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.

Multiplayer actually working? Been having to use a mod to play, but it's been a while

Multiplayer is amazing, but everyone seems to be way beyond my skill set at this point

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.

Apparently there are 9000 people playing on steam right now. That's not bad!

Yeah, player counts have been healthy for the last year. I've never had to queue more than a few seconds for a game in any 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

Yeah no.

  • EA game should be reason enough not to buy this game.
  • Requires EA launcher
  • Requires EA DRM
  • Requires linked EA account
  • No offline mode, even for single player

You couldn't pay me to play this game. If you buy this game, you forfeit the right to ever complain about this bullshit because you're actively encouraging it.

Worth it for the campaign alone at 5x that price. I got the game with no expectations years ago and was very impressed.

Agreed it's easily one of my favorite single player campaigns.

Do you need to have played the first one for the campaign to make sense?

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

And the "sequel" to this one is Apex Legends.

I still haven't played the first. It was fine without.

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.

I bought the game. Then immediately pirated it so I wouldn’t have to install this EA crap.

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

Multiplayer was fixed like a year ago, I had 5 great matches last night with maybe a bit of lag on some guys, but that's normal for vidja gamez

Yeah, multiplayer works perfectly out of the box now, no more need for Northstar.

I always wondered why the servers were shit. Why are people even doing that to a game server....

AFAIK the ddosing was solved/stopped a while who, the multiplayer works great now

still not worth installing origin

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.

Ah, that makes my decision easier. Thanks for the info!

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 is what stops me from picking it up each time I see it drop this low.

1 more...

I want a third one more than most any other game. 2 was just so fun

Yeah, we won't get one as long as whales keep dumping cash into Apex Legends cosmetics.

Is there a way to play this without installing EA spyware?

I imagine you can avoid the EA shit if you pirate it.

Very linear campaign, but an excellent game. I recommend playing it, but can't recommend the EA crap.

Do I have to install EA bullshit to play the campaign?

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.

Man, I really should give this game another try. I remember getting it at launch, but completely forgot about it because of other game releases at the time.

You can run through the campaign in a few hours, so there's very little time investment. Give it a shot!

Is this worth it on Xbox One? A used copy is pretty cheap at GameStop. Wouldn't want it on PC due to EA junk.

Pair this with some Egyptian club music like dj nir Maimon and it's the best game in the world

Does anyone know if the campaign is multiplayer? I’d love to pick up two copies of the game so my spouse and I can give it a go and play together.

I have zero knowledge about Titan Fall apart from the fact you’re in mechs and apparently movement is cool. So no spoilers please!

It’s not, but it is one of the best single player campaigns I have ever played.

My partner and I often play through single player games together in tandem, waiting for one another at each checkpoint.

There is a co-op PvE mode if that’s your speed.

Gracias homie. My spouse and I had to play Jedi Fallen Order on two separate PCs. It’d be great if we could couch co-op the campaign but it’s all good. We played several of the Halo games, I think primarily 1, 2, and 3, so Titanfall I’m hoping will be something that my spouse will want to try out. Thank you!

Edit: Heh. I’m the ideal customer because I have to buy two copies of a game sometimes. “Publishers love me for this ONE simple trick.”

I don't think it is. I played through it a few years back and don't remember that but I could be dead ass wrong. But the campaign is SO GOOD and relatively short it wouldn't be that bad just to play through it each on your own. The multi-player is alright, the servers aren't the best but you can find matches for sure.

Cool, thank you! I’ve been hearing so much about this game and would definitely try out the multiplayer.
