Grappling hook will have you swing around the maps, drag your enemies closer for a bullet in the face, or help you rodeo enemy titans in a revamped Titan takedown system. With jump-packs and wall running coming back from Titanfall 1, playing as a Pilot is an acrobatic and graceful dance of death. Brand new Titans Titanfall 2 PS4 features six new freshly manufactured titans with diverse abilities.

Futuristic gadgets enrich Titanfall 2 gameplay In Titanfall 2 the Pilots have some interesting and devastating technology to play with even outside of their Titans. From a Firestar igniting the enemies it hits, to a game-changing Gravity Star which creates a sphere of increased gravity pulling in Pilots and letting you shoot them at your leisure.
Use cloaking systems, deployable particle shields or enemy-detecting pulse blades and define your playstyle. Three new multiplayer modes Titanfall 2 multiplayer introduces three modes new to the franchise. Bounty Hunt gives random objective to both teams, focused about hunting AI grunts, rogue Titans or enemy pilots to gather money rewards.
But be careful, dying before putting the cash in the bank takes half the money from you! Pilot vs Pilot takes the Titans out of equation letting the Pilots duke it out between themselves. Finally Amped Hardpoint is a domination mode, where you can capture the same point twice for double points!.
The best way to describe the gameplay in Titanfall 2 is fluid and precise.
Titanfall 2 is everything Titanfall should have been – storified, robust, and sufficiently multiplatform. The real series starts here, and I’m surprised at how nothing at all feels phoned in or tacked-on.
Intelligent, creative, and never less than thrilling, Titanfall 2 finally realises the series' true potential with verve and polish.
One of the best first person shooters of the generation, with significant improvements in depth and longevity – and even a half decent story mode.

The story lacks depth, but the connection between the player and his Titan is worth the journey. The multiplayer, however, is almost worth the price tag on its own.
The addition of a single-player campaign was a huge positive for this series, especially due to the bizarre twists and turns it takes throughout. In a year filled with outstanding shooters in both the single and multiplayer fronts, Titanfall 2 does just enough to prove it can hang with the others, even if it is re-treading old ground.
