Heard great things about the game, never played it though.

    1. This game is easily worth full price for the single player alone. You’d be an idiot not to pick it up for $3

    2. The multiplayer is back, like really back, and it slaps just as hard as ever. This is, genuinely, one of my main multiplayer games right now. The fight to the extraction on a loss is one of the most cinematic moments you’ll ever get in a PvP gamemode.

    Believe the hype on this one.

        If you can finish the campaign on Master, you’ll be pretty decent in multiplayer too in short order. Also can recommend Frontier Defense, it’s a multiplayer co-op mode that reinforces good multiplayer skills and allows you to get used to the maps

        This was my experience on the Xbox. Absolutely loved the campaign. Could not get a feel for how to survive mp after a few hours. There was a prolonged respawn and die nearly immediately loop. I uninstalled it after I got what I could from the campaign.

        The best tip is to focus on killing ai in the Attrition mode, and stay near teammates. But the wave defense mode is fun too, as you level titans they get overpowered upgrades which would be too unbalanced in versus mode.

      The game is absolutely amazing. I bought it for 5 dollars. I suddenly couldn’t play it anymore because you still have to deal with some ea bullshit and even refunded these 5 dollars. Game is a 10/10 ea is a 0/10

        First one didn’t have a campaign. It was online multilayer only.

        And the “sequel” to this one is Apex Legends.

    Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: EA on-line activation and Origin client software installation and background use required

    Requires 3rd-Party Account: EA Account (Supports Linking to Steam Account)

    Seems like another cursed EA game with built-in spyware.

      You forgot to quote the part where you have to be online for the single player campaign, as well.

      It’s a fantastic (though kind of short) campaign, though. Spend the $3, enjoy it a time or two, then Uninstall all the shit.

    actually a masterpiece of a game, the campaign is so unbelievably worth it, just keep in mind the vanilla multiplayer is unplayable due to ddosing. if you want to play multiplayer, look into the northstar client

      It’s EA Play now, which is actually somehow worse than Origin was.

      Still, Titanfall 2 is actually a great game (probably my favourite of the PS4 era) and is well worth a little suffering for.

        For some reason I often have games disappearing from my library, like they don’t even show up as purchased in the store…

        And I also recently got a notification on top of my library that some games have been removed from my library, but that I can download them again if I go to the store page. It’s really confusing as to why they are ‘deleted’ and why they can’t just show up in my library.

        I hate these dumb ‘user experience’ developments where companies are deciding what I should see in my library. I just want to see all my purchases, and have them available to me whenever I want.

        What the deal with EA Play? I see their subscription prices and I’m not doing that. Then below that I see the game for $3.99 CAD. Can I just get the game that way and not deal with any extra EA stuff?

          I don’t know for sure in this case but some EA games require you to use EA Play as a launcher, even if you buy the game through Steam.

            The desktop app is called “EA App” not “EA Play” which is where the confusion is coming from. “EA Play” is the game subscription service that’s like gamepass.

          You have to use their launcher, but you don’t have to get any kind of subscription.

    This game is really great and its length make it enjoyable many times.

    I played 2 years ago when I was still on PlayStation 4 and it looked great.

    The soundtrack is also great to listen to.

    One of my favorite FOS of the last decade with the killzone and wolfenstein series.
