This has been my go-to-game this year. The detail of each level and game type variety is simply outstanding. I will be nominating this as my game of the year.

I rarely see human players on the ground. I don't usually get to fight them until the titans start showing up.


There is a new game type called Pilot Skirmish is a 8v8 human player only team deathmatch. Its pretty fun except the games often start with way less than 8v8 and slowly add as the game goes on. Check it out!

I really need to reinstall this. I had so much fun with it, but after doing an HDD/SSD upgrade several months back, the game seems broken (black screen on boot).

It's a shame because the game is awesome, but there just weren't enough players on XBone after a certain point. Haven't logged on since the Black Friday stuff though. It is/was a great time to get an Xbone.

I played COD: AW and it was a POS compared to Titanfall. Just made me even more angry people are so averse to change. I guess I just need to finally come to grips with the fact that gamers these days are more concerned with unlocking new shin guards for their avatar than they are quality gameplay.

See I think that's crazy. Since I've only played a tiny bit of Advanced Warfare I can't really speak authoritatively but I thought it felt much more polished and well thought out than Titanfall. Sure it lacks some of the freedom of movement but it more than makes up for it in terms of overall production and level design. At least at first glance.

Titanfall has some extremely good ideas. The wall running and parkour is awesome. I feel like the game falls flat in terms of flow though. The levels are too large because they have to accommodate the stupid mechs that aren't much fun to use and the campaign is a laughable inclusion.

AW > Titanfall. No lie.

Interesting. For me I just know when I played Titanfall I could basically go wherever I wanted. I bought AW and encountered an "OUT OF BOUNDS" warning half the time I tried to jump on a roof. I honestly was never sure where it was going to let me go. It seemed really tacked on, to the point where I don't even know if there actually is a vault animation. You jump towards a ledge, the screen kinda jerks wildly for a split second, and you're on top of the ledge. Also, the game is extremely quiet. I just didn't think it was exciting at all.

It's amusing how the base game dropped to $5 so quickly. I hope they learned from the first game to implement better ideas in the sequel.
