"Titanfall 2 remains one of the greatest FPS in the genre's history and is a testament to why a poorly chosen launch window can greatly hinder the success of a near-perfect title."
The Titanfall 2 community, regardless of platform, is very passionate and has stuck with the game through good times and bad. Even the least active veteran will usually be vastly more skilled than a new player, though this skill gap does close with time. With enough practice, even casual players can quickly become competitive.
This initial gap can make the community seem difficult to break into at first, but a steady stream of new players ensures there is still room for newcomers to learn, even as Titanfall 2 approaches its seventh birthday.
Like all competitive shooters, there is a toxic element, but it is mild compared to franchises such as Battlefield or Call of Duty. It is mostly limited to impatient veterans venting about “noobs” and new players accusing skilled veterans of cheating due to their near “god-like” knowledge of each map and weapon.
While Titanfall 2 has not received a native client for Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation 5, it still benefits from the additional power of both consoles, offering 4K at 60 fps, with Xbox Series X|S users able to enable FPS Boost and experience Titanfall 2 at 120 fps for the first time.
Despite being a multiplayer-focused title, Titanfall 2 offers one of the most beloved single-player campaigns in the entire first-person shooter genre. Many players recommend it for the campaign alone, and I share that sentiment,it is one of the best the genre has ever produced. I would recommend it even to those who never intend to play its multiplayer component, especially given how affordable and widely available it remains in 2023.
Titanfall 2 is a first person shooter game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts, it released on 28 October 2016, and is available on PC, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

Titanfall 2 is the complete package. There is so little wrong with it that finding a single major flaw is difficult. It delivers phenomenal visuals, fast-paced yet balanced combat, and a wide variety of modes encompassing PvP, PvPvE, and PvE. Every Titan feels powerful yet counterable, and player skill determines whether a towering mech becomes your doom or your triumph.
The combat is easy to pick up yet offers a very high skill ceiling, allowing players to truly master their chosen Titan and loadout. Most importantly, Titanfall 2 is simply fun. Who doesn’t want to stomp around in a massive mech, crush enemies with heavy weaponry, or settle things with an all-out Titan boxing match?
Each of the six Titans plays differently, allowing for a wide range of styles,from the fast and aggressive Ronin to the defensive Ion, or the fiery Scorch for those who enjoy setting the battlefield ablaze. There is something for everyone, and every Titan is worth trying.
Between its loyal core community, renewed interest in the Titanfall universe following Apex Legends Season 9, and its availability through Xbox Game Pass and EA Play, Titanfall 2 remains an essential and active shooter experience that continues to stand the test of time.
We found Titanfall 2 to be a masterpiece of a game, meaning it is a must-play for almost every gamer, due to its near-perfect gameplay experience.
"The Cycle: Frontier was a good idea executed poorly"
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) remains one of the most iconic and controversial video games in history, and while it has been remastered and remade twice, playing the original is still enjoyable for those who wish to experience it as it was originally intended. "
"Forever controversial and killed off before its time, Star Wars Battlefront 2 remains popular with gamers old and new and will likely do so until Battlefront III (or yet another franchise reboot) occurs sometime later in the 2020s."
