Jeff's "Fuck you, its call of duty" rant on the podcast was pretty surprising to me. I have no that doubt Modern Warfare can be felt in every pixel of Titanfall, but the games are sooooo fucking different. I've played like 18 hours of the beta so far, but being told I would get 80% of that enjoyment out of a CoD game was an upsetting thing to hear.
It's true though.
Other than the versatility of movement and the cat and mouse nature of the titans vs pilots...Titanfall is basically COD:BLOPS multiplayer.
It's the continuation of a play type, not the revolution of one. And that's fine. I don't like COD at all but with the few additions that Titanfall has, it's made itself a brilliant successor. But I'm not going to pretend its something it's not. It's the next stage of call of duty gameplay.
