There are six in all, which represent the bots you’ll need to take down. Each new level grants the Vanguard Titan more loadouts from fallen ones.

Although brightly colored, there’s something about the vibe here that reminds me of Isaac Clarke’s sci-fi escapades.Īpproximately half the campaign is also spent inside BT. The Source engine has once again proved itself to be a champion of performance.
FACTIONS TITANFALL 2 PS4
Speaking of visuals, this is a good-looking game that never exhibited any issues on both the Xbox One and PS4 version that I played. It’s not super detailed, but it’s effective. Visually, it’s akin to Borderlands with a cartoon image at the top right of the screen. BT talks to Cooper via a comlink, and eventually, once you’ve taken down the first Titan boss, you’ll acquire a chip from his helmet radio thus allowing you to eavesdrop on the other mercs that are out to kill you. Other gameplay features are born from the original game too. One such area is an automated factory that makes furniture, appliances, essentially, whole living quarters. This is one of the best first person titles to use wall runs/jumping that I’ve ever played. What’s great is how developer Respawn uses such a simple game staple to explore environments via platforming. Those who’ve played Titanfall will recall that as a pilot, when you're outside of the mech, you can wall run. Along the way are evil baddies to take down, a secret to uncover, and a universe to save.īeat for beat this is a pretty standard sci-fi action romp, but the switching between Cooper on foot and piloting BT is a great way to change things up. Once Cooper gets linked with BT, these two must get back to the Militia’s Special Recon Squadron while battling the generically named INC’s troopers on the planet Typhoon. You play rifleman Jack Cooper whose dreams of one day piloting a Titan becomes a reality, although at the cost of his superior officer’s life.

Truth be told, the story that spans only nine levels is pretty basic, but that’s okay. Some might champion the team play antics of Overwatch and other multiplayer-only titles, but I’ll stick with my BT any day. But feeling like you’ve got a friend along for the ride? That’s everything. Being encased in the mech while causing mayhem can be fun, and taking out enemies as a soldier a la Call of Duty works fine. Focusing on these two instead of the broad strokes of an entire universe has made all the difference.
FACTIONS TITANFALL 2 SERIES
As Jack gets to know his previously used Titan, BT, I finally felt like I was getting to know the world known as The Frontier, and to a greater effect, the Titanfall series as a whole. What’s really impressive about this ambitious sequel is that, amongst all the explosions and whatnots, the story of would-be pilot Jack Cooper and BT-7274 is an interesting one.
