The competing Titanfall 2 is slight better, but shooter fans should get both. The amusement park map very open and the game mechanics got streamlined a lot too. This is the 1st time I enjoyed it, since its introduction. The regular multiplayer is exactly would you would expect, so I immediately moved on, but the zombie mode ended up being another surprise. Even if the Veteran difficulty was again reduced to what older shooters would qualify as "normal". Well integrated set pieces, a more open campaign structure, and varied space battles or flying segment all ended up amounting to a much better game than i first expected. It's still a shame that the robot partner is the only character with depth, as tragedies need a relatable cast to emotionally resonate.
I can't say that I liked the overly scripted 1st hour, and the overall revenge story is very one-dimensional (John Snow is wasted as a villain), but the extremely bleak tone still ended up being memorable. What we got is no AW or Black Ops but the studio clearly found their footing again. Thus I expected another solid, yet forgettable, paint by the numbers entry. Infinity Ward has fallen in quality since MW 2 (the studio heads were fired), but none of their last 2 entries fell off a cliff either.
