Titanfall 2 gets 9 on GS

@R4gn4r0k: Curious have you played the campaign yet? Gamespot is saying this game is best played on Hard, seems odd they have that kind of article on their front page, must be important....I was going to start on Normal but if its too easy I'll go hard from the get go

These guys havenot even made a single player that is longer than 6 hours in thier entire career.

even COD1 was extremely short.

Played about an hour and a half of the campaign last night and one game of MP.

Campaign seems pretty fun, good size areas to run around in and does a good job of teaching you the mechanics. Only planned on doing 20 mins of the campaign before diving into the MP but it kept me playing.

also, PC version runs very well, though that comes as no surprise given that it uses the Source engine.

@Alucard_Prime: I played it a bit last night. I always play campaigns on the highest difficulty so I don't know if there's a difference.

I personally wish they had made the campaign styled like Battleborn did with missions that tell the story. Seems a better fit than the on rails thing plus it works better for co-op. Plus you can always add more missions to expand it.

Still a bit disappointed how they changed how the Titans operate. In Titanfall 1, the Titans were game changers that took skill to take down. In this game they just feel like disposable power ups or ultimates In a fighting game. Not really feeling the health pick up system.

Campaign does a good job of teaching you the mechanics though. I love most of the guns in Titanfall especially the new laser weapons. A few dont feel 'weighty' enough though like the sniper rifles.

I didn't get too far only got to the point where I fully powered up the Titan and run around in the sewers.

It has this fast run and gun gameplay from COD.

But it also has the mobility and weaponry from the old school shooters like UT.

Most games would suck with 10min rounds, but this game pulls it off perfectly. In 10 minutes you'll have been a pilot several times and a titan several times.

It's pretty great !

Can't say yet.

I'm only going to do the campaign when I'm tired of MP for a bit. But as of right now it's very addicting to try out all the game modes, pilot variations and titan variations :)

I'm quite liking the campaign. As in, it's kinda what this game could use. It's incredibly fun when you mix the whole Titan-Pilot gameplay. Yeah, the multiplayer has this, but it feels more 1vs1, as opposed to single player where you can feel pretty badass due to the AI not being on the same level.

You die pretty fast though, it plays with the whole "stay in motion" much like Doom does. But it's fun. It's fun taking that fight to the AI. Honestly, I didn't expect this to be as satisfying as it is now. It's cool. Good on them.

I was a bit worried with no PC beta and lack of PC review copies (only saw one review that did the SP for PC, MP for consoles)

But I was pleasantly surprised to see the game run really well.

The game even has ultrawidescreen support, I'm super happy :D

Played some MPlayer today. Way out of practice but I like the feel of TF2. It is oh so smooth.

@oflow: Cool thanks, I like my games challenging but over the years I've noticed not all games do the hard difficulty correctly(it sometimes crosses into frustrating territory), but I think hard should be fine for this game to start and I remember from playing earlier it allows you to switch difficulty on the fly, so I could always downgrade.

No offense to Gamespot but if they say the game is better played on hard, no way I'm playing it on normal lol...if they can do it on hard, I'll step up to the plate for sure.

From the first few minutes of the SP campaign it looked like a generic shooter. Granted I most likely didn't watch enough of it but can anyone explain and describe how and in what capacity it (assuming) it gets better?

While watching some gameplay videos. game looks incredibly easy with regen health. is it true?

I dont see its fast paced like Doom.

Hard seems good enough for me. I've died a few times already, there is a little wallrunning and falling into bottomless pits scenarios. It only takes a few shots to take you out. I want the highest "normal" kind of difficulty, and the last one MAster seems a little cheap where many things can 1 hit KO you apparently. Oh well, to each his own, I think I will stick with hard for now. Campaign is pretty cool so far.

God this game plays so freakin good but there are so many stupid design decisions that hold it back. It still plays great but the presentation and immersion in multiplayer has taken a major hit. A lot for the changes feel like Respawn trying to fix problems that didn't exist.

Finished the campaign this morning... one of the best FPS campaigns I've played since Wolfenstein TNO. Really enjoyed it.

My beef is that the maps aren't anywhere near as good as the ones in the first game. To be fair that first game had a genuine excellent selection of maps, so it was a pretty high bar to match up too, but bleh.

Yeah PC gamers got burned by Titanfall 1. TiF2 has about 10% of BF1 player numbers on PC.

I wonder if it's actually good this time or has the same issues.

Also... Worst release window ever? I just got Civ 6 and BF1... If I get it it'll be closer to the end of the year.

This campaign is NUTS! This is easily the best shooter campaign I've ever played. The MP is great as well. I was hyped for this game but even I didn't expect this. Now I wish I didn't preorder COD or buy that damn Destiny expansion. I may never play those!

@jg4xchamp: Crash Site is one of the worst multiplayer maps in the history of gaming. Everything about it is the exact opposite of what you want from a titanfall map.

RIGHT? At first I was looking at it and thinking it was pretty, and then I was half way through a match of attrition and thinking man, I've done nothing but run into bots? The navigation on that map feels off, it's like trying to be Lagoon, but without the interesecting and crossing paths that map had.

I don't like the Titans as classes thing.

Man the campaign has nailed every cool level design gimmick Dishonored 2 boasted about.

Would be fun to see if Arcane can one-up this.

I'd still rate DOOM SP slightly higher because the core combat loop is done better there.

TF2 SP did a lot of cool stuff with pilot gameplay, but kinda left Titan gameplay behind.

I'm also on board with MP map design compaints atm.

I'm not sure if i just don't know the maps well enough yet, but a lot of them feel like Fracture, which was the worst map in the first game.

Does this look slow to you?
