E3 2016: ‘Titanfall 2’ Examines The Bond Between Man And Machine In Its Campaign Mode

One of the main criticisms that held the original Titanfall back was its lack of a true campaign mode. Respawn and EA are looking to address that with Titanfall 2, with a story focused trailer that debuted during their E3 2016 press conference.

Focusing on a Titan who’s pilot was killed in action, the perspective switches between the behemoth robot and its new perspective pilot as it does everything it can to protect its new controller from being shot down on the battlefield. Showing off some of the new environments, visuals, abilities and characters, Titanfall 2 seems like it’s doing a good job with fully integrating what we learned about this world in the first game with an actual narrative to dive into.

The original game was some of the most fun I had during the early Xbox One days, so integrating that gameplay with something for us to do when we don’t feel like being yelled at by strangers online can only be for the better. This sequel looks fantastic in motion, so I can’t wait to head over to the convention and try it for myself. With the game making its PS4 debut when it releases alongside its Xbox One and PC versions on October 28, it might be hard which version to pick! Especially with the collector’s edition on the market.

What are your thoughts on the campaign, the last game’s lack of one, and the second game as a whole? Sound off below, and make sure you watch the trailer while you’re at it!
