A very good first instalment, but the best is yet to come.

Respawn Entertainment takes the knowledge of gameplay mechanics that made Call of Duty 4 great in 2007 and refines it to create a fantastic shooter in Titanfall, but they do not adequately identify all of the points that have given Call of Duty its staggering popularity over the years, leaving a game that, while excellent and incredibly balanced, is unlikely to be able to topple the titan itself.

“Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall is immediately fun to pick up and play, but astonishingly short on the long-term hooks that ground most multiplayer shooters.”

An intensely fun multiplayer game that is accessible and fun for everyone. Not perfect, but that's what sequels are for.

Titanfall is a genuine improvement on the standard multiplayer FPS fare that we’ve come to expect. By turning the game’s campaign mode into a series of well-balanced multiplayer matches, Respawn ease you into the gameplay slowly. Once you’ve ploughed through those 18 rounds though, you’ll realise that you’re unashamedly hooked.

Landing in a crater of hype bigger than any imprint left by the plummeting robots of its title, Titanfall is the biggest game of the new console generation so far. But does it live up to expectations? Just about.

Respawn’s first game is a bold push to create that new must-have multiplayer game, and in so many ways they succeed. It fails to deliver on the potential of an online campaign, almost falling into the same trap that befalls their single player-laden competitors, and doesn’t really attempt to create new and interesting game modes.

There is no sense in going over what the recently released Titanfall means to the Xbox One as a whole, as it’s well known that Microsoft has put a lot of stock into this Xbox One (as well as 360 and PC) exclusive EA published first person shooter. What is evident from the industry insiders, as well as the many online forums and publications out there, is that people have high expectations for this game. Well, we here at COG have been anticipating the game’s release since it’s unveiling at E3 last year and after having played it at PAX...

When we first went hands-on with Titanfall we were dying to play more, and that still holds true today. What Respawn Entertainment has created is addictive, thoughtful, and accessible to a wide variety of gamers. It might not feel completely fresh, or deserving of its next-gen label, but the game brings enough new elements to the table that it should stand out from the pack. Yes, there are some missteps with the customization and mode options, and there will always be the pitfalls of that online requirement, but as it stands Titanfall hits all the right notes. Is it the...

For years, competitive shooters have struggled to introduce context into a genre centered on brief flashes of action repeated ad infinitum. Much has been made of Titanfall’s mysterious campaign multiplayer, where story and competitive action seamlessly intertwine. In practice, the brief campaign of two futuristic armies clashing on distant planets is a limited framework for storytelling. The bigger narrative innovation introduced by Titanfall is the match structure itself. By providing an organic form that includes a beginning, middle, and end to virtually every match, Respawn Entertainment ratchets up the dramatic and competitive potential of the online shooter.

Titanfall has all of the pieces to make a very nice FPS puzzle — a wide variety of well crafted maps, a decent amount of familiar game modes, and a prestige system to hold the interest of veterans. In that sense, it’s a very welcoming game that many disenchanted genre fans will enjoy. Just don’t expect anything monumentally different, or a worthwhile world to enjoy while you’re having fun shooting everything in sight.

8.9/10

Titanfall represents a potent fusion of established and modern design ideas, creating a tense and rewarding balance of power and moment-to-moment unpredictability. MOBA-like minions mix with traditional on-foot deathmatch, jetpack-powered locomotion, and giant-robot combat – each role playing its own part in the battle and coming with its own tactics and strategies – while the well-designed maps make the ideal weapons and loadout completely situational and dynamic. Though Titanfall is somewhat regrettably a barebones game in terms of modes and customization features available at launch, its intense action is almost as exciting to watch a friend play as it is...

Titanfall is the rare game that feels like it came out on top of the few compromises Respawn has had to make. Sliding the spectacle and holy shit moments of an epic campaign among bold, fast multiplayer that steals unlikely elements, Respawn has made them shine like they belonged there all along. Titanfall may not mark the same kind of sea change that Modern Warfare started but the pieces are all there in a game that delivers on its potential as the next big thing.
