[Afro Republican]

Wait, isn't Titainfall 2 old? Why is it getting new users?

I edited the OP with an explanation. Free on PS Plus for the month of December.

It’s free on PS+

 

[bucyou]

loved this game when it came out, might have to reinstall since matchmaking should be quick

 

[GreenAlien]

Nice, it deserves more exposure.

 

[Afro Republican]

Oh you edited, i was about to joke that the whole first page would just be people quoting me saying the same thing about PSN.

 

[ShirAhava]

Game of the generation

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

I played through the campaign for the first time this year. Loved it. I wish it had even more levels. Definitely one of my favorite FPSs from this generation.

 

[ethomaz]

Why so low? 49k on PS4 is basically dead.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

I bought full priced, played it for the first time yesterday.

 

[Justin9mm]

Not too interested in online since I'm fully invested in MW for all my online free time but is it worth the download for the campaign? I must admit I slept on this one and heard it's one of the best FPS campaigns ever made.. But is that all hype?

 

[The_Mike]

The prequel was superior in literal any way.

 

[mcz117chief]

The prequel was superior in literal any way.

That is true. I couldn't get into the second game at all so I just went back to the first one. I can't think of anything which is better in the second game (maybe graphics? I don't remember them being much superior).

It's not hype. The campaign hits some amazing highs and some really cool moments. The enemies and combat scenarios may not always be perfect, but for a linear, scripted game it's pretty fucking incredible.

Don't want to spoil anything, just gonna say it is easily the best FPS campaign we've seen in a long time.

I think I'll try to play the single player at least. Heard so many people hype it up. Finally hit the right price point for me to try it.

 

[TexMex]

Multiplayer is fine but that campaign may be the best of the decade.

 

[ScarletSpider]

Best FPS this gen imo, GREAT addition to PS+. If you haven’t, definitely play it.

 

[TexMex]

I still have PTSD from that god damned time trial trophy.

 

[GenericUser]

Having bots in a competitive multiplayer game is a stupid idea. That killed the game for me.

 

[jadedm17]

The free thing fascinates me since this INCREDIBLE game has been like $7.99 at many places for many months.
Seriously just shame to those who havent picked this up yet.

 

[Bathtub Fart]

Played the first hour of the campaign and it felt like cringey call of duty sci-fi. Couldn't get into it.

 

[iamvin22]

Game is amazing at least the sp mode.

 

[Alx]

That is true. I couldn't get into the second game at all so I just went back to the first one. I can't think of anything which is better in the second game (maybe graphics? I don't remember them being much superior).

Tf2 is much better on physics, I found it hard to go back to the first one and lose sliding and grappling. I also enjoy the gameplay variations with the different titans, it adds more diversity to the games.
I miss all the NPC stuff of Tf1 though (cripted grunt behaviors or ships fighting in the air), and it's larger range of environments.

I normally never play multiplayer games

Having bots is what made me even give it a chance

bots are awesome

 

[Alx]

They're not even the usual bots, more cannon fodder to use for speeding up your Titan meter and scoring points.

 

[Kagey K]

I feel like I’m missing something here. What sequel are they promoting?

 

[phil_t98]

this game was pre all the 100 player online games and with the Bots it made it feel like you were in a bigger battle. not played much of Titanfall2 online but in the original the Bots worked well

I like the momentum gain from the 1st game a lot. The grapple is ok but I think the overall speed is lower in the second game. Maybe it was my experience with the first game and inexperience with the second but I feel a lot faster and more in control in the first game. The titans in the first game feel more interesting and varied to me, how you can mix and match any weapon on any of the chassis, so for example I have a Goliath with Triple Threat for CQC and wave clear, Stryder with railgun for sniping, another Stryder with arc cannon for CQC against titans (dash in and out of cover) and an Atlas with chaingun for that vanilla feel.

2s multiplayer felt inferior in almost every way. I played so much of 1 and just couldn’t do it with 2. One of my biggest disappointments of this gen.

All they had to do was take what made one great and fine tune it a bit.

 

[imsosleepy]

I had so much fun with this game!! The single player was awesome and the multiplayer was sooo god dam smooth
loved it

 

[Blood Borne]

Let’s wait until the honeymoon is over

 

[xrnzaaas]

I don't get what OP is saying, this would be a good promotion if Titanfall 3 was a few months away from release.

I still have PTSD from that god damned time trial trophy.

I'm stuck on 95% trophy completion, no way in hell am I going to waste a few hours of my life on that trophy.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

If you don't love BT at the end of the Titanfall 2 campaign you're lying.

 

[AV]

I never quite understood why the campaign got so much praise, but I stopped playing about 60% in, does it ramp up towards the end?

The MP is still one of the best FPS MP of the decade, though.

 

[Boss Mog]

They're promoting Apex Legends and the Titanfall universe more than Titanfall 3 here.

 

[RainblowDash]

It's a really good game.

 

[TeamGhobad]

free to play and only 50k are playing it....

 

[VertigoOA]

When it launched it had like 10k players at most. So compared to that... nice turnaround..

Bot modes are always trash

 

[Bryank75]

Great to see more people playing, hope it goes up more, it really deserves it.
I also hope they play the story, which is really brilliant.

I'll probably hop into multi to check out the new recruits' skills...

 

[Kagey K]

Convince 10% of those to buy your sequel and you are at a whopping 5K. So give your old game away and then what?

 

[PhilipDoesMatter]

Worth for the campaign. Only.

 

[Gamernyc78]

Sounds like the Nioh situation. Ps plus put Nioh on its roster around the time of the nioh 2 beta and it seems a large influx of ppl have been playing it just like my son. I even went back to it and finished the dlc. Great marketing for both games.

I saved the video of myself getting it. Less than a second to spare:

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

best fps of the gen

Considering FPS' are my No.1 fav genre, I'm not sure why i skipped this originally, something probably put me off but you got me excited now. Will download tonight, thanks man!

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

One of the best single player FPS campaigns in a decade. It’s short but sweet, played through it 3x.

 

[Mistershine.]

The campaign is a decent enough and can be easily done in an evening but the multiplayer left me wanting.
