Really all I remember is people putting Titanfall down for lack of one.

Shit bored me half to death yesterday...
Fuck. Guess I'm gonna have to pick this game up.
It's funny, a lot of people blasted the original titanfall for not having a campaign/single player mode. Now it seems like Respawn delivered one of the best Campaigns this year, not to mention a solid multiplayer suite, and a promise of free DLC. I wonder if it'll make a difference in sales?

I'm not sure but his twitter gives the impression that he absolutely adores the campaign as he's played it. A review is likely.
That's true and under normal circumstances I'd have a go at it, but I dislike futuristic settings and guns, I've had Titanfall for a long time and couldn't play more than a round at a time because the environments and guns felt generic. That's not to say the design is bad, I am just personally not a fan of futuristic things, only Halo and Mass Effect (off the top of my head) have sat well with me.

I normally ignore GAF first month impressions due to the honeymoon phase, but I can't help but want to pick up TitanFall 2. I had no intention of touching the single player, but I might give it a shot afterall.
Now to figure out which platform to pick it up on.

I was expecting the very definition of a tacked-on SP, but all these impressions are making me really excited to play the SP when I finally get around to buying this. Don't really want to juggle between 2 FPS MP games, so unfortunately it'll have to wait until I'm bored of BF1.

I might have to Redbox it.
the gameplay is better as the parkour stuff is pretty inventive. the characters, story, and setting...not so much as there isn't much there.

Okay okay... You guys have my attention now with this game, but can someone elaborate on the comparisons with Titanfall 2 and Half-Life 2 or at least direct me to a post where I can read up on this?

IMO it's not even that short. It's "short" in the same way Vanquish was short - six hours long, but it's like six hours of playing a bullet hell shooter. That's actually a bit of a lengthy game for the kind of engagement the player is involved in.
There aren't many non-interactive cut scenes in Titanfall 2's campaign. It's mostly constant forward movement with in-line communication of the story and plot. Since the player is almost always doing something interesting, it feels satisfying. Plus the campaign plays with concepts that are fully fleshed out in each of its 8 chapters that many other games would devote 2 or 3 chapters to because they were afraid of overwhelming the average player with too many new ideas too quickly.
And that can lead to great twists and turns, like suddenly having the crazy shit in chapter 4 thrust upon you and you just have to deal with it.
Most importantly I want to play the levels again just to play them, because they are a real game and fun, rather than filler to reach cutscenes.

As far as multiplayer player retention goes? It probably won't.

Thanks for letting me know. Is it safe to say that this is better than Battlefield 1 campaign? I was planing to buy one or the other.
You son of bitch don't say this to me. I told myself I'd wait until at least Black Friday.

Forget "safe", it's Infinitely superior.

That is a very bold claim. I can hardly read it as anything else than a hyperbole.
Did you watch the entire thing? Because ain't no way you can watch past the first couple of stages and think that this is all old hat.
Compared to Battlefield 1's campaign? No, not bold at all. It is infinitely superior.

Hate to rain on anyone's parade but the Boss fights are main negative sticking point for me. It's everything people stereotype western Developers to design- uninspiring and conpensated with adds.
The only ones that stood out to me were Ash and Viper- Ash as she
and Viper for being
, none have to do with the any actual boss mechanics

Battlefield 1 is not a very good campaign. It's not. I'd say it wastes its potential utterly.
Titanfall 2 exploits it's potential in the best way it can. That's why I say "Infinitely superior". One fails to develop, the other succeeds with flying colors.
Yeah, pure 60
While I can't force you to buy this, you're gunna have your mind blown when you do.
It's great, just plain fun with some super smart gameplay elements. It doesn't overstay it's welcome and constantly keeps switching things up.
The multiplayer is also equally as amazing if not more. Loving the game as a whole, it's up there as one of my favourite shooters in recent memory.

definitely worth buying for the SP, but my mind hasn't changed since the tech test.
truly disappointed that i dislike R2 MP so much after R1 being my only game for over a year and a half.
Play it, don't watch it.
Normally with shooter campaigns, I tend to play them for set piece moments because the story is average.
While Titanfall 2 story isn't anything special... man oh man the things your doing from minute to minute (barely any set-pieces) by far the most fun I've had in a single-player shooter campaign since COD4. Can NOT wait for Titanfall 3.

4-6 hours of mostly gameplay. Awesome gameplay though.

I'm sure it is from a gameplay perspective, but without the story and characters to back it up, it puts it far below Wolfenstein for me. I liked Doom as well, but that's another game that I have no desire to experience again after beating it because of how bare the story and characters were.
