When I first heard Titanfall was going to be an online only game I'll be honest I was immediately frightened like I'm sure many others were, everybody knows EA doesn't have the greatest track record when in comes to games that our always online but for once they got it right and get this they actually made a pretty damn good game surprising I know shall I explain.


Story: You want to hear about the campaign story huh? your funny lets just say it's nothing worth going into because the campaign isn't worth playing i'll get to that later.


Presentation:Titanfall looks absolutely fantastic, their aren't a whole lot of levels for Titanfall but the levels they put in this game are great pretty much every stage is memorable and their really aren't any stages that I disliked playing. The presentation isn't something unscrupulous but their really isn't anything too memorable to it.


Gameplay: First off lets talk about the campaign, you would think they would just give you a regular campaign to play but since this is an online game they make a lazy excuse campaign that you will have to play for yourself to find out what I'm talking about, Look! I get it, it's an online only game and they really only wanted to focus on multiplayer but I don't like this what if Call Of Duty started making lackluster campaigns and only put their effort into the multiplayer.... huh....? whats that... They already do....? oh... Well damn it you see my point now every company that sees that this is ok and see that games will still sell like hot cakes without it will ask the same question, why put effort into something nobody cares about well damn it sure when I play a shooter the multiplayer is always my main thing I want to play but sometimes the campaign is worth playing if it has some effort put into it don't just throw it too the sharks and get rid of it or even make nothing out of it. I know, I know I'm just ranting but they could of put some more effort into their campaign. So besides the campaign how is multiplayer huh? did Titanfall work on day one did Ea f#$k it up again, it's a freaking miracle no they didn't mess it up in fact through pretty much all of day one everything ran pretty smoothly for me. So many of you are probably wondering how does the gameplay differ from many other shooters well first off i played mostly attrition on this game so that's what most of my time is going to be based on so yeah... So basically all attrition is, is a team deathmatch the more kills of pilots, grunts, and specters is more time off of your titan many who might not have played this game might think that titans are great and they can be,but their not overpowered and that's what makes this game so great, both the Titan and Pilots have their advantages Titans maybe more powerful when it comes to their strength and weapons but if a pilot jumps on top of them or rodeos them they can be useless, unless you are really good at getting them off your Titan will take massive damage, so Titans do have weaknesses and that makes Titanfall feel completely fair when it comes to this mechanic. As every shooter has its certain perks so does Titanfall and some of them are ok but I found that a lot of them were honestly uninspired and I never used them and there was just literally no variety especially on the titans their our only three special perks for the titans and the only one I kept using over and over again was the smoke cause it keeps enemy pilots from rodeoing you but the rest were just uninspired and weren't worth the trouble. So instead of kill streaks in this game you get burn cards, what are burn card? well their many different cards that will give you something like for example some may give you a titan right when you respawn or some might give you double xp their our so many of them that would take hours to describe them all so I'll just say I do like the addition of these because I do have to admit that kill streaks can be cheap sometimes. Another thing I wanted to mention is that each Titan has a special ability One has damage increase, one has boost increase and one has health increase(obviously not in those exact names but you get what I mean) these can be used by waiting when they are available or the faster you get points the more faster you can use them just like you would with a Titan these our nice to have but really a boot increase I don't get why anyone would want this. The thing I think I liked about Titanfall the most was that for the most part this was a very fair game, at least for the most part weapons can still be pretty overpowered like they are in most games but in this one most of the guns you get are close to as strong as the guns that are stronger so their isn't a huge disadvantage and also they fixed the smart pistol so Thank God for that. Titanfall has some innovative idea with wall climbing and titans obviously and many other little innovative things that make the gameplay a lot of fun to play.


Overall Titanfall might not be that great if your looking for some extravagant game, but I will say this as a shooter its a lot of fun and not only that but its a memorable game that anyone will like and can pick up and enjoy.
