managed to have several. And the pacing of the campaign was simply masterful.

Who knows maybe there is some weird intangible unexplainable thing in the source engine that makes for exceptional campaigns.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I played roughly an hour of it before passing out from boredom. Nothing redeamable about that first hour.

 

[01011001]

my reaction to the title of the thread alone.

YEAH, NO SHIT!

 

[Hugare]

Damn good campaign

The best narrative one in a FPS since ... I don't even freaking know, honestly.

 

[dcx4610]

I liked it but it wasn't as good as it was hyped up to be. Still solid and worth playing.

 

[PontiusFeeb]

The campaign is right up there with Half Life 2, and in my opinion even better, making it the best single-player shooter campaign ever. I just finished it for the third time this evening.

 

[Balducci30]

Oh the story isn’t on that level at all I’m more talking about just the feel and mechanics than that stuff

EDIT: I have not completed it yet tho so who knows. To be honest I don’t really care THAT much about story in pure FPS games anyway so yeah...

 

[Alexios]

I would have liked more variety and more use of the parkouring crazy skills, it seemed like you had segments that were all out COD, segments that were adventuring taking advantage of the mobility to explore and progress but very little of both at the same time save for some arena-like areas that were all about parkouring around while killing fools until the game allows you to progress further almost like Doom. The Titan combat was cool and brief and served its set piece type purpose well on top of those elements. It's a really cool action adventure FPS but could have been even cooler...

Its strength was in that every campaign level was refresh and unique and well done. No game will ever be for everybody.

Yeah I’m kinda a sucker for a game that switches it up a lot. And like I said the game just feels incredibly good to play.

 

[Enzo88]

It`s good but i don`t think it`s even the best of this generation with stuff like Doom around.

 

[Balducci30]

I’m playing on console and Doom has been really difficult to get the hang of - it’s so damn quick. Maybe if I was playing with a mouse and kb I’d agree

 

[teezzy]

Only Doom 2016, Half Life 2, Halo 3, and Deus Ex Human Revolution are better

Top 5 for sure though

 

[bender]

Half-Life 2 might have a better story but to experience that story, you have to trudge through that slog of a campaign. Titanfall 2 is a tight six hour campaign that is always introducing new concepts and mechanics. Because of it's length, it never has a chance to overstay its' welcome. It's the polar opposite of Half-Life 2.

Calm down Half-Life 2 fans, the base game is better than the awful Episode 1 and then series found its' footing with the wonderful Episode 2.

 

[EDMIX]

Only thing that stopped that game's rise was BF1. (fuck EA for that too, they should have moved it to spring)

Really liked the single player story more then I thought I would, also love the MP and all its free post launch content.

I'm hoping they treat Titanfall 3 the same (with post launch content, not cramming it between BF6 and Call Of Duty Civil War) lol

 

[Grumpy Toe Nail]

Titanfall 2 had a surprisingly great campaign, especially when it came to boss fights. Problem with the multiplayer imo is they gave zero attempt at creating an esports scene for the series. Even the original was lacking a real ranking system at launch when it was multiplayer only, obviously people eventually lost interest.

 

[TexMex]

Not the best but definitely up there. Campaign is probably top 5.

 

[Keihart]

Favorite SP FPS campaign by far this gen.

 

[MrFunSocks]

Titanfall 1 is the much better game, especially in terms of gameplay. They absolutely nerfed it to hell with Titanfall 2.

Did a few levels of the single player campaign but it's just your average COD campaign. Not for me.

 

[Explosive Zombie]

For FPS campaigns it's... pretty okay? Like mildly better than a CoD campaign?

 

[yunkaiza]

I wanna give this a try when in comes to Game Pass PC, but I'm playing Doom Eternal atm and holy shit it's good. Is TF2 better than Doom Eternal?

 

[borborygmus]

This. I bought it on sale because of GAF's recommendation and it was OK. Went through some decent but heavily scripted levels. Shot the bad guys. Cool. There's not much to it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Foamy]

A Titanfall 3 next gen exclusive would be fire.

 

[Explosive Zombie]

If it had been like an entire game like the time travel level I could see it.

 

[WiseguyMVP]

Funny, saw it in my games list and wanted to show my son so we finished the game today after starting it a long time ago.
It's fun and the shooting mechanics are solid.

 

[Senua]

Sooo like...Is that like...a question?

You talk like that Ben Pack fruit

 

[LegendOfKage]

Ah damn the multiplayer isn’t good? Please tell me they’re making another one of these

It's probably my favorite Multiplayer shooter ever. The people who didn't like the multiplayer generally either couldn't get past the changes that they made to the game from the original Titanfall (to be fair, a lot did change), and/or they played the beta which wasn't representative of the final game. They made some much needed changes to movement from the beta. There's no right and wrong here, but loads of people loved the multiplayer, so try it for yourself.

 

[Halo is Back]

It's a damn good game and one of the best MP FPS out there period. My main criticisms of the MP though is that they nerfed the Titans from the first game. Titans in the first one had regenerating shields, in the second all damage is permanent . Also the maps were not as big and open as the first game too.

This guy explains it pretty well imo.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

I dunno, is it? For me, it was alright. Felt too short and wish there had been more mech sections. Story was okay, nothing mind blowing.

 

[PuppetMaster]

Yes Titanfall2 is amazing. Very underrated game.

Both the SP and MP are fantastic.

 

[Balducci30]

I wanna give this a try when in comes to Game Pass PC, but I'm playing Doom Eternal atm and holy shit it's good. Is TF2 better than Doom Eternal?

I honestly have trouble playing doom eternal due to the speed - so I’m not the best guy to ask for that
