My early thoughts after about 5 hours of play:
Pros
- Fast paced and intense. Simply put, its tons of fun. I put in a solid three hours without even realizing it tonight.
- Seems like the perfect mix of Halo and Call of Duty. Titanfall will supplant Call of Duty in the fast paced FPS genre
- Even if you suck, you kinda feel like you're doing well because of all the cannon fodder on the map.
- Short matches mean that you can easily pop in a game or two if you're waiting for something or before you have to run off and do some errands.
Cons
- Staying power? This feels like a game that would be awesome for 20 or 30 hours, and then it would just get repetitive.
- Smart pistol seems really cheap. Some tweaking needs to be done.
- Titan nuclear explosion: I have to admit, I've been using this frequently, but I think it might be the cheapest thing in the game right now. Basically all you gotta do is run towards a couple enemy Titans in your own Titan, and hope you blow up. If you blow up when near them, 9 times out of 10 they can't get away and you take out both of their Titans and the pilots.
All in all, I'm still on the fence about this. It's loads of fun, but I'm just worried I'd get bored of it pretty quickly.
Also, I found it pretty funny when Knubb got thrown in the room I was in. What a coincidence.
