After getting tired of the Call of Duty and Battlefield series, Titanfall was a gift sent from heaven. A refreshing palatte cleanser that takes elements from the shooter genre and adds giant mechs. In the game you play as a "pilot" and you have a big array of movements at your disposal. You can wall run, wall jump, double jump, wall hang, and ride on enemy/friendly titans. Everybody gets a Titan, but the more kills you get the faster your Titan arrives. Once you get your Titan you can leave it on automatic and let it get kill for you (he will obviously be dumb and clumsy) or you can enter your Titan and reak havoc. You can customize your Titan outside of matches changing build, weapons, side arms, abilities etc. As a pilot you carry 3 weapons and, some explosives, some perks and special abilities. The weapons are pretty standard, for your primary weapon you can chose from assault rifle, SMG, LMG, sniper rifle, shotgun or the smart pistol. For a arm you chose from pistols. You also get an anti Titan weapon so you can take down the big guys. You get to chose from standard granades, electric granades (grate for taking down Titan shields), c4 and claymores (although they call them diferently that's pretty much what they are). There are a neat variety of perk, and some of the special abilties make you temporarily cloak, see through walls, or run and regenerate health faster. You also get "burn cards" these are cards that you unlock by doing stuff (killing dudes, finishing matches, completing achievemnts...) and you can use them once. When you activate them they are active until you die or finish the match. Once you use them they are gone forever, but you get so many that you don't need to worry about spending them. I've had to throw away some because I don't have enough space for them. It's a neat little system that can help you in a match. The cards can range from giving you a more powerfull version of a certain weapon, to making you permanently cloaked or getting a Titan right away. Just make sure you save the rare ones for special ocasions. The only disapointing thing I found is the campaign, you don't fight agains ai, instead they are multiplayer matches in set maps with a little bit of story about what's suppossed to be going on. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, you keep progressing. The hard part about the campaign is getting matches, sometimes you can't get to play the campaign because there is simply no one playing it. In any case. In my opinion the multiplayer is worth it for itself, and for less than $40 it's a must buy for any online shooter fan.
Sure it might not have made everyone happy, but how many games can claim to have gotten NO criticism whatsoever?
The action is fast paced and intense. Not many people even use the Smart Pistol (cause of much whining on the forums). The integration of SP and MP is not as bad as some may lead one to believe.
I for one, do not view the game as "incomplete" as some do. After all, anything that tries to break new ground is often met with criticism or insult (by the ignorant and narrow minded).
There is enough variety and novelty in the experience, while it also retains certain things which are familiar to fans of the original Call of Duty games such as Modern Warfare 1.
To call it "Call of Duty with Mechs" is a very shallow and simplistic opinion that fails to address the fact that ALL First person Shooters will be quite similar to one another, since they are in the same genre. Much like how a Basketball game will always feel like, and play like... a basketball game.
It lifts my old PC gamer heart to see an arena shooter like Titanfall again. Since the advent of Halo on the O.G. XBox, I've found that most first-person shooters have slowed their pace significantly since the heyday of Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, and Tribes (Perhaps the only outlier here is the ever-present Call of Duty series, which retained the speed of these previous games but never chose to evolve over time).
And this is exactly what Titanfall is: an old-school shooter. It's a hot pot of many elements that defined the arena shooter circa 2000: a blistering pace, plenty of verticality, and with maps designed to push and encourage both elements.
PROS: - Free running is an absolute revelation here. Simply hoofing it through the maps won't do (and is most likely a source of ire amongst players who try to play it only like Battlefield or CoD). Running along walls, soaring through the sky with well timed double jumps, and ziplining will get you across the map faster than anything in the game. The maps are designed with these fast lanes in mind, so use them. I don't even see a narrow alley anymore, I see a slingshot to the rooftops. This ease of movement also happens to discourage a lot of camping; if you're not moving, you will die quickly.
- The game's eponymous Titans are versatile and are equally useful in many different situations and play styles. You can always hop in and wreak havoc. You can set it on auto-pilot and have it stand guard while you capture a point. You can use it as bait against another Titan while you flank the enemy and hit it with heavy explosives (or my favorite, jumping on its back, ripping out a protective panel, and shooting its guts out). All these strategies are viable.
- Near-perfect game balance. An enemy with a Titan isn't as big a disadvantage as you might think if you don't have one of your own yet. You can use the map and your own arsenal to harass or even seriously damage a Titan on your own. On the other side of that card, a well organized group of Titans can only be taken down by an equally well organized opposing team (who may not have any Titans, but it can be done). Similarly good weapon balance as well, if a bit generic in variety.
- There isn't a single awful (or even just mediocre) map in this game. Roomy without being a hassle to navigate through, with a good mix of open spaces, tight corridors, and everything in between.
CONS: - Campaign and Story Mode junkies need not apply. The so-called multiplayer campaign isn't much more than a mix of team deathmatch and control point maps with unique intros/outros and some talking heads tossed in for good measure.
- The graphics engine used is a modified Source Engine, which has been around for about a decade now. It's showing its age here, but it doesn't mean that Titanfall is an ugly game. At the time of writing, the game could use some optimization as well for the higher graphics settings.
- Bare bones matchmaking. Titanfall uses CoD's lobbying system, but will not scramble or sort teams based on player levels. Seasoned players won't have much of a problem with this, but new players will have a hard time initially.
- People coming from Battlefield will be absolutely shocked to find that matches are only 6v6. There are AI opponents scattered all over the map, but even though they still give you precious points after killing them, they're nowhere near the challenge of facing real humans.
- $60 is a bit much for an online only shooter, no? But I loved the beta, and had no qualms about dropping the cash for this.
There's a great base for a franchise here. It's a successful start, but has tons of room for improvement. An actual Campaign mode in this setting would blow a lot of minds. But for now, I'll settle for "best arena shooter to come out in years."
