User blog:KaharZamet/Titanfall: Shooters Re-defined Once More

So, last night, Titanfall came out for the Xbox One and PC. A couple of months ago, I had pre-ordered Titanfall for my Xbox One, so I decided to pick it up from GameStop. I bought the Season Pass too, then went home and played the game. The game is awesome, and I honestly think it's the next Halo. By the next Halo, I mean that it's going to re-define shooters just like Halo did. Why? Well, lets start with the basics.

First, there's going to be 3 DLC Map Packs released throughout time in the game. You can purchase the Season Pass to get all of them at a discounted price. The Season Pass is only $25. Usually Season Passes are $50. I mean, the Season Pass for Call of Duty: Ghosts and Premium for Battlefield 4 are both $50.

Second, the game is balanced. I have never seen a more fair, balanced shooter since Halo: Reach. Even if you aren't good at killing enemy players, you can still get kills by killing AI-controlled enemy Grunts and Spectres.

Next, the Titans are amazing. It feels really awesome to call in your Titan, watch it fall down, and then leap into it. If your Titan falls on an enemy also, it crushes them. Last night, I called down my Titan on a group of enemies, and it ended up crushing and blowing up an enemy Titan. Fighting in the Titan is really cool too. You can pair up with your teammates and decimate enemy players, acting as extermination squads. It's also really fun to go head-to-head with other enemy Titans. I have Nuclear Ejection as my Titan Tier 1 Kit, which causes a massive, deadly explosion when my Titan is Doomed, so when I know my Titan is gonna be Doomed, I charge in there, do as much damage as I can, and then eject when my Titan becomes Doomed. Sometimes the explosion kills enemy Grunts, Players, and even Dooms Titans. You can also hop out of your Titan and have it wander around, killing enemies as an Auto-Titan while you go do other stuff.

For all the above reasons and more, I recommend you buy Titanfall if you have an Xbox or Gaming PC.

Titanfall is currently available for the Xbox One and PC, released on March 11, 2014. The Xbox 360 version of the game will be released on March 25, 2014.
