Those old COD and TF games he made are the best batch of shooters I played.

I used to love FPS games growing up, but kind of fell out of love with the genre. Everyone once in a while though, a game comes along and reminds me of why I loved the genre in the first place. That's Titanfall 2. Thank you, Vince.

One of the only games I regularly revisit. Only Halo CE comes close.

Truely the Mario of FPS games. Every level was cracked. The Smart pistol one was fucking genius.

Damn. I only played it once at release and I loved the hell out of it. Got real Half Life vibes at some points and I remember the Mario comparisons being thrown around too.

I really need to revist.

Do it. Its one of my favourite First person shooter campaigns of all time. If you have a PC it runs at about 500 fps on anything remotely modern as a bonus.

Titanfall 2 is easily one of my top 10 all-time favorite FPS games.

For a minute there I forgot what thread I was in and you were talking about a kojima and Vince McMahon team up.

I don't know Vince Zampella personally, but he reached the absolute pinnacle of his industry, that's all most men can hope to do, to be the best at something, to lead and inspire people in something, and he absolutely did it, FPS gaming will be poorer for his loss.
