Heard great things about the game, never played it though.

    1. This game is easily worth full price for the single player alone. You’d be an idiot not to pick it up for $3

    2. The multiplayer is back, like really back, and it slaps just as hard as ever. This is, genuinely, one of my main multiplayer games right now. The fight to the extraction on a loss is one of the most cinematic moments you’ll ever get in a PvP gamemode.

    Believe the hype on this one.

      Apparently there are 9000 people playing on steam right now. That’s not bad!

        Yeah, player counts have been healthy for the last year. I’ve never had to queue more than a few seconds for a game in any mode.

      The game is absolutely amazing. I bought it for 5 dollars. I suddenly couldn’t play it anymore because you still have to deal with some ea bullshit and even refunded these 5 dollars. Game is a 10/10 ea is a 0/10

        The best tip is to focus on killing ai in the Attrition mode, and stay near teammates. But the wave defense mode is fun too, as you level titans they get overpowered upgrades which would be too unbalanced in versus mode.

      Yeah no.

      • EA game should be reason enough not to buy this game.
      • Requires EA launcher
      • Requires EA DRM
      • Requires linked EA account
      • No offline mode, even for single player

      You couldn’t pay me to play this game. If you buy this game, you forfeit the right to ever complain about this bullshit because you’re actively encouraging it.

    Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: EA on-line activation and Origin client software installation and background use required

    Requires 3rd-Party Account: EA Account (Supports Linking to Steam Account)

    Seems like another cursed EA game with built-in spyware.

      You forgot to quote the part where you have to be online for the single player campaign, as well.

      It’s a fantastic (though kind of short) campaign, though. Spend the $3, enjoy it a time or two, then Uninstall all the shit.

      I bought the game. Then immediately pirated it so I wouldn’t have to install this EA crap.

    Worth it for the campaign alone at 5x that price. I got the game with no expectations years ago and was very impressed.

      It’s EA Play now, which is actually somehow worse than Origin was.

      Still, Titanfall 2 is actually a great game (probably my favourite of the PS4 era) and is well worth a little suffering for.

        What the deal with EA Play? I see their subscription prices and I’m not doing that. Then below that I see the game for $3.99 CAD. Can I just get the game that way and not deal with any extra EA stuff?

          I don’t know for sure in this case but some EA games require you to use EA Play as a launcher, even if you buy the game through Steam.

            The desktop app is called “EA App” not “EA Play” which is where the confusion is coming from. “EA Play” is the game subscription service that’s like gamepass.

      Yeah, we won’t get one as long as whales keep dumping cash into Apex Legends cosmetics.

    actually a masterpiece of a game, the campaign is so unbelievably worth it, just keep in mind the vanilla multiplayer is unplayable due to ddosing. if you want to play multiplayer, look into the northstar client

    Man, I really should give this game another try. I remember getting it at launch, but completely forgot about it because of other game releases at the time.
