In the campaign, you play as rifleman Jack Cooper who assumes the pilot status of a Vanguard Class Titan called “BT-7274” but you get to know him as just “BT”. What made this sequel different is the addition of a stellar single player campaign. Respawn Entertainment was able to double down on the movement and scale that made the first Titanfall such a blast to play. I was able to get my hands on Titanfall 2 as part of PS Plus Free Games of December 2019 and all my suspicions about this game were correct. I'm pretty sure that there were many other gamers out there that felt the same way. Also, with the Christmas season quickly approaching, who knows when Titanfall 2 would get added to my backlog. I was already set on picking up Battlefield 1, which sadly made no room for Titanfall 2. But nothing with EA ever makes any sense. Why would EA release Battlefield 1 AND Titanfall 2 in the same month? That makes no sense. But my cheers quickly turned to groans when I saw the release date, October 28, 2016. When Respawn Entertainment unveiled the trailer back on E3 2016, I literally sat up and cheered as I saw the game in all its mech glory. Squeezed in between Elder Scrolls and Dragonball Xenoverse 2, Titanfall 2 did everything it could to cement itself as a worthy sequel to the original Titanfall 2. I think using the term “Crowded” is a severe understatement. October 28 - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition (PC, PS4, XBO)Īs you can see, October 2016 had a very crowded release schedule. October 25 - Dragonball Xenoverse 2 (PC, PS4, XBO) October 21 - Sid Meier’s Civilization VI (PC) October 21 - Battlefield 1 (PC, PS4, XBO) October 18 - Batman: Return to Arkham (PS4, XBO) October 11 - Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration Edition (PS4) October 10 - Metal Gear Solid V: The Definitive Experience (PC, PS4, XBO) Now before we begin, as in every Criminally Underrated segment, let's look at some of the more popular releases of October 2016: Sadly we forget that whenever EA is involved, something is sure to go wrong. This game was the type of FPS that we all needed and it was surely a game that I wanted to play. It was almost like having a license to print money. You would think that a game about piloting a huge mech should have been a sure fire hit. You really did put forth all the effort to rebound from the lackluster outing back in 2014. Oh Titanfall 2, you deserved so much better than this.
