E3 2016: The ‘Titanfall 2’ Multiplayer Trailer Puts Its New Abilities Into Action

While most of the chatter coming out of EA’s E3 2016 press conference regarding Titanfall 2 had to do with its newly revealed campaign mode, that’s not to say that the team at Respawn forgot where its bread and butter was. As seen in the game’s new multiplayer focused trailer, there will be plenty of new ways to take down the enemy team when you jump online as both a pilot and a Titan.

New Titans is definitely a feature to get excited about, but the trailer had a lot more to show than a few new robots to tear through the town with. The new weapons and pilot abilities really stole the show for me, highlighting the level of innovation that is coming with the highly anticipated sequel. Highlights of the trailer include expanded melee options for the Titans, a grenade ability that pulls enemies towards it, leaving them as sitting ducks for you to pick off, and the grappling hook, which will let pilots latch onto their enemies and pull themselves in for the melee kill… Even while both are in the air!

The first Titanfall had a reputation of being especially stylized in the gameplay department thanks to its unique take on movement, coupled with its changing dynamic between being on foot or in a Titan. Titanfall 2 already looks to be taking this concept much further, in ways that I can’t help but look forward to.

Haven’t watched the trailer yet? Give it a look and let us know your opinions on the new features in the comments! Titanfall 2 will release on the PS4, Xbox One and PC on October 28.
