I know. I know. You guys said Titanfall 2 was awesome...
- Thread starter Chettlar
- Start date
It was already a perfect game but its length and focus really lends itself to repeat trips, which makes it a nice palate cleanser these days.
Just came to say that I love the energy of this OP and I agree wholeheartedly. I might just do a second replay on Series X as I hear it runs even better than on One X, and that was already silky smooth. Such a wonderful game, and I looooove BT.
It's great. I was laughing during the smart pistol sequence because the game knew it was making you OP as shit, but it was okay because it was so much fun.
I feel like Doom Eternal took some cues from Titanfall 2 in that both use a platforming > combat > platforming rhythm to its level design, except TF2 does it better because TF2's movement is more fun outside of combat. The whole system of wall-running and sliding is such a joy to use.

Uh yeah it changes up the game play to a good degree and mech fights get even better. Game is only like 10 or so hours at max so it's not long.
I started playing it two days ago, but couldn't move on until I got this one lol
Looking forward to the...actual game now

I tried twice and could never get into it. It seems like it'd be cool on PC if you're good with K+M but it was entirely too precision-based for me on a controller for some reason. Never really have that issue in other games but this one, damn. I could barely ever nail a good wall run and slide combo and so on, it always felt really awkward and I couldn't wrap my head around the flow of it all. The training area already frustrated me more than most games do in later levels because of that.
The best fps game ever made. I am currently replaying it after buying it for the 3rd time (and I could just play it on gamepass).
Every level brings some new gameplay mechanic into the mix and they never outstay their welcome. Unlike most campaigns where all the cool shit happens in non playable cutcenes, here it's all gameplay.
Throw in the amazing multiplayer, with the different titans, sublime maps and traversal and the game is just a blast.

It's alive and well on xbox one. It really sucks they can't do much about TF1 :/ Idk what the hell the guy's deal is. Like he's straight up made it impossible to log in at times. I don't understand it.
Sometimes a game just fires me up. It's rare, and I love it when it happens, especially given I have ADHD and often just can't vibe with a lot of games and it leaves me feeling a bit more dead.
And yeah as I understand the game has sliding resolution and of course framerate, so on Series X you'd be more completely getting the, what 6K resolution it runs at or something insane? The image quality on this game is stupid good.
Yeah, first game is just setting the stage.
This is a game about acceleration in a micro and macro level. So it starts slow and builds and builds. Also remember a lot of people are BAD at first person platforming, so it wants to start them off easier.
Even though I didn't completely follow the story and don't think it's the best thing ever, it's still worth setting up and building on, because it really brings the experience together.

You know what's hilarious? Other than this and the Master difficulty (why didn't they call it Pilot difficulty wtf lol), the game just THROWs achievements at you. It's kinda stupid lol.
What weird is there is only one multiplayer achievement. Kind of amazed. It's just for winning a single multiplayer match. There's not even one for winning ten. I'm surprised it never got any DLC trophies, like for beating a Frontier Defense on the highest difficulty, or for reaching max player level or something like that.
Which is funny since the first game is entirely multiplayer and on xbox they added an entire extra 1000G on top with the title updates and DLC maps (fuck I am so mad seeing how anemic TF2's map list is. TF1 literally does not have a bad multiplayer map. Why did they leave those all behind?). It's the only multiplayer only game I have 100%ed I think. I might sit down and just try and hammer out Bleeding Edge but like, that one's achievements are super simple and straight forward.
It's probably just as well for me though tbh. Don't love the changes they made to multiplayer, so I'll probably only play a little more. I'm gonna save the multiplayer win achievement for a day I want to grab a quick achievement for microsoft rewards points.

The gauntlet is intended to be very hard. Don't sweat it. You'll be better by the end of the game. I'm still intimidated to try it though, and I'm pretty decent at titanfall.
I'm just never going to forgive them for only bringing over a paltry amount of TF1 maps, when literally all of the TF1 maps are incredible. TF2's list is anemic too.
Really fun game, though I take the deeper combat mechanics, weapon and enemy variety and challenge of id's DOOM games over it.
Mechanically...
Its still the best FPS ever made.
Played it again on Gamepass and the minute to minute gameplay flow and the way you move/shoot/do your things is STILL 3-4 classes above everything else.
Campaign is also extremely well done, with flawless pacing.

No I mean I did end up playing the campaign for at least two, or more, hours but it was just one of those games that constantly made me feel like I'm terrible at it and can't even string together basic 'cool' shit it wants me to do. I got stomped nonstop as well and none of it encouraged me to actually learn it. I just flat-out didn't like the game but part of that was that I thought it was aesthetically bland as hell on top of it. I especially thought the weapon designs were so uninteresting, I could barely tell the guns apart besides 'big and small'.
I don't mean to shit on the game though. It does what it does seemingly well and I know people really dig it, I just didn't get it. Also as a disclaimer I really typically like hard games, not that I even thought it was incredibly hard or anything.
It's probably the best modern FPS campaign and is 100% up there with the greats like Half Life 2. It doesn't progress the medium in quite the same way Half Life does but it's a masterfully tuned experience that is just terrific at everything it wants to do.
TF2's campaign was way better than it had any right to be. Every level was amazingly designed and brought something new (and, most importantly fun) to the table. Even I really loved it and I'm not usually much of an FPS guy.
"Protocol 3: Protect the pilot."
I loved playing the campaign, but I found the story to be pretty unmemorable. I think there were definitely levels and encounters that were super memorable, but the overall plot of what I was doing and why I was doing it felt a little undercooked to me, or at least not really what I'm looking for in a single player narrative. Great game otherwise though. I should really replay it on Series X on Game Pass.

I just played it on Regular. I'll go back for hard later.
I had the benefit of having played a ton of TF1 right before, so I was more used to the movement. I think the more you get used to it the more you'll enjoy it. I actually didn't play it on xbox for the longest time because I figured it would be bad on controller, but I wanted to play the game again and it's pointless to on PC. So I decided to just give it a shot.
Perhaps playing the multiplayer first a bit would help?
I knew that's what he was doing before he said it and I was so mad. I was like YOU'D BETTER NOT KILL HIM GAME.
Wet are getting it now that the Apex leak was essentially confimed real
Incredible campaign. Perfect pacing. I admire the devs commitment to scope and polish - resisting the urge to padd the game up with filler content in order to reach more playtime. No gimick overstays it's welcome, instead you are left with a feeling of wanting just a bit more - which is a great place to be.
It's fantastic. I love it.
And also the multiplayer. Having played hundreds of hours in Titanfall 1, my kneejerk reaction to 2 was not enjoy the changes. But I say stick with it, OP, game does a lot right and mobility is improved from the first game (bless slidehopping).

Oh I remember something that fucked me up consistently...you can't sprint and strafe at the same time. I assume it went with the whole idea of movement, sliding and building momentum in the game but it frustrated me to hell and back. I know that's just me not playing it right but yeah like I said, it never gripped me like a Souls game or so where I just need to and want to learn every nuance of it and improve.

I wasn't super into the last level of the campaign compared to what came before, but it's easily one of the best FPS campaigns I've played recently
It really gave me some HL3 vibes. It just took the best elements of FPS in terms of combat, platforming, exploration, clever encounters, level design and delivered on everything. It's top 10 in this generation and one of the best FPS ever. Even being in such close proximity to DOOM and Wolfenstein which were also absolutely amazing and a great comeback for the genre, this game was able to shine through.

I honestly got so many portal 2 vibes from it, and like, beyond the factory and the fact that it's the source engine, I really don't know why.
I played through it on PC back in the day off an Origin sale, I was absolutely blown away with how good the campaign was.
Played it again recently on the XSX after seeing it was on XGPU... yep, still awesome. Shit didn't age a day, all the big moments still had hard hitting impact. The TF2 campaign is a must play for anybody who enjoys first person shooters.

I have a feeling it won't age barely at all in the coming years.
I'm so upset gamers didn't buy this game when it came out.
Titanfalls biggest complaint was not having a campaign - this gave us one of the best FPS campaigns this past decade.
While the MP didn't match TF1 - it was still great and one of the best MP FPS out there.
The mechanics, gameplay, versatility, etc. was so unmatched.
On top of that - no loot boxes, free DLC.
But gamers didn't give a shit.
