Well after the shit storms of CoD: AW and TMCC I decided to jump back on Titanfall this afternoon and it didn't take long to be reminded of just how fucking good this game is. Got straight into a game, people I was shooting actually died and it just felt right....it worked and it was a shitload of fun.
Went on a 7 game MVP streak and finally hit Gen 10 after taking a couple of months off from Titanfall. It's safe to say I'll be playing a heap more of this in the foreseeable future.
I haven't jumped back in yet, I am really enjoying COD at the moment, but I have to agree with your part around the quality of Titanfall.
If this was multi-plat and was released on the PS4, rest assured the 'feeling' around the game would be much more positive.
- Dedicated servers with barely any lag ever
- Exceptional maps, every single one, including the DLC
- The gameplay mechanics work and it is so well balanced. Nothing feels overpowered Pilot can take down a Titan, Titan can take down a Pilot
- The gruns actually 'work'. For something that took so much flack, Pilot V Pilot mode was just boring without the grunts and Titans
It is so damn good. As things stand, easily my GOTY.
I just hope any sequel doesn't go too far the 'COD' way. Yes, I'd like to see some variation in weapons. But don't go over board with a 'pick 13' type system.
Keep it relatively simple and Respawn have a real game series in their hands.
