You’ll be doing something new in almost each level, and this results in a campaign that feels fresh from start to finish. I don’t want to spoil these new mechanics (they’re actually linked to the story and are a joy to discover for yourself), but suffice it to say that Respawn hasn’t been afraid of experimenting with its IP. Titanfall 2 doesn’t rest entirely on the original's solid mechanics, though rather they prove to be a fantastic foundation upon which Respawn have piled new features. It’s no understatement to say that you'll feel skilled as you make your way through the campaign. The combination of platforming mechanics and first person shooting makes for a strange adventure, but one that feels consistently great as you mow down groups of enemies. Thankfully, it never skips a beat, and remains enjoyable throughout the campaign and beyond. Add to this the relaxed way in which the factions of the IMC and the Frontier Militia are introduced and explained to the player, and there's actually a great story on offer in Titanfall 2 one which cleverly underpins the crazy and weird game world.īut that would all be for naught if the gameplay hadn't held up. The Titan's witty comments, coupled with its genuine concern for your welfare, makes for an extremely enjoyable and engaging campaign. Throughout the campaign the Titan steals the show it has more personality and I formed a deeper connection with it than I ever expected. My expectations were low for the campaign, despite the fact that pre-release interviews by the developers emphasised the work that had gone into creating strong characters and a decent plot (they would say that, wouldn't they?), and not just because the first game lacked a campaign but also because the world of Titanfall was actually quite bland. This left plenty of room for improvement for the sequel, and so it's not especially surprisingly to find that Titanfall 2 stacks up measurably better than the original in most significant areas, so much so that I’d find it incredibly difficult to now go back to the original.Įnter a campaign mode - one of the most sought after features for this sequel following its absence in the first Titanfall.

The small PC community also meant that players were left waiting ages in lobbies to be connected to games, which is something a multiplayer-only game should never suffer from.
The lack of a single player campaign made the game feel expensive and relatively bare-bones compared to other shooters on the market. That being said, the original did have its flaws. More traditional EA and Activision FPS franchises have been playing catch up over the last few years, but very few have held even a candle to the original Titanfall's gameplay. Not only was combat and movement beautifully paced, but the constant power play between small, agile players and hulking strong Titans was a breath of fresh air for an increasingly stale genre. When Titanfall first hit PC and Xbox platforms back in 2014 it was clear that FPS genre had been changed for the better. Console versions seem to be doing better at least.By Dan Carreras, posted on 01 November 2016 / 11,630 Views It's really the only way I could see the game surviving on PC into the next year.
Respawn could totally build a much larger and loyal following if they went F2P with Titanfall 2 and had all those systems to support that, but it's never going to happen.

TF2 has a huge advantage of being free to play and having a loyal base who has earned a bunch of items and bought into that whole acquisition / trading / buying / selling economy beyond the actual game. The matchmaking just cannot put together solid matches most of the time because the pool is not large enough, and crushing blows and impossible skill matchups will just serve to drive more and more casual people away. It's just not fun to be on either side of that, and it only seems to be getting worse the community shrinks.
It's great fun when it clicks but on the whole it has the same problem the first one did where literally 90% of the games are complete blowouts.
