I was a huge fan of COD for several years; COD4, MW2, Black Ops, MW3, Black Ops 2, then it finally started getting old and I started getting sick of it. I loved the original Titanfall (got all the way to 10th gen), dabbled in Battlefield here and there and always enjoyed them.
Coming into this fall, Titanfall 2 had me the most hyped. I played the BF1 beta, it wasn't quite pulling me in, even bought the full game and it's just not for me. Even gave the Infinite Warfare beta a shot and it just feels tired and repetitive. Titanfall 2 has absolutely delivered for me. It's incredibly fun, if you complained about lack of unlocks and customization, well, Titanfall 2 has you covered. There are numerous factions to rank up, your weapon, your secondary, 6 titans that all rank up and "regen." I always loved the dynamic between Pilot vs Titan and it still feels amazing. With the addition of 6 Titans, all with different abilities and weaponry, numerous new Pilot "Boosts" like Sentry Guns, etc., it's added an entirely new and exciting depth to the MP matches. Not to mention the Titan battery mechanic, which I feel was panned initially, but now I've learned to appreciate it as yet another interesting dynamic to the game.
Respawn has also done such an amazing job with scoring and ranking as well this time. I can only comment on Amped Hardpoint, Attrition, and Bounty Hunt, but your score and performance truly is based on playing the objective. Your deaths are not shown at all on the Scoreboard. And the ranking is done by merits. Every 10 merits is a level. You get 1 merit for winning, 1 for completing a match, then every game type has a "Good Performance" metric that will gain you a 3rd merit if you fulfill the challenge for that gametype. Attrition is kill 3 pilots in a row without dying, Amped Hardpoint is get 1000 Assault points or 500 Defense points. Then you get merits for anything additional that you level up. For example, Factions, primary, secondary, Titans, Titan primary, everything continually ranks up and each rank nabs you another merit. I'm level 30 2nd gen and it doesn't feel like a grind at all. The progression is very fluid and constant.
I can't recommend Titanfall 2 enough for a fun, and rewarding multiplayer experience if you're tired of the ol' COD formula.
