So uh, Titanfall 2 Campaign is amazing

No opinion one way or the other as I'm still in the first level, but I'll say right away that the game showing you were to jump next every time you're like 2,5 s in the same spot is beyond lame. Will see were it goes from here but Half Life 2? Yeah right.

I think Titanfall 2's campaign is better, but I've never been a huge Half Life fan.

You think people are exaggerating when they say that but there is one level in particular which may make you rethink that statement.
 
Really? I'm two levels in and I'm not feeling it. Some platforming bits but so far it's a typical CoD campaign with stupid AI.

I'm way more into the MP.

Like I said in my review, it's the Super Mario Galaxy 2 of shooters. Nonstop inventiveness wrapped in unbelievable locomotion.

The gunplay and mobility is soooo good I almost dont want to get into my Titan sometimes. Although that's fun too. A+ job Respawn!

how do the mechanics compare to the first game? I've heard so many good things about tf1

To be real, Pilot vs. Titan combat is underrepresented, but everyone else in terms of movement and ideas is in this Campaign. If this was a way to have an idea of what made Titanfall 1 get so much praise for its movement, it's showcased here.

For MP itself, things are switched up significantly. Like a Halo: CE to Halo 2 sort of way.
 
Still need to play it, but I'm glad there seems to be another game continuing this year's trend of big-budget FPS campaigns not being shit.
 
Great job Respawn. I loved the campaign. Easily one of the best modern FPS campaigns I've played in a long time. Was filled with real WTF moments, the build up going from simple ot holy shit, and the emotional highs and lows, you guys need to make full on single player Titanfall game. It was great.
 
Love that this game is selling more copies because of a good campaign. Single player campaigns are my favorite parts of video games, and I welcome rewarding a developer for making a good one.
 
It's definitely better than typical cod campaigns. My favorite aspect was some of the humor and boss fights. A solid 8, short even on hard though. But that's typical with this genre.

I just finished it today and yeah man, it is easily the best of this gen bar none. and ranks up there with campaigns in games like Halo 1 and stuff for me. Respawn killed it on this campaign.

COD better bring the heat because Titanfall 2's campaign is great. It builds at just the right pace, the character growth is actually there, and you can really feel the bond between pilot and Titan.

All in all respawn did a great job and i need some Campaign DLC stat.
 
I spent my gaming budget for the next month or so on hardware, instead, but now I'm really excited to get to this when I can.
 
I wasn't sold on this game after the beta, but after hearing these impressions about the single player campaign, I definitely will be picking this up this month.
 
Two quick questions:
1) How long would you say the campaign is?
2) And are there other offline modes like bots?

I rarely play multiplayer but I'm really curious about this campaign

1. with no collectables, achievement hunting, 5 is your average

Think of it like a Half Life Episode 3

On hard it isn't gonna take more than 6 hours.
That was with achievement hunting but no collectibles.
 
UGH, I was hoping to just buy BF1 this holiday season but it's looking like I'm opening up the wallet again. 2016 2 gud for FPS's
 
I didn't expect to hear this and the HL2 comparisons have me even more interested... this will probably be my next purchase then.

The campaign is about 4-5 hours on normal difficulty and it's the only offline mode.

Huh...is the multiplayer good? I've never played online competitively that much but the free-running + mech combat looks pretty cool. Easy for a newcomer to get into?
 
I'm most of the way through it now. It feels like they crossed Call of Duty with something Capcom or Platinum might make. There is an oddly Japanese feeling about the story mode.

It might be the enemy variety, it might be the fast gameplay, the art direction kinda looks like Vanquish or Lost Planet. I think what it really might be though is the sort of humble production value which gives me the impression Titanfall 2 had a considerably lower budget than Infinite Warfare or Battlefield 1, so Respawn had to go back to presenting it like a PS2-era game except with some things it learned from making the Modern Warfare games. A big standout is how Titanfall 2 has regular loading screens. It doesn't use cut scenes or some other barely interactive thing (like slowly walking down a hallway) to hide the loading screens. Maybe what happened was that EA felt confident about its quarterly earnings because of Battlefield 1, so Respawn ended up getting a bit more creative freedom (and a smaller budget) to do what it wanted to do with Titanfall 2, and the result was a short but shockingly creative story mode.

Where it ranks alongside Wolfenstein and DOOM for me is probably gonna depend on its replayability. I beat Wolfenstein at least three times to get all the stuff and just because I wanted to. I still want to go back and play DOOM. If I end up wanting to start up Titanfall 2 again after finishing the campaign I'll probably buy it on PC. Right now though DOOM feels like it was the meatier game in terms of what all there is in it.

Given the relationship between the development teams, it's gonna be very interesting to see how Infnite Warfare's campaign stacks up.

Edit: Titanfall 2 would definitely be a must--buy for me if it had a survival mode of some kind.
 
I'm not sure how I feel about these kinds of threads. I want as many people as possible to play this game, but I also don't want to hype up the campaign too much - it's best experienced with no expectations. TF2 and DOOM campaigns were so amazing, in part, due to how freaking unexpected they were in their greatness. High expectations aren't going to make the TF2 campaign any less wonderful, but people are going to have unrealistic expectations going in and that's going to tarnish the experience, IMO.

Regardless, advice for anyone going in: Don't start with sky high hype and expect to be blown away and dazzled every second. There are slower moments. Let it suck you in; let it take you by surprise.
 
Probably the best FPS campaign I've played in the last 10 years or so

If you haven't bought this one yet, you're making a big, BIG mistake
 
This is so good to hear. I'm still going through Gears and Doom but I can get this now at like 48 with amazon prime. I'm still getting Call of Duty with the Remaster, so I hope Infinite Warfare's campaign turns out to be a surprise as well.

The moving and shooting is easy for newcomers with some high learning curves. The mech combat is challenging and will take a while to get used to. Mechs are very fragile in multiplayer.

Personally, when the original came out, I wasn't really playing any online shooter because it wasn't my thing. I invariably sucked at Battlefield and CoD so they were inaccessible, but I was so addicting to the original that I kept playing until I got pretty decent.

While I'm slightly disappointed with Titanfall 2's MP, I believe it'd still have the same effect. There's really a mode for everyone.

I constantly place high on the scoreboards, despite being literally the worst player at the Pilots. vs. Pilots shooting. You're bound to find either the traversal, pilot gameplay or titan gameplay very fun -- and you're free to stick to which you like to most.

So for someone that mainly plays single player content, this or Battlefield?

Battlefield doesn't have bots I don't think either.
Titanfall 2 is definitely the better buy for SP gamers. Especially since the trophy list is easy and like 95% all sp related. With the MP achievements being hella easy.
 
Best campaign of the gen.

Multiplayer is fun, fluid and exactly what it needs to be. BT THAT campaign has Halo 1-3 levels of replayability.

Edit: meant but* but BT works too.
 
unlike most Call of Duty campaigns (which i generally enjoy a lot), Titanfall 2 left me simultaneously satisfied with its conclusion and wanting more

like, i'd legit buy single-player DLC for this game lol
